Oh great I hope it's soon because this will dominate news and social media until and for quite a while after.

Cats if I have to choose. Both can be great but I don't really want to keep animals as pets.

Primarily my gaming PC, but it's getting pretty old. AMD FX-8350, 16GB RAM, GeForce 1050Ti, lots of storage.

In the living room I have a Switch and Steam Deck, I play the Steam Deck more lately, mostly for co-op games like Stardew and Brawlhalla.

Oh and I still have my fat PS3 hooked up in the living room, played some Rock Band on it this weekend.

I just started The Following co-op last night. It reminds me of Dying Light mixed with Far Cry 5; instead of The Father and his cult you have The Mother and her cult. Farms, tractors, mountains, fields, a lot of similarities. Gunplay is better in Far Cry, melee and parkour are better in Dying Light. Grappling hook is the best. We are having fun so far but the volatiles are ridiculously hard when there are more than 2 or 3.

Yeah looks like they are MacOS and invite-only for now. Hopefully they are onto something good and we will all be able to try it in the future.

I don't know, them asking me for my email address to be put on a waiting list isn't really an encouraging start.

Steam shows my most hours are in Planetside 2, I did play almost daily for a couple years with a good outfit.

Second most hours is Arma 3, tons of time spent there in single and multiplayer. Recently got back into it with the "JMs Of Order and Peace" Star Wars mod and the Dynamic Recon/Combat Ops missions.

I went for beehaw first too, couldn't get registration to respond but then saw they didn't offer downvoting. Strange decision IMO.

Either they know the potential problems and for some reason don't care, or they are not aware of what they're giving random strangers access to.

It's so crazy to me that people will install spying devices in their homes that X number of random faraway people can access and they will PAY to do it. Even if everything is 100% honorable and well-run initially, most everything changes given enough time.

ChatGPT seems to make stuff up way too much. I still use Google for mundane searches, duckduckgo for things I'd rather keep private.

The Android client I use will quit working at the end of the month if nothing changes. Reddit is becoming a publicly-traded corporation sometime this year, and that will no doubt cause big and mostly negative changes based on past experience. And old.reddit.com I suspect won't last long. So this is my redoubt, I can see it's a viable place to fall back to even if I don't completely understand Lemmy and whether it is sustainable if a huge number of Reddit users start using it.
