But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I’ll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

Isn’t that what sale is with it being sporadic? Retail price is for people who can’t wait for sales and need it now.

Not sure how retail price would be used. Permanent price drops are rare for pretty every purchasable good out there beyond digital games with companies saying something is X% off leading to more purchasing with consumers thinking they are getting a deal.

Publishers I believe are also the ones with power to fill the market with Steam keys to then have it priced however they want and including them in bundles that are sometimes less than the price of just the game alone during a sale. Some publishers opt to not make steam keys available at all.

As consumer it’s just unusual to see accusations of price fixing, since I can so easily get steam keys for cheaper. And only times I usually go buy direct from Steam these days is if a company doesn’t offer steam keys, so the only way to buy a steam copy is through steam. And prices for games feel like they’ve been so cheap that it’s the one thing I have no complaints about.

I enjoyed the first game. Didn’t really like the other entries, but the first once did a great job with the soundtrack and a vibe that made things feel nostalgic.

Games like Risk of Rain Returns is selling cheaper than it’s ever been on Steam. I use isthereanydeals often to check current and historical pricing before buying a game.

Feel like that is never actually enforced with my frequent use of isthereanydeals to check current and historical pricing before buying a game.

I wonder what would be said if isthereanydeals is pulled up as evidence, and shows games listed cheaper than steam on other stores. Pretty much reason a majority of my Steam games have been bought outside of the Steam stores, since I’m able to consistently get the games cheaper with better earlier discounts.

Is it listed retail price that is being talked about as opposed to sale price?

I’ve preferred firefox on Android, since it doesn’t refresh on me when I minimize it as often as other browsers.

Yeah, from my experience anything marked playable has been pretty flawless. Found I actually enjoyed the PS3 games more than I did the PS4 ones reminding me of why it is my favorite Sony console.

This awesome. I actually do have a copy of the PS3 copy of the Jak and Daxter collection, but I’m too lazy to hook up my PS3.

I ended up reading the webtoon because of this anime. Haven’t kept up though with the hiatuses, and finding I prefer reading a volume worth of content than a slow drip feed.

Rachel is also the best.

I’ve had to block off entire instances too which I use the Connect app for.

I never found “all” browsable for any platform whether it be lemmy, YouTube, or reddit. It’s why subscribing has been so important to me, and filtering. Like on YouTube which I access through freetube I’ve disabled “trending” and “popular” since even the thumbnails were obnoxious for majority of the videos, and I blocked out channels to keep them from dominating search results. And on reddit what even made /r/all viewable was a reddit enhancement suite filter lists that was in the hundreds for blocking of communities, and even then was a wack a mole that required keyword filtering.

All of any platform will devolve into a shit show. As for niche subs. Yeah, not much that can be done about that if the user base is small.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

I wouldn’t bother with the app. Log in through the website with lite apps.

There’s user name generators. Even fantasy name generators too so it’s not a weird jumble of letters and numbers like a password.

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

But it’s $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.
