I would suggest looking at other Kbin instances outside of kbin.social. or look to mbin, which is a fork that in told is more stable. I also haven’t made the jump from Kbin, but have been having similar issues with usability with it for awhile.

That’s not-

Wait a minute. Ha, you almost had me, you sly dog.

Some might put adds in front or at the end of videos. I’m sure the “viewer counts” also help them negotiate rates for adds on the page itself.

He’s talking about Zaheer and the Red Lotus. They were extremely well intentioned, but set about their goals with violence.

I’ll never stop complaining that in the second movie Dooku tells Obi-Wan that the Separatists are the good guys and that there’s a sith influencing the Senate. Which would have been a cool reveal for the audience, that we’re rooting for the bad guys.

But then Dooku is also a sith anyway. What a wasted opportunity.

Yeah, everyday I fear it’ll get taken down. I’m seriously unsure how it’s lasted this long. I hope it stays up forever though.

I find it interesting, especially for games from smaller teams. But I suppose that don’t really add anything to the larger conversation. I just find it interesting to hear how some of these games are doing.

I hope they continue to release AA titles though, like Star Ocean and Harvestella. They actually released a ton of games over 2022/2023, but at some point I think they were competing with themselves.

I’m reading The Golden Compass for the first time. I’m enjoying it, but I’ve been going through it slower than other books, and I’m not sure why. After I finish it I might go back and re-read a Terry Pratchett book.

It doesn’t, but most game sales are front loaded at release. Having 8 months on the shelf still makes a difference, for sure, but it’s still notable that it was number 1.

Serious question, how often have you rewatched the prequel trilogy? Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, but at least it can be entertaining. The prequels can be so boring.

Episode 9 is also pretty bad, from an editing perspective. Everything just moved too fast, and nothing felt like it had proper buildup.

Everyone is quoting the sequels, but don’t forget the prequels. Between those and the sequels, there’s a solid 4 movies out of 9 that I’d say are bad, maybe 3 if you’re generous.

The games and from what I understand the books can be pretty good though.

Correct. When I found out it wasn’t going to be on steam, I figured I’d get a physical copy for the PS5 instead. Found out that wasn’t all option either…

I recently beat the PC port of Chrono Trigger, which was my first time beating it. It held up better than I expected.

Currently I’m switching off between Megaman Battle Network 2, Half Life, and Lost Odyssey. It’s my first time playing Lost Odyssey and I’m a little surprised how much I’m enjoying it. It helps that the localization has been really good so far.

Sounds good! Not a big priority, I just think it would be nice since kbin has access to both. Like others have said here, I appreciate the work you’re doing!

It definitely feels like the kbin hosted magazines that have overlap with Lemmy magazines are struggling to get attention/engagement. I think part of it is just that so many people are over there and don’t look at federated content, so more kbin users don’t bother with contributing to our own magazines.

I’m not sure what the answer is to fix that, or if it’s even something that needs to be fixed since we federation we’re still receiving and engaging in content. Would love to see more activity on our home turf though.

Is there a way you’re able to see both threads and microblogs, or do you just have to switch between the two?

The development time on that game was also super rushed, compared to what the game needed. That’s why you don’t recruit any of the ME2 companions to be in your squad (since they could all die) and why so many decisions from earlier games didn’t really pan out if you had a save where the decisions didn’t match what Bioware was able to plan for/had time to develop. I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if they barely even got the ending they had finished in time to ship.

I thought Amy Hennig worked on Legacy of Kain, which did come out on PC.
