Can Cloud Strife (FF7) beat Link (Zelda)?
  • 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.

  • RE: Is Ernest still here?
  • Get well soon!

  • Should I be curious about Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro?
  • Entirely depends on what you're looking for in an anime and manga. It's full of hornybait and fanservice, but also does manage to tell a romantic high school story about how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and how you gotta keep striving to be your best self while also staying true to your feelings.

    It's genuinely wholesome, but also targeted more towards guys. If you're put off by that description, avoid it. If it sounds like your cup of tea, go for it.

  • Solo Leveling - Episode 5 discussion
  • Honestly, pretty decent adaptation so far.
    I like the VA for Sung Jinwoo. He's definitely doing a banger job.

    But I do miss some of the more intricate page-spanning artworks where you had to scroll from left to right to even get the full picture of what's going on. I guess that is just very hard to adapt to an animated format.

  • Solo Leveling S1E1 Discussion
  • Okay, so far not bad.
    I like that they don't rush things, but I haven't really felt blown away either.
    The manhwa managed to really incorporate the amazing art on these beautiful colored pages with big impressive moments, but that's not the vibe I am getting from the anime yet. Hoping for episode 2 to do "the grin" justice.

  • Anyone seen ‘’Elaina the wandering witch’’?
  • 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.

  • [BotW] Having a hard time getting started.
  • Have you already found out what Koroks are and what they do?
    They are hidden throughout the world and are important, and help alleviate the stress a bit when a sword/shield breaks.
    There is a character on the road to kakariko, between Twin Peak Stables and Kakariko. Keep an eye out for them.

  • Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
  • 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.

  • JPEG
  • Time to dig out the sonic shitposts.

  • Running Signal Will Soon Cost $50 Million a Year
  • 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.

  • Troll post or shill, same account recently asked "why do people dislike google, they're only doing legal data saving for stuff you search" and then ignored every bit of legitimate croticism that was handed to them.

    Makes no sense to interact with such an account.

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

  • "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...

  • GTA 6 Announcement Is Reportedly Happening As Early As This Week, With A Trailer Release Following
  • Today is Wednesday, the 8th of November. This is GameSpot, bringing you your daily GTA6 News. There has been no news to report today. This has been your daily GTA6 News.

  • Anon doesn't measure up
  • 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.

  • Starfield group fixing Bethesda's bugs say their job is tough as mods feel an afterthought
  • 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

  • Request: Remove ability to 'boost' your own comments and threads
  • 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).

  • YouTube is testing a mystery button that starts playing random videos
  • 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.

    The Amazing Digital Circus is a psychological dark comedy about cute cartoon characters who hate their lives and want to leave!

    What do you think about upvoting/boosting your own post?

    For clarification, I am not talking about using multiple accounts. I am talking about using a single account, and giving your own post a single upvote.

    So, I have been doing daily posts of some anime fanart for a while now and noticed something.

    If you post something, unlike on reddit, kbin does not initially upvote your own post. This lead me to an interesting (albeit old) discovery. If you upvote your own post directly after posting, it gains more visibility and reaches a higher number of upvotes on average. Posts that I did not give the initial upvote consistently gained less visibility and a lower number of upvotes.

    Admittedly, this is not news, same principle was true on reddit as well, the initial impression in roughly the first hour of a post dictates most of its visibility for its lifetime. However, upvoting your own post does have a bit of an odd feeling. I like the content I post and am glad when people see it, so I upvote it most of the time, however, doesn't it hold an unfair advantage over people who don't upvote their own posts and just let the community create the visibility of the post?

    I'd be interested to hear other peoples thoughts on it.
