I do feel for those who were enjoying a peaceful place until us rabble turned up needing to go through the stages of grief.

I'm very grateful for it existing.

I've tried browsing with the app but the content I'm being fed seems to have different priorities to rif. The niche stuff that I really want to read appears to be being buried.

It's made it so much easier to just not give them any content myself as I decided to stop posting there.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where lemmy goes as it's attracting the kind of people I enjoy associating with. Reddit is headed in the opposite direction IMO.

Yes, to communicate at least one peer needs to be port forwarded.

If you don't have port forwarding and the seeder doesn't then you won't see them.

A lot of casual torrent users won't know about this so it's a common issue on public trackers.

I'm the same.

My PC plugs into a monitor and my living room TV, so I buy for that mostly as it results in the best performance.

I have PS5 for exclusives and my son.

I have a Switch for exclusives and portability. ( I even have a Vita for extra portability).

Personally​I could live without a portable Switch 2 as I'm planning on going for a next gen Steam Deck or an equivalent once they can handle current gen games.

However I'm definitely not the main market for a switch and I reckon good enough graphics combined with portability has been its greatest selling point.

Bandwidth to storage is going to become more and more important so I'm not keen on that.

I've been wondering the same thing and I'm looking forward to having my questions answered.

Corporations shouldn't get sole control of the benefits of the records of public discourse, those should be freely available to everyone.

Console choice seemed to create epic levels of disagreement.

Returnal, so I'd definitely survive but at what cost to my mental health.

I hang out with my son and we play games together. We either play together or he plays on the PS5 and I play on the PC in the same room.

It's allowed me to teach him healthy habits such as taking a break when he's getting frustrated rather than getting angry at the game. We also share our triumphs and disasters which makes it much more social and since I'm a gamer I can curate the games he plays.

Personally I'll be gaming until I die, fortunately my wife doesn't see it as immature as I've never allowed it to interfere with being a functional adult.
