I think we all know that patents don't usually mean anything and aren't an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

Are these consequences in the room with us right now?

I used to love playing Pandemic, but now that we actually lived through one, none of my friends want to play it anymore, myself included. I'm really looking forward to Daybreak to hopefully reattain the vibes of the original while still being fresh.

Anyone else here getting it or looking forward to it?

The rates of gun ownership between Switzerland and the USA are vastly different. USA ownership is almost double that of Switzerland.

I'm not denying your take that it's a multifaceted issue, but equating the gun ownership between Switzerland and the USA doesn't paint an accurate picture.

If you don't call you'll continue to grow distant. Be the change you want to see. Reconnect. Life is too short.

Post is funny, but AI memes are weird

I used to use a bot in one of my communities to help me out. Turns out it spammed way too much. Once I got feedback from the community I turned it off. I now have sources fed to me privately via RSS and then filter content based on what I think the community will enjoy and post it manually. Is it harder? Yes. But the community has more engagement, comments more, and votes positively more often since I started doing it this way. I also gain consistent new subscribers daily. I also have control over the "nozzle" so if multiple stories are worth posting but there are too many, I can sideline some for when the news slows down and post them later.

Upvote this comment to vote YES and merge the community building efforts under the c/PlayStation community.

This is a comment. Engage with it.

The only thing I like more than sync is people having the option to choose the app they prefer.

Lack of 3rd party apps is why a lot of us are even here in the first place. The more developers committed to Lemmy the better the platform will become.

But what if it's all a hoax and we make the world a better place for no reason?

This is a very good and fair point. I did consider this and was beginning to actively investigate something like this already, specifically lemmy.zip. I have been pondering a move to something more appropriate for awhile now. Unfortunately the Mali situation is forcing my hand to act more quickly, and I wanted to pick an instance that has a known track record. The World admins have successfully run both lemmy.world as well as their mastodon instances. I do not know much about the gaming-centric instances and their admins enough to jump in blindly at this time. If I had more time to develop those connections with them, I would have done so (and was planning to do so).

I do think that something like a gaming-centric instance is the way forward long-term and supports the Fediverse's values and it will be something I deeply consider when evaluating a potential future migration due to future circumstances or for something like a PS6 community establishment. If there were ever a way to more easily migrate communities, I will also consider this down the line.
