Woah woah woah there buddy. I’ve only placed the requisite amount of peer pressure required to ensure long lasting managed democracy throughout the galaxy.

In his defense he put in hella hours to get it where it is. I agree he should give more feedback though. He was MIA when someone pinged him in the discord about the breaking changes of 19 and he chimed in and updated it. I was active in the discord and was in the closed beta. He did a LOT of work around the clock. Here’s to hoping he comes back with more frequent (even if minor) updates.

Now all we need is Zelda to be a playable character. Nintendo! Give us Legend of Link!

Limit it to corporations of a certain size then. It’s not people like your friend that are doing the bulk of the damage. It’s large corporations buying up entire neighborhoods to rent them forever.

I can see them diverging again with a beefy next get one (aka switch 2), but then also introducing a nano switch. The only issue I think is if they are both introduced at the same time and only the switch 2 can play switch 2 games (and is backwards compatible) and the nano could only play switch 1 games, then consumers will be confused.

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, “I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube).” I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than “dicking around online” you’ll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I’m sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than “so what do you do for work?”, which is what I’m asked constantly. “Yes, person who I don’t know, let me discuss work during my free time with you.”

I’m really happy for you both!

If you don’t call you’ll continue to grow distant. Be the change you want to see. Reconnect. Life is too short.

Is it really half the game? That’s crazy

Post is funny, but AI memes are weird

I think a recent back end update must have changed it. I had to go back in settings to revert to my grey background.

It’s the easiest way to seed content but isn’t the best for building a community. Communities need to be more than RSS feeds. And that missing element is a human filter IMHO. Curated content.

I used to use a bot in one of my communities to help me out. Turns out it spammed way too much. Once I got feedback from the community I turned it off. I now have sources fed to me privately via RSS and then filter content based on what I think the community will enjoy and post it manually. Is it harder? Yes. But the community has more engagement, comments more, and votes positively more often since I started doing it this way. I also gain consistent new subscribers daily. I also have control over the “nozzle” so if multiple stories are worth posting but there are too many, I can sideline some for when the news slows down and post them later.

This one looks super cute. Might get my daughter this one

Thank you for explaining it to me in detail. The mention of my profile was only to give reassurance that I was going to be actively building a community and not just making one and doing nothing. But I can see it from your perspective now. I will remove the mention from the post.

Fyi I just started !lorcana@lemmy.world

I started it btw !lorcana@lemmy.world

I vote for GoW, but if you are looking to snowball it, play TF2 first since the campaign is short but awesome! Then GoW. It’s decently long, but mostly linear. Then after that, probably Bioshock for similar reasons. Finish it off with Horizon, which can be as wide open as you want it to be, but you can also mainline the main quests to get a more streamlined story experience.

Also, I’m the lead mod over on !playstation@lemmy.world so come join us over there if you haven’t already!
