Which literally just had a surprise price hike last week where I am that makes it cost more than my rent. The fourth price hike.

The greedy price hikes were why I had decided not to get a PS5 in the first place, and this price took me right back to that.

Seeing all the clips of Astro Bot was making me really want a PS5, despite the big price hike we got just last week where I am, then I saw this price and my desire for any PS5 curled up and died again.

I’m replacing my phone soon, and I’ve anyway decided that when I get a new phone, I’m not installing that cursed app on it. That’s how I’m finally going to cut myself off from it and be done.

He has, in fact, been arrested.

His father bought it for him as a present, which is legal, as I pointed out, because minors can own guns in Georgia.

Here’s a pretty good explanation: https://www.engadget.com/social-media/brazil-bans-x-for-refusing-to-comply-with-supreme-court-order-230247980.html

For anyone wondering about Georgia’s gun control laws:

-No background checks

-No purchase permit laws

-K-12 teachers are allowed to carry

-No red flag laws

-No bans on high capacity magazines

-No secured gun storage required

-Open carry / no concealed carry permit required

-No ghost gun regulations

-People with assault or violent misdemeanors can carry guns

-Colleges and universities must allow guns on campus

-Minors can possess rifles and shotguns

But Brian Kemp is urging all Georgians to pray for the safety of those in the classroom!!

It really was a ridiculous question and I’m glad she didn’t entertain it.

Jfc, the story gets worse. Somehow.

Daughter storms out of father’s rape trial after court hears he kept nude pictures of her

What got me was the one guy who said it wasn’t rape because “It’s his wife, he does what he likes with her." Tf kind of reasoning even is that?!

So that one guy created THREE different identities?! Wtf.

I thought the headline alone was bleak, then I read the article and saw the reason there’s a shortage is it’s just not profitable enough for the drug company to make it.

You’ve highlighted what is definitely a major problem with the Fediverse - all it takes for you to lose all the hard work you’ve done building up a community is the person running a server to pull the plug with no warning.

I loved kbin social - I started out on there, and only moved over to lemmy because it was getting too erratic and it was impossible to find out what was going on. Being able to move is a great thing, but if you miss your window to move, you’re SOL.

Admins definitely need to be willing and able to have the reins over to someone else if it’s getting to be too much, or to at least let people know in advance if they’re planning to shut down. Communication is key.

You didn’t look very hard.

No voice actors, no writers…the future you’re envisioning for gaming completely sucks.

I’m not talking about what is currently available. I’m talking about the future in gaming.

So am I. Where are the future voice actors who wolud voice the major roles going to come from if the jobs they depend on to start out and get their foot in the door/build up their resumes at the beginning of their careers are gone?

Aren’t those minor roles exactly how people get their start in voice acting and start building up their resumes? Actors have to have a place to get their start, too.
