This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

This is awesome. Looks like a painting

Asking the real questions

For Wumbo?

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

This game really was a lot of fun. Honestly wasn’t ever expecting to read about it again lmao

I have been having a ton of fun playing Everspace 2. I’ve also been jumping between that, Freelancer, and Endless Sky. On a bit of a space game kick. Definitely recommend all 3!!

Been playing the beta version with controller support for a few weeks and it’s pretty good! I had a better control scheme already working using the deck controls, but this is really good for being able to just pick up and play the game on deck!

I use a hybrid. If I’m typing with both hands, and I need to be speedy I’ll typically use regular typing, but if I’m just causally typing stuff out or only have one hand I’ll use swipe. I like having the option

I’ve always been more of a lurker unless I’ve specifically got something to add. I still think usually there’s not a lot to say, even here, but I have found a fair number of conversations and communities to comment in here. I think it’s a healthy balance

It’s been said, but deserves another stating: MegaMan Legends 3

This is especially relevant for things like lightbulbs, cell phones, cars, etc, which are constructed in such a way that they will only last a certain amount of time, because the other alternative would be a product that never failed, and therefore only needed to be purchased once. True technological advancement would be the perfection of technology, but capitalism would never allow that because it wouldn’t be profitable in the long term

When you live in a place where they are legal (or near a place where they are) they tend to go for a bit. Our nextdoor neighbors were shooting off some big ones.

This week has been both the week we moved into our new apartment, and also the week our country celebrates by blowing shit up for 6+ nights straight. Our dogs are deathly afraid of fireworks. Last night I had to run my wife to the ER, which is literally 2 minutes away, and in that time our dogs destroyed the front door frame of our new apartment.

Our landlord, who we’ve only met once, just got back from vacation. Can’t wait to tell them how our dogs are destroying their house.

That’s exactly how I feel about it. This is literally the best quality this card will ever be in. There is no comparison

Does the fediverse need to consume all of the traffic that’s currently directed at other platforms? I think the best thing about the Fediverse is that it provides more options for online social spaces.

If I don’t like Twitter I can try something else. If I don’t like Reddit I can go elsewhere. It doesn’t have to be the exact same thing as those services, as long as it provides me an enjoyable way to consume information in my free time.

I don’t feel like the goal is to absorb all of the traffic from every other site though? Or if it is that seems misguided.

I’m very much enjoying my time on Kbin, even if it is janky and new and imperfect. All of that is actually kind of refreshing

Is there any federated interaction between BookWyrm and Kbin? Can I follow book or author updates or keep up with reviews or conversation?
