Does this combo work the way I think it does?

You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners
A new fan-made port of Wipeout can be played in a web browser
You can now play the PlayStation classic Wipeout in your browser.
If you just wanna play it, here's the link: https://phoboslab.org/wipegame/
That's a feature I added a bit later on, you should be able to disable it in the settings menu in the top right. However, this userscript is no longer supported, and has been added to KES (which you can install here), with some more config options added as well.
Not problematic as long as you don’t go around eating electronics
Apparently the statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement (source), I'm surprised it wasn't thrown out on that alone (but I'm not a lawyer)
Like the collapsible comments didn't work with the endless comment scrolling from kbin usability pack
Ooh, I had no idea that was a feature in KUP! I'll see what I can do to fix that. Should be a relatively easy fix
The term has actually been rolling around for a few weeks, it's just used to describe Lemmy and Kbin, since they're based around threads instead of twitter-like posts. Nothing to do with Threads by Meta
It might be kinda hard to pull off, but I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure if KES can be used to (easily) modify the post rankings, but I think randomly hiding them based on a factor you set could work well. So if you set it to 50% for @memes, it’ll hide half of the posts from there on average.
It’s not perfect, but I think it strikes the right balance between seeing every post and blocking it. I’m busy this weekend but I’ll create an issue on KES’s GitHub repo and someone might beat me to it.
I think they do it to add motion, and make what would have been just a still shot look a bit more dynamic. I've been tempted to do the same thing in my videos, but more for diagrams and pictures, because it makes it a little more interesting than just staring at an unmoving picture for 30+ seconds
In California, I'll see them running across the street sometimes. There's a lot of forests in my area and sometimes deer will wander out of them and into the neighborhoods
This is awesome! I'm really happy to see Sony make their own accessible controller
What are your favorite mods for Cities Skylines?
It's been a while since I've really dug into the modding scene and I probably should clean out my steam workshop subscriptions list. Here's a few of the big mods that I have, am I missing anything new?
- TMPE
- Node Controller Renewed
- Intersection Marking Tool
- Network Anarchy
- Metro Overhaul Mod
- Real Time
- Lifecycle Rebalance Revisited
Water fountain turned on before news conference, soaking attendees
City officials were sent to announce renovations for the Ambrose Kennedy Pool in east Baltimore when the water fountain was turned on
The mayor’s office said the contractor was working on a water main replacement project when he was killed.
It seems like this is the opposite of the issue we were having with Violentmonkey, we'll see what we can do about fixing it
I'm hoping there will eventually be kbin update or userscript that allows you to change the text size of comments separately from the rest of the site.
That should actually be somewhat easy to do, I just created an issue for it on GitHub. I'm gonna be busy the next few days so I won't be able to work on it until later, but maybe someone else will beat me to it!
He briefly mentions making a "neural processor" in the middle of the video, so maybe it's possible down the line?
I just reposted it, seems to be showing up now
kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience
A couple of weeks ago, @shazbot made this post about a project that they were working on. Since then, @shazbot, @ori, @minnieo and I have been hard at work, and we are excited to finally announce the official release of kbin Enhancement Suite (KES)!
kbin has seen an explosion of user-made add-ons, but keeping track of them in one place, letting them share settings with one another, and toggling them on and off can be a challenge. KES is an expandable add-on manager that aims to rectify this by providing a unified interface and framework for script makers to collaborate, and letting you use them all in one place.
KES brings together userscripts from the community, with a built-in settings menu that lets you tailor your experience to your liking. It also offers a flexible framework that empowers script authors to effortlessly integrate scripts into KES and set up custom input fields with no additional code.
KES gives you a single window onto a collection of enhancements that is growing by the day. And those features can be added to by you!

Features ==========
We’ve focused on making customizing your kbin experience as easy as possible, whether you are on mobile or desktop. After we sort out the bug reports from this release, we plan on adding many more features! Here’s what we have so far:
- Collapsible comments with nesting (by @artillect)
- Use slash commands to add emoticons in text areas (by @minnieo)
- Add syntax highlighting (with customizable themes) to code blocks (by @ori)
- Show instance names next to non-local users and communities (by @artillect)
- Add a link to message users on your instance next to their usernames (by @shazbot)
- Hide upvote/downvote buttons and reputation (by @artillect)
- Show more detailed timestamps on threads and comments (by @shazbot)
- Hide thumbnails on threads (by @shazbot)
- Add link to subscribed magazines to the navbar (by @shazbot)
- Replace or hide the kbin logo in the navbar (by @shazbot)
- Add “OP” label next to thread author’s username in comments (by @shazbot)
- Convert navigation links on profile pages into a dropdown (by @shazbot)
Each of these can be toggled in the settings menu, and some of them have additional configuration options, such as setting custom labels, colors, etc.
New features are added on a rolling basis and the menu pages will update on the fly to reflect this new content.
Installation ==========
Click here to install KES, and follow your userscript manager’s prompt to complete the installation.
If you don’t have a userscript management extension, you can install one of these, and then install KES using the link above:
- TamperMonkey (desktop, or Firefox on Android)
- Userscripts (iOS 15+)
Once KES is successfully installed, access the settings menu by clicking on the wrench icon located at the top-right corner next to your username. From there, you can enable the features you like, and customize your browsing experience.

If you are a userscript author, we’d love it if you could try porting your userscripts into KES, or try writing completely new ones for it! @shazbot has made it easy to integrate your scripts: you just need to add your script’s information to manifest.json, make a few small modifications to your script, add it all to the GitHub repository, and you’re good to go!
KES benefits:
- Turnkey integration: a simple, declarative framework for dynamically adding features to the UI without touching the underlying code
- Sharing of user-defined settings through script namespaces: access your script settings, and those from other scripts, through a well-defined object
- Automatically responds to infinite scroll and page reload events
- Attribution of script authors
- Easily toggle scripts on/off
Explore KES’s documentation here to get started. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here, on /m/enhancement, or at our GitHub repository.
Is it not showing up? I made it earlier but it hasn't gotten any votes or comments, I wonder if that's why
Honestly, it's a great question! While kbin is open source, making userscripts allows you to iterate on changes and get updates out very quickly. It's also much easier to start making userscripts than it is to contribute directly to the project, since you only really need to be familiar with JS, HTML, and CSS. To contribute to kbin, you need to be familiar with PHP and Twig, and set up your own instance for testing your changes.
Plus, while kbin is open source, not every single change will be merged, and there will likely always be features "missing" from it. Userscripts also give you a ton of freedom and flexibility in how you use sites, so you could make crazy changes that aren't remotely possible to merge into it.
Hope that answers your questions!
Ernest is definitely aware of some of these (he's been spying on us over at @kbinStyles lol), it'd be great to have them be built in! I love that we've got so many people making mods for kbin, it allows you to make things at a super quick pace

Is anyone else having trouble making image posts on kbin?
I'm trying to upload a picture to make a post, and I keep getting the error "This value should not be blank" when I try to submit my post, even though all of them are filled in. Any idea what's going on?
Out of all of the alternate arts released in the last few years, which one is your favorite?

Brawl Hub League Season 8 (With new bans)
Greetings!
The Brawl Hub's Season 8 begins in a couple days. Come check out the discord to sign up!
https://discord.gg/brawl-hub-724663163194441769
Based on feedback from both inside and outside the league changes have been made to the league's banlist. We hope that these new bans will cultivate a more creative, interesting, and fun format for people to compete in.
Commander only bans:
- Rusko, Clockmaker,
- Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
- Raffine, Scheming Seer
In the 99 bans:
- Wash Away
The Season 7 tournament just wrapped up with Atraxa, Grand Unifier taking down Kethis, the Hidden Hand in the finals. With Rusko, Teferi, and Raffine out as commanders (these cards are still legal in the 99) we have our eye on Atraxa for a future ban if this phyrexian value bomb takes over the format. With the two best control decks out of the format this could time for aggressive decks like Adeline and Ragavan to shine, though. Or will there be a new commander from LoTR that emerges as a top contender?

Come join us and compete to be crowned the next historic brawl champion!
spotted - A new community for car spotting
Since /r/spotted shut down during the blackouts, I've been missing seeing pictures of the random cars that people see, so I've created !spotted (or @spotted for people on kbin). Come share some pics of cars you've seen!
