/r/Columbus too. We tried with !Columbus@midwest.social and a few others, but they all died out after a few months.
To be real, the regulars at !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io are completely different from the regulars I had at /r/FloatingIsFun. I couldn’t get most of them to follow me to the Fediverse, and the community I built on the Fediverse mostly benefited from the added exposure of a Lemmy bug that pinned all Kbin posts to the top of /new for two hours.
For those of us in North America, a little eclipse music. Especially good for driving away and escaping traffic.
True, it’s not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement’s hubs, click a category you’re interested in, and then sort by “most players”. The popular games there might surprise you.
Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?
So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you’re coming from.
I thought Soft Garden’s boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it’s satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.
Hi there! Since I’m here finding sources, I might as well crosspost my phone’s wallpaper. Papika and Cocona are sort of skydiving like this at the end of the show.

Challenge accepted. These vector trees have been ripped off to hell and back for ten years, but I think the original artist is desenart. Vector art theft just runs rampant. They even got rid of the surfer dude.
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about-- ah, forget it. I’m lucky to keep my elo higher than my @FloatingIsFun@fedia.io post count.
I dunno, Nc6, then Qa5+, then Nb4? They’ll probably take our knight but it stops their attack.
Then I guess we push king and try to check their king with our king.
Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar to install them all silently.
Yes! Seriously, listen to it on stereo speakers. It’s a shame phone calls aren’t in stereo. This song is actually good.
.hack//Sign is the worst anime series I’ve ever watched all the way through. This cool music gave me such high hopes. But, this show was about 5 episodes’ worth of material and music stretched into 26 episodes, and it still left lots of unanswered questions that require watching more .hack stuff to resolve.
If you hear more than five seconds of this song, you’re probably dead. It’s a shame, because this game has some good riffs in its soundtrack.
Of course you have to follow it with The Odyssey by Symphony X, a 24-minute symphonic metal track.
Yay! I love Shiren 1 on the SNES and DS and I actually just started it again after seeing it get challenged on GameCenter CX. I still need to actually play the other Shiren games.
Is there a community for Shiren the Wanderer on Lemmy or Kbin? I don’t want to have to go back to Reddit for it.

I liked a lot of the parodies and jokes in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but the game had too many frustrating parts in between them. About half of this game should have been left on the cutting room floor, but Rare wouldn’t cut their bad ideas out of the game unless Nintendo was supervising them.
If you’re wondering how flying squids eat and breathe and other science facts, repeat to yourself “It’s just a name; I should really just relax.”
A freeware shmup for Windows and Sharp X68000 archived here. It’s developed by Koichi “Famibe No Yosshin” Yoshida with music composed by Ruzarin “Loser” Kashiwagi.
Yeah, I brought back the X68000 from my first post here. Enjoy.
One of the few 32X soundtracks to actually use the 32X’s extra sound channels. Even the bad Sonic spin-off games tend to have catchy soundtracks.
Hi! !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io mod here. Thank you for the shout out! I’ll try to participate here from now on.
Sub.rehab can show you subreddits that have verified official communities on Lemmy, Mbin, and others. You can import your followed subreddits from Reddit and find their Fediverse counterparts quickly. It’s the best place I’ve found for Reddit users to find communities to follow here, even if a lot of them aren’t very active and their Reddit versions are still active too.
I think Lemmy and Mbin’s interfaces scare some people off. A lot of users don’t know that Lemmy has plenty of other third-party interfaces like Photon, Alexandrite, Voyager, and of course, Old.
Mbin lacks these for now, but makes up for it with the rarely-used custom CSS for magazines, just like Old Reddit, and custom JS too! I use mine to create a two-column layout with big thumbnails! Unfortunately, the CSS doesn’t federate and is only visible when viewing it on Fedia itself. I’d love to have even a Lemmy-like banner image on other instances.
For the daily word puzzle Wordle, !wordle@lemmy.world and /r/Wordle both benefit from having a bot post a discussion thread for each day’s puzzle as it’s released. I go there every day and post how I did on the day’s puzzle. I still post and moderate on the Reddit one every once in a while, but I tell them about the Lemmy one while I’m there. The recently-created !dailygames@lemmy.zip does this for several daily puzzle games, but I’m not sure if it’s a stronger community or just more cluttered.
Of course, we could remind Reddit users that the Fediverse doesn’t have ads! That was a huge selling point for me.
And when a Reddit community decides to go all-in and move here, they could consider a full screen redirect link like Old Reddit /r/Mei. I thought about using that redirect myself on my old subreddit.
