What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible) in c/gaming@kbin.social

I love Mini Motorways, but it requires an Apple Gaming subscription.

The other game I’ve been hooked on lately is Tiny Towers.
The good: it’s chill, and it doesn’t force any ads on you unwittingly. There’s even a setting to turn off video ad offers, which makes it even easier to avoid ads.

Downsides: it’s F2P with micro transactions. That being said, it’s 100% possible to play without paying a cent.

I wish it had an online co-op like Mario Maker 2 did. My family loved playing Mario together, but we’re spread across the country.

You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

I buy myself a house, pay off my family’s home, pay off my best friend’s home, and pay off my and my siblings’ student loan debt.

And I’ll still have 998 million left over.

10 million goes into a trust, to pay my lawyers, financial advisers, and accountants.

15 million goes into whatever savings/trust/investment account my financial advisors recommend , with a maximum dispersement of $500,000 per year, for me to use as I see fit.

1 million for each of my 9 cousins, for education or housing.

964 million left.

I buy an apartment building. I advertise a reasonable rent, for the area. When I get a tenant that I like, I’ll decrease the rent to 20% of the person’s reported monthly income. I’ll apply that towards immediate bills, then take a small amount for long-term improvements, then put the rest in savings/investment accounts, one for each unit, split equally. Upon the end of the lease, the tenant can cash out this savings account. If the tenant has extenuating circumstances, their rent can be paid from this savings account, or the principal of this account can be pulled from at any time.

Some amount of money from the billion will be put in an investment/savings account, so that money can be pulled in perpetuity if necessary, to keep the apartment afloat during lean times. Something like 25 million, to allow for up to $1 million in disbursement per year for stuff that’s not covered by rent. Once this account doubles, I’ll buy another apartment, and so on.

$900 million left.

$100 million goes into a trust to be used for charitable ventures.

$800 million.

This is so much money. I literally couldn’t possibly spend it all in my lifetime.

One concept that popped up on tumblr a while back is either a miniseries of movie-length episodes, or a multi-season series of standard episodes, where each episode/season is self-contained, and tells The Legend Of Zelda, as told by a different person each time, corresponding to the games

E.g.: season 1 is told by a grandma in a cabin in the forest (for the original game). Another season is told by a seafaring family (for Wind Waker). Etc.

Each season/episode has the same actors playing the same characters, but the costumes, the details, the sets, etc. are varied between stories.

How do I keep ending up on other instances? (kbin.social)
 

Ok, maybe I’m doing something wrong, and I might have language wrong here, so correct me if I’m way off the mark.

But I can’t figure out how to tell if I’m about to go to a comment section of a posy that’s from a kbin magazine or some other group’s magazine equivalent.

My understanding, as someone using the mobile site:

  • I have an account on kbin.social
  • Kbin.social is an instance of. . . Something…
  • kbin.social is federated with other. . . instances(?) like lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
  • because of this, we who have accounts on kbin.social can interact with posts from communities/magazines/whatever their equivalent is from Instances(?) that kbin has federated with.
  • the home page on kbin.social is the equivalent of Reddit’s r/all
  • the home page on kbin.social will show posts from other instances we’re federated with
  • presumably there is some way to tell whether the post we’re clicking on is from a community on kbin.social, or a community on a different instance
  • with some posts it’s easy, because there’ll be a little (lemmy.world) or similar under the title
  • some posts, however, have (kbin.social), and then when I click to go to the comment section, it turns out it’s from sh.itjust.works
  • when you click on a post originally from another instance, it shows a warning at the top of the page, that it may be incomplete. The name of the instance is only shown at the bottom of the page, not in the post information.

My questions:

  1. is my language right?
  2. How can I tell, before clicking on a post, what instance it’s from?
  3. assuming that both kbin.social and lemmy.world both have a “books” magazine/community/etc., how can I tell if the post on my home page from “books” is from kbin or lemmy?
  4. how do I see a feed of only my subscribed magazines?

Thanks!

Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/ in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Mind if I ask what the instance that you’re planning to move to is? That sounds like a great defed list and I’d like to support that sort of behavior.
