I think you have misconstrued what I'm saying here. I hope reddit exists to collect the weirdos, and be a breeding ground for the gross shit it is, and keep it away from here. We don't need to inherit the 2024 users of reddit, no one wants them. Let them echo in their bot chambers until they literally spin into the ground. Keep Lemmy normal.

Hilary was polling at roughly the same numbers as close as two weeks before that election he won back in 2016, if I remember correctly. It was looking like a clean sweep for her, and it was anything but. So don't get comfortable yet.
Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.
It's so much better. Personally I don't hope it grows much either. Satisfies my content itch, have still had some good quality convos here, seen some great comments threads. Absolutely none of the bullshit that Reddit purposely encourages. Plus most of the zeebs and the chronically offended seemed to have stayed with reddit, and I'm super OK with that.
Also $700 isn't going to buy you much of a PC if you don't have one already. Maybe mid spec 1080p.
Not that I'm arguing for PC. I'm pro-console in most circumstances. Only for power modders, power gamers or power purchasers would I maybe argue that PC is the better route. Everyone else, console 100% (except this joke of a console).
AI is just boomer fuel. The amount of boomers running around at our firm that have turned into AI bots is hilarious. Every solution, every question, "ai ai ai ai ai ai ai"
I enjoy making humourous pictures of them and their 9 fingered hands using AI. We've cranked some great memes out lately.
I'm not a fan of multiplayer either. The campaigns are usually good, but they get kind of trope-y, and they aren't very long. The franchise is starting to run out of steam. It also doesn't help that Activision Blizzard is whoring it out way too much, the ux is getting pretty bad.
RTO just means "layoffs" under a different branding. These gross companies know how to be extra gross. When they really want to actually do a big layoff, that's when they'll roll out the "RTO" policy.
Could someone (politely) explain why anyone who criticizes steam gets absolutely scorched?
I mean I'm a user, on the PC it's probably the platform I purchase on the most. I've also used Epic, GOG, and a few of the others. Like most, I'm getting pretty annoyed by having to load what seems like 15 different platforms to play a variety of games.
But I've never understood this blind absolute cult-like following of steam. What makes them absolutely beyond any reproach or criticism? Especially when at least Epic gives away lots of free games (like I think I've spent about $20 bucks on that platform, yet it seems like I have just about every game known to man in my library). Or others that don't mess around with DRM, etc. So what gives?
I think Persona 3 Portable on the Vita had a female protagonist too. I believe it was just a port of the PSP version though.
I always struggled with the Persona games. I had P4 Golden on my Vita, and that game was pretty strange, I got weirded out by it about 15-20 hours into it, and never got back into it. They had P5 on sale at Best Buy for PS5 awhile back, I almost grabbed it, but picked up FFVII Rebirth instead. Still haven't got around to opening it either. I always did love the style of the Persona games though.
Then just go to a different Instance. I agree the powermods are a headache, but at least with Lemmy they have way less power. You can start a new sub with a matching name on a different Instance, and draw people away from the power mods. People get pretty sick of the power mods, pretty fast.
