I moved from Google Podcasts (which is pretty good) to AntennaPod, which is FOSS and honestly, pretty damn solid

I've been on Manjaro for 3 years, honestly love it, it's treated me great for gaming and given me so little to have to fix that my wife has also been running it for 2 years.

Realistically, it doesn't make sense for folks to be using bleeding edge distros like Arch for a server anyway. LTS of Debian or even Ubuntu are definitely the right answer

By Odin's beard!!! That's an absolute LIST of impressive and impactful enhancements!
I feel like I owe you several drinks after reading all of that!

I feel a bit of both ways, on one hand, I love having a familiar universe that I can throws hours into and making it my sort of gaming home base (FFXIV). But when I play something else, I get nervous about them being huge or time demanding. I've been enjoying finding and binging through shorter games that I can knock out in a couple days, experiencing other worlds and stories, but not having to commit substantial life to them.

There's an amazing amount of trying to make games "worth it" by adding tons of side content, and my ADHD ass can't ignore it...So when a game doesn't do that, like Singularity, Remember Me, or even Alan Wake, I love it. A nice, linear, intentional story with none of the "help my farm from the rats" bs.

Infinity was my absolute favorite, I shall watch this app with great interest 😁 lemme (Lemmy?) know if you need any additional testers

I wish so badly I could code, I spent 8 years trying to understand it and get into the industry, but it never quite clicked in my brain. Soooo I do IT infrastructure. I wish so badly to contribute code

I hate that "Games as a Service" are preventing the longevity of games. I worry about all of the incredible stories and experiences that these games provide being very quickly lost to time.

I mean...Reddit was taken offline by subs going private, and they had forewarning this was going to happen. Lemmy is handling a veritable monsoon of new users

Thank you! Added it 😊 https://beehaw.org/post/524147 I'm still learning Lemmy and wasn't sure how to handle crossposting and I'm sure I linked it wrong 🙃

Thanks a ton for the suggestion!

I didn't wait for the AMA to get hammered

I still love breaking Oblivion
Spells that nuke entire rooms? Check.
Jumping over city walls? Check.
Wearing armor that makes you permanently invisible and multiplies all damage you do? Check.
