Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn't properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends.
Made accounts in 278 different instances in the Fediverse after escaping Reddit, is still kind of lost. Doesn't know how hashtags work.

Yeah, honestly the only thing I'd still check regularly on Reddit is NCD. Glad we're actually making an attempt to movehere.

Ah, NOW they want to boycott the game?

Honestly, while I'm happily settled here in the "threadiverse" and all that, I've seen that the main subs I used to visit and have now reopened, are all working about the same as before the protests. They were all basically niches, so they weren't as badly affected by bot comments and the such. We will see, however, if their moderation can still keep up after the 1st tho.

if that doesn't work out, make your own kbin instance called kbird, and use it as your logo!

I cannot state a "FUCK YOU" big enough to reading those quotes from these devs. Screw all of this always online DRM bullshit. This era of gaming is irrepareably impossible to preserve for the future.

Good thing I switched to Firefox, then!

Almost exactly same situation as you. I'm mad, it hurts, I've already purged my Reddit account of all content on it, multiple times since the most recent posts kept getting restored. The account itself isn't deleted yet, I still think I'll keep coming back for some stuff that just isn't here on Lemmy or kbin yet... But as for participating in discussions and communities, I'm now 100% here.
It's just sad. I've met the majority of my current online friend group that I chat with everyday on Discord, through Reddit. I hope at some point that becomes a real possibility in the Fediverse too. That we gather enough weirdos that are way too much into niche things that you can select which of them you'd like to be friends with.

Who'da thunk a browser made around crypto shit would do such a thing. I only use this browser on my phone because of the ad blocking to open links people send me, I should just get something else. Does mobile Firefox get proper ad blocking?

And then you go into certain areas in Dark Souls or Elden Ring, and you're actually supposed to go through that. Fun times in Anor Londo.

It COMPLETELY misrepresents things. Content was removed from the game, content that was added as stretch goals on their Kickstarter many years ago. Also content from the purchased separately artbook, and story mode sequences that were central to characterization. It's not about what they changed, it's about why.

Such a shitshow. The French really can't decide if they want to commit to putting resources into F1 or not for years now.

And here we thought Ferrari was the biggest shitshow on the grid. In comes Alpine, demonstrating clearly that the only thing they are winning, is the contest for biggest clown fiesta in F1.

Funnily enough, I've met most of my current online friends on Reddit. With this whole situation happening, I was the only one out of them that got pissed off enough to actually move over to the fediverse. I know they're all good people that could engage with content, but they're not particularly interested in making the move here. I hope with some more time, this place will be more appealing as an alternative to them, and to more people like them.

It's been happening so much I think this is the first comment I try writing here in about a week. You say 20% but for me it's more like 80% chance of it happening, sometimes when the tab has been open for just a minute. I've been just using my Lemmy account much more, even if it lacks several features I like about kbin.

We're just back in the Vettel era of Red Bull. Did we get stupid articles like this when Mercedes was absolutely dominant for 7 whole years too? Or the Schumacher years? Go tell Ferrari to get their head out of their ass and make an actually good car so someone else can challenge.

I do gunpla building, and the one thing you see most builders, regardless of level, immediately want to go for, is a pair of good single-bladed nippers. Usually the holy grail are the God Hand japanese brand nippers, as they perform a very clean and close cut to remove the plastic nubs off the parts, but other less expensive options exist. Sure, there are many different ways to deal with the plastic nubs that stay when you cut off a part from the runner, but the one tool almost everyone goes for, are those nippers. Usually, to the point of keeping two pairs, one to clip parts off the runner, and one just to cut off the nubs.

Yeah, over the past couple of years, the amount of AAA games that actually enticed me were very low, and some of the few that I actually got, were actually duds in the long run. I've actually experienced a renaissance in my own enjoyment of retro gaming instead, alongside a few select indie titles. I've found I'm generally having more fun exploring games that are 10-20 years old now, than anything new. There are so many good games that I did not experience back then, that are still excellent today. Things from the arcade ere, emulation of all the consoles up to the PS2 generation, and some stuff on GoG. There are so many more good games to experience today than what new AAA releases would have you believe.

The only AAA game I am hyped about, is the new ARMORED CORE 6. I am dying to play that and it looks like it's gonna be great. FromSoftware never misses.
