I love everything that Fedi stands for, I wouldn’t still be here if I didn’t.

But it’s hard to shake the feeling that I’m mostly posting out into the void. I’m not optimistic about Fedi’s future, I think at this rate Bluesky is going to win even though they’re clearly only paying lip service to federation. Maybe if they can demonstrate that their federation works I’d consider trying a third party server, but it’s clearly not ready yet, and leaves a sour taste in my mouth as yet another corporate thing pretending not to be.

Ever since I swore off Reddit after the API fiasco, and ever since I left the one Discord server where I used to feel like I fit in, it’s felt harder and harder to find alternative places where I can talk about my most niche interests, because nowhere else is big enough for it to be likely I’ll find anyone else who also wants to talk about those same things.

I don’t think Fedi will ever be that for me. The one thing I can say for Cohost is that at the rate it was going, I was able to find a lot more posts relating to my hobbies and fandoms, and I kinda regret that I didn’t post more and lurk less.

It just sucks to feel like there’s nowhere else on today’s dying internet to go that will suit my needs.

Damn. Hadn’t actually posted there much but I did lurk quite a bit.

Just feels like every attempt at alternative social media is dying as the internet shrinks to a few corporate websites that control everything.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Goofy clip of the week

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Friend came to visit from out of town, played some casual 3S for a little while. Also managed to rope him into trying out Waku Waku 7 and Twinkle Star Sprites as I wanted to show off some fun hidden gems in my collection.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Remember when I said I was done grinding this game mode and wouldn’t do another run?

Splatoon 3 - Haven’t touched Salmon Run since the last Big Run. Was able to put up a 154 right away, but I know that gold target isn’t actually much. Still can’t kill a damn Triumvirate.

In order to get more people on Fedi, we have to get more people on Fedi. People will go whereever everybody else already is. That’s the only thing keeping Twitter alive, even though almost everyone there will openly admit they hate it, no one will actually leave Twitter because everyone else is still on Twitter.

It’s a chicken-and-egg problem that I don’t think Fedi can actively do anything to solve. Or rather, I think it’s too late to solve. If there’s any competitor that has a chance, BlueSky has established a much bigger userbase in far less time, and that’s enough momentum to potentially get there. Anyone who’s leaving Twitter will go to BlueSky before they ever look at Fedi.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO! Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City - :(

Splatoon 3 - Heavy Edit got shot. The rest of the changes seem fine, but as always I’m just annoyed that they don’t do more.

Rollback is confirmed, but no crossplay sadly.

This just feels so late that they should’ve just waited for Switch 2. If Switch 2 is a perfect port with crossplay it would be a day 1 buy, but I don’t know if it’s worth picking this up without it.

Well put. Even if we assumed Facebook had the best of intentions - which they damn well don’t - it needs to be pointed out that other servers get defederated for far, far, far less than what they allow to happen on their platforms. Their moderation is abhorrent, which makes it outright unsafe to federate with them.

Well you should care, because Facebook is doing real harm to those people.

Even if we assumed Facebook had the best of intentions - but if you truly believe that I have a bridge to sell you - here’s another perspective to consider:

Poorly moderated servers regularly get defederated for far, far, far less than what goes on on Facebook’s platforms. Facebook not only platforms bigotry, they pretty much support and endorse it.

That really doesn’t answer my question. Why did you feel the need to click onto !nintendo@lemmy.world when you could just keep scrolling? New is going to be full of things that don’t personally appeal to you, you don’t need to go around announcing it on everything you see.

I’m seriously asking you: Why come here?

Do you talk just to annoy people then?

Buddy, I’m telling you that nobody asked. You don’t have to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to inform us all that you don’t care about Nintendo, why would you even think that necessary to tell us? Did you expect anyone to care?

switch port is downgraded to 30

it’s a fucking wii game there’s no excuse for this

seriously just give me one of the classic 2D games if you can’t get this shit right

You clicked on the thread and you typed the comment. You felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.

Can’t believe Namco actually remembered that other Tales games besides Symphonia exist.

Now give us Destiny DC + 2. Or anything else that hasn’t been released in the west for that matter, anything.

I’m not sure why you felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.

There are some old English-language resources available on the wiki. But I’ve never quite liked the way we try to teach the game by just showing pictures of an idealized chain built in a frictionless vacuum, it’s a very “draw the rest of the owl” approach. Nor do I know what a better approach looks like for a game this abstract.

At one point I was working on a video where I’d build a chain step-by-step and overexplain my thought process on each piece. But that sits on a large mountain of unfinished projects and ideas. I’m retired from the game now because, well, I can’t continue justifying my competitive energy towards a game that just has no future as long as its publisher hates it, so it’s never going to get finished.

If you want functional online, the Switch version of Puyo Puyo Champions is the only title worth bothering with. Specifically Switch, other platforms are ghost towns.

If you want singleplayer content, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, and Chronicle are all peak. None of these games were released outside of Japan and they’re older titles you’ll have to emulate, hence all my salt about the state of things today, but at least they do have fantranslation patches.
