Which version of FF7 are you referring to? And also which version of Link?

Either way, probably depends on who the writers want to win lol.

Get well soon!

Personally I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt more like a “slice of fantasy world life”. Elaina doesn’t really play the hero too much, and there aren’t any big overarching plots that stretch over multiple episodes. It’s really inspiring and interesting from a fantasy perspective, but as you already pointed out, sometimes there are things in the worldbuilding that could bother one.

If you want a cozy magic anime, might I suggest Little Witch Academia?
It also has a fair amount of action/adventure, but it doesn’t deal with any heavy topics IIRC.

Yo, that is so good to know!
Wish there was a link to some quick stylesheet guide that kbin supports when you write a comment. Haven’t seen this feature before.

Time to dig out the sonic shitposts.

You know what, that’s fair.

I saw a lot of discussion in the comments about their workers pay, but honestly, they make a great product. Wouldn’t wanna be counting pennies in someone elses pockets. I donated a one time 25 bucks, I hope they will continue to ask for donations whenever they are in dire need of server running money.

Jesus. Is there no vegitation around the sidewalk to spend at least a little shade? :(

Hab gelacht. Scham.

“Legal” doesn’t immediately mean “moral”. Everything is legal as long as there isn’t a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You’re forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore…

My best guess is Katamari Damacy.
You start out as a small ball that rolls around and smaller than you things you touch stick to you, making you grow.
Eventually you start ripping out entire islands from the sea.

Wouldn’t be surprised if mod tools never come at all.
If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that gaming companies will promise you anything to get on your good side. Take statements like these with the biggest grain of salt.

This game is probably the reason I never got into TMNT. Super unforgiving lifr system which throws you back at the start of the game, and very wonky hitboxes

Alternatively, upvote/boost your own posts by default when posting.

I’ve struggled with this question before myself. On the one hand, there is a notable impact in visibility on posts which I’ve self-upvoted versus posts which I did not self-upvote, so it does feel like an unfair advantage. On the other hand, I am also a community member in the community I post. I wouldn’t post something, if I didn’t think it contributes to the overall community. Plus, there’s a bug in kbin going on, that new posts only show up in new but not in hot at all, until there is at least some sort of interaction (a comment, or an upvote, or a boost).

They can control your watch time better if you make less decisions. Just be a good little brainless consumer and scroll through endless amounts of bullshit instead of specifically finding one video, then doing something else.

It started with autoplay, wormed it’s way into search feature, and now it’s all over home and subscriptions.

Man, that video was so good.
Several parts had me dying. The way he described “Protocol: Rain” was so goddamn funny, because the show takes itself really serious in the dumb way where you just think “Dude, you’re just playing a video game.” At one point, the protagonist genuinely says, he has never “truly stopped” playing the game, he always played it “in his head” and that’s why he’s not rusty…

“If you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn’t yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time,” Simmons warns. “One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal.”

Holy shit this guy is amazing.

I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.

Here’s a fun suggestion, how about you unlock the desired players by playing the game? Could even put it into an immersive context, you beat brazil and subsequently unlock their players for your team.

What’s so fun about buying a chance to get your player? Is it possibly the shiny colors and the happy soundeffects that are specifically designed to make your brain addicted?

This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

Anon can’t even win in his creative writing exercises. Wild world.
