Let's get Gray some run support for a change. He's kept us in so many games that he's ended up taking a no decision on because our silent bats can't back him up. He's a legit Cy Young candidate who may be overlooked because of that.

Almost at the end of the vanilla portion of my 100-hour journey through Persona 5 Royal. That'll leave just the extra semester/true ending left to play before I can finally move on to Tears of the Kingdom, lol. I tend not to play more than one game at a time, especially not really big games like P5R or TotK. Each deserves my full attention or I'd never finish them.
Redundancy (multiple instances making communities on the same subject) is a thing that'll happen. I'm already subbed to communities on several instances dedicated to the same subjects. That can have an advantage, though, in that communities on the same subject but different instances can provide different perspectives on the subject depending on the makeup of the community in each instance (membership, modding, etc). Don't like the community in one instance? Unsub from that one and hop on over to another one. Having one account able to access multiple instances allows for that. It can also help if one community or instance goes down for whatever reason, there may be another community/instance open where you can keep interacting. So I don't see the redundancy thing as necessarily a problem.
I think part of the Pokemon situation is that there is still a strong competitive scene for at least some older generations on legitimate hardware, for gathering Pokémon if not for battling them (you need a gen 3 cart to get a legitimate Jirachi off of Pokemon Colosseum/XD, for example), so there is still high demand from the competitive community for many of those older games. Some pokemon can still be very difficult to get legit versions of without the older gen games due to them being only limited releases otherwise.
Octopath Traveler's soundtrack is amazing. Only current/last gen soundtrack I own. The variety of styles and themes for the different paths and areas really helps make each one unique, and the battle themes are some of the best JRPGs have to offer.
Good to see a win and a sweep, even if it was only a 2 game series. I was a little puzzled on the decision to use Jax as the closer, but glad it worked out.
Another Catholic here joining in the absence of a Catholic community here but without the time to create/mod one myself. For some reason the Catholicism subreddit decided ruling a dying kingdom over on Reddit for two days rather than establishing a foothold in a growing community here was the better idea. Anyway, it's nice to meet everyone here and I think I'm gonna like this place quite a bit more than Reddit. I deleted my last Reddit account over a year ago and just lurked but the whole fedi-verse idea here intrigues me so I thought I'd make a Lemmy account. Let's go!
I'm guessing he's going to target more of the moderate GOP vote who aren't MAGA Trumpians or huge "culture warriors" like DeSantis, and will focus on the economy as the main issue. Given North Dakota's growth during his administration and the state of the national economy now, it's probably his best chance to get anywhere, but I think he just joined too late in too large of a field to really stand anything of a chance overall this time. But running once on a no-chance primary ticket before success on a future try is a GOP right of passage ritual, so if the GOP candidate loses next year and he tries again in '28 he may actually be a legit contender.
Just after I made the jump from GNOME to KDE late last year it felt like KDE development was lagging because that's when GNOME decided to issue a flurry of feature updates what seemed like all at once and it made me question my choice to switch DEs. But then when that cooled off I saw that at "normal" times they really do update at about the same pace and there have been relatively big KDE updates since. Either way it's not a competition, and what rivalry is there is more of a friendly one.
It pretty much being Fire Emblem meets Octopath, this game was right up my alley. I did one play through and jumped to other games that were out at the same time, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. But between finishing what I'm playing now, actually playing TotK, and then with the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC likely releasing just after that, I don't know when I would have the time to go back and do a NG+ to play the extra content and go for the "golden route". I didn't try for it the first time since IMO part of the fun of the game especially on a first play through is seeing where your own choices based on your own assessment of the situation take you (if anyone's curious I ended up with the Liberty/Benedict ending).
I switched over to KDE Neon from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed a couple weeks ago. I was a long time Ubuntu user until a botched upgrade forced a fresh install and I thought I'd try something new. Ran OpenSUSE Leap until I moved in January and something must have gone wrong in the move since my PC suddenly wouldn't boot anymore. So on my new PC tried Tumbleweed, but I got tired of messing with Mesa and codecs all the time so I jumped to Neon since I grew to like KDE so much in the nine months or so I've been using it. Now I'm relearning how to use a Debian-based distro, lol.
Not Strikers, I have enough musou-style games and I don't need another one. I haven't seen Tactica's trailer yet, but if it's a strategy RPG like Fire Emblem or Triangle Strategy I'll probably get it since that's my favorite genre.
