My wife and I have beaten NSMBU multiple times at this point. She We love it! lol. I never got into Monster Hunter or Dragon Quest at all but I’ve always been intrigued. Going to check out Brotato soon.

Wasn’t there an article a while ago about Nintendo having a 3 pronged approach to promoting their IPs. Games, Movies, and Theme Parks I think. I could be mistaken

Edit: Found it: variety.com/…/nintendo-business-strategy-expandin…

“The company’s basic strategy initiatives include three main pillars: the dedicated video game platform business, the mobile business, and the IP expansion business. Each has a different purpose and scale, Furukawa said, but they’re all considered critical to the company.”

(emphasis mine)

Sure thing! Let me know if you have any questions!

I’ll leave this post for now, but please refrain from self-promotion as it falls under “Rule 3: No ads”. Please refrain from self-promotion in this community.

Edit: in order to clarify this rule, I have added “no self-promotion” to Rule 3

Ugh, I literally just fucking bought this drive

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 10 months ago

So my serial number says I don’t need the patch. So hopefully I’m fine.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 10 months ago

Well I bought it for mass media storage for an upcoming trip. So I’ll just see how it goes and consider options afterward

Thanks, I hate it

I cant wait for round 2 when Boost launches

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 10 months ago

The only thing I like more than sync is people having the option to choose the app they prefer.

Lack of 3rd party apps is why a lot of us are even here in the first place. The more developers committed to Lemmy the better the platform will become.

Really liking arc max

I’m on the sync for Lemmy private beta right now. You are in for a treat! 🤌 Google should approve the preload page any day now (ball is in their court). And then after that we’re looking at maybe a week until public beta.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

So excited! I’m running the Sync for Lemmy beta right now and it’s amazing. It should also have its Google play preload launching any day now with beta release following shortly thereafter.

Edit: sorry, I wasn’t trying to hype sync over boost here. I was just saying having boost and sync coming soon together is really exciting!

He dropped a 100 invite private beta yesterday in his discord to get a small team of bug squashers together so he can take it the last mile before release. I just got lucky and was hanging out at the right time. He has a preregistration pending with google (they have to approve it) that he hopes will become available earliest tomorrow. This will allow you to preregister like you can for boost. Then he is hoping by end of week to launch the public beta. He just finished up implementing search (which will come to us in tomorrow’s update), and is halfway done implementing messaging. Then there’s a high priority comment sorting issue. I think those are the last 3 major bugs he wants worked out before the public beta.

The app is smooth as hell. It’s already on Beta 12 as of today with beta 13 coming tomorrow when he wakes up and compiles it. It’s not perfect featurewise (yet) but boy does it feel like I’m just using reddit. He has a GitHub issue tracker as well so you can see what isn’t working atm if you want.

Tldr: it’s not quite ready yet. I still use Jerboa for posting and the web UI for messages and mod tools at the moment, but at his current pace, I don’t think I’ll be needing multiple for much longer

But what if it’s all a hoax and we make the world a better place for no reason?

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

You can’t eat money. Our quality of life is already decreasing because of this. How do you think people’s quality of life in Europe is going to be when the Gulfstream current shuts down and stops bringing warm tropical water to them? Reducing our exploitation of natural resources is not a sacrifice, it’s the right thing to do. What we’ve been doing is wrong.

This is profoundly stupid

How about parents parent their kids instead.

Time to put these cameras in movie theaters. Can’t be watching R rated films if under 17. Time for cameras on E readers, can’t be reading inappropriate material without regulatory consent. Time to take a photo of yourself, the new Travis Scott album just dropped, but headphones only there buddy. Can’t have anyone else listening to it unless they authenticate.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

Exciting times!

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

Let there be root!

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

I love the detailed write up and certainly think that option 2 is the most likely. But the kicker for me was your last line lmao. 🤣

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

I’m happy to have your support. I’ve worked so hard to build this from scratch (as a lot of mods have). I’ve debated doing this for a little while, but the whole Mali situation pushed me over the edge.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

Fair enough. I will actively look into other instances when I formal migration tool comes along. For now, I had to make this decision in haste for the sake of my community, and that meant I didnt have the luxury of time to properly investigate alternatives. I appreciate your feedback though. You are not the only one voicing this concern, and I do hear you and understand the issue.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

I considered this, but I do not have the resources to run my own instance. There are some gaming focused instances that are popping up, but for now the most established gaming communities are on lemmy.world. Plus, I dont know much about those instance admins to trust blindly diving in with them. I am very happy with the lemmy.world admins and think they are doing a great job. They also have a successful track record with their mastodon instance, sot I have confidence in them longer term.

I will keep this in mind for a future migration to something like PS6 (or if some other catastrophe comes along lol).

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

This is a very good and fair point. I did consider this and was beginning to actively investigate something like this already, specifically lemmy.zip. I have been pondering a move to something more appropriate for awhile now. Unfortunately the Mali situation is forcing my hand to act more quickly, and I wanted to pick an instance that has a known track record. The World admins have successfully run both lemmy.world as well as their mastodon instances. I do not know much about the gaming-centric instances and their admins enough to jump in blindly at this time. If I had more time to develop those connections with them, I would have done so (and was planning to do so).

I do think that something like a gaming-centric instance is the way forward long-term and supports the Fediverse’s values and it will be something I deeply consider when evaluating a potential future migration due to future circumstances or for something like a PS6 community establishment. If there were ever a way to more easily migrate communities, I will also consider this down the line.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

When it comes, I will consider it

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

I understand that this move is not one that is best for the fediverse, but at this time it is what is best for my community. The Mali situation does not provide me enough time to consider better alternatives. I live to fight another day. When a community migration tool comes along, I will consider migrating again. For now, this is my decision and what I think is best.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

I would have, but unfortunately, the Mali situation does not afford me the luxury of time, as they could shut down the ML domain at any time, and they have already done so to another instance. Lemmy.ml being shutdown will kill my community outright. I respect that you disagree and I understand the reasons. I actually agree with you. If a community migration tool comes along, I will look into moving off of lemmy.world to a reliable and trustworthy gaming centric instance.

As for .world not being able to shoulder the burden. If they didn’t think they could handle the load, they can close signups and restrict new community generation. Since they haven’t, then they are choosing to accept these users and communities with open arms. I actually personally raised this issue with them when they surpassed lemmy.ml in total and active users. They are confident in their abilities to grow and manage. The admins were made aware of my intent to migrate and even helped me coordinate the transfer of ownership of !ps5 to my account for the purpose of doing so. They are very much in the loop on this.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle, 11 months ago

Thanks, that is exactly what i did. Much appreciated
