Just wanted to say thanks and fuck spez.

I made this as a 2nd home to scratch the itch for pcgaming and now stuff is coming along nicely on kbin we now have a good network on the fediverse for not just pcgaming but everything that reddit catered for and no one can control it all unlike reddit.

Let's pray this community actually likes games and is not as toxic as they are on reddit. I'm sure this comment will age like milk.

[–] Dav@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Hi I love games and also I love you too x

[–] Jinxyface@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Assuming that people who routinely criticize these garbage companies somehow “don’t like games” is peak Reddit cope attitude.

We’ll stop complaining when they stop spitting in our faces. Thankfully I can crap all over EA and just go play Monster Hunter while doing it

I want to start gaming on my PC, I also don't bite and have never been active in PCGaming prior. Let's do this!

I’m mostly PCGaming on Steam Deck but I’m here to build community!

Awesome, what game genres do you like?

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I love Soulsborne! But I also love Japanese horror games. I'm actually going to be making a visual novel, so I want to play more of those as well!

was PCGaming toxic on reddit? i was subbed there for a while and it seemed like one of the better gaming communities to me

it got too big to the point it just served as a good aggregator for gaming news .

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Very nice. Let's see more of this.

[–] SleepingInTraffic@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Cheers to that! Amazing that even scrubs like myself on different platforms can interact.

[–] Shinfreyr@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a new user (strike, reddit, all that) and I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of Kbin... So I'm packing my bags here.

[–] Shinfreyr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Besides, what is your method for using Kbin on your Smartphone?

[–] AirborneRadio@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly the mobile website is surprisingly good.
Chrome for Android asks if you want to add it to your home screen and it's a relatively seamless process.
Plus it doesn't repetitively spam you to download a shitty mobile app :P

[–] LegendofDragoon@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Plus it's a progressive web app so you can just download the web page to your home screen to run it like an app on your phone

[–] Shinfreyr@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Good idea, thanks!

[–] TheDeadGuy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

They have a /kbin app

[–] tangelo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Great job, you are doing $deity's work pushing out the content on here.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am following all the pcgaming communities in hopes to find the void from /r/pcgaming.

If this is the one that takes over, I'm all for it.

[–] stormesp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is the discord now pointing out to r/pcgaming? Have we sold the community to the shitty mods that cared more about their position than the community?

[–] Whiskeyomega@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

No it hasnt been sold at all. I still look after this for its users.
I just thought that at least the community could be seen to pull together. So I asked /r/pcgaming to at least have a presence here incase reddit goes full evacuation. I also thought based on how new and small we were that being linked and in their discord would at least fill the empty void until we have enough people to make our own discord worth while.
