I loved Bastion and Transistor and wished for sequels for both. But SG clearly seemed to prefer to not make sequels for its games all these years; to my knowledge, it has never made one. I’m not sure what or who changed at the company, but Hades 2 is an anomaly.

Has anyone interviewed someone at SG to ask sequel questions? If not, maybe someone will once H2 gets closer to officially shipping.

No, use your brain. There is still no hope for the Democratic Party

Isn’t this the group whose leaders publicly stated “Germany was safer under Hitler,” then both invited and hosted Elon “Sieg Heil 2x” Musk at a campaign rally?

I usually get AppleCare on my stuff since I’ve had great experiences with it. They cover accidental damage and replace the device for a small fee.

Last time I needed it was 2021 when I messed up my iPad Pro during lockdown. Apple chat me online, ran a diagnostic, charged me only $100 and a new replacement was on my doorstep in 36 hours. A+ experience

Dang I thought I had. Thanks for the reminder - fixed!

This might be kinda long, not sure if it’s what you’re looking for. But here goes.

For the last 20 years I have been largely in the Apple ecosystem and enjoy paying for good software whether closed or OSS. Started the career I have today thanks to the indie Apple software scene and the iPhone’s launch. I probably have more app licenses and subscriptions than your average person, I suspect largely for closed source apps (Things 3, Ivory for Mastodon, Affinity Photo/Designer suite, Procreate, Pixaki, etc.). I despise ads, so I also pay for things like Apple Music, YouTube Premium, and even Twitch Turbo because I use the hell out of YouTube (and Twitch to a lesser extent).

I’m also a gamer and I’ve moved from Xbox, to PlayStation, and now 100% on PC, Steam, and Steam Deck. Have bought plenty of games, DLCs, and IAPs for stuff like cosmetics. I know, I’m the worst.

Since I got serious on Mastodon in 2019, I have started seeking out OSS for certain things. I donate small amounts monthly to both the main Mastodon project and to the two instances I use (toot.cafe and mstdn.games). I just started donating a couple bucks monthly to the Lemmy.world Ko-Fi, which I believe supports their other projects (which I haven’t started using).

Edit: I pay Masto $20/year and I think $1/month to each of the instances.

While I have gotten angrier about the state of where tech and even Apple have started going, I’m not sure if a Linux PC and home-brewing my own kernels and writing all my own apps is anywhere in my future (yes, I know Steam Deck is Linux). I might be open to exploring a Linux PC eventually, but I’m also at a tricky point in my life where I need to find a new career path sooner than later, and tossing a full platform shift into the mix would, pragmatically, do more harm than good. But I have definitely started leaning more socialist in my politics and personal preferences for supporting communities and software. I’m donating where I can.

Just like other aspects of commerce, we’ll see what the market does. I hate to say it that way, but that’s simply how it works. Look at what’s happening to McDonalds right now. They’ve been raising prices for years, now tariffs have made things even worse, and people have responded accordingly and go to McDonalds less. Ball is in their court.

Another good example is the recent news about Beyoncé no longer filling major concert venues. I know there’s a lot of factors going on in these situations, but the truth at the core of it is that prices finally went up to a point where a not insignificant portion of her audience noped out of the transaction. Simple commerce.

Get ready for RKF JR to introduce this as a new health policy in 3… 2…

Ah thank you. In fact now that I look at that, turns out I already commented on that issue in support. Heh

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction(s). To summarize my request: I’d love to have a way to bundle multiple communities into a single section or feed in order to focus on a specific topic (and take breaks from… others). The obvious parallel from Reddit is a MultiReddit. For examples of how I use them:

• Games: Just games and related topics. A nice place to indulge in a hobby
• HappyPlace: No, not like that. These are cute pics and videos of animals, dogs, art and photography, a place to relax and remember the world can be good

I see this as one of the most useful and even powerful features of a community-based system like Lemmy. Would love to have this option here

Thanks for all the work you do. Is there a place we can make feature requests? I don’t want to clutter this thread if this isn’t the right place

In this economy??
