What… the fuck? I hope this is a bad joke or something.

I misinterpreted your original comment. We agree, haha.

Mostly for reference later on down the line. I’ve used threads like this several times to see what people are saying about more recent games, and it’s nice to have the date in the thread title to more easily contextualize the comments. Just a suggestion in case anyone else uses these threads like I do.

Just because it probably won't kill you doesn't mean it doesn't lead to debilitating health issues, which we could solve for if we simply vaccinate against it. Let the anti-vaxxers take their lives in to their own hands, but don't stop medical advancement because of them, for fucks sake.

As pointed out above, individual use of Firefox doesn't really do that much. Especially when Firefox already doesn't work properly for some sites. Plus, lots of people (myself included) need to use Chrome for work. This shit sucks.

Playing bits and pieces of a lot of stuff and nothing’s really sticking. It’s frustrating, haha.

Replaying Control because I never got around to the DLC back in the day, and I want to play it before Alan Wake 2 comes out. This is my main game right now, but I’m just slowly picking away at it.

Diablo IV - omnipresent side-game for me. It’s grindy, and repetitive, and the end game and itemization need work, but I enjoy the combat so it’s been a good podcast game.

Dave the Diver - Great game, but where I’m at currently it’s become more mission-focused than I’d prefer. Still liking it, but my progress has slowed quite a bit.

The Rift Breaker - Picked this up in the Steam sale. It’s fun, if a little confusing sometimes. The UI could use some work.

Yet Another Zombie Survivors - Despite the terrible name, this one’s actually pretty fun. I’ve played an absolute ton of these things and some are more interesting than others… being able to add 2 members to your squad, as well as some of the abilities and stuff, make this one stand apart a bit. At least for a couple hours of mindless fun.

Voidigo, Revita, Crab Champions, Dropsy, and Going Under (among others, honestly) are some more that are rotating in and out as I try to find something that I’ll stick with for a bit, but nothing’s scratching the itch so far.

I like that one, but a little misleading if it's an IAMA. Maybe Lemmy Answer Anything? Though, LAY has a better ring to it than LAA now that I think about it.

I finally cancelled Netflix and haven't used Shudder in about a month, but I won't drop it either. If anything, at least that $5/mo or whatever it is goes toward a company doing something for a genre I love.

That's fine, but if someone is making something actually interesting for a community I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be able to share it, provided that's not the only reason they're around. That gets harder to moderate, but if we're talking "perfect world", that's what I would want.

Thanks to any and everyone involved in putting out these server fires. It sucks, and it's often a thankless job. Keep up the good work, but don't kill yourself trying to solve all problems at once :)

My understanding for Beehaw specifically is that it was a temporary measure to guard against the huge influx of users, as well as a way to stop trolls from creating duplicate accounts from World (since it’s popular and has open registration). Defederating gives them time to figure some things out and scale up if they want to.

Killing off third party apps was the straw that broke the camel's back. I still browse Reddit, not gonna lie, but I don't contribute anymore. And my mobile browsing will likely stop entirely once Apollo stops working tomorrow. I'm using Lemmy as a substitute, but also using this whole thing as a general opportunity to use social media less... less time mindlessly browsing reddit, more time doing things I actually enjoy.
