    Hahahah thank you!!!

    Its…odd, I had a few send me messages on Matrix berating me and saying all kinds of silly crass nonsense that just made them look like children.

    I don’t know why, but people get such a dedicated brand-loyalty hatred against Epic that it turns them into cretins.

    Fingers crossed they stay quiet this time!!!




  • Nice to see so much care and effort being put in here, Dremor!

    I love the thought, and it makes me feel super happy to see this place getting some more focus. Having well and truly burned my bridges (and enjoyed watching the napalm) on my ‘regular’ social media, having this place as my focus on long-form posts just makes me happy. Makes me even more so to see making this place even better is your plan!

    I’m happy to raise my hand to moderate, if you still need extra help. I’d guess not since Lemmy’s workload on a modqueue is a small one. But do feel free to reach out to me via DM if you’d like suggestions/recommendations! Having moderated on Reddit (from giant 10m+ subs to the tiny community-focused ones) I’ve got plenty of ideas to encourage more community involvement?!














  • I get what you mean…kinda negates the ‘unique’ wording there, but the outspoken downside to so, so many handhelds which are released (and touted to be) in ‘competition’ with the Steam Deck tend to omit them. The LeGo got closest with the right-hand side one, which is still kinda small.

    I know it’s worded poorly, but I can (if I peer) still see what I’m trying to convey even with how its set out there!



  • As an aside, I also wanted to thank you for your writing in general. I used to do a lot of writing (heck, I did three quarters of a journalism degree a lifetime ago), and the effort and quality you put into this stuff has definitely started that itch in me again…

    Please do!!!

    I’d love to read more from ‘our’ circle of people. I find there’s…not enough, which is (in part, anyway) why I like to try my best at sharing this kind of thing. Especially in an atmosphere where short videos are consumed like crazy, where A.I. can slap together (poorly) someone’s writing, and where the big sites are just click-bait or begging for subscriptions and support.

    IDK, I’d love to read whatever you’d be writing!

    And thank you so much for writing this, I’m gonna link the RomM team to a new convert :P
