The end of Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers for a game that’s over a decade old, but John’s death was a brutal cruelty that stayed with me for a long, long time.
Hey so like, new games come out like every day, dude, so…
I wanted a handheld that could run the new retro-inspired titles that keep getting me hooked, because I didn’t feel like I wanted to be chained to my desktop to play twin-stick shooters and pixel art platformers.
What keeps me hooked is its versatility and ease of use. I finally have something to take my Steam catalogue with me on trips or just sit on the couch, away from my PC.
I bought an Ember mug because I thought it was silly. I ended up really liking the temperature control. I don’t rush my coffee/tea. Now every sip is as hot as the first one.
The new Ember costs, I think, half again as much as the first iteration. It’s a cute gimmick but I certainly wouldn’t pay what they’re charging now.
I’m in my 40s and dealt with a lot of pain and gum recession because I didn’t develop good habits as a kid. Parents, teach your children to floss. Gentle, compassionate dentists are not as easy to find as you might think. Your kids will suffer later in life if you don’t emphasize good dental care.

This is what “to cut off your nose to spite your face” means. To the letter.
The wild part about this is that as much as I loved this app, and as much time as I spent on it, it was the experience with that I enjoyed. It wasn’t reddit.
Reddit’s priorities aren’t the same as someone developing an app for ease of use, readability, accessibility, etc. Reddit only cares about the backend tech that helps them control and serve ad space. And if you want to believe the bts tea that recently spilled, Reddit doesn’t even structurally prioritize coding and development in the first place.
I was an rif die-hard. Such an elegant, useful app. It’s nothing like its source site.
There’s no cutoff. Find a better dating pool.
Create your own instance and name them whatever you want.
FR tho, think about what you’re suggesting. Take all this decentralized content and homogenize it? Hard pass. BTDT.
That took me a bit to figure out- me being the suspicious type and new to fedi, I needed to investigate. So a bug prompted me to learn something about how this place functions.
For my mental health it’s better I go quietly. Focus on more positive things. Reddit doesn’t care. I think it’s reasonable to go out however suits you.
We have a duty to keep these spaces alive
What’s this “we” shit? You mean You. You, faceless corporation, have a duty to keep the communities open and accessible by as many eyeballs as your little ads can handle. Mods are unpaid employees that manage your toxic users and keep your website profitable. You pushed too hard. You took too much for granted. And now you think you’re not the next Digg.
My childhood of Sesame Street and Transformers and Dr. Suess didn’t prepare me adequately for the horrors of humanity.
But at least I didn’t become a monkey torturer. So there’s that.
It’s interesting how some things have changed over the years when it comes to chat rooms. And how other things haven’t. When I first started in The Palace the internet was new, and chat rooms were for shut-ins, agoraphobes, and nerds. We basically lived on the internet. So it made sense to some to treat the room as a place you entered and left.
Now you can sit on a discord server on mobile and have a life, pop in the middle of a conversation somewhere and then leave it. And some servers still suggest you greet a room like you live there.
It’s like, when I was a kid, having internet access to all human knowledge, anywhere, would have been a divine gift. Now we all have computers in our pockets and some people still argue about basic facts that can be resolved instantly. We treat technology very strangely.
