They're out of source material, and I'm guessing it's going to start departing from where a game would go. So, I'm expecting GoT season 8 quality.

Just remember, it was your failure and ~~our customers~~ mean gamers who caused it, not us and our "projections"

Anthem will also be removed from the EA Play playlist on August 15, 2025, and EA says that the sunsetting of the game has not led to any layoffs at developer BioWare.

Is there anyone left at BioWare? What the two people who just turn on the lights every day? After DragonAge they kneejerk let everyone go rather than reflect on anything and then patted each other on the back for being such great managers.

Always nice to see a positive outcome, let's hope they lose the appeal.

Andor hands down. Every episodes theme was directly related to the theme of the episode, there were hidden themes that people didn't pick up on until later. It beautifully captures the suspense and drama of each episode. 100% my favorite

Personally I couldn't stand her, but I'm glad she brought you so much joy!

Remember kids, don't buy into hype anymore. Hype is a marketing tool. They don't have to make any promises that a game will be good or even come out just because they hyped you up for it. Don't allow yourself to be excited for anything until it actually releases.

Also competition, and I'm not actually talking about indie games, although that's helping. Competition with older games. Why in the world would someone pay $80 for a mediocre new game when they could replay a classic hit that they haven't played in few years? When was the last time you played the witcher 3, or the mass effect trilogy? Would you rather replay one of those, or pay $80 for the new assassin's creed?

Weird, that didn't happen to us, glad you caught it and figured it out though

Gotta love how they always have a euphemism available for "ruining people's livelihoods so we can appear slightly better to investors"

Seconded. If they can't optimize their code (which, I have never seen applications require 256 gigs of ram even in FAANG so I find that doubtful), then they need to rent a machine. The cloud is where you rent it. If not Google, then AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, any number of places let you rent compute

Any YouTubes of their sets?

Holy Crap, 50 subscribers! (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech to c/popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
 

This instance is only 8 days old and we've already crossed 50 subscribers! Thanks everyone for being here.

So everyone knows, there are only a couple hard rules and they are pretty much just around don't be a jerk. This isn't Reddit, let your opinions and thoughts soar, I'm excited to hear what you all have to say about your favorite music.

We only have a couple basic rules for now (unless people prove we need more, but so far everyone has been really chill) Rules

  • As stated, no hate speech, no NSFW.
  • General “Don’t be a dick” rules apply

Don't forget to check out the other communities, TaylorSwift and our new one, Baby one more meme!

Welcome all!

P.S. don't forget, we can create other communities too. I've kept it pretty small so we don't fracture out too much, but if you think we need a CamilaCabello community, you just let me know and it'll be done :)

 

If you are a fan of any specific artist that doesn’t have a community yet, my instance is open to create one. While I designed it to be specific for popheads, I welcome all music fans.

From Madonna to Britney to Taylor, all popheads are welcome! If you don't see a community that fits you, we're also open so you can create one (or ask us too)

We're small now but growing daily (crossing 50 subscribers!). Swing on by and have a chat!

 

On the agenda tonight - 3,600 cable/min (using no copper, of course)

 

Just don't expect an answer

 

Thanks @pootriarch@poptalk.scrubbles.tech for getting it set up!

 
 

I'm have a pile of taylor and misc pophead memes burning a hole in my hard drive, thinking we should make a pophead memes community.

2 things I need first, first, I don't have a name in mind, (will probably keep it general at first, otherwise obvious taylor's would become YouBelongWithMemes but I need a more generic one)

Something that plays on pop? Soda? Cola? I'm not a creative person obviously. Second thing would be a banner image. Gots-ta be reeeeeal classy of course.

Help me show Lemmy to Redditors (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech to c/popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
 

With Apollo shutting down officially I'd like to post something to the pop communities of Reddit. I don't want to come off as spammy - but more of a "Hey, we have an alternative over here and you are welcome to join."

Most popheads/swifities so far have replied with "Why, it doesn't change how I use it" and I'm trying to figure out some ways to make the Reddit change hit home a bit for them specifically.

Anyone want to give some examples of what I should say/post? I'll link the post I have in the sidebar to help those who may want to join, and I'm expanding the server a bit today just to hopefully handle an influx.

In addition, any other subreddits I'd need to post to?

Edit: Posts are live -

Waiting on Moderator approval on the TaylorSwift one. Anywhere else?

Edit: Moderators removed the PopHeads post saying it was off topic

Thanks - @scrubbles

 

Lucky for the LA Lana fans!

Unconventional, before I fully take over, we have an issue with lemmy.ml being overloaded, can I take over this community to mostly just redirect them to a separate instance? We have https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/taylorswift

I don't know if that's in bad faith or not, but if we get an influx of users I'd like to funnel them to an active community rather than they see an inactive one.
