Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

How many things can you change in a game before it stops being the game it was meant to be?
Is there a list anywhere of different kbin instances? I don’t want to give up on kbin, but I might have to give up on social.
That’s about where I am, honestly. I’m starting to look for alternatives.
I can deal with the site having the occasional problem, but I can’t deal with absolutely no communication at all when things break down. Kbin has gotten too big to be a one-person operation.
This is now the fourth post I’ve seen about people starting to get fed up, and honestly, you know people are starting to hit their limits once people start making posts about their frustrations. I bet a lot of folks have just quietly given up or moved to lemmy or mbin because they’ve gotten frustrated with all the issues.
I’m a pretty patient person and can put up with a lot of goofiness on a site, as long as there’s some kind of communication happening. But there’s none.
From what I heard, they were dropping from four companions to three, Mass Effect style, and wanted the combat to be more like God of War. So my fear is it’s gonna be like Andromeda, where you can’t control your companions’ abilities at all.
At this point, I won’t believe it’s actually coming out until it’s actually for sale. I also don’t have any high hopes for it being very good if it does come out.
It’s really frustrating because kbin has gotten too big to still basically be a one-man operation. Unless he lets other people take over some things, the wheels are gonna fall off sooner rather than later.
Ethics bill would ban ‘pay-to-play’ political donations from companies with government contracts
The state of Tennessee every year pays billions to private companies that have contracts to perform government work. And, in some cases, those companies then make sizable campaign contributions directly to the politicians who influence whether those agreements are approved. To the public, this looks like “pay-to-play” politics, according to Sen. London Lamar, D-Memphis, and Rep. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, who are introducing groundbreaking anti-corruption legislation to put an end to this practice.
A Democrat Latina lawmaker opposed to the legislation said it would "allow open season on migrants."

There's a war inside the Republican party over how many rights to take away from women
The second I saw the guy who killed her was an immigrant, I just KNEW the shit was gonna hit the fan.
I don’t actually mind stuff not getting seen, it’s more not knowing if the site is going to error out when I try to look at it or check replies. Trying to access the site, or trying to upvote things, and getting error messages that are less than useful gets old fast.
I really like kbin, but honestly, with as unstable as it is and how little information is coming out about what’s going on (seriously, there needs to at least be a Mastodon account we can check for updates or information when kbin social is down), I’m seriously considering making a lemmy account and moving over. It’s frustrating, because I do really prefer kbin, but this is beyond frustrating.
Why would they? What Nintendo is doing works really well for Nintendo. They’re over 100 years old (which is considered a young company in Kyoto!) and are not about chasing the best and shiniest, but what works best for their continued long-term survival. They will always do their own thing and at their own pace.
Please try to be a serious person.
I never once claimed to be a “victim,” so don’t put words in my mouth. But racism is real and it happens, no matter how much some folks really want to pretend it’s just folks looking to be “victims.”
Dude is literally the same color as I am, a light-skinned Black person, going by the picture, and yes, I’ve had clerks follow me in stores and white women clutch their purses when I pass, and every man in my family, all of whom are that color, have a “being pulled over by the cops” story, so I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to do here.
You can skip those. I’m not sure what the keyboard command is, but on controller, hit triangle or Y when you roll. It goes straight to the final result.

It was incel nonsense blaming the murdered woman for not picking a nice guy and complaining about nice guys being lonely. You missed nothing by not being able to read it.
Please go to therapy to work out your weird issues with women.
I’m not really surprised. Nintendo tends to run on its own schedule. They also might be hoping the yen strengthens so it won’t cost them as much to produce new consoles. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll want to have enough in stock to not have supply problems like Sony did with the PS5.
