I'm all for it and hopeful. For the first time I'm beginning to feel that there's a real chance that even the US could move towards a General Strike before too long in response to how drastically conditions are collapsing across the board.

That's hot. Also I hadn't realized Dylan Dog was still going. 367, wow. I feel like rewatching Cemetary Man.

That should be the national flag.

What a tough question to answer, stretching all the way back to Atari 2600 for me.

I think I'll pick No Mercy/Virtual Wrestling Pro 2 on the N64. Possibly thousands of hours both solo and competitive at a friends with some incredible round robin tournaments with up to five participants. Just amazing Create A Wrestler and one of my handful of favorite gameplay mechanics ever. Also we were paying during the exciting days of pro wrestling so we had that enthusing us as well.

I played it on a 2019 Macbook Pro about two years ago now and oof, it was unsurprisingly rough. Probably unplayable, but through stubbornness I managed to make it through that first chapter available in early access. At the time I got it on Steam, I thought I'd be able to play it via GeForce NOW but then Google went an snapped it up and made it exclusive for Stadia. So instead I downloaded it to the Mac and suffered through crap resolution and crappier frame rates.

I just got a new M2 MBP after my old one went tits up on me and downloaded the game again to see how things are different and holy moly, it plays great at full resolution with most settings maxed out. Go Apple Silicon, and especially go Larian! Thank you so much for doing a native Mac version. I'd much rather play it this way than on the PS5. We've already got four ready to party up in online co-op with the new classes and races when the official release happens.

 

All 6000-ish of it lol. I'd been registered user for close on five years and I only made use of it for a couple more before that. But boy did Reddit help me out in a variety of ways small and big. And helped me waste time. Some would say too much time. Some would be right.

I deleted my content two and a half weeks ago in one big, automated purge and I've been waiting and watching and stamping out the occasional zombie content reappearing from the dead. I haven't seen any in a couple of days and today is a good day to die. This was much sadder than axing Twitter or Facebook (Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!)

I don't know how my experience with kbin will shake out, but I'm honestly looking forward to trying to contribute more and be more thoughtful, careful, interesting, in whatever ways that I can. That's the intention I'm starting with.

Alas, poor Reddit, I knew ye well-ish? It was a tough choice.

Adding my emphatic thumbs-up for this feature which I've also been wanting in my interactions with the kbin UI.

Lastly, speaking of the links, is there a way to make the link on the main page open the actual link to the external source instead of opening the post and comments? I feel like I am having to do extra clicks just to get to the content posted. I am used to viewing the content first, then going to the comments later if I choose to.

I'd like to add that I also would love to have this feature. I think about it each and every time I click on a post referring to a source.

In case adding my voice here helps to prioritize this, I also feel strongly that this would be a significant help to readability.
