Anime. There are plenty of great shows I like, and seemingly no way to discuss them with people who are actually normal about it.

Still waiting for more info on it, not to mention games, but I’ll almost certainly be buying a Switch 2.

Fighting games: I’m a solid upper-intermediate player in most of the games I play. I’ve got a few tournament wins under my belt for smaller local brackets. At majors, I usually go 2-2 or 3-2, consistently finishing in the top half. Best I’ve ever done in a large bracket was 9th in Them’s Fightin’ Herds at Combo Breaker 2022.

Riichi Mahjong: Master 1 on MajSoul, 7th Dan on Riichi City. Our local club runs a seasonal league where I took 2nd last season and am currently ranked 4th this season, though with IRL games the sample size is a bit small. I know I have a lot to improve on still, my deal-in rate is akin to repeatedly putting my hand on a hot stove.

Versus puzzle games: Retired out of spite for the sad state of the competitive scene today, but I used to be the top Puyo Puyo player in my state, peaked at a 2700 rating back then. That is a big fish in a small pond though, top Japanese players are so far ahead of us because barely anyone in the west ever took this game seriously. Which leads into the long rant about why I called it quits… I’ve dabbled in a lot of other games as well, but when it comes to competitive scenes everything else is even more nonexistent than Puyo. There are a lot of games I can call myself good at just by default.

As others have mentioned, mbin doesn’t auto-upvote. I didn’t even know that Lemmy does apparently. Seems like something that really ought to be standardized across platforms, because now it feels like mbin is at a ‘disadvantage’.

IMO, ideally you just shouldn’t be able to vote on your own posts/comments at all.

All of this just sounds worse and worse. NFTs, seriously?

From what I’ve gathered, this appears to be an unusably slow 4chan for crypto bros.
