Depends on the streamer, I guess. Personality probably matters more to those that are variety streamers - people that play many different games at any given point with a large general audience and probably less important for those that specialize in a specific game that has a built-in community of people interested in that game.
Personally, I don’t care as don’t follow streamers myself. But seems like the right thing to do is to not abandon the people that built you up to begin with because something shinier shows up. Make a transition over time to something new, sure. But when it’s sudden like this, it’s hard to see it any other way.
New game = new community = new dollar signs, I suppose.
Been interesting watching streamers quitting their current games to jump immediately onto Deadlock, some even in tears pretending to be doing anything more than abandoning the communities that built them for anything other than the dollar signs they have in their eyes.
Appreciate the browser extensions link, thanks.
Tried it a bit yesterday on Windows. Opened a Github link in it and Windows Defender killed the app saying it was a threat. Definitely a false positive but seemed odd to see the entire app just die instantly, lol.
Tencent has ownership in a lot of those too.
Pretty sure that is the actual default location for standard EmulationStation, as opposed to ES-DE.
Epic did not get bought by Tencent. Tencent owns 35% of the company’s shares. Also, if you were trying to avoid companies that Tencent has any ownership/shares in, you would have almost no one left as they have bought shares in just about every major gaming company out there.
Such a great band, sad to see they went different ways, but still new music coming out from both sides.
You really shouldn’t trust anything important to a pi. I hope that you at the very least have that pi on a UPS if you’re going to risk your data this way.
The usual brainrot at night is Overwatch with friends. Beyond that, played through Doom again fully for the first time in ages and halfway through Doom II with the recent Nightdive made rerelease, which is quite good. Since the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters were on special last weekend, I grabbed the six of them. Played through the first Final Fantasy and finished it 100% in about 18 hours, never finished it before and enjoyed it. Started working through Final Fantasy II but it’s a very weird game.
I wasn’t aware of GlazeWM before, so thanks for giving me something else to check out.
I had originally hoped to use my Mastodon account to follow Lemmy communities but the fact that every single comment on a post pops up in my feed made it… just really unusable. Really happy with using #mbin for Lemmy though and keeping my Mastodon and Mbin separate.
It’s one thing to show it off, it’s a whole other to actually show people how to set it up.
I cannot tell you about the public invidious instances but running my own privately does not proxy requests by default.
Probably unintended side-effect of this post: A few people like me discovering new communities to follow. Thank you!
I’m kind of mindlessly grinding levels in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters right now.
lol, no. The only time I spend watching streamers at all is when there are drops for a game I want and I just mute it and leave it in a tab, but thanks.
