It's kind of a cult classic. I remember it getting a lot of praise on neo gas and that's also why I played it. But in the larger arena of video game culture it's kind of just a footnote.
Is this automatic? I got a windows 7 key like 11 years ago, then did the free windows 10 upgrade. I am planning on rebuilding my PC, including a new mobo. Will I be able to activate through my MS account?
I think we're just as bored. We may in fact be worse off for having increased our "interest threshold" such that we must seek more and more stimuli in order to stave off boredom.
I think it might be a bit of an xy problem. I myself have hoped for the runaway success of the fediverse. But I realized it's not actually some absolute number of users I want. What I want is for the fediverse to have that same "there's a community for anything" that reddit had.
I'm starting to hope the fediverse doesn't get too big now, honestly. There's a certain number of eyeballs that is going to attract people interested in exploiting those eyeballs, and I don't know if the fediverse is robust enough to fight them off as the pot of gold they see begins to overflow. It's hard balance to find. And maybe the decentralized aspect of the fediverse does mean that it can't be fully assimilated by capital, I don't know.
I spent most of my time on Reddit in the learn programming subs, so I'm glad at least that demographic has moved here. I'm almost 34, don't work in tech but want to, don't use Linux but want to (and if the rumors of windows adding ads to the OS are true I will switch to Linux full time except for gaming). I wasn't really that invested in the reddit API changes but I liked reddit when it was more under ground and wild west. I used to spend a lot of time on rcsources (those days are behind me regardless, though). So I wanted to see if there was still room on the internet for the outlaw tech cowboy shtick, and Lemmy stepped up to the plate.
