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.

This city doesn’t know what’s coming
She doesn’t feel the heat
This city won’t know what hit her
What knocked her out into the streets
This city’s thinking that it’s over
And she’s already fast asleep

I’m with you. The intro was pretty lackluster, the main campaign doesn’t interest me at all, and new Atlantis kinda sucks imo
Then I joined the crimson fleet and suddenly 50 hours was gone.
They’re my squishy boots
spread open your wallets
I’m dead
I leave that shit off currently.
My wife, however, thrives on it. That’s the game for her - recovering and rebuilding.
Would drive me nuts.
I’ve participated in the alpha and now the closed beta, which launched today.
The game is just a big cozy grind… an mmo stardew valley. So far it’s been super enjoyable.
Happy to answer any questions anyone has as the NDA ended officially.
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.
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.
OW2 killed what was perfect. It deserves to rot.
Saying “we’re not engaging at all” makes it clear that whether the feedback is positive, negative, seen, or not - a reaction will not be provided. This keeps the community managers from getting into the mud with the rest of the pigs and creates a bit of a barrier for audiences.
It may not seem logical but neither are the people sending death threats to game developers on Reddit. More of a psychological wall to create perceived space.
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.
Damn, tbh I didn’t realize he was still around. Back in 2008 or so, in the 360 days, he’d pop up every month or so in the Xbox dashboard and show case new games or hype up project natal or whatever. Those were magical times. o7
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.
I would actually just settle for not pre ordering AAA games as a good place to start.
