Not to forget, mentioning @fearout for his great suggestions and critical eye!

@fearout
was replying from mobile - so I’d like to add here… Great work on the texturing! The materials really look like their real life counterparts, perhaps even a bit more edible than supposed to. Which is a good thing.

@fearout
These look great! Just the right amount of detail.
I have created @3dmodeling and @zbrush here, so if you’re interested in sharing these there too I’d personally love that!

It honestly depends (imo) what you expect a Final Fantasy game to be, maybe you could elaborate?

If you want an Old school rpg? Go for the pixel remasters on pc, or emulate. 1 and 2 are fairly open and unguided for example, but do establish some tropes and recurring themes.

Once you hit 3D era games the gameplay also changes with it. Some are more action based, others are more traditional.

The story however will always be a big part, with interesting takes on how to save a world. Some people find it convoluted however.

I have made an attempt at populating them, they’re not necessarily empty. There are reasons to scroll past entries other than content, i.e. the instance they’re on. Plenty of people ignore certain domains altogether.

I’ve made a few magazines on kbin to protect from being taken by worse people than myself… I’ve also added a note in the sidebar/info that I have no intention of remaining moderator, and anyone who wants to take over (preferably with roots in the community elsewhere) can message me.

My cooking doesn’t look bad… But it will never live up to the food presentation I have experienced when visiting Japan. Everything just looks SO delicious.

I KNOW RIGHT. That one pixel of the traffic light… Eugh.

I’m cautious, the remakes have been hit or miss. Zelda Link’s Awakening was well done but the frame rate was inexcusable. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was a letdown… if anything we got the old one to emulate.

Are these the Backrooms of kbin?

The lemmy devs tried denying it in an update, and then someone brought the receipts. I really do not want to support those devs.

The primary thing with r/pics and its users is that they are creating/posting SFW quality content for free. They are an established platform with an audience, and the tradeoff is that the platform can be used for ads by its owner. This is all fair.

The main outrage against the blackout is now coming from people who usually scroll, upvote, and consume content. Not content creators. They cannot fathom that their source of entertainment is inaccessible and just want people to stop ‘overreacting’ and get back to scrolling.

What happens when the platform is no longer reliable, because the owner decided to upset the people making sure the quality remains as established? Sure, someone else will fill the gap, but with these actions I’m sure a lot content creators have flocked to other places. Which leaves the bots, and the lurkers. No content is worse than low quality content.

I’m curious for what the future brings for Reddit. It feels like it will have a different trajectory compared to Twitter, where anything is content and quality doesn’t matter as much.

this hits too close to home

First on the list. Sweet.

@ivanafterall they are now actively banning folks for using the pictures subreddit as intended? good grief.

Back in the day I made those anime screenshot banners for friends… equal parts cringe as much as awesome.

I’m glad the internet moved away from that, it’s a lot of bloat.

“We have Elon at home.”

I am glad to find you here, this is wonderful information to know. Hope you can find a new place to call home and indulge in retro gaming.

This bodes well for the quality of many subs: I’m sure turncoat figureheads will provide quality moderation. /s
