My wife and I was pursuing adoption, got started a little bit before the pandemic hit. We knew it would be a long wait, but during lockdown the agency told us that now even fewer women are turning to adoption. Being at home, and having more people work from home, made it possible for less women to seek adoption. We have since switched to gestational surrogacy.

You called it, nice! I thought Gumiho would take out Dark, but we saw how that went.

Maru is actually too good, I wanted something more exciting in the finals.

I haven’t found a good OT one yet, but sdf has a network so I’m gonna give it a chance.

+1 for the Lounge, I self host it and it works very well!

I’m very curious how instances can have some unique features and personality.

I think something like r/place would start as something not federated, only for local users. What would it mean to federated it? If there was demand then federation would be added and instances could opt-in to the app.

I hope instances come up with these little widgets to make their place more unique. Right now every lemmy instance feels like all the others.

Oh this looks interesting, I hope to play with it sometime.

Thanks for the write up! I use Syncthing for a similar result for a while, but now I just game on one device to keep me away from the desktop when the work day is over ha ha.

Yes, if lemmy.sdf.org defederates from the Threads server, you wouldn’t be able to follow Threads users using your SDF account.

I think Threads is Mastodon-like, even with federation it’s not currently easy for the two to interoperate. Threads users could subscribe to a community and post replies, but how I’ve seen it on my Mastodon account is that it’s super hard to keep track of discussion.

Personally, I like the “wait and see, defederate after first offense” approach that some are taking.

Tell me more about the preconfigured image for the shinden. I’m very interested in light gun games! Time crisis 2 in the arcade was my jam!

It’s great! I’m a fan too. My only complaint is the triggers are not analog, but I’ve only had an issue with it on dreamcast games, so I’ll play other stuff for now 😀
