Well you have a binary choice. Trump or Biden. Both will fund genocide.

That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.

So they wanted a flyover and I did provide them with that, but I also sent them this as a proof of concept for when I can do with just a bit more effort. They abandoned their original intentions and I have free will to do whatever I want now.

Given that Microsoft have been making a noticeable effort with JRPG games I would expect them to do something bigger at this event. Hoping for a world premiers.

Excited to give this game a try. I've wanted to try the Persona series for a while.

Linux distros are still an operating system.

Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!

I would say, it’s less sad and more liberating to be honest with you. I’ll certainly continue to use Reddit in the long term, but it will be much more in frequently than it was in the past. Moving forward I think this is going to be the primary place where I spend my time. It’ll be cool to see it grow from what it was just a month ago.

Cloud gaming work’s phenomenal for anything turn based.

What is TIHI? Thanks I Hate It? That is all that comes to mind.

Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)

Right. I'm loving this. It is a huge breath of fresh air. Obviously the people hosting Lemmy.world have to pay for this though. If they put out a subscription that was minimal in cost I would pony up even now with the jank and all. This place is worth investing my time and energy into I feel.

There was a german speaking community is all i could find so I just created on for the Vikings.

Everyone should start setting this to their profile picture on Reddit before we bail out forever. :)

I had an R-Zone when I was younger. It was an absolute piece of shit. My mom found it at a garage sale. We had a racing game that I remember and then I remember like some K-mart ass style fighting game too.

This should surprise basically no one. Even prior to this he has made some of the strangest comments any dad has ever made about his own daughter. Shit is creepy as hell.

My only takeaway from all this is that it is obviously way more information was revealed than anyone had hoped. Also this is not a console war thing, but someone over at Sony needs to be fired for that whole redaction debacle. Lol.

I hope so! I really liked the remake of Animaniacs that was on Hulu too.

Set your profile to open to work if you haven't. That makes all the difference in the world.

Why do you feel LinkedIn is creepy? Just curious. Out of all the social media presence I currently have LinkedIn seems to me like the only one that is actually benefiting me. I post very little on there unless I am promoting a professional achievement.

That is exactly what’s happening to me too. It seems to be random. But I’ve started paying closer attention as I navigate around so I’m hoping to maybe identify any consistency and what would be causing it so I can report it.

I was having that same issue.

If there is actually a large influx of people I expect you all will become real busy real quick, haha.

Love to see it! Thanks for the update brother. Much appreciated. I think you all are doing a pretty damn good job thus far.

Well, it’s not a huge mystery or anything…people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.

Dude. Its about power and control. It has little to do with any sense of loyalty. I'm sure there are a few that have some measure of loyalty, but very few mods are doing it because they just love the topic they moderate. They're doing it because it gives them power and control and they love that. Absolutely no one can convince me otherwise.

Same. Most of Microsoft's studios aside from Playground and The Coalition are not getting my blind support these days.

It’s nice that they still have hope and still love their community enough to want to attempt to seek some sort of resolution, but imo reddit the company is never going to budge now.

They never were. They have the numbers. They knew there was money to be made by killing off 3rd party apps. They knew they would piss people off. Really all they care about are the folks that subscribe to Reddit and/or use the native app. They view everyone else as a parasite. They made the calculation that killing 3rd party apps would have a small enough impact that it was worth it in the long run. That is all they wanted. They probably didn't count on the level of outrage they would create. They surely expected some, but definitely not this. They are in it for the long haul though. They will just wait people out to see what the damage actually is and then one day in a month or two they will talk about how minimal the impact was and how they saw very little loss of readership.

I am pretty open about my life and profession online. If someone were to dig into me they would become bored pretty fast.

No need to virtue signal, friends. There’s no stage. ;)

I have seen very little of that here to be truthful. There are always people that live online and only formulate their opinions on what they see online or on social media. But thus far Lemmy has not had many people either left or right politically that have been shoving anything down others throats. It has been chill and I hope it stays that way for a long while.

If you wan to become a streamer just answer one question. Are you content streaming to absolutely no one and on a good day you might have 3-5 people pop in. Your best day you may see 15-20 people. If you are comfortable with that then go for it.

The reality is that streaming requires charisma which most people do not have. It requires immense drive which most people lack. It requires long term dedication that most are unwilling to give. It requires luck which you have no control over and more than anything it requires you to be chronically online which is absolutely terrible for the vast majority of people.

No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn't really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking "This aint worth it anymore" so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.

I think it is more about moderators using 3rd party apps to do what the native Reddit app cannot. Reddit has dragged their feet for years on proper moderation tools on mobile.

I agree, but I am hopeful that Starfield will help them rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Certainly looks like a banger of a game, but we will see.

How can we contain console war garbage? That would be my biggest suggestion. Right now Reddit PS5/XboxSeriesX subs are basically millions of people pretending they are totally above and too mature to participate in console war nonsense, yet the only posts that gain any traction in a meaningful way are Xbox Vs. Sony posts. Maybe find a balance where major ongoing topics are contained to a weekly thread. So there is a weekly game performance thread, weekly Microsoft/Activision merger thread. Something like that. Otherwise this is just going to be Reddit again in short order.

Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.

I think a lot of the people that were going to leave Reddit have already likely done so or are still splitting their time a bit between Lemmy and Reddit.

Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit Reddit admins vet mods? I just assumed it was always a boys club of who knows and likes who in the modding community.

Same. I have Kbin, Tildes, Lemmy and a few others just to poke around, but I find I spend the most time here. I even went and found a script that makes Lemmy look a bit like Reddit and I am perfectly happy.

Battle.Net forums, regardless of the game, have always been a miserable experience. You have severely pedantic developers and admins. Then you have some of the most neckbearded min/max players on the internet. They will get into squealing arguments over 5pts of DPS on a WOW character build. It is truly an awful place to hang out.

Susan Lorincz has been charged with manslaughter with a firearm and assault in the June 2 shooting death of Ajike Owens.

So she was charged. Just not with murder. Which still sucks, but it is much better to go to court and find her guilty of manslaughter with a firearm and assault than it is to charge her with murder and have her be acquitted due to lack of evidence.

I cannot recall which phone it was, but going to sports bars in college and changing the channel on the TV to the games I wanted to watch was so cool. Probably pissed a whole lotta people off, but I was a young college shithead and didn't really register that at the time.
