I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I’ll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

I’ve had to block off entire instances too which I use the Connect app for.

I never found “all” browsable for any platform whether it be lemmy, YouTube, or reddit. It’s why subscribing has been so important to me, and filtering. Like on YouTube which I access through freetube I’ve disabled “trending” and “popular” since even the thumbnails were obnoxious for majority of the videos, and I blocked out channels to keep them from dominating search results. And on reddit what even made /r/all viewable was a reddit enhancement suite filter lists that was in the hundreds for blocking of communities, and even then was a wack a mole that required keyword filtering.

All of any platform will devolve into a shit show. As for niche subs. Yeah, not much that can be done about that if the user base is small.

Secret sequel to Bully.

I’ve never watched game awards. I don’t even know if there is even a main one. Watches speeches is boring which is why I don’t watch award shows in general.

Only goty I care about is the goty edition where the game releases with all the DLCs bundled at a discount.

Been great for using my Playstation and Nintendo controllers.

It won’t be released on PC for many more years because the double dipping strategy has worked for the past three Rockstar titles.

I have no trust in Bioware with last game of theirs I bothered to get being Mass Effect 3, and being highly skeptical of Andromeda even before the memes over the launch bugs.

It doesn’t. But, doesn’t excuse parental responsibility either, since they are the one with the final deciding factor. Especially over monetary access.

They are the one that controls finances in the household and what their kids own.

They’ll probably think we didn’t have enough DLCs and microtransactions to make people happy, and out DRM needs to be more intrusive to improve our sales.

We vote with our wallets. It’s the huge majority of the mainstream audience that also voted with their wallet by buying that makes out opinions irrelevant.

The people who care enough to complain are also largely the ones who keep buying it, so they train companies to realize that complaining is something that can be ignored because it’s all bark and no bite.

Yeah, things that weren’t called AI years back are just getting called AI now.

Yeah like others asked can you elaborate on what you were being censored for? I haven’t had issues with being censored by reddit and just started using lemmy due to wanting an alternative to try after the third party api change.

So I am curious what exactly you are posting that is getting censored if it was also considered bad enough on reddit.

Short attention span leading to doing gaming in short bursts. Sometimes I lose interest in games for months and get more into the mood to watch TV shows and movies. Then lose interest in that and move to reading then lose interest in that and going back to gaming. Rinse and repeat. Has helped me avoid the whole not having fun with games anymore threads that I’d see a lot, since my focus just naturally shifts back and forth to keep things feeling fresh.

That’s awesome news. I love these old games getting pc ports and quality of life features.

Reason I have difficulty empathizing is because I’m in the same boat as them as being a reddit user. It’s not like I’m expecting them to do something hard like a complete boycott of reddit, but just stop reddit mobile use whether its the official app or subscription options. And even provided options like rss for alerts and apps like Stealth for Android for lurking use which is a non account option where you can still get a custom feed and save posts with the only feature not being able to comment.

It’s like saying just cut down smoking during the morning. So I don’t think it’s that demanding of an ask when it isn’t even a boycott, but just saying to cut back a little.

Twitch is live streaming which is what probably makes it a challenge to block ads, and the main draw of twitch is watching live content. I’d imagine it’s easier to view content that isn’t live without ads, and people do repost clips after it’s aired where people haven’t encountered ads in contrast to live viewers.

Then look at television piracy where live viewing will have ads, but pirated content is uploaded with it stripped away. Blocking ads will be something YouTube will have to keep fighting endlessly.

I imagine they also weren’t even willing to quit using reddit for even a week or even a couple of days, since during the api protest I saw so many who got mad at the idea of being without reddit for even a day for even meme subs that aren’t a resource. Pretty much why they now find themselves in a situation of paying for a worse experience, since they showed reddit that their threats were empty.
