A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I’m not blind, just an ally)

Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

I agree. I understand it’s a lot of data to pull, but even a status bar that can be checked on it’s own page would be a help for people to understand why their comments/posts aren’t showing up/why the stats are unbalanced.

I’m really happy to see so many people posting this article. While I was a little annoyed at first, I realized that it’s better overall to see this popping up everywhere.

If you haven’t read this yet, It’s great for understanding the upcoming challenges the Fediverse will face.

It’s cool that you can understand a topic without being a huge fan. Cool to keep up with the entire industry as a whole. Good stuff.

I think you spoke on the most important point. New Super Mario Bros lasted its tenure for far too long, basically killing the entire 2D Mario franchise. This breath of fresh air will continue to inspire future generations of developers to continue to care about 2D Mario. Feels good, considering my entire childhood was spent playing 2D platformers on Nintendo consoles.

Yeah I definitely don’t pre order games anymore. But I’ll be picking this one up on release for sure.

I was going to post a comment similar to this. We’ve made history here!

HI YOUTUBE!

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm. It’s meant to look like somebody performing a salute.

ie: Marine Captain Space Ranger Robert, reporting for duty, sir! o7

Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we’ll truly start to see this community take shape.

I feel like this is how it will realistically happen though. People will flock to one instance and use that one community, otherwise it becomes too stagnated.

The best thing about federation is that if that hugely popular community’s instance were to crash/go down, the community can just join another one. Sure it might take some coordination, but why not have one central place to hang out until it gets shitty?

Imagine youre at your favorite bar. They get new owners and then all their prices change. But hey guess what, you can make an exact copy of the same bar on a different instance! “Hey guys, lets all go to this new bar thats literally the same thing across the street!” and then everybody is happy.

I saw this coming from a mile away. Sad, but no longer necessary.
