So it becomes a video, to add the time dimension making it 4D?

Surprised it’s not more tbh. As a PC gamer, can someone explain what benefits are there to buying physical games? The only one I can think of is saving storage space on your console, but the disadvantages paying extra for shipping/waiting for shipping outweigh that for me. Or is it just people who collect physical games or buy them as presents?

• In case you haven’t heard about it yet, VLC is both a media player and a video re-encoder in one app. Basically essential for Macs.
• Homebrew is a terminal utility that allows you to download many apps that otherwise have difficult setup processes.
• Speaking of things that can be installed through homebrew, Wineskin Winery is a tool that allows you to run Windows apps on a Mac. Very very janky at times and requires hours of googling and digging through stuff sometimes, but runs amazingly once you do that.
• Ryujinx is a Nintendo Switch emulator available on Mac. Not too good for games like BoTW or ToTK, but runs basic visual novels just fine. Oh and if you don’t have a Switch already be willing to do some sailing on the high seas.

• Roland: Few things are as dangerous and nasty as selfishness in the guise of ‘for the sake of someone else’…
• Angela: I think I know what you mean. The determination to work for the good of others can be a dreadful and loathsome weapon. They’re blinded by self-righteousness, and have no regards for their surroundings. They don’t care what happens to others. They justify themselves for pressing forward pursuing their justice, crushing everything in their way…

From Library of Ruina. The song “And Then Is Heard No More” from the OST touches on similar themes, go look up the lyrics if you’re intrigued

I agree with you on Demon Slayer having a lot of these moments, but Mugen Train specifically is the worst example you could give. They’re meant to be hints that it’s happening inside Rengoku’s dream.

Check out stuff by studio orange, they make insanely good 3D animation. I can vouch for Land of the Lustrous personally, but heard good things about Trigun Stampede and Beastars as well.

Kill La Kill

Idk, I feel like Mako’s monologues are exactly the type of thing OP was complaining about

Wikis don’t really need too much SEO though. If there’s one good wiki, chances are it’ll pop up on the first page somewhere when you google “minecraft [game-specific term]”. And from then on you know to use that wiki, and just go directly to their website instead of googling.

Terraria’s wiki has been running independently of Famdom for a while now, so has Paradox’s, Guild Wars 2’s, etc etc.

You say that as if there’s a serious chance he’ll lose.

I respectfully disagree. Downvotes add a way of gauging the percent of people who support/don’t support a comment. Let’s say I’m asking for advice about which product to buy. With an upvotes-only system the upvote count is biased towards the earliest comment, whereas with an up/down vote system, the ratio helps you detect comments with heavy bias or blatantly wrong facts. So an upvote/downvote system makes it easier to tell the credibility of a comment, basically allowing you to indirectly gauge the opinion of the community rather than the one person who commented.

If I can still access all of that content from kbin or lemmy, what’s the problem? I get their content, but they can’t serve me ads, change kbin’s feed algorithm, or have control over anything outside their one instance.

Wrong person haha, I think you meant @wit :)

Ok I just realized that @ tags don’t display the user’s instance unless you click on them and that’s super confusing, why in the world did they design it like that

Still haven’t gotten around to playing anything that released this year, but I’m sure Atelier Ryza 3 is great and I’m looking foward to playing it. Just need to play the 2nd game first.

Weird, it doesn’t work for me for some reason, I have to manually go into the “subscribed” tab each time. Also my point about not being able to subscribe to entire instances still stands. For instance(heh) bookwormstory.social is an instance dedicated to discussing a specific book series and currently has like 5 communities, and I’d have no way of knowing when they started a new community unless I manually checked.

Interesting that everyone here wants to operate their feed on a blacklist basis. Personally I’d love the opposite, to be able to subscribe to instances or specific communities and only get content from those. The main reason I used Reddit over anything else is because it only showed you posts from subs you subscribed to.

Not to be confused with kerbonauts from KSP ;)
(there’s a pun to be made here about the planet Kerbin but I can’t think of a good one)

I’m not using beehaw and probably never will. I don’t want to be in a “safe space” as they put it. That said, I totally understand that some people want that sort of community, it’s their decision, and thanks to federation anyone who disagrees can just leave. If you’re complaining about them defederating from you - you’re probably part of the reason they did.

That said, it would be really helpful to have some sort of icon next to posts/comments that are defederated from your instance, just so you don’t waste your time responding to them when they can’t see it.

Greetings fellow Worldhopper, can I offer you a motivational story in this trying time?

“The website is temporarily down.” ironic lol
