The hardest part for me was figuring out how to choose and register for an instance, and those websites have been improved since I signed up. I understood pretty easily that federated instances were linked so I could access stuff across all of them through an account on one. Choosing a client app isn’t too difficult either, just shop for features. The scene: Lemmy is full of commies, Mastodon is threatened by Threads, R.I.P. kbin, Bluesky aspires to be better Twitter. So basically, choose instance, choose client, curate feed, start posting (optional?). Did I miss anything?

Skyrim over 2000 hours easily, 400 some into Assassins Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon Wildlands; I have no idea how many I put into Vindictus, which is an MMORPG I played for more than a decade. For phone games I’ve probably put the most time into the Kingdom Rush series, best TD out there.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey- though I don’t think I finished it. But definitely had fun playing around with builds. Dark Souls, same thing. Generally it feels weird to start a game loaded with kit so I’m more likely to just do another playthrough.
