Truly life being stranger than fiction, in that he was recently in the news after being acquitted in the US.

He had this to say on the American legal system at the time: “the reason I’m sitting here, let’s be honest, is not only because I was innocent… but because I had enough money not to be swept away by a process that’s set up to sweep you away”.

Sad it had to happen, but thanks very much to all involved for working on a replacement. Looking forward to signing up as this UK instance has been the best part of the ‘fediverse’ for me.

They’re not uncommon in the UK either!

An extremely uplifting song about regicide.

This is pure nostalgia.

It does explain why all the niche communities I visit have gone from quiet to abandoned.

Due to being a Chinese learner, I have been playing a lot of Chinese developed games over the last few years. Gujian 3, in particular, makes me less sceptical about Black Myth than others are as Gujian 3 was so close to being a genuinely solid game. I just really hope they don’t skimp on the translation.

Maybe an odd choice - but the original xbox. It had Halo, Morrowind and KOTOR. Some of my favourite games of all time. Yes they were available on PC, but I was a kid so didn’t have a PC capable of playing these games.

One of my favourite new power metal bands of the last few years. Gives me the same feeling as listening to Power Quest / Rhapsody (etc.) growing up, whilst somehow also sounding fresh.

I’m not sure why I am so invested in this story, but I’d love to see some consequences for this cultural vandalism.

Someone the other day referred to posting in niche communities as shouting into the void currently, which I thought was apt.

I thought the world was really well realised, but I wish they’d been just a little bit bolder with the story and characters. I enjoyed the first 10 hours, but then put it down.

I’m seriously impressed with how functional this app is from the start. Like lots of others have said, it felt like coming home given how long I’d used Sync for. Didn’t hesitate to pay for the ad free version once that option was added.

Yeah, this is my experience with Lemmy so far: it has replaced the “all” experience for me, but all my hobby / interests subs are completely dead.

Thanks Tom - appreciate your efforts as this is fast becoming my favourite corner of the internet. Hope your flat purchase goes well.

I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.

It has already replaced the “all” experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.

One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing “Local” way more often than I expected.
