Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020’s equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.


No worries! I may have misunderstood no matter how clear ya made it tbh :P

I’ll still enter for MK however!


I’ll toss a shot in for Shadow of Mordor (as I’ve always meant to play it and never have).

Favourite game: Illusion of Gaia (SNES). Amazing little action-rpg, part of an unofficial trilogy with Soul Blazer and Terranigma. A must play IMO.


I’d expect a discount on a Disney live action remake because they’re horseshit, but that point doesn’t answer your question lol.



All else fails, grab yt-dlp. It’s a fork that I tend to find works better than normal youtube-dl anyway.


I need to get back into Zomboid. Literally haven’t played since early development. Like…‘the laptop has been stolen’ early development lmao.


Don’t worry, another year or two and they’ll be selling us Overwatch Classic™ for $15 a month.


I love getting a game for free, because I got a game for free, because I got a game for free!

(Seriously, got the Quake games for free via the Bethesda launcher, then got em for free on steam via transferring them when the Bethesda launcher went tits up, and now getting the remaster for free because of that lmao).



Yeah that’s me lol.

OW came out, I couldn’t get it for 8-10 months, I was already playing TF2 a bit so I went hard until I could buy OW and barely touched TF2 again for a few years.

OW stopped their updates, I started picking up TF2 again outside of OW’s seasonal events. OW2 launched, I uninstalled and was back on TF2.


And now they’ll have their own Sims game, so they’ll be going into overdrive.


But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.

Let’s you block domains as a user. It doesn’t block the entire instance, some posts do and will still come through (as I’ve found over the weeks lol). They’ve said on the github that a feature is incoming to outright block instances, if I read correctly.

Edit: Sorry, codebase, not github: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118#issuecomment-942720 ernests last comment.


I saw someone in another thread say that the NSFW change wasn’t due to go through until the 5th so they could be waiting to do it all together.

Reddit also may have gotten their bluff called with all the bad press, the devaluation. etc.
