Makes me wonder if a fork will happen in the future. Wonder if offerings will be much different a year from now, and if options like kbin will be more polished by then.

They chose to financially put themselves in a situation where they are forced to release content at that frequency because they chose to expand operations and drastically increase expenses compared to other channels. It's their decisions that created the work cycle that is needed in pursuit of exponential growth over a more financially sustainable model that affords the luxury for a less hectic release schedule.

It's getting old seeing people keep making they have to do it this way when it is the situation they created for themselves.

Monetizing an apology video of all things says it all.

He's another tech bro. Wan show always seemed more like a soap box for him to try to make him seem like an aww shucks type of guy, but there was the whole discussing wages issue at LTT too that broke the illusion of the image he tries to depict of himself.

I think people who visit here have been pretty cool. Not any worse or inferior to people with accounts here.

I didn't know something like that was going on. Logo would be cool.

Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean it's automatically a circle jerk. People do have valid reasons for not choosing to spend money on the epic platform.

I wonder how many people on the receiving end even change their mind. I feel like if anything they'd completely reject the cause that is trying to be pushed, and the end result is a circle jerk between people who were already in agreement.

It depends on what the goal of the protest is and an assessment of whether the act is going to actually be successful in bringing about the change they want.

If that isn't taken into account it'll just make people more ingrained in their beliefs, and possibly increase hatred towards the groups and the cause overall. Which can just lead to increased conflict and increase extremists on both spectrums.

Sometimes then the cause just devolves into people on both sides just reveling in getting to act out their primal desires.

The adapation of the manga art is looking really good with the approach they are taking.

Never got around to it because of the travel required. Maybe some day but have settled for seeing some videos instead.

[–] GhostMagician 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Never been to one but would like to check one out some day.

 

I read Better Then on a recommendation and really enjoyed it. Now I want to read more.

 

For anime there's not really activity for episode or Manga chapter discussions, and found that the My Anime List forums ended up filling that void. https://myanimelist.net/forum/

For buildapc checked out pcpartpicker and found they had a forum with people to help and being pcpartpicker the layout of parts is really nice when people suggest them to you https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/forum/27-create-a-part-list-for-me/

For more casual stuff like pics and memes found squabbles has pretty good activity https://squabbles.io/

For NBA stuff found realgm forums with lot more activity for individual team boards https://forums.realgm.com/boards/

For video game deals found this forum https://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/10-video-game-deals/

It was nice that forums are still alive once I finally tried to seek out communities outside of reddit after all these years

 

It's inconvenient to have to hop between different instances to see what is going on, and it would be nice to just be able to aggregate it all in someway like the equivalent of multisubreddits in events where defed happens.

One hypothetical being

lemmy/c/PatientGamers@sh.itjust.works+technology@beehaw.org+Futurama @lemmy.world+Android@lemmy.world+RetroGaming@lemmy.world+PC Gaming@lemmy.ca+Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film/.rss

Being able to customize the feed you see regardless of where you are signed in or not signed in would make it so much easier to juggle different accounts depending on the policies of each, and stay connected with the communities you want. Would also make it easier for instances to be able to defed without worrying as much on impact on users to create the space they want.

 

Last time I modded Skyrim was on the original one with mod organizer and using the STEP site as a guide.

How much has changed since then? Is STEP still a good resource to get started and is mod organizer 2 still a good go to?

 

Sometimes reason I block communities isn't because I don't want to see them, but because I don't want some cluttering the feed when I'm viewing posts through All due to using it to discover new communities.

There's not tools like Reddit Enhancement Suite yet, so having to rely on the built in settings for now.

 

For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
