I love Next Fest, I usually end up wishlisting like 3-10 games. Lots of good stuff that I’d never know or care about otherwise.

The dialogue in Oxenfree is crazy, never seen anything else like that.

Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like “you’re*”

Slipways. Very well made space puzzle game. This game really surprised me.

Also, hidden gems thread… feels just like home :)

RIP RIF. I’m another one who used it 99% of the time. I’m glad I found kbin and I’m mostly over reddit, but I’m not over RIF. Thank you for all those years. Fuck you u/spez for destroying the site I’ve been a part of for almost 10 years… in a single week.

I say let’s not even give them a chance. We owe them nothing.

Maybe it’s silly, but i love that I haven’t seen a single one-word reply such as “*their”.

EDIT: omg, what about those infinite threads of “this” or forced puns? Haven’t seen those either (and I love bad puns, but those usually contributed very little)

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by personal instance? Only you use it? I’m wondering what reasons someone would have a personal instance. Or maybe like a group for friends only?

Scunthorpe problem, if anyone else is wondering.

I just realized that it’s hard to imagine someone saying you should speak English because lemmy/kbin is an amaerican website. I’m sure we’ve all seen that more than once on reddit.

Woah, octothorpe is so much cooler.

Yep! Kinda surreal to see that something like this is even possible since it seems like a contradiction.

Yeah, that’s why I struggle to enjoy games like Civilization. I feel like one bad move on turn 5 may mean defeat, but I’ll only find out on move 100.

I’ll check it out!

EDIT: Looks really interesting, actually!

I’ve played the demo before, really enjoyed it!

Oh, thanks for bringing this to my attention! My problem with city building games is usually just that, too stressful. I don’t mind being attacked every once in a while, for example, but if being slightly unprepared to deal with an attack means total failure, then I tend to go play something else…

Exactly. On reddit I’d probably type out this comment, see that the post is X hours old or see that there are already 5000 replies and think “meh, no one will see this anyway. Best case scenario I get an upvote or two”. But here I feel like I’m part of a conversation and actually contributing something.

I wonder if anyone at reddit is starting to think “wait… maybe the community IS important?” Nah, probably not.

Dammit. What I did was:

Instead, try going https://lemmy.world/search and entering the full URL for the community ( https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming ). It’ll spin for a little longer than usual but it should show up in the search results.

I tried the equivalent at sh.itjust.works but I only find comments. On lemmy.world the link for the community was on the second page, but on sh.itjust.works there’s nothing on the second page (which is weird since there is a next button that takes me to “no results”). Hmm. Does you instance have a support thread where someone might be having similar issues?

Yes! Awesome, nice to have you :)
