As far as I’m aware, the big “problem” with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It’s an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it’s already enough to push regular people away. It’s kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you’ve already lost them.

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

You mean r/SubredditSimulator? I miss that place, it was funny as hell.

They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I’ve already purchased DOS:2 and I’m looking forward to Larian’s next title.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It’s not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they’ll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

It’s about time we got a major third player in the mobile OS space. Godspeed to Huawei, may they succeed where Microsoft failed.

This is metal as hell.

I feel like you’d be interested in Ladybird. It’s a fully independent web browser under development, it’s still in its very early stages but they seem serious about it.

It becomes even more impressive when you remember how many amazing games came out in 2023. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Pikmin 4, Street Fighter 6, Alan Wake 2, The Talos Principle 2, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Final Fantasy XVI, Hi-Fi Rush, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Lies of P, Pizza Tower, most of these would win GOTY if they had come out this year instead.

I don’t think this applies to non-profit stuff

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

I don’t think it’s that deep. Deadlock, the game they mention in their rant, also has a pretty diverse roster. I think Concord just looks very generic both in gameplay and in character designs.

Chuck has a great shot at becoming the messiah of a new religion then cause the holy book of Norrisism has already been written, it’s called Chuck Norris Facts.

Well, the Visigothic Kingdom lasted for 30 more years after 690, so I’m inclined to say yes.

Speak for yourself.

Why do you assume anyone was fooled? I went to see Avatar 2 because I liked the first one and I can already tell you I’ll be in line to watch the next one when it releases.

ConcernedApe comes to mind. I think he has actually said that a big reason why he made his game is so people would listen to his music.
