Still grinding away at Street Fighter 6, and currently starting another run of the FFVII Remake!

+1 vote for the Dishonored games. If you want a quick showcase of what’s possible in this title or the whole series, StealthGamerBR is probably one of the best people to watch.

Also disappointed, but kinda expected this to happen. I wanted to get the Phone (2) but at this amount it’s just not worth it. Meanwhile the Phone (1) is also still available, and if the price drops even more I might consider getting it instead.

For me, the aesthetics. I’ve always thought the iPhone 4 looked GREAT with the flat front and back, and the straight-edged sides. The Phone (1) drew inspiration from that, and added transparent glass on top of it. Fast-forward to Phone (2), and although I’m not feeling the grey, I’m happy they’re keeping the same ethos.

Good standard features, I like the extra functions on the power button. But it lacks oomph. It just looks… meh, for me.

I’m gonna wait for US carriers to fully support the Nothing Phone (2). I was tempted to replace my 4-year-old Galaxy S10+ early this year with the Phone (1) since I’ve been hearing stories of it working on T-Mobile, but I can wait a few more months for an upgrade (and a black colorway).

I currently have:

1. Spotify - ease-of-use, can use on mobile
2. Xbox Game Pass - although I don’t use the streaming aspect of it
3. Netflix - shared with a spread-out family, although we already got the “one household” notice, so it’s probably gonna be on my chopping block sooner or later

And mostly because I’ve already watched everything I wanted to watch on these, I’ve recently cut:

1. Hulu and Disney+
2. HBO Max

Oh man, I knew there were a lot but I had no idea.

I remember when Google Wave was demo’ed to a live audience, there were audible ooohs and aaahs from the crowd. It was such a mindblowing idea 14 years ago, shame it never really got off the ground.

I’m interested in spinning one up as well, mostly for having the choice of what to name the domain lmao. Right now I gotta look more into it. Hopefully @dan can get back to us with some numbers.

I’ve heard that kbin supports blocking entire instances at a user level

Yes, to do this, go to kbin.social/d/insertinstancehere, then block from there.

I think this is one of the strengths of kbin, because kbin itself can be open and neutral as much as possible and let each user decide the content they want/don’t want to see. Of course this doesn’t stop bad actors from coming over, making accounts, and start giving the instance a bad reputation, making it increasingly likely for it to be defederated by other instances…

Joke’s on us, that’s exactly what he thinks.
