       How is the phenomenon called, when you can't stop browsing the Fediverse or any site for that matter? I just browsed the Fediverse for 3 hours. It's difficult to stop. Being exposed to so many things. News, factoids, opinions, art, personal conversations. And so many interesting people, with the option to reach out at my fingertips.But I have to stop for now.#personal #Fediverse

       @okabe_rintarou the truth is that there's only one real person on the entire network. The rest are AI chatbots.

       @okabe_rintarouI can relate. I believe the term is "doomscrolling" or something similar.

       @noyoushutthefuckupdad Did you play the game? :blobcat_owo: I played it, the original first game, less than a year before I got on the Fediverse because of how often I saw it over the years on the internet and because of how incessant some people were recommending it.It might be shocking to know that I found it overall "just okay" for the most part. In the end, it was interesting and I went for full completion, but it had a lot of plotholes and rather silly conveniences in regards to how things worked out, specifically the "genderbending". These tropes seem not to bother most people though. But what made the game really stick with me was the route where Okabe was desperate to keep things as they are, even as his soul was slowly dying. I could relate to it. The ending to it wasn't romantic, but bittersweet - melancholic, yet at the same time hopeful and optimistic. I consider it the "main route" for myself and even briefly considered ending the game at that point.#SteinsGate #VisualNovel #Games

       It was one of those cases where the anime adaptation said everything the VN wanted to say but in a succinct and superior manner. I got memed into buying it when it released just because of how superior the anime was, and was disappointed in the VN.I think I still have one of my Sci-Adv pins that came with the release somewhere.

       @Bead @noyoushutthefuckupdad I didn't watch the anime (yet). What did you like about it more?It's one of those franchises where I wanted to play all the games released and only then watch the anime, but Spike Chunsoft, one of the most incompetent gaming companies I have ever seen, never let the Science Adventure series go on a sale where I would consider getting it. Even now, as I write this during the Steam Summer Sale 2023, STEINS;GATE ELITE costs $24 at 60% off. I wouldn't really care, since I considered this an absolutely unnecessary project, but Spike Chunsoft bundled Linear Bounded Phenogram, a collection of side stories, with it and there's no other way to get it otherwise.But ELITE also drives up the price of the Series Bundle, now at $42 even at 64% off. And that Series Bundle doesn't even come with My Darling's Embrace.And something that I can't get at all: 8-Bit Adv Steins;Gate, which is exclusively bundled with STEINS;GATE ELITE. Not to mention how their official translations are objectively lacking in quality and fans have to rely on the volunteer group Committee of Zero to fix them. One of their recent releases on the Nintendo Switch, HAOS;HEAD NOAH / CHAOS;CHILD, wasn't even playtested and the game hung up at the ending. People had to wait a month for a fix, if I'm not mistaken. This also heavily devalues the physical release. Truly incredible. #games #SteinsGate

       Honestly I can't remember a lot of the details since it was so long ago and I have experience significant cognitive decline in the time since then. Off the top of my head I thought the pacing was well done and they cut a lot of the superfluous scenes from the series while still managing to maintain character development.And yes, the Sci-Adv series has been buggy and broke the entire time. CHAOS;HEAD was notorious back in the day for being a mess requiring the fan translators to bring someone in to try and fix it.

       @DocScranton In my defense: I'm away for weeks and months and don't seek out anything funny, since I am aware of how much of a timewaste it is. But as someone who never participated much in online communities in most of my time online before, genuine conversations and exchange of information still fascinate me to this day.

       @okabe_rintarou back in my day, when it was all Geocities and Hamster Dance we used to call that "surfing the Internet". But then the giants came and put a stop to it 😢

       @reitoei How did the "giants" (I thought about Attack on Titan first) stop it? You can still surf the internet.

       @Bead @noyoushutthefuckupdad I forgot to add that 8-Bit Adv Steins;Gate is exclusively bundled with ELITE on the Niontendo Switch. But it was a good time to test out that new edit function in Pleroma, which hopefully worked. :blobcatcomfyuwu:
