Astro Bot is a full-length retail platformer as a follow up to the free Astro’s Playroom tech demo for PS5.

(Apologies for posting twice, it looked like the parent question was deleted but it must be my Lemmy app)

FWIW I have the Voyager PWA installed on my phone and despite daily messages that support ended two days ago, I can still browse Lemmy. I don’t plan on updating, in case that is what finally breaks it.

edit: as of March 22, Voyager stopped showing me content on any server with 18.x software, including my login credentials, which I can only assume means it is useless for browsing Lemmy. Edited with Memmy on iOS.

Looks like my next couple hundred Fallout hours will be in a whole new modded world. I didn’t know this existed and now I’m hyped beyond belief.

I am with you! I first dipped my toe into the EV pool in 2020 when gas was at a modern era low, so EVs weren’t exactly flying off dealer lots. I only drove my ICE to keep the gas from going bad. Ended up selling the ICE and buying a second EV with a bigger battery and longer range. I’ve taken it on four road trips since March, and people don’t know what to think when I tell them I pay less for a full charge than most people do a single gallon of gas.

I think the best way to shift the apprehension is that home charging is the future, and you really only need to worry about infrastructure when you are going out of town. It’s a lot easier to put chargers on lampposts than it is to put gas stations every few miles, but oil lobbyists are making sure everyone is absolutely terrified of electrification.

Stardew Valley is a good MP title. I have even hosted farm sessions before.

These off-season elections are still important for a variety of reasons, including those that OP posted, but also some locales have already enacted voter registration pruning policies where if you fail to participate in X elections, they can remove your active voter status. Imagine not being eligible to vote for president in 2024 because you thought the local school bond issue wasn't important this year.

Register for early mail-in voting if you are able – they send your ballot to your house, along with guidebooks for the issues on the ballot. If that is not enough (or not provided by your state), find publicly-funded or nonprofit articles on the issues, such as PBS, NPR, or Ballotpedia to give you the rundown of the legalese they sometimes use to confuse the voting public. When you have voted (read the instructions carefully, you don't want your vote thrown out because you forgot to sign the envelope, or missed a deadline), you just stick it in the provided return mailer and drop it off at any outgoing mail box, or even a ballot dropoff in some places.

Additionally, ignore those road signs you see from July to November. They are massively funded by both sides, and often reduce important issues to tiny memorable phrases and/or fear responses.

Your vote still matters, now more than ever.

  1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

  2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn't your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.

I'm not sure you're referencing the correct statistic related to the main takeaway of this article. Nissan EV owners were the second-highest group after Tesla (63.2%) to buy another EV, they were just low on model loyalty, not switching back to an ICE.

If I could go around selling random junk like burned books and toasters to every vendor in town, I would be doing a LOT better.
