That was my immediate question too!

The airport “Marriott” in Santiago de Chile. That place was a hole, and a tiny one at that.

There’s no one size fits all answer. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

It’s entirely possible to host an instance that doesn’t require emails to sign up. Blahaj lemmy and piefed don’t for example. We don’t have a spam problem though, because we require manual approvals of new accounts. Lack of email verification is only a problem when it’s combined with open signup

I make an exception to that rule for the /c/superbowl. I love seeing a bunch of owls suddenly appear in my feed :)

Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?

I learned as a GM to set expectations.

“I don’t want to have to fight and force you in to making this game work, because even though I’m GMing, I’d like to enjoy myself too. You need to create a character that will want to stick around with the rest of the group. You don’t have to all get on, or have deep attachments, you just need a character that I won’t have to railroad”

That’s not common in Shadowrun… 30+ years playing and running that game, and I’ve never encountered it!

Something fell over in our server, so Kaity is spinning up a new server and rebuilding lemmy on it

We bypass the issue. We use DJI mini mics, which allow you to connect multiple mics to a single base receiver, and that receiver appears as a stereo sound source.

like madlad, woosh, etc

I haven’t used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they’re a Reddit thing, I don’t recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

So yeah, they’re different

I don’t know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that’s how Patreon like services work with YouTube

It’s how Youtube does it…

It’s possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.

Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access

That was my very point :)

It’s not one or the other though. Peertube with patreon can exist alongside YouTube

What I mean is that they are trending towards being a smaller part of the overall market year over year.

I mean, it’s already happening. AAA games are less common, and aren’t doing as well as they used to, and the AAA studios are drying up. In its place, we’re getting more indie games, more games from small development companies, and they all come at cheaper prices.

Consoles aren’t immune to that, they’re just delayed in their reaction, because the barrier for entry is higher for indie developers. But the prices that people are willing to pay on PC games isn’t going up, because there are plenty of non AAA options available for less, and as that becomes normalised, expensive consoles will falter. Their flagship games will command a premium, but they won’t be able to build up the game library they need to stay competitive with the PC market.

And don’t forget, Steamdeck and the like are out there now, which directly challenge the niche that the Switch sits in.

I don’t think we’ll get a “moment”, but I think the trend will end in a similar way
