Pretty surprised by Baldur’s Gate getting so many players. I knew it’d be successful but considering how comparatively few people played Divinity Original Sin, it’s a huge jump

I use swipe typing, so yes.

You’re talking stupid for no reason

For an app that you can’t even make a post from yet. I don’t care who you are, $180 for an app still missing basic functionality is always going to be a hard sell.

Yeah, no posting yet. That’s my big issue with Sync on Lemmy so far. Monetization was implemented and there were multiple price increases all before some of the most basic features of Lemmy are even on the app. When everything else is already fully functional and free, it just becomes a harder sell than it was on Reddit.

One change I’d recommend is some sort of “Pay what you want” option for a subscription. If he did a minimum of $2 a month, it would be about the same cost but would make users feel like they have more agency over how much they pay. While I’m sure many people would just pay the minimum, giving users more choice will just lead to people who want to chip in more. We’ve all paid $5 for a humble bundle, but I’m sure a few of us have also chipped in $100 if it was the right charity or cause.

I can’t post or search on the app yet… It’s objectively the worst Lemmy app currently. I loved Sync for Reddit, but charging more for a product missing basic features is questionable.

Yep, in my highschool/college depression days, making YouTube videos on music production helped me keep my head up.

I think Sync might end up hosting a Lemmy instance for ultra users. It could help user experience quite a bit

Yeah, I overall liked the movie but there were a lot of questionable moments in it. The point where they recognize that using Margot Robbie for some of their points kinda undercuts the points was odd to me. I also didn’t like the child of the movie, I didn’t feel like she was really a character.

I really like the fun energy of the movie, it feels like a giant music video and I love that. But the social commentary moments are just so on the nose it just feels weird that it’s coming from a movie about Barbie. It feels like it can’t decide whether the audience is supposed to be children or nostalgic adults.

I wasn’t able to when I tried it yesterday. Sync was my favorite Reddit client, but it’s Lemmy offering leaves a lot to be desired so far. It’s early in development though so I can’t judge it too harshly, posting on here is slightly more complicated than posting on Reddit.

Evie launcher. It’s dead now, but I love it

Think history here. Think about the crazy, depraved shit western leaders would do over tobacco in the past. Like American colonization was propped up quite hard by tobacco addiction. Tobacco is pretty much soft cocaine, many of the same irritable and addicted side effects. Personally most people I know say cigs are harder to quit than coke.

Banning tobacco would pretty much create a new problem drug out of nowhere. It would be like if we banned coffee. Historically speaking, humans have been very okay with killing each other over coffee. Numerous countries have had their entire histories change around coffee. Sure coffee does have some health issues, especially with American excess and people drinking full drip pots at home. But coffee isn’t truly an issue until people don’t have it, yk?

Putting cool looking text on cigarettes is never going to work as an anti smoking aid.

Smoking is still going down. The disposable vapes right now are so strong that they make cigarettes pointless. Can’t even feel a smoke after I’ve had one of those cheap 50mg vapes for a few days.

Yeah, that plant wasn’t even a crime until like 100 years ago. Our anti drug attitudes are fairly new, and banning the plants is just stupid. You know why fent and methadone exist? Because they’re synthetic opiates that can be made without poppies. America has been hit the hardest by the fent epidemic because we still have a ton of opiate addicts, but it’s impossible to find anything clean because it’s even more illegal.

Every other nation is doing fine on fent compared to America. Find it funny that the nation that burnt thousands of other nation’s plants en mass is now getting dicked far harder because they burnt those plants and people just found worse sources. If poppies weren’t illegal, fent wouldn’t be what it is today.

I want a pack of these extremely bad, those look hard af

Sync is missing a lot of basic features right now, like posting and searching
