  • Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I’ve been checking to see if it’d go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I’m guessing it isn’t likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven’t wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs













  • If you can give me any more details, let me know. Looking at your instance, I only see two communities from lemmy.today, and one looks like it was deleted, so should only be their announcements one. Is the one you’re having trouble interacting with the potentially deleted one?

    Or do you mean users rather than communities? If you’re trying to report threads or comments, are they potentially already removed from blahaj and then it won’t let you interact with them?

    To sum up some things about cross instance interaction as of this date:

    • reports do propagate to lemmy
    • moderator actions do not propagate back
    • direct messages don’t work cross instance

  • To clarify, Mbin reports do make it to lemmy as of this PR, but lemmy moderator actions taken, such as removing comments, does not then make it back to Mbin. Not exactly the most clear situation to be in right now, but it’s been iterative process to get all the systems correctly hooked up to the fediverse.

    My post didn’t make it to blahaj or fedia 🤔 that’s not good… the other one after did, though




  • I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn’t quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.


  • I always think about the post I saw a while back that was like “I use KeepassXC, a fork of KeepassX, a port of Keepass”. That seems very likely to be true in regards to the fediverse as well.

    But I think that’s great, as a contributor to one platform I don’t necessarily see it as “one software above all”, which might be bad to say, but more like we’re all sailing on the much larger ship Fediverse, and it’s been great to see so much back and forth between the different ones, for example one person helping get pixelfed’s avatars federating, or piefed’s blogs, which helped reduce page load sizes for mbin by 40%. It’s quite possible we’re all just slowly contributing to a lot of learned lessons for a yet unstarted software.

    All that said, mastodon does have a ton of staying power, as you said. Once they fully support groups, and lemmy has stated they never plan to support microblogs, it’s quite possible that mastodon will be a very solid experience for most of what people are looking for.
