Thank you! A thread I just posted made it to Lemmy instances within 15 minutes. The thread that didn't federate two days ago has found its way there too. Jerry is the best instance admin and Fedia.io is worth paying money for.

No kbin.melroy.org subscribers that I know of. I don't know where I'd check if I could.

Another Mbin instance kbin.earth federates with us but doesn't have yesterday's post right this second. You can cause that post to federate by clicking here to search kbin.earth for that fedia.io URL. A few seconds after someone clicks that link, the post should appear on kbin.earth.

OK, I'm glad it's not just me. A few days ago, it took about 6 hours to reach Lemmy instances, and a post I made yesterday didn't federate at all.. I was able to get my most recent post to appear on kbin.melroy.org by searching for its fedia.io URL there. I don't think Lemmy has a similar mechanism, though.

Here in Ohio, FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique were the national game store chains in town until GameStop bought them both and took over their stores. Funco was known for their lists of trade-in values in magazines in the days before VGPC. Now it's come full circle and GameStop is turning some stores into the 90s FuncoLand stores they replaced.

Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register

I've only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.

Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I'm here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)

would've been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active.

I'm trying! :P

I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it's still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin's interface more than Lemmy's defaults, though Lemmy's support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I'm happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine's custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.

Oh dang, I'm gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I'd like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.

It's close, but I give it to Ocarina of Time. Both were genre-advancing technological achievements of 3D and cinematics. Neither of them are the best in their series, with better games before and after these. But Ocarina of Time is more fun in combat and in glitches, so it's better.

The better debate is what's better: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Metroid. Both, of course!

 

20 years ago, I used Tony Hawk's Underground's ingame creation tools and some GameShark codes to add NiGHTS into the game. The game actually takes it pretty well despite not being designed with flying skaters in mind. Enjoy this blast from the past!

The fascists we're talking about are strictly Trump and his followers. Other conservatives are also bad, but not bad enough to overthrow the government and install a dictator.

As for the argument that a vote for a third party is a vote for the bad guy, I'm not so sure. I voted against Biden in the primaries because we can do better. But when tens of millions of people are going to vote to install a dictator, the rest of us need to be united behind one candidate long enough to defeat them. Someday, third parties will be viable, but not this year.

Hello from !Columbus !

Man, today you guys get a cool summer parade with giant balloons and Blue Angels and stuff. What's up with moving the parade to mid-afternoon, though? Isn't the whole point for the parade floats to be lit up by awesome light displays at night like Disneyland's old Electric Parade?
