I’m a little lost. Pixelfed is already a decentralized photosharing service, and they already run Pixelfed.social. So what is Loops? An app?

Is this in the megathread? If not, it should be.

Nothing else to say.

Flashes itself is based on Berlin developer Sebastian Vogelsang’s earlier app, Skeets, his initial foray into creating consumer-facing apps for the growing social network, Bluesky, which now tops 27.5 million users.

While Bluesky offers its own official mobile client, Skeets differentiated itself by focusing on the needs of iPad users as well as customized accessibility features for blind and low-vision users, as that’s one of Vogelsang’s areas of expertise.

Okay so this is coming from someone other than Bluesky the company, which is very promising for Bluesky’s ongoing decentralization.

a mark of a truly open platform. lol

I saw a YT comment that said “I feel like this is like peeking at your presents before Christmas then pretending to be surprised on Christmas day” and that’s where I’m at. Basically all rumors confirmed, in the best way. Looking forward to those magnetic joycons 🙏

it was definitely a new Mario Kart. DK’s design was hella different.

Mario Maker? A lot of folks thought the Switch was a step down from the Wii U for MM.

Lol you madlads

PS methinks you should delete your link after some time, 24 hours at the most.

Does anyone like green tea?

Or just one massive signal group chat

Thank you, I’m sorry I should have considered cw. You mind if I add yours to the title?

Streisand effect. I never heard of this place and now I want ALL their merch. Lol

i may be mentally ill and traumatized. but maybe a new Ross’s Game Dungeon could fix me…

i can see the Game Informer article now…

he has to live with seeing headlines calling him a convicted felon, which is like jalapeno oil in the eyes to Trump

yeah, except i can’t play Mosaique Neko Waifus 3 on the Nintendo Switch 2

dealbreaker

i think you’re right, but I think they’re kind of just facing reality. Games cost too much to make, and they aren’t making enough on hardware sales to justify exclusivity. Although, I think the door is still open for them to stay in the console space, and maybe even overtake Sony in the next gen if some weird stuff happens between now and then. More likely, I think they just become another Sega like you said, except they still sell a small batch of hardware on the side, for people that want a Game Pass console.

i heard very similar remarks on Jeff Gerstmann’s podcast on Tuesday. He’s an old GameSpot/Giant Bomb dude. Sorry if my original reply came off as snarky in any way, reading back i can see how maybe it comes off like i’m accusing your response of being not your own.

Microsoft can’t wait either
