I’d like more people to talk about many aspects mushishi since I think it should be considered an all-time classic. Sore Feet Song is one of the few that stuck with me for nearly a decade now.

Lemmy dot nsfw

Shoutout to signalis, can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find it mentioned. It’s probably the single game that had the most impact in me in the last year.

Amazing soundtrack, story, themeing, and has a lot of respect for its inspirations whilst greatly building upon them. Chopin’s prelude in d is forever etched in my mind and this is now my favorite quote:

Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.

if you don’t like mast, you wouldn’t like twitter

Well, not entirely true. I like twitter but I haven’t found the same variety of “culture” in mastodon yet. And I’m not talking about trolls or racists or whatever else twitter is known for. I follow nearly 1000 people on twitter— and few of them are “famous”—mostly because I like their art or humor or insights. Let me make it clear that I don’t have a problem with mastodon subculture; i followed many of these people as well before they moved platforms. But it’s very insular and I want to see a greater variety of posts. People posting on mastodon seem to exclusively form part of the very specific intersection in a venn diagram composed of lgbt, neurodivergent, and political activist, who fled twitter in search of a safe space at any cost (and I don’t blame them). So I find myself still opening twitter because there’s lots of gaps in my feed ranging from normie posts, memes, cynical satire, people I disagree with (yes, I wanna see those, too), lots of artists, and many figureheads from communities I’m interested on like anime and games. I feared lemmy/kbin would have a similar fate but I guess our migration happened for different reasons and I don’t feel the need to open reddit at all now because I can find/build qualitatively analogous communities here. It doesn’t depend on specific people as long as someone keeps the place alive.

The ultimate rook sacrifice…

PP on the PP means “put pressure on the pinned piece”. where did the brick joke come from

“planets orbit the sun in circles” no, they’re ellipses.

Found out about kbin from a post saying the fgc community was setting up there. I liked it but wanted to use a mobile app so made an account here and I’m liking it too so far. I learned to like the mobile browser ui for kbin as well but now I feel like both platforms can have their own place.

Not even comparable but I still think that either platform is fine (not talking about the instances per se).

I liked a feature from RiF where, with a single tap on a link, you got a pop up showing the full url with the options to share/copy/go, and arrows to select the previous or next links if applicable.
God, I will miss that app

Edit: current behavior can be kept and the suggested pop up could be implemented for long press.

building narrative worlds, creating characters, and writing stories

So only writing. Not as exciting but it would be interesting to see how they can integrate with other developers as contractors. I’m hoping that they try to tailor their stories to the gameplay at least.

A story can work separate from gameplay as seen in the talos principle but not everyone can pull it off.

Yup, that’s alpha. I love that manga, goes to show that slice of life doesn’t have to mean “nothing ever happens”.

I didn’t think too much about it. I remember mentioning general interests such as games and anime, and that I value empathy a lot.

Hold my broken hands, I’m going in!
