Mbin is a fork and continuation of /kbin, but community-focused.

Kbin was destined to fail without opening up to community collaboration. I greatly preferred it over lemmy. So I will stick with Mbin now and Kbin.earth has been a small but nice Mbin instance.

Kbin.earth is on mbin, I think kbin is dead.

If they add AI they better not ask me for any money ever again.

DnD works great for table top, but it is a poor system for a video game. If you play solo, then the first act is quite enjoyable. I haven’t played past that alone, I have only finished the game with friends. And my god is it boring by the end, you wait for your turn, make 1 action, enemy makes a saving throw, now you gotta wait 20 minutes for your next turn. So basically the same as your frustration, just amplified.

All the fun and interesting spells require spell slots (or have use limits) which means you have to long rest after every fight in order to use them really, but then you lose buffs you might have and your friends might not be ready to rest. It’s so limiting. The fights just become slogs rather than something to look forward to.

DOS2s combat was way more engaging and fun, you could use any spell without worrying about not being able to in the next fight, you had way more fun spells and combos, you could do multiple things per turn, it was so much better for a video game. I wish they never took on DnD and BG3 instead was a great follow-up to DOS2. We will see what they do next I guess. Hopefully they fix the fucking camera at the least.

Oh this is something I will have to try, the combat was the weakest part of BG3.

I see some servers with hardly any, some with lots, the cat ears are popular. It depends on the communities you look in. Obviously the majority use Discord completely free, but there’s a significant amount of Nitro subscribers and a good portion of them are also buying things in the shop.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

People actually use the shop. they are spending $10-20 on a profile picture border. Now you are telling them that they can get them for “free”? You bet people will do it. Paid cosmetics have poisoned minds.

What else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.
