I want to say thanks for helping but I sort of feel you ignored the body of my post where I say I fled kbin.cafe for its inactive admin. Just checked now and they are still inactive. On the other hand I have also missed things while reading before. I guess I'll be staying where I am at until a new Kbin instance opens up ¬_¬ I feel very odd about using Mbin given some of the drama I have seen occur over the split (my admin on kbin.run did not get involved in any of the drama for what it is worth, though), and having gotten no say in the switch, but I also appreciate the decentralization of the Fediverse and refuse to get comfy in the flagship because then I'll never move and will be part of the problem keeping it centralized. Thanks anyways.

@lethe If you are looking for a spot to talk about otome on the Fediverse, I have been pretty much unofficially keeping @otomegames alive, albeit under a different account with a very similar username. If you have found a functional place for doing so on the Fediverse, please let me know! We used to have a small amount of people and then they all seemed to become inactive around the same time :(

I did not preregister for this one because honestly, not too into the 3D graphics. They look a little odd to me. Not quite unrealistic or uncanny valley or creepy, but still not quite there. I am also incredibly wary of traditional mobile monetization mechanics that gate you behind a stamina system or tickets or whatever: I am a pay-once-and-play person, maybe with some reasonable DLC for extra story content later. But I am happy that it has more gameplay than just reading and making choices. I enjoy just reading and making choices but I also like regular gameplay. I hope Love and Deepspace's choice to include more traditional video game gameplay (and Jack Jeanne's choice to include rhythm game gameplay) encourages more otome to include more traditional gameplay in the future. After all, I got into video games before otome. I hope you end up enjoying Love and Deepspace!

This is a much more extreme version of the same reason I never used Quora. I'd be allowed on one page, but after that, clicking on any internal link in the site would push a "create an account" dialogue and wouldn't let me click off to see the content. The way around that was just reloading the page, but the irritation and tiny extra step was enough to stop me from browsing that site. Just checked right now and Quora doesn't do this on PC, but it does on my phone.

Now Twitter won't let you on the site at all without logging in.

Thank you for writing that. I took that exact wording and sent it to some mods. Probably because it was easy and convenient, with the words given to me.
