That’s all true and it’s never really bothered me because, possible hot take incoming, PS exclusives are pretty milquetoast. I will concede that Sony’s first party studios have honed their ability to make “open world third person action game with crafting and stealth elements” with impressive consistency, but that’s the most common genre of AAA game and IMO Sony isn’t even making the best ones, just accessible and consistently above average ones.
If you want that kind of game you have a zillion options on every platform.
PC player complaining about the cost of a PlayStation is new to me. Isn’t it normally the other way around? Isn’t a PS5 about as expensive as a decent GPU alone?

Hey man save some memes for the rest of us
You gotta spread these out a bit, also don’t forget to stay hydrated
I love it when the "come to my free speech zone!" pitch reaches the point where a total lack of self-awareness is put on display
I really hope the mods here let you keep digging
Are you saying we’re going to adapt to service the Borg?
All night, if needed?
I'm guessing it was a different instance because we don't have any powermods. (I actually didn't realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don't think any of us are modding on other instances.
Regardless, I'll keep an eye out for anything fishy.

That's disheartening to hear. Can you share any more detail? If we've got a mod causing drama somewhere I can take it up with our admins.
And we're updated! Thank you for your advice, we really appreciate it.
Ahh, ok. That's helpful, thanks!
This is going to seem silly in the context of such a severe exploit but one quirk about our instance is that we literally do not have a "general discussion" /c/. The biggest one is scoped to Star Trek and so a Lemmy exploit is obviously outside the scope of ... Star Trek. I would wager that's the main reason the mod removed the post, but I will admit that just pointing this out, I feel like the forum mod from the short story Wikihistory.
I'm in contact with the admins who manage the hosting, they are coordinating an update 0.18.2-rc1 as we speak. Also, there's already been some discussion about setting up a general discussion /c/ on our instance and so I'll include instance security in the scope of that /c/.
You mentioned elsewhere in this thread there is a Lemmy admins Matrix room. Is my instance big enough for my admins to be invited? If yes, who can I point them at to get in?
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see.
Hi, mod of a community on the instance in question here. Why is this response harmful? What should we have done instead?
I added English as a language in !risa@startrek.website. Should work fine now!
You're not wrong, but man the Prime Directive would make a whole lot more sense if it did. The commonly misunderstood version of the PD that is intended to prevent cultural contamination is clear and simple. Given its status as the literal top rule, the actual PD—a generalized non-interventionism/pro-isolationism dictum—is oddly complex, vague, and lacking a focused objective.
This is a great list and these all look amazing. Thank you for taking the time to compile it and share!
there is literally an entire genre of subreddit dedicated to this kind of post
why are you feigning surprise about it?
I think it's broadcasting "join our webring and sign our guestbook!"
