I like the idea of federated social media platforms conceptually, but ai absolutely want to make my home on the largest instances. That's just an artifact of how I use social media, though, I always gravitate towards the busiest platforms because interacting with so many people is the real joy of it.

This was my favorite of these. I'm a sucker for any story about a low-tech world in a space faring age, the contrast is always wonderful and though-provoking.

In terms of Lemmy, I'm just on Lemmy.world, I have no real reason to sign up for something else. I'm also on Mastodon, though.

They've been investing way more in gaming lately, but I imagine their long-term plan involves setting up Apple Arcade as a premium brand for high-end titles in a way that might be undermined by promoting their "competition" now. Like if Apple promoted a lot of shows that were available on iTunes shortly before launching Apple TV+. No idea, though, I'm just wildly speculating.

Frankly, I really miss the Reddit of ten years ago, so this is great. Outside of fruitlessly pursuing infinite growth, none of the additions or changes to the site since then have improved it.

After beating Final Fantasy XVI I resubscribed to FFXIV and played the latest patch's story updates. It's interesting to go back to XIV after playing what feels in many ways like it's successor. XVI has problems, but they're the a subset problems that XIV has, and it shores up so much. My main thing is the almost complete lack of engaging combat scenarios in XIV's MSQ. There's so much fun in the endgame that it's hard to complain too much, but I hope they fix that in Dawntrail.

My comments are appearing, but I usually have to refresh the post. I hope it's something that jldawson can fix on the app's side.

You can still say that about AI. What people are calling "AI" now is closer to Cleverbot than true AGI.

I'm definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.

It has ads unless you pay to remove the ads, which is a perfectly reasonable model for an app to use.

Personally, I'm stoked for the graphical update. It doesn't seem massive, but it's firmly in "makes the game look like your imagination thinks it does" territory, which'll help a lot with screenshots and - I think - the way that they direct their cutscenes. Being able to actually do close-ups without losing all fidelity will be a boon.

You know when you see a game that doesn't interest you in the slightest but you know will make a billion dollars? I'm feeling that.
