My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

Gaming transcends any age.

Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.

I think the long-term sales of the games you just cited is at odds with your opinions. At this point, Bethesda has made a name for themselves with janky, bug-riddled games with big story, that excel at giving the players a feeling agency. At this point that is Bethesda's brand image and they seem to be just going with it. Like why would they bother spending more money to fix bugs and exploits that have become a signature to a lot of people? Also it's costs them less to leave their titles unpolished and let the modders fix it.

Right, we get it, but if you tried attracting people to veganism with amazing recipes, and annecdotes of how much healthier you feel, people might come have a conversation and try making some vegan food. Instead these communities drive anyone non-vegan right out the door.

The mod logs don't lie and LWA has responded in this thread acknowledging the issue.

The news@lemmyworld mods ~~admins~~ have been banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot, so yeah, let's just keep using bans until this place looks like Reddit again.

Edit: mods, not admins

Say anything negative about that stupid mbfc bot in !news and you'll get a ban.

Umm... I am an American, and never said anything about hating the place. I dislike the American attitude I encounter daily that everything happening here has more importance and everywhere else is irrelevant.
