I have just added Invasion to my watch list. We've been subscribed to Apple TV+ for the last couple of months and I have to say I've been impressed with a lot of their shows, although I haven't tried a movie yet. Always up for sci-fi so between this, Silo (haven't started that yet either), For All Mankind (kinda sci-fi but loved it), and Foundation (really enjoyed it), Apple seems to have become the go-to for sci-fi.

Now that this is officially confirmed, I still think this might work out better for SWTOR. It also might work well for BioWare to fully focus on the DA and ME franchises and fully commit themselves to single player games. They’ve meandered for too long and need to focus on their strengths. Here’s hoping SWTOR keeps on receiving updates, and that DA: Dreadwolf is a worthy successor.

I heard it’s pretty common for lemmy users to have accounts across multiple instances. I have a couple as well “just in case” but the Beehaw community is pretty good and I’m just on it all the time and have barely ventured out on my other accounts.

We’ll see what the future holds for federation but as long as your chosen instance has high quality and active…activity then you should be good.

Have a glass of water at the ready. It always helps to soothe my nerves and if I get stuck on answering a question, taking a sip gives me time to think things through. It’s also practical because if you’re doing most of the talking you’ll end up with a dry mouth and no one wants to croak during an interview. All this applies for both video call interviews or on site, in which case ask for a glass of water before you start the interview.

Looks like Beehaw was indeed the perfect fit and best instance to join. Though it is troubling how many shits like this have joined the Fediverse.

Same here. I think Memmy has improved drastically over the last week or so. Well done to the dev(s?), it’s become my daily driver.

KOTOR spoiler

I don't think there's one. Still, I find it a bit funny thinking of myself and my partner sitting next to each other, each on our own gaming PC, once we're old (or should I say older, yikes the 90s really were almost 30 years ago...)

Happy to see the beehive growing!

Absolutely agree. WhatsApp is the default in my country and all across Europe. For instance, I was on holiday earlier this month and the hotel I was staying in just contacted me through WhatsApp with check-in info. They hadn't replied to earlier emails but defaulted straight to WhatsApp for communication. It would be a nightmare to move away from it at this point. At least it still doesn't feel like a Meta app.

That's amazing! I am so happy to see space posts here in the Fediverse.

I didn't have any strong feeling about Steam but I do have to say the desktop performance is snappier.

I haven't started season 1 yet but I've been slowly getting through a bunch of Apple TV+'s shows. They're really up there in quality. I'm enjoying taking my sweet time going through them. Everything I've seen from Silo looks like up my alley so I'm looking forward to starting that soon after I finish For All Mankind and watch season 3 of Ted Lasso. Happy to hear of another sci-fi series getting renewed.

Most lemmy.ml communities show up as “pending” long after hitting subscribe but I am able to get them to show up in my feed anyway. Is that your issue?

Thanks for sharing! Trailer looks good, will add it to my watchlist.

Basil be pretty good

With the caveat that I haven’t seen the trailer yet, I heard this is a first person game and initial feeling was slightly disappointed because I do prefer third person plus I want to see my Avatar dammit. But a chance to play in Pandora? Will definitely keep an eye on it.

Don’t crucify me but I’ve tried HZD and did not like it. I also tried God of War (2018) and I didn’t get very far. Maybe I was not in the right headspace but both of them felt the same to me like a game forcefully trying to make me feel something but I could not connect to either.

KOTOR and KOTOR 2, Mass Effect (Vigil, Leaving Earth, An End Once and For All), Hogwarts Legacy (very reminiscent of the movie scores but its own thing)

I'm hopeful Ninja Theory maintained, if not upped, the quality with Hellblade II. What an incredible experience the first game was. It was so impactful.
