  • I agree with your points generally, but I also understand the point of view of the general user. Reddit for most people is just a nice app to open while you’re lying on your couch between activities and scrolling through some interesting/fun/wholesome stuff. The API changes are completely irrelevant to the average user who doesn’t even know about third party apps. I remember a poll on r/polls about 3rd party apps and the people who use Reddit’s app was like 95% (obviously r/polls is not scientific statistics but it still shows something).

    What you’re saying is especially more relevant on platforms like Youtube, where there’s people actually having careers and their life’s work at stake because of Youtube constantly taking a dump on their platform.

    What I’m mostly here (kbin and Lemmy) for is because I believe in decentralization and an open source, free from capitalist milking, internet and I want to be a part of it and support its growth.


  • It really depends on the game and what phase I’m at currently. The games that I can dump hours upon hours on are usually RPGs or have some kind of RPG element to them. I used to spend an insane amount of time on competitive games, but I’ve grown to avoid them because of how toxic they get eventually, though I still have an itch for them now and then.

    Adulthood really decreased my playing time, more than I expected. It’s also harder for me to play for long periods without feeling unproductive and questioning what is the point of this…


  • Personally I think Cyberpunk was a flawed masterpiece, the whole world, characters, art and story (both main and sidequests) create something so beautiful and unique to me, and there were quite a few heart wrenching moments.

    I also think it’s great from a gameplay perspective, I’m a huge RPG fan and this was insanely fun to me, I’m definitely going to do at least one more playthrough once the expansion is out and I have time
