I still have mixed feelings about deleting one’s whole comment history, though i also did that when I left reddit.

Same. I also did that. Mass edits + delete. I wish there was a way we could collectively move all that history to a non-commercial platform.

it’s the right thing to do, but the amount of information lost because of greedy leadership is super sad.

Also same. I backed up all my user data for sentimental reasons, but that’s hardly enough to be of any utility on its own.

I really did feel like I was participating in a community, and was doing something positive with all my posting. I was just treating reddit like any other forum from my youth, not really thinking how ofc it would become commodified and enshittified.

I feel like such a fucking idiot sucker. Over a decade putting in time outside work, lunch breaks, toilet breaks, morning, evening, just contributing to an IPO package.

I don’t think it’s fair to tie history that far back to current people. Maybe it’s context for what’s going on now, idk, but it’s wrong to point to it as some sort of gotcha.

There’s more than enough damning history just looking back one week.

Their only utility now is in five year old comment threads discussing niche topics, and that can only stay relevant so long.

Ah that’s a relief

Welcome. Your username is a joy to pronounce in my head

Social platform capitalism. Yupppp

I mass edited my 10+ years of honestly pretty heavy commenting, not to protect myself, but to remove their utility to the reddit platform.

Yeah the content is fine, but there’s too much of it for a comment thread. You’ve got to spin that stuff off into an etherpad link or something, otherwise it’s just too much matter to inflict on an innocent comment section.

Diablo 1 is like actually scary. I love all those other games but they are farther on the Halloweeny/spooky/edgy spectrum, if that makes sense. I mean so was the original, but in that one I felt like an insignificant little mote, a pathetic ember of humanity, up against overwhelming evil.

The PoE aesthetic definitely comes closest to capturing that feeling. But like you said, it’s more of a power fantasy once you get going.

Wow yeah, I can say that going from Eternal to 2016 is the “wrong order” since the sequel really _ really_ ups the tempo and ferocity of its predecessor.

I think I prefer 2016 overall, because I’m just like mentally too slow to fully enjoy Eternal. I don’t have those reflexes anymore lol

That’s curious because I remember Blood Money feeling really good, especially if I compare it to my memories of the original (don’t bump the banners in front of the building - the physics cause my PC to seize up!).

I’ll have to check it out again so I can ruin my memories.

I’m trying to get back to that. Actually close to it now than I was 5 years ago, so that’s cool

Is this hell? Is this comment thread hell? Does it never end?

There it is.

So glad I skipped out on buying one of these.

I got a used dumb tracker for $8 (looks like it’s gone up since). No internet, no synching. Perfect for workouts.

OpenSnitch, do your thing!

Wow good job sticking through that. Honestly it sounds like you went through a bit of a trial by fire for a first setup. I’m not sure I would have had the patience, but happy you made it to the other side!

If only there was a company out there that did it. Alas…

Zuckerberg requested that she arrange either a “peace rally” or a “riot” during his visit. Facebook’s CEO never explains the request, but Wynn-Williams speculates he wanted "to test out how effective his product is in turning Facebook’s online tools into offline power.”

Yo what

E: oops didn’t mean to reply. But yeah that’s so needy
