Episode 9 is also pretty bad, from an editing perspective. Everything just moved too fast, and nothing felt like it had proper buildup.

Everyone is quoting the sequels, but don't forget the prequels. Between those and the sequels, there's a solid 4 movies out of 9 that I'd say are bad, maybe 3 if you're generous.

The games and from what I understand the books can be pretty good though.

It looks like Frogwares is listed as the publisher here, so it sounds like whatever issue they had with their previous published has been resolved. I hope they got all the money they were owed

For what it's worth, confirmed for me as well. Except "new", that page seems to work fine.

On Mobile, using Firefox on Android if that matters.

Actually, our downvotes don't federate out, and we don't get incoming downvotes either, so you could totally make them private within an instance since that information doesn't leave the instance anyway.

Not advocating one way or the other, just pointing out that it technically could be an option.

Hbomberguy is a popular YouTuber who recently released a video on plagiarism on YouTube. You can watch it here. I haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm assuming the person in the article is someone he calls out in his video

I recently beat the PC port of Chrono Trigger, which was my first time beating it. It held up better than I expected.

Currently I'm switching off between Megaman Battle Network 2, Half Life, and Lost Odyssey. It's my first time playing Lost Odyssey and I'm a little surprised how much I'm enjoying it. It helps that the localization has been really good so far.

Sounds good! Not a big priority, I just think it would be nice since kbin has access to both. Like others have said here, I appreciate the work you're doing!

It definitely feels like the kbin hosted magazines that have overlap with Lemmy magazines are struggling to get attention/engagement. I think part of it is just that so many people are over there and don't look at federated content, so more kbin users don't bother with contributing to our own magazines.

I'm not sure what the answer is to fix that, or if it's even something that needs to be fixed since we federation we're still receiving and engaging in content. Would love to see more activity on our home turf though.

Is there a way you're able to see both threads and microblogs, or do you just have to switch between the two?

It's true, we give trials and similar protections to citizens of other nations, but if someone weren't part of a nation at all, why bother? There wouldn't be a larger body of organization that would be interested in protecting them.

And we have suspended that right to non-citizens before. That was a major issue with Gitmo (in addition to the cruel and unusual punishment)

The thing that annoys me about "Sovereign Citizens" representing themselves in court/thinking that they somehow aren't beholden to US law because of some stupid declaration on their part is that the law and the court are there for their sake. Having a trial, being presumed innocent until proven guilty, and entire idea of due process is afforded to citizens of the United States. If "Sovereign Citizens" truly weren't US citizens, there wouldn't be a need to go through all of this. The government could just seize them and do whatever they wanted with them. They wouldn't have any government to go to bat for them.

It's all just so stupidly short sighed
