Yeah it's going to be a process. For an example, the Gundam and Gunpla communities are relatively niche compared to other anime or model kit building (which are already niche things in of themselves) and while their subreddits are quite active, we still don't have that critical mass (or much mass at all) of posts and content to engage with here. I have been meaning to, and plan on, making more posts to those so they get more activity.

I see other posts here. Maybe it finally updated? Or are your language settings incorrect?

Well, that was a long wait for the inevitable Max pole position. Even when trying to be conservative with the T9 track limits, he was still clear ahead of Charles that was pushing extra hard there. Speaking of those track limits, my impression is that the Red Bull Ring kerbs were designed with the track limits in mind that if you're on the red/white you're still in, and not specifically the white line. Oh well, they're the best drivers in the world, they can figure it out. Not like me fucking around in Assetto Corsa, 4 seconds off the pace.

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.

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.

Daily Megumin posts. Now THIS is content that makes joining the Fediverse worth it.

Based beyond belief.

Yeah, good that you guys are making such lists. It took me a few days to truly understand the "threadiverse" but now, as in right now, I am stumped trying to understand how does everyone integrate with Mastodon (which I understand to be not-Twitter) and then what do all of the other platforms even do! What is Misskey and how is it different from Calckey or Akkoma or Friendica.... And how do they interact between each other. I am very confused but also very excited.

It took me a couple days of reading and browsing around and creating accounts to figure out the fediverse and Lemmy and kbin. Until it actually clicked in my head that I was in one instance, seeing content posted in a community of another instance, commented on by users of even other instances, and how it worked between all that. I wanted to actually understand the mechanism, to better navigate it. Now, it all seems simple to me, but it was all very new for about a week. Also, the connection and federation errors that were happening a lot added to the confusion to a lot of people, I feel.

I am now very excited about the potential of all this. Decentralized networks rock.

Now, I think a random user could just show up and make an account and start enjoying it quickly, just would take some time to find the communities they want content from.

Yup, can confirm the same on PC Firefox. Ernest is probably working on it. He also probably needs help.

Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...

Cool, now make a d3

Ah yes, cause the problem by promoting SEO websites with machine generated content, then sell the solution! Splendid!

Honestly I never even knew people didn't like this term, wtf. It properly conveys the idea of an old-fashioned FPS game, with basic 3D graphics, many times based on 2D sprites. Me and all my friends play them, and we love them, and we all call it "Boomer Shooter".

How's the dpad and sticks on that thing, and how does it handle arcade and Saturn emulation? Those are kinds of games I'd really like to have in a handheld with this thing.

Varyag, 10 months ago

I already have a few accounts on different Lemmy instances but you might have a point there. I'll see about other kbin instances, although this one is already cozy for me. Hopefully won't run into federation issues when going to another one like this very one had in the week of the Rexxit.

You should try out Omega Strikers! It's free to play, but it's done right imo. Very fun game of ball, 3v3 air hockey with anime characters. I'm usually super averse to PvP games and ranked modes, but even I'm trying to climb the ranked ladder in this one, it's so much fun.

Now I have! And they're very cute on her!

Varyag, 11 months ago

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

I'm amazed nobody mentioned the Fire Emblem games yet! (that I've seen, this thread has 6 pages on kbin)
Both Fire Emblem 7 and Sacred Stones are amazing, and probably still my favorites of the franchise.

Tbh even in the simracing subreddits it was hard to get racing lobbies going on. Usually had better luck looking in discord servers and scheduled events.
Now if anyone got a group that is focused on racing on AMS2 please let me know. I never found one.

Varyag, 10 months ago

Ah finally a simracing magazine! None of the others I found over at Lemmy had much activity, let's hope we can get this one going!

And that it doesn't turn into the same "hey guys look at my rig" spam that simracing subreddit was.
