Kbin Mascot pt.3, updated from feedback and several potential designs. More feedback wanted :)
  • I also love the kbinaut one! Requesting #4 in an astronaut helmet too!!

  • Organized kbin / Lemmy Apps & Resources
  • Really need some kind of mobile app that isn't the native web app one for kbin. Experience is just not great and is mostly keeping me off when I'm mobile

    +1 for the Artemis team

  • Final Fantasy XVI Review Thread
  • I don't think enough people realize the demo is literally just the game's prologue. It even says if you buy the game it will pick up where you left off in the demo

  • Favourite game music?
  • World of Warcraft, Undertale, Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania, Halo, Hollow Knight

    Nintendo is cheating

  • gender ruleveal
  • The fact that some bonehead can make up an 8 word story about a dumb cake and get this kind of reaction from someone is just wild to me

  • How do we call kbin users?
  • I'm just gonna come out and say it because I think people don't realize and it may be specific to US - if kbeans sticks we will be called "kbeaners" by trolls until the end of time, as it includes a racial slur aimed at hispanic/latino people

    Honestly I bet a fair amount of people will even unintentionally use it without realizing. And if we have the ability to choose, I'd rather our nickname not be something that invites people to easily combine it with a slur

  • How do we call kbin users?
  • Been here since just before the blackout and I'm not big on kbeans. First of all it sets us up to have a derogatory nickname, likely even unintentionally so. Secondly it has nothing to do with kbin other than vaguely resembling the word 'bin'

    I've been partial to kbinaut. No one will question where we're from. Keeps kbin in the name. And a bit more on theme as the 'fediverse' kinda has a loose space vibe to it and with kbinaut resembling astronaut

  • Brain chips to be tested on humans this year, Elon Musk says
  • Honestly I won't get one but I'm fine for Elon to break into it. I kinda feel like that's the only thing he does well. Funnels money into concepts people believe are impossible. Fail until there's some small success and let other, more competent people learn from those failures. I think I'd rather have that than stay stagnant and/or have the Russian brain chip become the standard

  • Brain chips to be tested on humans this year, Elon Musk says
  • And why do space communists not need asteroid mining but space capitalists do?

  • Brain chips to be tested on humans this year, Elon Musk says
  • And what company would you currently trust to make brain implants?

  • I feel like there is a pending wave of AI bots incoming
  • Keep in mind the notifications for the site have a bit of a delay, at least I've noticed. Like 20-30 minutes it seems

  • I am tempted.
  • OP is using a plugin from Decky. It's still the Battle.net shortcut but you can modify the shortcut name and use the SteamGridDB plugin to grab the actual metadata and art for the game. Check out decky.xyz

  • I am tempted.
  • I believe this is extremeRate's full shell replacement. Actually pretty affordable, about $40 after tax. I've heard it takes 2-3 hours to do though. Personally I'd keep the black dpad and buttons

  • I am tempted.
  • ProtonDB for Decky is a great tool to check how compatible a game is with Proton, even gives it a score

  • I am tempted.
  • It's a plugin for Decky which is a free 3rd party plugin manager. Goto decky.xyz from your deck and download file, make sure to run it from your desktop. Then go back to game mode and hit the "..." button to access it

    This plugin is HLTB for Deck. They're also using SteamGridDB to get the custom D4 art and the game's metadata. Game Theme Music, vibrantDeck, and ProtonDB are all musts as well

  • Weekend PC game deals
  • I'd definitely pick it up during the Summer Sale. With the DLC coming out soon and rumors of it being a soft relaunch of a lot of stuff, it's likely they'll keep it out of deep sales for a while

  • Star Trek: Discovery’s upcoming fifth season will be its final voyage
  • I think a lot of it was because Trekkies were waiting for years to have another traditional episodic series and were excited at the prospect of one getting a big budget. Discovery came out after a long drought and was different and seemed like it was trying to appeal to a broader audience. I think most Trekkies can admit it's a good sci-fi show, it just soured longtime fans as they wanted something more like TNG but with modern VFX

    Also I think this RLM skit sums it up pretty well

  • Favourite Game of 2023 so far?
  • Tears of the Kingdom without a doubt so far. Enjoyed every second of it.

    Honorable mentions are Hi-Fi Rush, RE4 Remake, Diablo 4 - even Jedi Survivor (especially if it didn't run like shit).

    And I fully expect Starfield, Spiderman 2, and Baldur's Gate 3 to give TOTK a run for its money. Honestly a great year for gaming despite some shitty PC ports.

  • Spam and porn are flooding kbin already
  • You're confusing "do not massively defederate" with "do not defederate at all"

    We should defederate from obviously problematic instances. We should not defederate in the fashion that beehaw is

  • Spam and porn are flooding kbin already
  • Defederating from problematic instances that are promoting illegal activity that would attract the FBI is a bit different from "Defederate, massively".

    Intentionally or not you're making it sound like if we don't follow beehaw's lead the FBI is going to be after ernest, who lives in a different continent and even has the project partially funded on a grant
