There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don’t even have rules or a description)....
I have made an attempt at populating them, they’re not necessarily empty. There are reasons to scroll past entries other than content, i.e. the instance they’re on. Plenty of people ignore certain domains altogether.
I've made a few magazines on kbin to protect from being taken by worse people than myself... I've also added a note in the sidebar/info that I have no intention of remaining moderator, and anyone who wants to take over (preferably with roots in the community elsewhere) can message me.
The primary thing with r/pics and its users is that they are creating/posting SFW quality content for free. They are an established platform with an audience, and the tradeoff is that the platform can be used for ads by its owner. This is all fair.
The main outrage against the blackout is now coming from people who usually scroll, upvote, and consume content. Not content creators. They cannot fathom that their source of entertainment is inaccessible and just want people to stop 'overreacting' and get back to scrolling.
What happens when the platform is no longer reliable, because the owner decided to upset the people making sure the quality remains as established? Sure, someone else will fill the gap, but with these actions I'm sure a lot content creators have flocked to other places. Which leaves the bots, and the lurkers. No content is worse than low quality content.
I'm curious for what the future brings for Reddit. It feels like it will have a different trajectory compared to Twitter, where anything is content and quality doesn't matter as much.
Super Mario RPG is releasing for Nintendo Switch on November 17, 2023! Looks like a full remake in 3d with an updated soundtrack. Though the original still ages well and looks great when played on modern emulation, I'm excited to see this as a full remake!
I’m cautious, the remakes have been hit or miss. Zelda Link’s Awakening was well done but the frame rate was inexcusable. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was a letdown… if anything we got the old one to emulate.
I didn’t necessarily mean a direct comparison, but more the theming and the exploration / world building and storytelling. It’s far more rewarding than dodging boss attacks and whittling health down, like in fromsoft games.
Yes, but also no. I’ve also seen it compared to dragon age inquisition too. You’re the chosen one, but you suck.
There is no ‘git gud’ of reading boss animations, for example. The sword and sorcery theming does fit the dark souls theme, and exploration is rewarded. It’s on sale on Playstation at the moment, I got it for 5 euros.
As a 'moderate' fan of tactical jrpgs the Disgaea series has always both intrigued and scared me at the same time. Intrigued because of the grind, as you can famously get up to level 9999 (many would say it's a bad thing but I'm weird so I like it), and scared because of how complicated it looked as an outsider to the series....
I adore Disgaea. I played it on a hacked psp back in the day, and just fell in love with its style and charm. I got it on pc legitimately some years ago, and then got the ps4 hd version to play on the sofa. While the grind is not for everyone, it’s an amazing journey for those who enjoy tactical games (that don’t take themselves too seriously).
I haven’t started its sequels, but I want to finish this hd version first. Until then, they’ll be looking at me from the ps plus catalogue.

Pick one thing and forget the rest for the time being
This helped me out a lot. As I wrote before: I wanted to create low poly models. Not having much success with that, I ended up trying sculpting and loving it. Now I have my own MyMiniFactory store and patreon.
My cooking doesn't look bad... But it will never live up to the food presentation I have experienced when visiting Japan. Everything just looks SO delicious.
This might have been one of my favourite models to paint. I'm a huge fan of the Labyrinth already but getting to paint this for someone I care about makes it really special. I'm quite proud of how his face has turned out.
I had a few hangover days, so I finally got back to #miniaturepainting and finished a few projects. First up a #warhammer40k predator tank, that I desperately needed to get done for some scheduled matches (and he did good in all 3 games, no new model syndrome!).
Next up: Some new darksouls x turnip brutes.
