@pokemon @tom Cool! Mastodon bot sorcery from right here in Columbus? How have I not heard of this?

We appear to be in route 29, heading west. We're passing up a potion, which is fine. Do we have any Pokéballs? JA? could use a Hoppip friend if we encounter one.

Where'd Hitstun Go?

I’m OK! I’m mostly on Kbin and Lemmy and a little Mastodon and Discord. They’re like if Reddit or Twitter were general Internet services like email and not getting ruined by a dumb CEO. I don’t use other platforms much unless I’m checking on someone who only uses one platform.

Today's my birthday and people are visiting my old profiles today, so this post is for them. Family and work are keeping me plenty busy and I haven’t been keeping up with everybody else like I should.

@lichess Nasty move! After this puzzle, black's only hope is underpromoting to knight on e1=N+. It's still an awful situation for black, since the Rd4# mate could happen just about anytime if black makes another mistake.

@Kyoyeou If you like escapism, consider !imaginarydirectory@lemm.ee 's listings. It'll get really interesting once @Martineski remakes his communities that used to be on lemmy.fmhy.ml. If join the Imaginary Network myself if I didn't post videos and real-life examples of floating sometimes.

Lemmy and Kbin are new and buggy, but I embrace the jank and work around it. I actually had to reply to you with my Mastodon account here because it didn't work the first time. It gets better. Don't give up!

@Kyoyeou The Fediverse is still young and it needs your help to balance all the negativity it attracts. You've got to contribute content to the Fediverse yourself. I wanted to see more stuff that floats in the air and that community didn't exist, so I made my own subreddit and then my own Kbin community.

You might have seen my !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io in recent months when a Lemmy bug gave it more exposure than it probably deserved. I try my best to make Floating Is Fun interesting to follow.

@jerry Oh cool, fedia.io is back! That's quick service!

@jerry Not a problem; it's OK. If you hadn't borked fedia.io, that would mean you're not trying hard enough to improve it. I think fedia.io is in good hands.

@FloatingIsFun @ChatGPT Is it possible to start a thread on a Kbin magazine from a Mastodon account? My first attempt failed. I'm afraid to use my Kbin account because Lemmy thinks everything I post there comes from two hours in the future.

The Aquatope on White Sand site

Title: The Aquatope on White Sand poster

Artist: Yuki Akiyama

It's Kukuru and Fuuka from the P.A. Works anime Aquatope on White Sand. I don't know what an aquatope is, but I guess it's the part of an aquarium that you can swim around in if you work there. Looks good.

(Test w/Mastodon!)

Hello, Mastodon people! I have a Kbin account and I mostly use that now. Fedia.io is the second-largest Kbin instance, run by the founder of infosec.exchange.

The bigger deal is that Reddit is self-destructing much like Elon Musk Twitter. I don't think Reddit is going to recover from this.

So, I'm moving my subreddit into Kbin too! I'm not done posting floaty things yet! At least Fedia wants to fix their problems.

Oh hey, you're both in the middle of the Venn diagram where New York City and anime podcasting overlap. Have Turtleboat's fan art of Kiki's modern food delivery service in Flatiron. Enjoy! Everyone else, pick out the other Ghibli references.

CrystalForce & NutellaFrenchToast – The Concept of Plastic Love

Sometimes, SiIvaGunner's crack team of mashup artists goes beyond the memes and makes something that's really good on its own. This one combines Hideki Naganuma's The Concept of Love from Jet Set Radio Future, Mariya Takeuchi's Plastic Love from YouTube recommendations, and a few other songs. This was made for the final round of SiIvaGunner's King for Another Day Tournament, which DJ Professor K won.
