Are we playing the "socialism and communism are different things" game today? Because that'snnever fun.
Authoritarians aren't communists. They're just appropriating the term.

I can't believe they spelled his name right for once.
Oh good! Does this mean the government's also going to protect my stock portfolio and guarantee those investments always succeed, too? Because if so, I should start having a stock portfolio!
If it's still 9 months away, there's no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch's sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it's not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn't going to spurr Switch 1 sales.
When it's announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it's outside of Nintendo, they'll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.
That's so sad. The people who have tried to move to making Pathfinder content got bludgeoned back to preaching the one true way of D&D by YouTube's recommendation engine, too, meaning that there's very little high production value PF2 content.
I can recommend Mortals & Portals, as an actual play.
And 4 first party monster books with so many dragons.
What it's really lacking is dungeons.
Creepy is almost too specific. Too harsh. It's too "out of line". People are surprisingly sensitive to that kind of thing.
But "weird"... Weird is fuzzy enough to get away with. It's non-specific. It's the sideways head-nod or glance to "creepy's" direct finger point. People know you mean they give you the "ick" when you say it, because it comes with the body language that communicates that, vs that which communicates "quirky".
"Weird and unsettling" is an accurate phrase to describe these people, and I don't see much overlap with how people talk about me at all. And they've been calling me weird for 35 years or more now.
"The government needs to stop people from doing a capitalism, but it had better not stop anyone from doing a capitalism, that would be tyranny."
"We increased supply! That makes prices go up, right?"
They try to convince us that Jeremy Renner is funny, and we fall back!
I think a significant issue here is that Reddit is not built for fostering communities, and things that mimic Reddit will not foster them, either. The whole model is built around an endless number of very large, single subject discussion spaces with functionally no globally consistent moderation or oversight.
This is a model of content categorization and filtering for individual consumption, not community building. Lemmy "communities" are just content tags, they're not real community spaces. They're never going to encourage the kind of tight knit spaces with idiosyncratic customs, rituals, and rules that actual vommunities have. They're never going to let you get to know others because "off topic" discussions are meant to be had in entirely different spaces.
Reddit and reddit-like services are about content creation and delivery, noy community. Thatms baked into the form.
"Never trust other people," they say. I'm not sure I shpypd believe them, though.
