I’m not saying Lemmy/Kbin are perfect but fragmentation is a red herring. Reddit has a HUGE degree of fragmentation, look at how many news subs there are or wrestling versus squaredcircle ect. It’s not really an issue either, take the wildly different approaches Games takes to Gaming; each community serves a related, but unique purpose.

The true battle here is userbase and thankfully those numbers are climbing at a sustainable rate. If we ever get into the hundreds of millions of users it won’t matter how many cooking subs there are, there would be enough unique and viable ones that everyone would have just the one they were looking for.

Agreed 100%. I imagine they will have hardware and demos available early next year when it gets announced (possibly at the Super Nintendo World) which could be leading to confusion.

Sorry, must have had a typo, announced April 2011, released Nov 2012

I seriously doubt Nintendo would get into a situation where they are less than a year away from a new console without even soft announcing it’s coming in an investor meeting or anything. They announced Switch (as the upcoming NX) in April 2016 for a March 2017 launch. WiiU was announced April 2011, for a November~Dec 2012 launch. The Wii was hyped 2 years in a row in 2004 and 2005 before releasing in 2006, and the Gamecube was announced August 2000 before a Sept~Nov 2001 release. Nintendo may very well be launching new hardware early next year, but history points more to a Switch Pro unless they announce VERY soon and the release window is more late summer~fall 2024.

I feel your pain there. I made the switch during the pandemic thanks to my lectures all being recorded. Hearing myself start every single class with “Okay guys let’s get started” was just so cringey that I had to do something.

I feel like there’s still an acceptable way to do this as long as you keep it respectful and follow the mantra of “say more with less”. For example, let’s say we were at a cookout and I came by and said “Hey dude, have you seen Josh Allen’s girlfriend? She’s absolutely stunning”. You pull your phone out Google her we both nod and then move on to something else. If it lingers more than that or wades into the more murky waters of specifics then I agree it’s totally over the line.

So how many hours did you spend in there? There’s just so much interesting stuff and the mini restaurants inside are solid too! I think the first trip my wife and I made in there went for like 2~3 hours and we left with a wild assortment of stuff you just won’t find anywhere else.

It’s sad that there’s absolutely nothing at the Cincinnati Zoo dedicated to or even slightly hinting at Harambe ever even existing. The closest thing to a memorial is a statue of him outside of Jungle Jim’s all the way over in Eastgate.
