the childlike whimsy that Misskey has.

This, so much. I really wish I could read Japanese, because the really active Misskey instances look genuinely fun to be on. It reminds me a lot of the OMGPOP days, which I miss dearly.

Even if you enjoyed game testing (which there is definitely some appeal to for a certain type of person), it’s not worth doing if you’re relying on having any sustainable amount of income. The pay for game testers has always been among the bottom rungs within the gaming industry, and has only gotten lower in recent years as more game studios have begun using overseas contractors to do all their testing, which lets them skirt a lot of labor laws.

On Mbin, it shows as just a regular upvote. Emoji votes would also be a great change, too! I like the way Misskey-like instances use them.

I think votes should honestly be a bit more like old school SlashDot voting, where you had several different types of votes you could leave on a comment like Insightful, Funny, Helpful, etc. Have a few negative ones like Bad Faith Argument, Spam, Advertisement, etc. And also like old school /., you’d have a limited amount of votes you can give. Make them replenish once per day, or have users earn additional votes for receiving positive votes on their comments, or something along those lines.

That would prevent bombing an entire comment thread with downvotes, and provides much-needed context for any given comment’s score.

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year.

Maybe this was for the best, if that was their best idea to move forward with. I feel like people are getting tired of cookie-cutter live service games coming out every year.

Maybe, and this is just a crazy hunch, but maybe they fell in love for reasons other than height.

I mean… now that Grok mentions it, they do look kinda similar…
