Naturally there is always going to be a certain amount of player decline over time, but I have to wonder how much of this could have been saved had Sony not created a PR nightmare for the game with the required PSN account linking.

That said, I’m sure there’s going to be a sharp spike in players very soon, as Arrowhead should be releasing a new enemy faction into the game very shortly, which is going to bring a lot of players back again for a while. Hopefully they’ll find a way to keep those players interested again.

These days, it’s “mid”.

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

I used to buy these little pocket-sized Sudoku books that I’d keep with me, usually play a puzzle or two while commuting to work or something.

That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.

I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn’t get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.

I think most people these days don’t use browser bookmarks as a “check this out later” tool, and instead as more of a “I frequently need to access this page” function. For me, I only bookmark a page if it’s something I frequently access; things like my email, Lemmy, some work apps, etc. In my use-case, bookmarks are a more “permanent” installation to my browser.

Also, “read later” apps generally strip the web page formatting and advertisements, and usually have an offline function of some sort; both of which you typically can’t do with bookmarks. These are especially useful for those who like to read on their commute.

Finally, a SIM card that can run Doom.

Reminds me of something you’d find on the Dreamcast.

I was thinking this, too! The level design looks like a mix of Jet Set Radio’s architecture with Katamari’s color palette.

This game looks really adorable. I wish there was a PS port.

It’s what the doctor ordered.

LOL, he definitely gives off “hall monitor” energy. But for what it’s worth, he is 20 years younger than Miyamoto, so maybe he’s still in the cards.

It’s not that sort of hand-down. Miyamoto isn’t in charge of Nintendo as a whole; he just heads some of the creative departments. The legal/business end of things are still going to be largely under Furukawa.

Again I ask, where did you come up with this age? From what I’ve seen, nobody has specified an age of the victim.

And instead mentions Bluesky, which I wouldn’t even really classify as part of the Fediverse. Sure, it’s federated, but it’s pretty much just federated with its own self, and isn’t accessible from any part of the Fediverse at large.

Where did that age come from?

The transcripts won’t be released unless they’re leaked. Giving out any details about the minor he was chatting with risks exposing the victim, who is possibly still a minor. Releasing the transcripts would be an incredibly damaging move, and not to Beahm; people would almost certainly doxx the kid immediately, possibly putting them at even greater risk of harm than they would have been in to begin with.

We don’t need to see them, anyway. We’re not involved. We have nothing to gain from reading the details. If self-admitting to having inappropriate conversations with minors isn’t evidence enough to convince you one way or the other, then I really don’t see how reading a sext thread with a child will make much of a difference.

How quickly we went from “I didn’t do it” to “I did it, but it wasn’t that bad”.

Who is watching YT videos through this app?

99% of YouTube users.

Those mailer coupons are the only reason I ever order a pizza delivery anymore. The cost of delivery fees, tips, and the food itself keeps going up and it’s becoming harder to justify the purchase unless I’m getting a significant discount somehow.

I used to order pizza fairly frequently, too. Like once every 2-3 weeks or so. But it’s just so expensive now, I think it’s been probably 3 years since I’ve ordered one.

Nickmercs has always been a piece of shit. I feel like he’s only ever stepped up to bat for his friends when they’ve actually done some heinous shit, so seeing his defense of Doc only further confirms my belief that he did it.

Nickmercs’ support is an unexpected canary in this coal mine.
