  • For me, Pokemon has become more about romhacks/fangames than official releases. I still love the property, but the product Nintendo is providing at this point just isn’t something I’m all that interested in.

    …although credit where credit is due, Legends Arceus and Scarlett/Violet did attempt to innovate with the open world stuff. The results of that were also…not for me, but credit there.

    Thread reminds me that I need to finish Pokemon Unbound. I have a bad tendency to start new hacks before finishing the ones I started haha.


  • I really like the direction and vibe here far better than what’s going on with Lemmy. Beehaw seems to have less skeletons in their closet, but it’s hard for me not to be turned off of Lemmy instances as a whole with some of the issues. Beehaw is also limiting community creation at the moment which I totally understand their perspective on but makes it less useful in terms of what I am personally looking for.

    I think Lemmy is ready for the moment that’s happening right now but I have a hard time seeing it as a solution with some of the things lingering under the surface.

    …been through some situations like this before with platforms/communities ending and I really think the best thing we can do is be the change we want to see. Create and use magazines on kbin. Engage with people and be part of building things up as opposed to waiting for others to do it. As a non-dev, that’s really all we can do. It’s also something that can make a big impact.
