I mainly use(d) Reddit for Piracy content (Piracy, PiratedGames, Steam Deck Pirates etc). When the migrate happened, saw they made a Piracy Lemmy instance and just joined that.

Can’t speak for others but I take few day-old accounts and their opinions with a grain of salt. Often it happens that it is just a troll to bait other people.

This really reminds me of “Brave New World”, kind of scary actually.

Sounds like “you can have freedom but only the way I want you to!” Which I assume leaning towards fascism.

Either Geass from Lelouch or Makima’s control power.

Not true but it seems you love to go off-topic and use whataboutism and therefore I will just block you. That way I don’t have to see your pro-genocide and anti-protesting nonsense.

Do those protesting for Gaza also protest about Sudan, Yemen, Rohingya, West Sahara, Yezidis, Uyghurs, Christians in Nigeria, Kurds, and so on?

Whenever I read this, I roll my eyes. This is one of the most ridiculous arguments.

You have to start somewhere and you can’t put your focus on everything. Plus your argument is a method to move the topic to “do you/they this and this and this and that?” Instead of the actual on-topic.

• Tell absolutely no one.
• Helping the people who did help me when I was in need of help.
• Live an simple, boring life.
• Continue studying what I like (I love learning).

PLEASE give the Steam Deck a try if you haven’t yet and are thinking about a Switch 2.

I’m definitely* going to purchase a Steam Deck (OLED) very soon. I know it’s a couple of years old but the amount of games being able to play and games being often on sale. Not to forget the Steam Deck (OLED) can emulate a lot of games and also play 🏴‍☠️ games on it.

I thought about the Switch 2 but the console is already expensive and then the games being each €70, €10 game update and DLCs being €10-30 each is insane. Though, I do realize that it’s probably similar on other consoles (PS5 and Xbox). Might be just spoiled being a PC gamer?

Got the AirPods Pro 1st Gen in 2019, still going strong. Usually have to recharge every 1,5-2 days and I use them pretty every day for commute from home to work and back (in total about 1,5H).

I just hope someone manages to hack it and they Nintendo can’t fix it. Then another emulator rises.

The hostility has been here for quite a while, though. When the migrating happened from Reddit to Lemmy it was all nice and cozy but after a year or so the hostility was already there. Very often people did not want to acknowledge this (and started to heavily downvote the particular comment stating this). Plus with what is happening* in the world, the negativity from reality seeps into the digital world.

But anyway, the best thing to do is just block anyone who is hostile towards you for no actual reason. Has no point to put energy and/ or time in it.

What about owners that have both? Hah.

Bit busy so can’t make a long comment. Just wanted to say, welcome to the ‘dark’ side. I highly recommend to check the instance I’m on for everything you need (Megathread). It tells you where to look, which safety measures to take etc.

I wanted to purchase Metaphor Refantzio because the game seems good and then figured out they blatantly said “you don’t own Metaphor even if you purchase it”. Thus decided to pirate it (it isn’t cracked but it is playable).

Let’s agree to disagree. We both have different opinions and I’m not in the mood to go over and over and over with the chats about something we won’t agree on anyway.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use a social media.

You are entirely right when it is about centralized social media (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter and the likes).

However, for example; Lemmy and Mastodon you at least need to be a bit tech-savvy.

• Making account is different but then you get;

1. The multiple instances.
2. Multiple communities that are the same name.
3. What is exactly decentralization.
4. Federation.
5. Difference instances can give different results (blocking, rules, and what you can and cannot see from other instances).
6. How Moderation works is different than the usual platforms.
7. Community discovery is different. Searching for something can be quite difficult on Lemmy.
8. Lemmy’s community has a lot of tech-jargon which non-tech savvy people might find difficult to wrap their head around.
9. How the banning system works on Lemmy is different than the usual platforms as well.

I don’t introduce them to Fediverse and don’t talk about it None of the people I know in real life are tech-savvy except one guy.

The questions reminds me of Brave New World.

Glad you enjoyed the games, I suppose. But I never really cared for the Borderlands games and reading how Pitchford is behaving makes me not want to even try the games.
