End of an era for sure.
Glad to be a part of Kbin going forward.

I appreciate your comment and hope to see you around!

Yeah I've replied to a post here too about bots taking over.
I used ChatGPT to "reply to the post as if you were a robot"
Made it a pretty funny response and then people were asking if I was a bot.
Who knows, maybe I am.

Although the name "boost" is a little odd. kbin is more than than just a link aggregator. kbin is also a semi-blogging platform (View the microblog feed rather than threads) that interacts with Mastodon. If you boost something, it is the same as reblogging (re-tweeting) a post and generates a reblog post on Mastodon. The developer is going to change it to where the up and downvote impacts reputation rather than the current boost and downvote button. A technical oversight but they acknowledge this and plan on changing it in the future however internet points is not really a priority so no one knows when the change will roll out.

This is the way

It’s been fun for me to exploring it. Still getting a feel for how it works but so far I’m enjoying kbin.

Unfortunately, these migrant ships that sink are not exactly unique. There’s at least a handful that go down every year. As someone else pointed out that this is pretty much a first of its kind disaster. Tourists dying visiting the Titanic. Before this became news I had no idea that this was even something people do… then again I’m not a millionaire with a disposable 250k.

Migrant boat sinking with hundreds on board - tragic? Yes. Is this something new that happens? Unfortunately no.

I pretty much exclusively played shooters growing up. Call of Duty is the big one. I haven’t played COD in almost 10 years.

I got to a point where gaming was pretty stale. I was playing on a console mind you. I made the jump to pc gaming and the amount of diversified games rekindled my enjoyment. Playing MOBAs, mmorpgs, and even shooters that are pc exclusive.

Long story short, need to diversify. Play games in categories you’ve rarely dived into before and find something new. Playing the same 5 or 6 game series is bound to get boring for anyone.
