I also don’t preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they’ll be bangers. But I’ve been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I’m torn. I guess I’ll wait and see, again.

Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn’t properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends.
Made accounts in 278 different instances in the Fediverse after escaping Reddit, is still kind of lost. Doesn’t know how hashtags work.

6·1 year agoYeah it’s going to be a process. For an example, the Gundam and Gunpla communities are relatively niche compared to other anime or model kit building (which are already niche things in of themselves) and while their subreddits are quite active, we still don’t have that critical mass (or much mass at all) of posts and content to engage with here. I have been meaning to, and plan on, making more posts to those so they get more activity.
Honestly, while I’m happily settled here in the “threadiverse” and all that, I’ve seen that the main subs I used to visit and have now reopened, are all working about the same as before the protests. They were all basically niches, so they weren’t as badly affected by bot comments and the such. We will see, however, if their moderation can still keep up after the 1st tho.
It took me a couple days of reading and browsing around and creating accounts to figure out the fediverse and Lemmy and kbin. Until it actually clicked in my head that I was in one instance, seeing content posted in a community of another instance, commented on by users of even other instances, and how it worked between all that. I wanted to actually understand the mechanism, to better navigate it. Now, it all seems simple to me, but it was all very new for about a week. Also, the connection and federation errors that were happening a lot added to the confusion to a lot of people, I feel.
I am now very excited about the potential of all this. Decentralized networks rock.
Now, I think a random user could just show up and make an account and start enjoying it quickly, just would take some time to find the communities they want content from.
Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it’s not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible…
How’s the dpad and sticks on that thing, and how does it handle arcade and Saturn emulation? Those are kinds of games I’d really like to have in a handheld with this thing.
The last few years of remasters have amazed me with how much they HAVEN’T added emulator features even when the game is blatantly being emulated. Some of them miss save states or practice modes (particularly shmups) or proper key rebinding on the controller. I have 6x more buttons than the game originally needed, let me actually use them.
