Would be nice to have some sort of native crosspost function similar to Reddit's, so that threads are connected to each other rather than just reposted separately.

I've been on Pleroma for a while, @missingno

Subs that become impossible to have real discussion on because serious threads get three upvotes and buried amidst a sea of memes.

I've held off on playing P3 all these years out of the hopes they'd eventually make a proper definitive edition that will combine FES and P.

But reports I've been hearing are that this still isn't that.

Atlus...

Big kerfuffle going around is that apparently FeMC might not be in it, at least according to prior leaks that predicted this. It might not even have The Answer either, which'll mean it's missing content from both versions.

Of course it's possible that might be proven wrong, but if she's not in the trailer she's probably gone.

Articles are Lemmy/Reddit-style posts, microblogs are Mastodon/Twitter-style posts. Kbin is interesting in that it can talk to both types of networks this way.

I think how it works is that kbin is able to post microblogs to any magazine, but anything federated from other software that doesn't know what a magazine is just goes to /m/random.

I see kbin supports video upload, but with how the servers are getting hammered I thought I'd hold off on that and just link my old post. Also wanted to test if it could embed Pleroma inline, but the media preview button just shows a still image.

Make that $10 more.

I came into kbin with kinda low expectations. I fear that Reddit is too big to fail, and that if a competitor isn't already where Reddit was when Digg died it won't achieve the critical mass needed to get anywhere. My impression of Lemmy was that it's just not ready yet.

But the more I explore kbin, the more impressed I am with the software. It's still a long way to go to attract the userbase, and I still don't know if that critical mass will come, but I want to try and push for this. Let's see what happens, nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I'm intrigued by the idea of being able to talk to other Fediverse apps, but searching for my Pleroma account at @missingno to test this out turns up nothing. Is there some way to force discovery?

I'm Missingno., backline player for HarmonInk♪. I main Explosher, CJet, and Heavy Splatling. Also working on learning Ballpoint out of peer pressure, but I'm still figuring out how to accomplish anything when I pop my Inkjet. I also really like Salmon Run.

I like the idea and KBin's software looks really nice. My concern is that it just won't have the critical mass needed to get what I got out of Reddit: niche subs. On Reddit, every single game has its own individual sub and they're all active. That's not gonna work here.

I did set up !fgc and !splatoon, but I don't know if these will take off, and I'm not going to bother trying with individual fighting games or smaller indie titles.

Also, I'm intrigued that KBin is able to talk to Mastodon and Pleroma, but I can't seem to find myself. I search for @missingno but nothing shows up.

Skullgirls - Although I say SG is my main game, truthfully I haven't made as much time to grind these days as I'd like. Drowned in pools at Combo Breaker. But after 8 years I'm okay with letting this be my casual comfort game now, don't have the drive to try and catch up to the top players anymore but I still enjoy playing Quick Match from time to time.

Them's Fightin' Herds - On the other hand I have been more focused on pushing my Velvet, managed to make top 16 at Combo Breaker this year. Top 8 next year!

Splatoon 3 - I've also been getting into Splatoon competitive, bit of a change of pace for me as everything else I play is 1v1, but I'm really in love with this game. Can't say I'm as good at it as I'd like to be, but I keep practicing. (By the way, I made a Splatoon sub here if anyone's interested)

Slay the Spire - This is just an addiction. After about 800 hours of vanilla I now screw around with the silliest Workshop mod characters I can find. Makes for a good background game while watching Youtube.

Persona 5 Royal - Attempting to make time for JRPGs in between my competitive stuff is probably a mistake, but I keep trying to do it anyway. Currently on the third palace.

CrossCode is wonderful, one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

missingno, 11 months ago

Boss fights that are synchronized to the music. Not too many I can think of off the top of my head right now though. There's Violette in One Step From Eden, and I guess you can count the final stage of Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion sorta loosely did this with the final minute transition.

I'm not gone yet and I don't know if I actually will be. No matter how frustrated I am with the platform and have been for years now, I don't feel that anything else is ready to replace it.

I wish Lemmy the best but I have my doubts as to how well it'll take off. I remember when Digg died, Reddit was already popular enough to make jumping ship a no brainer for just about everyone. Lemmy is not there yet, and I don't know if it ever will be. It's much smaller than Mastodon/Fediverse, and that's been very slow to pull users away from the even more hated platform it wants to challenge. Can Lemmy achieve the critical mass it needs to succeed?

What's mainly keeping me on Reddit is certain small subs for niche hobbies. Only on the largest platforms is it possible to find people who share my microinterests. Reddit and Discord are it, and Discord really only works as an ephemeral chatroom, it's terrible for news or threaded discussion. Not to mention how much of a problem it is that Discord isn't indexed by search engines.

I really like BattleCon, a fighting game-inspired card/board game that did a really good job translating the mindgames and oki into a turn-based format. They had an online version of it but sadly halted development because they couldn't figure out how to monetize it.

I also love me some good ol' Riichi Mahjong. There's a group that brings tiles to fighting game tournaments since these are becoming cons in disguise, I got some nice hands at Combo Breaker this year.

missingno, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

I've set up https://kbin.social/m/fgc

It's probably not practical to have subs for individual games just yet though.

missingno, 11 months ago

I've gone ahead and created https://kbin.social/m/fgc and https://kbin.social/m/splatoon. Would like to have focused subs for individual fighting games (Skullgirls, ThemsFightinHerds), but that's probably not practical yet. Generally I'd just like to look up whatever game I'm playing right now and find a community for it.

Would also like to see /mahjong as well, may set that up myself later.
