@wolfcoder beyond that, I always found the slower pace of conversation to be strangely... comforting I guess? I dunno.
I think I might just be stuck in the stone ages ;_;
But yeah, I would definitely like to see more people experiment with different forms of online communities... since, despite the nostalgia factor, forums definitely weren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Far from it, in fact 😅
@wolfcoder For me, I think the thing I like most about forums was always the fact that - at least on smaller to mid range ones - the slower nature of the interaction. When posting on a forum in the sweet spot in terms of size, your words weren't as likely to fall into the abyss of a rapid fire timeline or chat history very quickly - your posts would be seen regardless of the number of followers you had, and they'd typically stick around for a fair little bit.
@starfall I feel like this needs to be protested. somehow. it's incredibly unfortunate
@starfall how insufferably boring ;_;
@starfall how does one acquire this power, I wonder? 😓
@mavica this sounds like it'd be really fun to see ^^
@compufox you're welcome! you just need some NTAG215 tags and you're good to go if you have an nfc enabled android phone
@compufox android phones are one of the best ways to go, as far as i know? there are some purpose built amiibo dupers you can sideload... in our case, all we have are iphones though, so we had to get creative ^^;
@BoxSystem@plural.cafe @compufox I really, legitimately, sincerely wish I had an easier time getting into mmos right about now 😭
this would be the perfect opportunity for infinite grinding
@compufox yeahhhhh, that's the situation we found ourselves in - we had a couple that we just really didn't like, and after a couple weeks of trying to find good ways to get ridda them, just went and bought an nfc writer for our pi and some nfc tokens.
four days later, they're both gone.
it's worth it ;_;
@compufox the timing was fucking perfect, i swear to god
like, i can't even imagine not having it to fall back on right now, it has been a complete and utter joy.
(especially since, in our collective boredom, we started making counterfeit amiibo for it and taking control over our island population 🤩)
