Its more likely they increased the price and immediately starting shaking down anyone who was paying for the old license price. Its a frustrating scummy tech company “strategy” that unfortunately works because someone at a developer or publisher will be willing to pay the hike if it means avoiding any legal battle.
You mean ‘ram’ it?
Yeah here’s an example from yesterday:
This is posted to /c/memes@piefed.world and /c/memes@europe.pub, marked by this stacking icon thing.
You can see the comments from both communities if you visit either post in either community.
My aim was to take an existing Mastodon post and basically repost it somewhere else here on Lemmy, but then have the discussion attached.
For example, John Mastodon makes a post about XYZ, then I crosspost it to the Open Source community, and if you open that post you can see the Mastodon comments and such, and commenting here on Lemmy would add to that conversation.
Ok this ‘appears’ to work. Each community is viewable as a group in Mastodon, so you can tag it as you post and this creates a PieFed/Lemmy post onto PieFed’s testing community.
Now to figure out the final step, how to crosslink posts.
Oh most definitely, here’s this post on Mastodon:
Still unsure of how to do the reverse though.
Those were actually versions of you from parallel universes, each saving you in the manner that the prophecies foretold.
Well I can’t answer the other parts, but for games: The games industry has been going through a massive upheaval from ~2022-2025 has seen a staggering number of layoffs, games being canceled, and studios being shuttered. We’d be seeing a lot more games right now if they hadn’t been axed over the years.
In the indie game dev side, its sort of* an indiepocalypse where battling for a smidgen of spotlight on Steam is brutal - and even financial “success” doesn’t mean you’ll have enough to follow up with another game. Also because of the above publishers aren’t funding many AA games so its hard to get those going to.
*Its a little different for niches and certain genres so this is a generalization.
I’m assuming your age but I think its normal when people hit early adulthood to start drifting a direction and possibly start losing contact. At least for a few people, not everyone.
That being said, there’s a lot of unnatural disconnect lately due to stress and such and I think people tend to ‘replace’ them with parasocial or low effort social media relationships instead. Basically if you’re overwhelmed you can get some socializing in on Facebook or Instagram or the Ask Lemmy section of the fediverse and it feels like communicating but its actually leaves you wanting more but with less energy than before.
There’s also a possibility they’re dealing with something they haven’t been able (or wanting) to talk about.
The things that have worked for me are low bar meetups. That is, not a lot of time or effort to join. Like hey I’m jumping on XYZ game tonight, who’s down. Or there’s a new coffee shop near your house, want to check it out, etc.
More than I’d care to admit.
Chairs. You can sit on the ground or on a mat by a low table, as many people have done for centuries.
Without much velocity/pressure from the barrel, the pellets are only getting propelled from the primer alone. This short would throw the pellets in a wide area but it would likely be Nerf gun ranges.
Its more about the velocity. A barrel is needed to ‘shoot’ a shell. If you took a shotgun shell and hit a hammer onto the primer to set it off, well it would be a mess of pellets, but it wouldn’t fire with lethal velocity.
I’m actually going to be ignorant here but I don’t really know what’s up with the bunny ears and maid dresses. I presumed it was a fetish but I never really looked into it.
I’m no expert but as I understand it, a longer barrel adds more velocity/pressure to a firearm. Cutting a barrel that short would probably put the velocity in the range of ‘kind of sucks’.
NAL but I don’t think this is illegal, though it is a pretty large red flag that you’re going to get lowballed.
Similar here - The grip League of Legends has on people is terrifying.
I got a handful of houseplants that I’ve kept alive for years (one close to a decade) and I’m not sure its really done anything for me.
This little drummer boy who would just NOT stop playing
I keep seeing the “well its got nudity what did they expect” take and saw this article that talks about the meta-narrative and theme:

It being weird and uncomfortable is the point - Though obviously its not meant to be a game for everyone.
