thanks for the fuck shack

-dirty Mike and the boys

Mine is 7 months old now. I felt the same. Just wait, you’ll likely feel that it was the best thing you ever did. Your kid may be the one to drive some positive change. Just do the best you can and give yourself some grace.

What a fucking badass.

I don’t think the world is ready for Bethesda Seinfeld RPG. But I am.

I actually played through it last month and it blew me away. I cannot wait to do a second play through when phantom liberty comes out! It was so so good.

Brink… Sigh. I remember that trailer coming out and I watched it like every day for years waiting for it to come. I watched every dev vlog, read every update. For years I was hyped on that. At time of release my buddy and I took the week off of work. We played it for like 3 hours one night and finished it. I remember thinking “there must be a mistake. This can’t be it. This isn’t the game I’ve been dreaming about.” I never booted it up again after that first night.

Brink was my CP2077.

They’re my squishy boots

You spelled contract wrong four times in that comment.

I’ll share my experience. I love oblivion, skyrim, and enjoyed d4. I’ve never played DnD or a Baldurs Gate game.

I am so stoked that BG3 is getting the recognition for all they’ve done in putting the gamer experience above all else. Seeing the passion and love they put in and gamers are then experiencing is incredible.

I have also realized the game is not for me. There’s too much detail. I don’t enjoy controlling a whole party of characters. I may not just be smart enough for all the shit that’s in this. I am also a new dad so I just don’t have the time or brain power to learn and I feel like it’s a big learning curve.

Maybe one day I’ll come back to it and feel differently, but I’m also okay watching everyone else enjoy it while I play something else in the limited time I have.

Yes, I have had ongoing issues with friends on lemm.ee accessing my magazines on kbin.social, despite being federated. That problem has persisted for about a month.

I guess even the things that seem to work properly have kinks to iron out.

But that’s the whole point of the post. I’m missing posts/threads from users. It’s so much more than just subscriber count unfortunately. Votes were off as well from kbin vs Lemmy (Lemmy seems to auto upvote your own post, kbin doesn’t - which could explain some variance) but haven’t checked comments.

Respectfully, that doesn’t have anything to do with what is happening here.

Why is it that when I go to a Lemmy community from kbin I see three posts by user123 in the last 24 hours, but when I go from Lemmy I see user123 has made 12 posts in the last 24 hours?

Something is not working as intended.

Thank you! I’d boost your comment but I get an error message each time I try

It’s happened to several, but yeah, alternativenation was the one that set me off lol. I saw so many posts about so many great artists when I viewed from Lemmy! I was so bummed seeing everything I missed and didn’t even realize I was missing it!

I have also wondered about search functionality. I have a magazine that is music focused but doesn’t have the word music in it. However, with Kbin, I’m not aware (please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I can be a blundering idiot with technology) of a way to tag or add key search words for my magazine. So if you search for Music it will not show up. I assume Lemmy has something like that which is why something like the Punk community returns from a “music” search.

Very well said. Great call out.

Nice! Thanks for the info :)

You calling me Ayn Rand for saying that we should not hand over all power to a single corporation and then in the same breath also suggesting conglomerating all instances into one is… a bit absurd in my opinion. I am also going to choose to overlook you trying to link having the option to click ‘subscribe’ three times to the plight of Ukrainian refugees.

I do apologize if it seems I’m “mocking” anyone. Clearly that is not my intention - especially on ‘No Stupid Questions’. Try not to become so defensive here, we’re just having a conversation.

You asked and I shared my response.

Best of luck.

This is how the world works. On Reddit there were multiple subs that covered the same topics, but the mods developed different cultures and vibes through moderation tactics and sub policies.

If you want a car, there are different companies who all provide one but with different options. Same goes for ISPs, TV networks, restaurants, and schools.

It isn’t at all a new concept and I’m not sure why people coming from reddit continue to get stuck on it. Subscribe to them all and as they mature unsub from the ones that develop into something you don’t feel like you need.

Posting to all of them will be easier when cross posting is possible on Kbin (it is already possible on Lemmy) but developments like that often take time.

Adding an edit as I’ve thought a bit more: I think it’s important, for those coming from reddit, to truly understand why the Fediverse exists. The intention is to be open source. To ensure that there is no single source of power. There are ‘unlimited’ options (instances, magazines, etc.) to ensure that it cannot be swayed, corrupted.

This is why people are coming from Reddit - you are seeing what happens when one corporation has the power and sets the terms.

I think it’s lovely to dip your toes here, ask questions, and see if you’d like to stick around. But please do understand the intention is not to be Reddit 2.0. We should not try to turn it into that.

Try that

It should be https://[your instance]/c/[kbin magazine name]@[kbin instance]

Do note that if you are the first person on your instance to try this, the URL will fail, and you will have to try again a bit later once your instance has had some time to make a copy of the magazine. Also, if you see a “Pending Subscription” message, in my experience, that does not resolve itself, and you will just need to try again a bit later and it will go through instantly.

It’s really incredible that we’ve reached a point in society where all problems have been solved and we have the space, time, and energy to focus on things like this. Really proud of our older generations and their focus on priorities.
