This is not true. You can subscribe to a community on beehaw.org even if your account is on lemmy.ml. That’s what this post is about, that the process for doing that is unintuitive.

  • Twitch made a change nobody liked
  • Everyone made it clear they didn’t like it
  • Twitch listened and went back. Isn’t this what we wanted?

The problem, I think, is that PeerTube (and Owncast) don’t effectively do the parts that content creators™ find valuable - wide distribution/discoverability and linking content to ads for a profit incentive.

If you want to make content or stream as a hobby, these things can make sense. If you already have a large following then you might be able to convince that following to join you on one of these alternatives. Anything in between… I’m not sure it’s very compelling for most.

This looks like it could be fun. Though for a brief second I was like “A new Sid Meier’s Pirates?”

I use the Logitech ergonomic keyboard at work and love it. It does take some getting used to but it is definitely a more comfortable typing experience.

I’m obviously really looking forward to seeing more on Starfield, but here are some other titles I’m hoping to hear about:

  • Fable
  • Avowed
  • Perfect Dark
  • Hellblade 2
  • Contraband

“even with games we won’t sell more Xboxes than PlayStations” (not that I care about the “console war”, but that’s definitely not a confident man speaking)

I don’t think that speaks to confidence in general, I think it speaks to accepting the reality of where they are with regards to hardware sales.

I am hoping this will be a good showcase for them. Regardless, I appreciate that they are allegedly taking the “no CGI trailers” approach.

That would be cool. I know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this.

Yeah I think we may be a little too optimistic with Fable - it may still be too early. But we can still dream.
