They aren’t locked out yet, the PSN requirement is in 1 month, and the Arrowhead CEO said they are discussing solutions to this problem specifically. I highly doubt they leave these players high and dry

This is awesome! I’ve never heard of this before!

Limit it to corporations of a certain size then. It’s not people like your friend that are doing the bulk of the damage. It’s large corporations buying up entire neighborhoods to rent them forever.

🍿🛋️ Ok, let’s hear them.

I have friends that claim they “don’t have hobbies” but the truth is that they spend all their time with their kids and working.

So if they say, “well I don’t do much in the way of hobbies because I’m too busy working and taking care of my kids.” You can then follow up with “well what do you do for work?” Or “what’s the last vacation or outing you did with your kids?” Or “what are your kids interested in? How old are they? Tell me about their personalities.”

The fact that they “don’t have hobbies” isn’t necessarily it backfiring, you then just need to pivot based on their answers. This is just a way to break the ice with someone.

Everyone spends their days doing things, you are really just asking them “how do you spend your time?” Everyone has an answer to that…unless they are in a coma.

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, “I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube).” I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than “dicking around online” you’ll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I’m sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than “so what do you do for work?”, which is what I’m asked constantly. “Yes, person who I don’t know, let me discuss work during my free time with you.”

I’m really happy for you both!

If you don’t call you’ll continue to grow distant. Be the change you want to see. Reconnect. Life is too short.

I’m excited but I’m waiting for reviews first. I have a steam deck so I’m really just looking for some screen comparisons. I miss the haptics when remote playing the PS5 on the deck

We already experience this on earth to a degree. The moon causes the tides and shore dwelling ocean creatures have to contend with surviving during the high and low tidal periods. Not really weather per se, but it’s something.

I can see this from lemmy.world. it was showing 1 upvote when I saw it and I upvoted it to 2 as of this post.

Got any more? Been trying to get one

I had the same issue with my community (PS5) and a sister community (Playstation). My community was much more active but niche compared to the other community. Ultimately I was handed control of the sister community (PlayStation) by the former mods and both communities voted overwhelmingly to merge under the one with the larger umbrella.

I think this is something you should consider down the road. It may not be the best for now as foodporn and shittyfoodporn and recipes are all very different, but I believe lemmy is working on a flair/tagging system. When that goes live you could unify under c/food and then use tags so that users can set up the filters on their end. If someone only wants recipes, they can filter out shittyfood and foodporn. If someone only wants shittyfood, they filter the rest, etc.

Best of luck on all this. I am still working on managing the very large transition we just did. And we will be looking into mandatory flairs when the feature goes live to help those only looking for certain content.

Edit: I am subscribed to all of the food communities. I don’t do much cooking but I love the food! I’ll be sure to vote more frequently

People are only buying off resellers because of the lack of supply. Supply is the issue. Each individual person has their own idea of what the merch is worth and what they are willing to pay. IMHO you can’t blame consumers nor treat them as a monolith.

With the company committing to making more that should help reduce the demand side pressure. Just look at Lorcana, Disney said they are reprinting the first chapter and that the reprint will not be discernable from the original print. Prices have already started shrinking on eBay as a result.

The only way to fight this is to radically increase supply IMHO

of course! I was just trying to help out by providing an alternative if it’s not working at the moment.

It basically just automates searching the subreddit name and showing you similarly named communities. If it’s not working, you could instead go to lemmyverse.net, set your home instance using the home icon, and then search for all your subreddits. Links you click will open in your home instance and you can just click subscribe.
