Ori and the Blind Forest + Will of the Wisps, hands down

Edit: behind the scenes soundtrack

I’m honestly not sure. I know my pickiness is making this really difficult and I might have to comparomise somewhere, but I’m not a fan of the asus chakram design that much. I’m hoping to get away from annoying quirks anyways, so maybe it wouldn’t be for me either lol

I think I definitely have more of a relaxed claw, I used to have a suuuuuper bad claw grip but it got slightly better over the years

I use all 3 for a lot of games, so going down to 2 would be tough. It would probably have to have a lot of perks to make up for that

Oh, I forgot to mention that I love heavy mice, at least right now. Maybe because it being heavy makes it feel more premium and so less cheap? So I have a lot of weights put in this mouse

Oh man 3rd person is my favorite, so boy do I have a list for you. It’s so hard to keep this short lol

• Control Ultimate Edition
• Hogwarts Legacy
• Any of the Zelda games (but really the classics, so using an emulator)
• Star Wars Fallen Order + Jedi Survivor
• Splinter Cell games
• Warframe
• Vindictus
• Black Desert Online
• Assassin’s Creed games (I enjoy both the “og” games and the “new”)
• Risk of Rain 2
• Valheim
• Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
• Outriders - got a lot of hate, but our group of 3 had a lot of fun in 155 hours for the cost
• Tomb Raider games
• Star Wars Battlefront 2 Classic

Absolutely fucking glorious!

It makes me so happy seeing reddit come together against this bullshit

This has me really, really interested.

For someone like me who used reddit exclusively for finding information, would this be a replacement that is the same or better? I never like random clickbait articles or sources that are sketchy, and I never know which are legitimate good sources of information, so I just stuck with reddit

I loved reddit because I would be able to find dozens of threads about my question, with dozens of comments and discussions around the subject. I could read through real enthusiasts answers and actual genuine experiences, which I consider extremely valuable. I take each comment with a grain of salt since obviously one random internet person might not be right, so I read many comments and put them together in my head, to decide on a best solution

Another reason is because I could almost always find an answer to my specific question. Super specific niche computer problems with answers that won’t break your PC, custom rom for OnePlus 8t, yubikey configuration, bitwarden, financing, best money management software, cooking, intermittent fasting, I could go on

But, I didn’t just use it for information, I also used it to get help about something (like asking questions or following up on a discussion) - but that’s probably more going to be replaced by kbin

Kind of, but not fully. It’s more like I’m aware that the reality is I have to start being careful even if I’m still considered “young”, more like don’t do any stupid shit

I swear, since the day I turned 28, anytime I stand in 1 spot for more than 30 seconds where I lock one of my knees, if I then adjust or move, I get fuckin rice crispy knees LOL

I had my gallbladder out in my late 20s, but that’s more caused by gaining 50 lbs in college and then losing 20 lol

Other than that, that’s basically it so far, thankfully. I don’t really have back pain or other stuff. I have a sedentary job (I’m in IT) where I sit at a desk almost the entire work day (we do 1 walk), but I also can take a 1.5 hr break if I go to the gym instead of 1h, so I do that instead, which helps my health. I’m trying to do tennis on Tues and Thursdays as well

Since you touched on a subject I’ve been torn on, so you will continue using reddit as a source to look up information - what if you have a follow-up question or anything that would be easier to continue discussion on reddit, in order to solve problems? Or will you strictly use reddit to look up information across threads, read comments, and that’s the most they’ll get?

Eventually, I hope that the fediverse/kbin will have so much more content that I can switch to that instead

There are just sooooo many niche questions and answers that I can find on reddit, and not just 1 person’s opinion, but like 10. Literally anything from questions about tinting your cars windows, to birthday ideas for an engineer who loves cars, to christmas ideas for people who have everything already, to how to get yubikey working with oneplus8t, to real study tips for certifications, to that very very specific issue that’s crashing your PC but can’t figure it out. I want to continue finding information given from people who are genuinely interested in sharing and teaching, not making profits

That’s my only gripe bc google sucks ass. Curious to see how you’re handling it

This has to be bumped up higher, I think people are still deleting their accounts before making sure their comments are either staying deleted or rewritten!!!

Can you provide a link to the “noise” memo that was leaked? I must’ve missed it because I haven’t heard of this. If it convinced you and was the final straw to delete your account, I’d be interested in seeing it as well

I’m more set on overriding all my comments, but I’m still on the fence about deleting the whole account. At least, once I know with 100% certainty that they won’t be reverted back to their original states (if possible)

I loved the way you wrote this for some reason. Very clear and well-informed

Probably like most of us, I use reddit as my search for quite literally almost any question or research I do - and this was done multiple times a day

I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do to find information. I absolutely LOVED reading real people’s real and genuine with anything. Tech, cooking, intermittent fasting, specific games, guides, custom android roms, careers, I could go on forever. And I would look across dozens of threads and even more comments, and then smash them together in my head to come up with the most likely accurate answer to my problem. And let’s not forget when dbags or misinformation is dowvoted to oblivion!

As a techie, I can’t even count on my hands how many times I have found someone random person having the same completely random and specific PC issue that I had - and they showed what they tried, what didn’t work, then I look in comments and find 6 different valid potential solutions. It was absolutely glorious and so useful

I hope that somehow, something even greater emerges from all of this that fills in this “need”. I don’t think reddit will ever be the same, and now I’d feel dirty using it to find information even if most of it will probably still be there

EDIT: wanted to add that I’m also worried because reddit was so easy to use and user friendly (at least in the ways we modified it lol) which made it really easy for people to join and add to the mass amount of information on the platform. I’m concerned that kbin/lemmy won’t work as a true replacement because they don’t seem nearly as straightforward
