It depends on the game. Like if it’s an online only game, then of course that makes sense. But a single player game, or even a game with a single player mode requiring always online is and will always be dumb.

Diablo 4 not being designed for offline solo play as well (like D2 and I think even D3 was) is annoying though.

I’ve thrown in about $40 total since I joined. I should do monthly but I’m trying to cut down on subscriptions since I have a bad habit of signing up for a bunch and forgetting to cancel. I’ll try to make sure I actively donate regularly though as long as I’m using the instance. I appreciate the effort the admins have gone into making this instance and I want to do my part to help ease potential stress on the financial side at least

That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance

I haven’t completely left, and to be honest the only way I’d completely leave is if the niche communities I cared about died (or were active here). That being said I’ve noticed my reddit usage has plummeted over the last week. I used to basically live on that dumb site and now I only check it maybe once or twice a day for a couple minutes

Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out

Is it possible to message on mastodon and peertube with lemmy (or is it only through kbin currently)? I was trying to figure out how that worked but had some difficulty
