Their discless gaming consoles that rely entirely on subscriptions like this were a lousy idea, streaming works for movies but not for console games. Nowadays digital console media takes up so much storage space, my 1TB discless xbox one can only ever have 10 games installed at any given time. And that’s not considering the updates that take literal hours being released every other day at this point. If those green discs ain’t broke then don’t fix them. I can’t wait to save up for a switch, that’s where all the fun games are anyway
One of the many lemmy-like federated sites; I wonder if it lets you sign in with accounts hosted on the lemmy instances since those sites are federated with tildes. Apple mail lets you sign in with both outlook and gmail, and as I understand it, certain apps for Mastodon let you view Lemmy posts (I use Ice Cubes which does) since most of its instances are fedded with us but with a lot less functionality since this site doesn’t let you repost like mastodon does and mastodon only lets you upvote things
Edit: Apparently it’s not federated. Guess there’s nothing stopping it from just being another Hivemind-That-Must-Not-Be-Named in training.
That’s also my case, open-world games that are actually open-world. Mostly Minecraft. And I’ve tried FPS games, they’re too hard for me and I die too much in them. (And in most of them these days the “meta” changes every 3 milliseconds so strategy is impossible)
That, and online chess, though I have ADHD so I’m restricted to the really long time controls like 15 minutes with 10-second increment and therefore stand no chance against 90% of players I meet IRL and friend on chess.com since nobody wants to play anything longer than blitz these days and they always insist on 3 minutes unless I randomly challenge some complete stranger who often doesn’t even live in my home country. Of the many 3-minute “blitz” games I’ve embarrassed myself in, both online and IRL, only in like 5 did I last more than 15 moves, only in 3 did I not lose on time and and only in one did I actually win.
It’s somewhat harder to find friends on there, but once you do they’ll be quality over quantity. And besides, they even have a cool poll-based RPG account.
