  • Quite Mass Effect Andromeda-ish.

    …Which is an under-rated game, IMO. Yes, the main quests and characters have the charisma of sticks in mud, but it has some neat side quests, kinda like a BGS RPG. I liked the Ryder-SAM dynamics, and counter to the “my face is tired” meme, the animations, graphics, combat and everything are all great. Mechanically, it feels infinitely better than Starfield.


    So yeah, I’ll take more of that. Even if it doesn’t have ME trilogy-like characters, which is kinda an unreasonable expectation.

    What I do not want is another Starfield.






  • Only because the desktop market will shrink.

    I think most people’s computing will go to phones, tablets, or phone/tablet-like devices (like Chromebooks or the Macbook Neo) that don’t really count as desktops. I think the PC hardware market will shrink.

    What’s left will be PC enthusiasts and gamers clinging to their existing hardware, and TBH I can see 15% of those moving to some linux flavor as Microsoft basically sunsets desktop Windows.


    Business workstations will be stuck with Windows forever, though.








  • Yep.

    Cool niche content gets sparser and sparser as attention of more popular opinions snowball, and the “hero” posters holding single communities afloat burn out.

    Mark my words, Lemmy (and Piefed) will meet Voat’s fate (amongst other Reddit clones) unless something changes. It’s happened over and over again, and creative filtering like Piefed is doing or “open” Federation as is Lemmy’s focus isn’t going to fix it. Neither will posters. They need more fundamental structural attention/UI changes, in the code.
