Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Woman-centered is not an absolute. One does not have to be part of a single characteristic of a group to have a stake in it, to be an ally, an advocate, a partner, a family member, among countless other scenarios.

I would suggest reading up on intersectionality.

By the way, all of this is covered in the subreddit sidebar, including in an FAQ in the wiki.

Neither the WvP subreddit nor the Discord excludes men from identifying as witches or from participating in discussions.

The Eternal Life of Goldman is visually stunning. Plus Yasunori Nishiki? He's had some amazing music lately. I'm definitely in for this one.

I think this money grab wouldn't have gotten as much run in the media if it hadn't been front and center in the Direct. Feels like a misstep, but then, so does €90 Mario Kart...

I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? in c/games@lemmy.world

Rumors abound for a remaster of this one, but I'm gonna start thinking it was a casualty of SQEX's recent restructuring if it doesn't surface this year.

Pure speculation here, but I'm pretty sure the reason Nintendo significantly ramped up their legal hiring in the past few years is because they figured it was cheaper to chill the development of custom firmware and emulation than it was to tighten up their hardware.

I'm sure they still made an effort, but I'd be very surprised if the security isn't broken fairly quickly.

Lord of the Rings was massively successful, and I've been seeing even more buzz for Final Fantasy than there was LotR. Universes Beyond is certainly here to stay.

GOG seems to be considering paid membership option in c/games@lemmy.world

Steam's investment in UI and store features are part of the onus of hardware platform growth. Steam isn't just a storefront anymore. GOG has no such interest.

I do think indicators are good for the future of Linux gaming, but it's just not good business right now to go chasing it.

A 10-foot USB cable. Most people use whatever's packed in with their electronics, and it's pretty rare to get anything longer than 6 feet. Having the extra length is really nice in many situations.

It's also one of my go-to inexpensive gifts or part of a care package for someone in the hospital. The extra length there is often the difference between being able to use a device while it's charging or not.
