    Oh no way! I was just telling my BIL that the best thing subreddits could do is register Lemmy instances, and sticky a post on June 12th during their blackout that the community has moved here.

    Good luck! Mastodon has been a dream community for me. I haven’t yet made any persistent friends, but engaging with people’s toots has been awesome.

    This game has got its hooks in me bad. I don't have a lot of time to game these days, it's rare for me to game like a few hours a week usually (kiddos and work). But I've got a solid 45 hours in the game so far, and no end in sight. I love the exploration. What a wonderful adventure we've been set on! This post is more of a test.

    Since the API announcement, I've made a big effort not to open Reddit. It's working so far. Found Lemmy...but more importantly actually took Mastodon seriously. With the Ivory app, goodness, I'm loving it! So many helpful and knowledgeable people.

    I've been following tags on topics I'm interested in, and just really digging the community.

    Yep. It wouldn’t be wise for me to get one right now at that price point, and I make we’ll into the 6 figures.

    I’d like to wait a generation or two before shelling out that cash.

    But yes, I will have one at some point.

    Agreed. That scene and the one where he’s trying to bond with his kids while recording them just didn’t feel like a “human experience”.

    Even watching him do it, I felt disconnected.

    But I mean, I get it. Recording 3D video of my precious family time is a very valuable prospect.

    This is my take as well. $3,500 has me out priced right now. I could get it, by my wife would kill me if I chose this over some new furniture we need.

    If they indeed deliver what they’re promising, the price is justified.

    But, I would need the world to look real when in the headset, not like a 3D video.

    I’d use this for work and video entertainment/3D experiences.

    Depends. If I want to find something local, like a new eatery or hotel (something based on location), I use Google.

    If I want the definition of something or need something explained, I use ChatGPT. I also use ChatGPT daily to help me write emails.

    I've been using iOS app Ivory for Mastodon, and it's FANTASTIC. Little did I know, they also make my favorite calculator app, Calcbot.

    I would love it if they swooped in and developed for Lemmy.

    Cheers! Lemmy has been awesome so far! I just need Mlem to be developed more, or have some other iOS developer come in.

    On Desktop, it seems Lemmy is at its best right now.

    Mlem has potential.

    A lot of work to be done. Crashes often, upvote button doesn’t always work for me, my favorited communities don’t stick at the top, no alerts, and not sure how to check my last comments or posts.

    To me, it seems obvious to create an account on the “largest most general” server, as they are likely to not be blocked.

    What are the pros and cons of creating your account on lemmy.ml for example?

    The risk I see with creating my main account on a smaller server is the potential for the smaller server to go away if the creator decides to stop hosting. Right?

    For sure! This thing is projected to be what? $3k or something crazy like that. If this is true, I’m priced out for now. But I’d still like to see cool hardware.

    Usually, I do opt for gen 1 products, then buy again on like Gen 3 or 4.

    Haven’t been excited for a WWDC in a while. Hoping the headset is cool tech to marvel at. Have been looking forward to seeing a new hardware category from Apple. What do you think? **First Lemmy Post, more of a test.

    The sidebar to this community sums it up pretty well. “ A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.”
