It depends on the game. Like if it’s an online only game, then of course that makes sense. But a single player game, or even a game with a single player mode requiring always online is and will always be dumb.
Diablo 4 not being designed for offline solo play as well (like D2 and I think even D3 was) is annoying though.
It’ll normalize a bit and you’ll start seeing more diverse content. Some will quit reddit cold turkey, some will do what i do and hop back and forth, some will just go back and deal. I like it here though so im sticking around at least
I’ve thrown in about $40 total since I joined. I should do monthly but I’m trying to cut down on subscriptions since I have a bad habit of signing up for a bunch and forgetting to cancel. I’ll try to make sure I actively donate regularly though as long as I’m using the instance. I appreciate the effort the admins have gone into making this instance and I want to do my part to help ease potential stress on the financial side at least
I’d add Halo 4 to that list. I think people just lost interest in the series over time in favor of new ones that have popped up.
I didn’t really like the story in 4, 5 or infinite all that much. I honestly don’t like most of the multiplayer maps in the newer games either. I don’t think the new games are terrible but ever since Bungie left they don’t have the same charm to them. Like Halo 2 seeing the scarab for the first time, or the different locales on Halo you’d travel to in order to unravel the mystery of the ring. In infinite you go into a bunch of nondescript towers as Cortana speaks gibberish and the brute guy keeps monologuing at you repeatedly. It was just obnoxious.
Yeah that’s what I really like about it. I also like that if a community on a particular instance becomes problematic somebody else can make the equivalent community on another instance no problem. Makes it easier I feel to not be held hostage by hostile, power trippy mods
No I don’t think it will. I would be shocked if Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc etc ever truly went away. If people remain dedicated to improving and promoting the fediverse it could carve out it’s own space in the social media landscape. And once that happens you never know what the future holds. But I’d be surprised if it took over everything in the space
Sounds like a good way to be 8-9 at the end of the season. And honestly last season was pretty fluky for them to begin with. They let up more points that season than they scored and ended up 13-4. Not gonna win many games with a bottom 5 defense
Ever since I watched the Jon Bois documentary on the Mariners I’ve been lowkey rooting for them (not as my main team but still). This season has been a bummer, kind of felt last season they had finally turned a corner
Nationals fan here. I’m basically at the part of a fandom where you had the party (2019), and then slowly but surely all your friends are leaving while you are suffering a massive hangover, and now the hangover is gone but it’s time to clean up and start getting your life back together.
I’m sad that Soto, Scherzer, Trea Turner, Rendon, Harper, etc etc are all gone and Strasburg’s arm is falling off his shoulder and Corbin forgot how to play baseball. But in a way i’m excited for the future. The last couple seasons were filled with anxiety about losing Scherzer, Turner and Soto in the midst of a collapsing team. But now we don’t have anyone else to lose haha, I can look at who we do have and have a fresh start finally. `
Yeah that’s what I read thanks for expounding, it’s definitely not good as somebody who also uses stackoverflow pretty commonly
All there was to really do after you beat the game was to do the limited time raids, breeding if you want to max stats (which if you aren’t doing competitive is not really worth the effort), or play competitive. And none of those actually took place in the open world they built. Felt like a bit of a waste
I think it might serve it’s own niche. I heard the microblog tab makes it a bit nicer to see content from mastodon users that someone is following. so it could develop to be like a hybrid lemmy/mastodon type of tool. But I haven’t read too much into what kbin is aiming to be
As a Packers fan, I will miss the good days with Rodgers as QB, but part of me is very happy we moved on. Seeing 99% of articles about the Packers being about drama surrounding Rodgers and the organization got real old.
That being said, I think a lot of Packers fans are going be in for a very different experience than they are used to when we potentially terrible for the next couple of seasons.
Well i know mods at stackoverflow were wanting to mutiny because the owners wanted to start incorporating AI responses to questions posted there or something like that
Fine send him to the next dimension
There’s one hosted on lemmy.ml, might be better just to use one another community has already hosted and has subscribers for: [email protected]
Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!
I’ve never heard of the term eternal september until now, that’s pretty neat. Makes me wonder what 1980s usenet groups/conversations looked like. I wonder if DOS or other OS’s at the time had a navigable interface for it
That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance
I think we are a long, long ways off before we could even get to the ‘could’ phase of the discussion, let alone asking if we should.
