DanseMacabre,

Nebula is absolutely amazing, but it’s a very specific niche. I don’t think that kind of model could ever work outside of that genre of educational, super high production value content.

DanseMacabre,

using chrome in 2017 was embarrassing. using chrome in 2023 is just sad.

DanseMacabre,

Mike Ybarra confirmed this is not the case. They will launch directly from Steam.

DanseMacabre,

I’ve cancelled various subscriptions through Microsoft probably 10 times over the last 15 years and never had any issues. In fact my experience is often that the bigger the company the easier it is to cancel things or get a refund. Hell Amazon has on multiple occasions just sent me money for something I wanted to return and told me to not bother even returning it.

Obviously I’m not defending megacorporations - they’re fundamentally incompatible with a moral society, but of my many complaints with them, “Their products don’t work” or “Their customer service is subpar” is almost never one of them.

DanseMacabre,

Redfall’s development was started years before Microsoft acquired Zenimax. They had nothing to do with any of the GAAS stuff in that game. In fact people at Bethesda were hoping that Microsoft would cancel Redfall because its development had been so troubled, but Xbox apparently has a very hands off approach with their studios. Maybe that will change in the wake of Redfall’s disastrous release.

DanseMacabre,

both of Jason Schreier’s books - Blood, Sweat, and Pixels and Press Reset

DanseMacabre,

Yeah I used PowerDeleteSuite to “edit” and “delete” all my history, and it sure looked like it worked. When I go to my user profile and look under posts and comments nothing is there, but I am getting replies on comments from years ago (which is already stupid on its own) and there’s my comment, completely unedited and public🙃

DanseMacabre,

Not enough to matter. Not even out of step with any other social media site lol. We’re doomed

DanseMacabre,

the start to this season was pretty mid but the last two episodes have been some of the best they’ve ever had. so excited for the finale!

Threads being in the Fediverse is a plus for me, not a negative. It means I could follow regular people and friends who would never in a million years join places like Mastodon or Lemmy while I still get the benefits of being on those platforms, all while being shielded from Meta’s ads and data harvesting. The only issue is I don’t actually believe Zuck will go through with it. They’ll either never federate or severely limit it if they do.

Mastodon themselves have put out a post outlining how this will affect them (it won’t) and how EEE is not a threat. If Meta does eventually opt out of ActivityPub then cool. It’s not like that’s why Mastodon users were there in the first place.

DanseMacabre,

I get why people don’t want anything from Meta around stuff they use. They’re obviously awful. I just don’t think that even 5% of Fediverse users are going to ditch for Threads if Meta defederates. They were here before Meta and I can promise you not a single person on earth is signing up for Mastodon because it will federate with Threads only to have the rug pulled out from under them. This is a small niche community and that will not change with or without Meta. The people that Meta could siphon with EEE are already in their ecosystem.

DanseMacabre,

wefwef is actually crazy good for a web app. feels as close as we’ll ever get to having Apollo for Lemmy

DanseMacabre,

I played D2 for the first time a few months ago. It’s fun, especially early on, but it really drags after a while and gets super repetitive. I definitely think playing them solo is a slog. That’s why I’m waiting to get D4 until more of my friends are also willing to get it.

DanseMacabre,

except for Scotty, who looks like he’s on the verge of death in every episode

DanseMacabre,

really excited for next season. our midfield has been holding us back for years now. at the very least we should be significantly less infuriating to watch.

DanseMacabre,

I thought the site was unusable (on mobile at least) until I started using wefwef. It’s literally just Apollo - to the point that I’m not sure it’s legal lol. Highly recommend it or some other client over trying to use the raw website.

Yes. 2023, at least from a AAA perspective, is probably the best gaming year we’ve had in at least half a decade. Many of the covid delays are finally reaching their conclusion this year.

For indies/AA it’s always hard to tell until the end of the year because so many things come out of nowhere. But with stuff like DREDGE, Darkest Dungeon II, Wildfrost, and Hifi Rush already out plus demos for future 2023 games like Jumplight Odyssey and Norland being great it seems like a pretty solid year on that front as well.
