i’ve been an android user for years now and have been using beeper for at least a couple of months. people have been asking for imessage on android for years now and i really don’t know what the issue is. i can understand apple being wary of beeper accessing the imessage server but if they would do it themselves then there wouldn’t be this issue
I’ve finally made it! Lol. This is my 6th (and probably final) loungefly so I know how to manage with a smaller space for all my shit. Highly recommend if you’re used to carrying a purse/handbag and want your hands free.

While this is particularly egregious, this is nothing new. I’ve seen ones that do pro Vs anti LGBT, pro Vs anti abortion, etc. Anything for engagement.
I have a fursona and enjoy the art, both sfw and nsfw. I don’t have a fursuit though, both from lack of money but also because I’m not sure whether it’d be comfortable for me. I run hot very easily and I’m asthmatic so breathing is the big issue there. I’ve also never been to a convention of any kind, but again, that’s lack of money more than anything.
I found this old project from 2018 that redesigned Reddit into a frontend similar to Outlook. Would be fun to see this on Lemmy especially since we have a lot of frontends.

Anyone who knows about kids’ movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I’m having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot...
it’s weird. as long as stores in the uk have had halloween shit, this has been the norm. maybe 20 years ago there was basically nothing for halloween stuff in supermarkets etc and we went straight into christmas.
People often talk about swapping out plastic straws for other materials to help the ocean/fish and the environment, but they also complain about paper straws falling apart easily. Other alternatives that are slightly more sturdy like straws made of straw don’t seem very common....
aside from the previously mentioned uses for people with disabilities, i’d also mention straws can be very helpful for young children first learning to become independent. boba would be pretty difficult to drink, too.

i really hope the dlc fixes some of the issues with performance etc. this was the first pokemon game i really didn’t enjoy so i’m very on the fence about spending any more money on it.
so i dislike regular vapes because of the amount of children using them, but disposable vapes truly are the worst of the worst. they need to be banned asap

Japanese gamers have continued to embrace the PC as a platform at staggering rates, jumping up 43% from 131.3 billion yen to 189.2 billion yen in 2022. That's a total size of about $1.3 billion US.

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
i’m trying desperately hard to like Haunting Ground for the PS2 (i’m a big horror game fan) but keep being interrupted from puzzles and exploration by each of the ‘stalker’ enemies. for context, they can’t be killed or gotten rid of permanently, you can only run and hide. it’s a shame because otherwise it’s a very fun and unique game.
I recently tried to join Mastodon, and like Twitter before it, I don’t understand the premise. You follow individuals instead of topics, and if you try to follow hashtags they change on a whim all the time so you’re unlikely to get relevant posts....
i personally have a firefish account but it hasn’t really ‘clicked’ for me. i don’t follow a whole ton of people so my personal feed is pretty slow. i’ve had a couple of meaningful interactions but on there and before the latest elon meltdown i was aware of some interesting ARGs/spooky threads on the birdsite but otherwise i don’t really vibe with microblogging.
i was made aware of spacehey recently and i adore any social media with that level of customization but my issue is that i really don’t have anything to blog about. maybe i need to lead a more exciting life? lol
i’ve tried hard to get into the first 2 games a couple of times but i’m still not very good at them, any tips? ps2 horror is such a beloved genre for me, silent hill and rule of rose are my favourites.
Mostly it’s an issue with combat. It seems like running away from ghosts really isn’t something you can do but I feel like I waste a lot of film with low-power shots. Although I have to remember that I can recharge the film at save points too.
God, I miss physical keys on phones so much. I currently use a z flip 4 but if it was more like an old style flip phone with a keypad on the bottom I’d be so happy.

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?
