Yeah I would agree that for casual conversation Discord overtook for me. I was lurking r/warframe and after losing pc capable running game started gacha and discussed on r/Arknights. So with api fiasco I left Reddit and tried Mastodon... have account and check it out but there is no activity on #arknights , joined discord server for R/Arknights that was made during blackout and still going strong. Like I got better of R/Arknights and not on Reddit. People some use Reddit, some silently, some like me abandoned and even people who never used Reddit joined. Moderating m/Arknights on Kbin but with Kbin dev having unlucky strike and generally hopping he have health to both have normalcy and work on Kbin. So without proper mod tools and some broken features (like webp not displaying, where microblogs from Misskey converts to webp to consolidate space) and some other little wants that I would propose if I knew there would be implemented.
Using Misskey.io before it closed registration to Japanese only (happens when everyone was leaving twitter for Musk dumb thing he implemented). With Misskey at least found artists and players for Arknights but as it is Japanese instance, they only thing I can do is share art so #arknights tag weren't dead on Mastodon.social .
So TL DR left Reddit, joined sub Reddit discord server which is where I spend most of my leisure time, using Mastodon for news, Kbin for moderation (but no one visits, at least no spam as I clean up) and news , Misskey for fan art.

Thanks for the hard work!
Even though I don't post much so mostly ignore all those messages, still it is a big problem. Until we get it sorted out having tools like these helps stop "bleeding" by people who want to use kbin.
Had few pop up on my magazine even though there is barely a traction but saw few times bloat when posted on other magazines which is really discouraging.

Played 1,2,4 and 5 .
Mechanics I would say I liked 4 compared to 1,2 while 5 has formula a bit reinvented so it's different at all in good and bad ways.
Story wise 1,2 and 4 are great, 5 story is meh.
So if you want to try after 4 the 5th... Just tune out of the story, it's not even close to others. Personal stories in 5 are kinda good but overall story is trash.
So yeah Valvatorez main plot is great so definitely get that one if you itching for Disgaea.

I wanted to try free tier, but amount of time spending to wait in line to play a game was too much.add in that it was laggy and you can't just leave and come back. Now they will get free ad space for people who didn't even try service yet due... Amount of wait time in line. But speaking as someone who is redirected to Russian servers by default (too small country to have local server of course). Wonder how free tier experience for others in "good" countries.

I saw many artists going to Misskey.io because it's main instance even English speaking ones until they gone back to twitter, stayed on Misskey or half measures. Then because of EN influx in mainly Japanese server , Misskey.io closed doors to non-Japanese add in fact that Misskey or rather any federated service can't oblige to European Union protection standard which means they can't operate in EU officially.
So I see lots of messages on Misskey about artists making blue sky accounts as well... All depends where they get more views I guess or have people supporting them around.

Think important to point out
The version on GOG does not include online features. As a token of apology, we added the DLC "HIRED SWORDS DLC BUNDLE 2 - Doomweaver + Wolf-Priest of Ulric" into the base game.

Back to Siesta with Swire and Eyjafjalla looks like we will learn about Eyja parents. The limited banner feature: * Swire the Elegant Wit * Poncirus and limited operator of this banner * Eyjafjalla the Hvít Aska As it is Limited banner you will get coupon for 10 pulls and 1 pull a day until the end of the banner. Old Limited operators that can be pulled as off banner with x5 weight would be * Ch'en the Holungday * Gavial the Invincible So according to [So Long Adele - Farming Guide from gamepress](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/event-banner-guide-subpage-miscellaneous/so-long-adele-farming-guide) `Efficiency (based on all possible stage drops): Manganese > Aketon > Crystal` The event stages will be released in parts: ``` [A Holiday at the Hot Sprigs]: January 16, 2024, 10:00(UTC-7) - February 6, 2024, 03:59(UTC-7) [Treasurehunting in Siesta]: January 23, 2024, 16:00(UTC-7) - February 6, 2024, 03:59(UTC-7) [Surfing the Lava]: January 30, 2024, 16:00(UTC-7) - February 6, 2024, 03:59(UTC-7) ``` Good luck with pulls!

Agree I really was intrigued after being comfortable with reddit, but bailing because all my Reddit interactions was from phone, so cut story short tried Mastodon.social>Kbin.social>Misskey.io
Also funkwhale and hubzilla out of curiosity.
So I really interested in tech but there is a lot of wait between some of them agree on some points.
My aim for now to make Kbin community for a game that can directly refer to works of artists directly and for users of Microblogs to see topics and join in on discussions.
From personal experience Mastodon seems fine with threadiverse while Misskey can see posts if forced (and only kbin threads, link ones won't work at least) but commenting gives error. Also Misskey quotes shows as comments for a post/message etc, but not federate to kbin so as loop around don't work as well.
So having followed many artists on Misskey and having some people following me there kinda wish I could interact with magazine(community) directly, but too early for that I guess.
Also Misskey making webp conversion for images is good for storage(you get personal 2 gb and more with time or donations) but Kbin not federate them properly... So that also an headache...
Waiting when Kbin release api so I can remind about this problem again.
The story about music, new experiences and tragic future.

Want to promote our community before global anniversary starts on 16 January or later. More active part is reddit arknights discord [r/arknights discord invitation](https://discord.gg/f8QYnEKj6A) so if you want to chat with people who are still on reddit and people who aren't there anymore, this is where you meet them. Lots of activity there so if you have any game related questions someone will answer you. Less active part is our Kbin magazine (community) at [https://kbin.social/m/arknights](https://kbin.social/m/arknights) or [https://lemmy.ca/c/arknights@kbin.social](https://lemmy.ca/c/arknights@kbin.social) /arknights@kbin.social . Many people tried out but not many stuck with it and as there is no active communities dedicated to arknights, will try to keep our magazine up. If you know any lemmy community dedicated to arknights then I would really appreciate if you point me to some.
Hortus De Escapismo is here! Ideal city was last time when unit with Ammo mechanic come to global and now be prepared to a slew of new operators with this mechanic! ``` Total Sanity required is 3800 The event runs for 2 weeks, so natural Sanity regen supplies 3360.

I don't use Kbin for microbloging. Had started at Mastodon.social>Kbin>Misskey.io .
Switched from posting from Mastodon to Misskey as more people I would enjoy content or would watch my content (well being En speaking on JP server has it -) but I play Arknights and do silly challenge clear that I enjoy, so posting it there with # that will pickup our kbin magazine. Most of art is on Misskey.io as it is on the rumours for many was, but they limited it to Japanese with ever new server being English one.
So use Kbin Microblog to see anything interesting show up on magazine or just in general. Mastodon for "war" news and reports while Misskey for fan art.

Honestly First 2 test plates I was okay not bad, You have wiggle room.
Third one... Nope, those risks absurd and combining them is not fun at all.
Which is why I don't even want to show clear of 3rd test plate with niche I play, even if I uploaded on youtube
Main stage being abysmal and getting a bit better after second test plate also.. not fun.Glad that stall is not mandatory for medal.
The long awaited future replacement of Contingency Contract , the beta iteration of CC 2.0. I wanted to try it a bit myself before starting this megathread, from what it seems the rumours I heard on reddit and jokes about leaving your PC ~~(and god forbid your phones)~~ for hours is pretty much on point. With Meta squad 300 points is easy to get, 540 if you are really committed else wait till "Daily" stages unlock in 2 ,5 and 8 days. Then you can try your hand at medal aka 600 points. **Special mention** Challenge for Dorothy "Inescapable Dream" have a text that requires 50 overall in Dispatch/Planning. Easiest to pick are all Dorothy challenges and Deployment/Max squad limit. Else look at "Test details" if you have enough points for "Sanctuary Judgement" If there is any guides or explanations how to manage Pinch-Out easily, I would add to body of this Megathread or pin if you made your own thread with a guide. Good luck with this one, it is bad as people joked about.

Difference between Kbin and Lemmy is how they show their threads. Lemmy does community self boosting that's why it shows in Mastodon Groups, Kbin does not.
Mastodon working on groups but last I heard about it is in August I think... so nothing yet.
You can manually add lemmy and Kbin threads by posting link into Mastodon search, but again not useful and only when you want to respond not lurking.
I would also want more interactivity with threads as I use my Misskey.io account much more for posting but have to do jump hoops for threads I want to share show up. You can't make threads to Kbin from Mastodon/Misskey as they are sorted to microblogs, while addressing @ to lemmy community will work to make a thread.
All in all we are yet to have good communication between threads and microblogs, my solution for that is set up Mastodon bot that checks RSS feed of my community/magazine and post whenever new thread is made. Afterwards just copy link from bot in mastodon search and you can view/reply.
