How to gift a video game if I don't know the platform
Please help!
We are doing an Angel tree gift this year for an 11 year old who asked for video games. Unfortunately, nothing indicates the platform, and I've tried and failed to find that out. How best to proceed?
We looked at visa gift cards, but it looks like those don't always allow you to add them to your console. Would a GameStop gift card be the best option?
iPhone 15 Pro battery life
Expected upgrades and Apple's track record are indications
Looking for even better battery life with them iPhone 15 Pro.
AB suit over closure
Civil action has been brought against Alderson Broaddus University and its governing bodies by a student and an employee. The institution voluntarily resigned i
A student and employee are suing over the short notice.
The Shire. I'd just live in my Hobbit hole, eat second breakfasts, and take long walks. Peaceful!
Gee retiring as WVU President
With the school's financial woes, I can't say I'm surprised.
Camera. If I'm buying something that expensive, it better have a great camera.
Durability concerns. If a little speck can ruin the screen, then it's not ready to be a daily driver for me.
What are the center yellow keys? I feel like I need a spider key, but I don't know why.
Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. The work is meditative, and you get in a groove waiting to see what the next row or stitches will look like. Producing an object feels productive, and gives a feeling of accomplishment.
Choose bright colors and fun patterns, and it's a lot of fun. There are patterns for all interests, so don't think this is the realm of only little old ladies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Amen. And he got screwed from the Reddit api fiasco. If i remember correctly he was on the hook for as much as $250k in refunds because he's had to shut the app down and refund subscribers.
The guy has to make a living, so I don't begrudge him that one bit.
Very appreciative of the work that went in to getting this out so quickly. I have happily subscribed.
Quick update. I found the blue Devil at Graninger Farm. I wanted to update in case anyone else is looking.
Thanks! I'll keep watching for the event and check for a random down at the farm. Appreciate the help!
Thanks for the rundown! Looking forward to trying the new version out.
Agree on Pocket Casts. It works great for me, very clean UI.
Also a filthy casual refugee. I play practically every day, but I don't make a lot of effort toward leveling. Instead I enjoy exploring, camp building, and whatever events strike me as fun.
You’re right. There are lots of legendary items intended for these builds, and they can be some of the strongest in terms of DPS.
Started Oxenfree. Kinda a point and click mystery adventure. I'm not too far in yet but I'm enjoying the story and humor so far.
Finished Diablo 4 main story and I'm enjoying the sides quests more than the main!
I'm always playing Fallout 76. Having fun with the new quests and events.
What's the issue with WhatsApp? I thought it was great for privacy.
Image over processing
I’m considering moving from Android to iPhone, but I read a lot about iPhone images being over processed. What’s your opinion? Am I going to be disappointed in the camera?
I did find this thread where one user mentioned it may be the viewer on the iPhone, and that pictures look fine viewed on other devices.

I’m curious to hear opinions. How happy are you with your phone camera?
Favorite sock yarn projects?
What is your favorite thing to make with sock yarn, other than socks? I enjoy knitting socks, but I don’t enjoy wearing hand-knitted socks (blasphemy, I know!)
Unfortunately, I’m not a big wearer of shawls either, though I will knit one occasionally.
I’m looking for ideas for my sock yarn stash. Ideas, patterns, anything welcome.
Recommend your favorite writing podcasts
I’m a huge fan of podcasts, and I’m looking for some good writing-related ones. One of my favorites is Quitcast by Becca Syme. She talks about how techniques don’t work for every writer, and how to find what does work for you.
The Mothman Festival is an annual gathering commemorating the visit of the mysterious entity known only as "The Mothman." Every year on the third weekend in September, thousands of people flood the...
The Mothman Festival happens every year in mid-September in Point Pleasant. It's one of the largest (if not the largest) festival in WV. I have been there when there were over 12k people, which is a lot for Point Pleasant. It's a lot of fun with a lot to do. The Mothman Museum is a must see, and I recommend doing the TNT area tour if you have never done it. There's an antique shop, a great Mexican restaurant, and the Lowe Hotel is a great place to stay if you can get a reservation.
Any place to suggest new communities?
Is this the right place to suggest new communities for other users to (hopefully) create? If not, would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?
I know I can make a community myself, but if I do, I believe that makes me the defacto moderator. Unfortunately, I just don't have time to do that right now with other commitments, so that's my hesitation.
WVU Faculty Open Letter
I haven't been following the WVU budget problem too closely. The faculty have issued an open letter asking for more transparency and a different path to correcting the budget shortfall.
edit - new to Lemmy, so I don't know why the URL says "Access Restricted" even though it's not behind a paywall.
Data on number of Lemmy users?
Does anyone have data on the number of Lemmy users currently? I saw Lemmy.world has about 12k now (yay!), but I was wondering if there are any estimates regarding the increase from the Reddit exodus.
Fallout 76 new expansion
Is anyone else looking forward to the new Atlantic City expansion? I wasn't a huge fan of the Pitt, so I'm hoping this one is more up my alley.
