Microsoft Says It Could Abandon Activision Deal if Judge Delays It | The New York Times
  • The least controversial opinion here is big companies need to stop with acquisitions.

    I believe I hold the 2nd least controversial opinion of, mergers suck and all but I really want to like ABK games again, and I sure don't see them fixing shit on their own. I think their games and company would improve under Microsoft.

    ..but at this point? Fucking end this charade. It's obvious too many forces are against it, no matter how much I wanted it to work out.

  • There's More to the Reddit Meltdown Than Meets the Eye
  • I absolutely find great value in forums. And I think the success of reddit speaks to that, as well as the urgency to find somewhere new like Lemmy.

    I still don’t think reddits going anywhere but this should proliferate alternatives which is a great thing.

    Honestly what’s the alternative to a forum anyway? They’ve existed as long as the internet. Sure social media exists but it’s far more ephemeral and you can’t keep old information alive very long.

  • Street Fighter 6 PC - DF Tech Review - Good But Could Have Been Great
  • I dunno, man.. that feels like an overly harsh headline. This is perhaps the best fighting game at launch to ever release. It's got immediate polish, a solid and fun roster, plenty of new-player-friendly features, and no noticably game breaking bugs.

    Surely it could be better, just about anything can be improved somehow, but I'm hard pressed to pick significant flaws in it.

  • Asteroid City (2023)
  • That style is just perfect. Absolutely interested in checking this out. The only thing I’ve even watched by the guy is Fantastic Mr Fox, and they all seem great but this one has caught my eye more than anything since.

  • Tips for using Lemmy for the newcomers.
  • Oh no. I thought i was going to get tips.

    Like for some reason mine still says "subscribe pending" instead of subscribed. Maybe cuz I'm on the "world" server and not the "ml" but I got no damn clue brudda

  • Reddit worked despite reddit.
  • I kinda get this. It's not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I'm interested in. A "front page" to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don't yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they'll start to develop too.

    As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I'm trying to contribute and help that process.

  • Killing Community
  • Im definitely in that boat. Tying back to the baseball example I searched for communities with the keyword baseball and subbed to the largest. With some other interests I have actually joined multiple of the same communities that are just in different lemmy servers.

  • Killing Community
  • I can see pros and cons. More people all at once gives greater odds of some unique perspective to take hold that would otherwise only be seen in a single smaller sub community. But there’s also a more vested interest in the health of “your” community if it’s smaller.

    Baseball is a fun example because I’m really sad the biggest group so far has only like 80 subscribers. I NEEEEEED my fix of baseball chatter so I really want that one to grow, lol.

  • Today is the A’s “Reverse Boycott!”

    theathletic.com A's fans to take one last stand against relocation with reverse boycott: 'It's gonna be a fun party'

    On Tuesday, A's fans will have their voices heard. “We want the whole thing to be like kind of one last party at the Coliseum."

    I’ll be showing my support by watching the game, considering I’m on the opposite coast. Good luck to all the reverse protestors! Fuck Fisher!
