I recently discovered STG, and I cannot stress enough how great it is! It takes a minute to set up with colors and group names. But, oh my, how great it is to have my Spotify, Last.fm, Bandcamp, etc, in a Music tab, all my work stuff in a Work group, all my general stuff (Facebook, Lemmy, and so on) in a Home group, and so on. Being able to toggle between them is so useful.

Test?

I’ll believe it when I see it. I don’t doubt it’s gone through extensive testing. But every Bethesda title needs a good patchin’, which may come sooner or never, in the case of community patches decades later. That said, I expect it, but hope it’s nothing game breaking.

The Pandemic Years just feels like a singular lump of time, somehow feeling like infinity and a singularity at the same time.

KOTOR is one I’ve wanted to try, but worry it’ll be a Morrowind experience for me. I was excited to hear about the remake, but that seems like it could be in limbo at the moment.

Oblivion was far more vibrant and fantasical-feeling while out and exploring. Skyrim felt very dull and depressing, but that was also the vibe they were going for. I don’t fault anyone for not liking something. Hell, Witcher 3 should be right up my alley on paper, and I just didn’t end up enjoying it, even after giving it several hours at a friend’s recommendation.

As for YouTube, Odysee exists and has a mirroring for YouTube uploads for content creators, but it’s mainly just tech and crypto people at the moment - yes, there’s others, but most everyday people have never even heard of LBRY or Odysee.

I came in on Oblivion and loved it. For as much of a mess as Skyrim was, I enjoyed it. I’ve found it very, very hard to go back and play Morrowind (or earlier games) as a newcomer without a pair nostalgia goggles. I agree, like all Bethesda releases, it will be a buggy mess. But I’m still looking forward to it. I just want another entry in the series to get lost in, but that’s probably just my depression and me looking back at more than a decade ago with my own nostalgia goggles.

From my understanding, you can interact between the different platforms. They are a little different in their approach, and I don’t fully “get” kbin just yet, but you can post to and interact with Lemmy from a kbin account.

Can you elaborate? Genuinely. I’ve seen this take a few times now.

I’ve joined both in hopes of seeing which one thrives the most in terms of users in the niche communities that made Reddit worth visiting for me, personally. So far, they seem largely similar. Points to Lemmy for having an Android app ready to go. Kbin has one in early, early beta that is (according to the GitHub) lacking in certain functionality.
