So I just bought a brand new "dumb" TV for $150 off of Amazon (43" 1080 Sceptre). It isn't high end in the slightest, but it IS brand new and not some weird old stock and the picture and sound don't feel too far off from my significantly more expensive higher end LCD TVs. I wanted one that I could put on a rolling stand and move between a few rooms and saw no benefit to 4k at that screen size. Other than that, there are some decent "digital signage" TVs that were decently priced available as well from Samsung and a few other brands. I didn't see anything that was OLED, but I was burned hard (quite literally with burn-in) on earlier OLED gear, so I am avoiding it until the prices get low enough that I can be fine with the chance that it will be crap after 4-5 years of use.

The Dead Cells team definitely has the chop to make a great game, even if I feel it won't be exactly like an Iga game. That being said, they are likely better off not letting Konami swallow them based on how they have treated their previous star developers. (I'm still pissed about how they treated Kojima).
Also thanks for reminding me about their pachinko obsession. I don't know why it feel so bizarrely amusing to me, but it does. I just hope they can finally get SOTN ported to PC before they go full pachinko.
It was nice to see the "Dominus Collection" get released on PC at least, but I'm not sure Konami is capable of making a new and actually good -vania game without Iga.
That mall map looks like a map of a later Doom 2 level. Monster closets everywhere!
It's absolutely the defederating that worries me more than the blocking. I have seen talk about nontrivial lemmy instances mulling defederation enough to keep an eye on it though.
It's implied and repeated several times in the ToS.
Dbzero and programming.dev are already also high on my list, but thanks for the recommendation. I'm not in a super hurry to move or anything, I've never been given a hard time on ML, but I hate to think I'm slowly being edged out of the wider lemmy experience.
Not to be confused with what happens when you ask Oracle a question. Their answer is always "give me a shitload of money".
I have to say the responses in this thread are a bummer, but I'm not surprised. I signed up on lemmy.ml because when I read the descriptions of the various instances, ML's "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts" sounded pretty great and I saw a lot of technical communities that interested me. I didn't expect the politics. I tried to make a new user on .world a few months back, but I seemed to get stuck in some sort of user verification limbo. Maybe I'll try midwest.social since I moved to the midwest recently.
Beholders and Mind Flayers are probably my favorites. As a bonus, whenever someone says "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I can't help but ask "but which eye? They have so many!"
I am right there with you. My Pixel 4a is still going, but there doesn't appear to much anything on the market to replace it that doesn't have a boatload of caveats.
While never calling it your excellent "quickadilla" name, I have been doing that with leftover beef and chicken taco ingredients for years. It also works well with some leftover Asian and Indian dishes.
