• Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
• Stating that later this year they're going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
• That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
• Their A.I. answers integration
• Censoring users who mention 'eat the rich' and the name Luigi
• No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub's status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate

...who'd have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?

Fuck you, Reddit

Ahhhhhhh looks like the community control layout a user uploaded for FTL recently on the Deck is made for you!

I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.

But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)...with how they treated us and will continue to?

My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I'm far happier here now.

Here's an article about the plan for paid sub-reddits, on arstechnica. It was reported about a month ago

Their other plan is removing their established messages system and sunsetting it completely over the next 3 months. Instead every message including modmail will be done with their horrendous instant chat system - those stupid DMs they have there.

I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.

But now, since early December I'm done-done.

My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I'm all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.

Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.

Jerboa and Thunder.

Neither of which show any slowdown when scrolling through my post!

Ironically I felt like I had to leave a few out, I found so many interesting custom consoles lately!

I love this idea!

But I am mostly lazy.

Thanks for saying so!

I used to share these so very often on Reddit, esp on my own sub-reddit there...and it's honestly the one thing I missed about being there. I'm very glad I remembered about Lemmy and re-joined here, because it's been so much fun finding a (mostly) willing audience for this kind of post again!

I'm trying to force myself to write these only one per week, but so far the majority were only 3 or 4 days between each. I'm sticking around :)

I make sure that every game I buy on GOG is done so through Heroic, so that the team (hi, Linguin!) gets the small % of each sale. I do love that GOG have an arrangement with them - it makes me very glad there is some option. And lucky for us, that option is amazing.

As with each of these I post, I am just amazed that what I stumble over, save and share here in these posts is as interesting to others as it is to me!

Thank you for reading through and having fun :)

This is so sweet of you to say! Thank you!

Having not been alive for the era I love the most (my father showed me the old world, where it was forums and individual's blogs...dedicated sites which weren't relying on ads being shoved into readers' faces. So that's 99% of my inspiration here. I just feel continually blessed that people read these and find what I find as interesting as I do.

So thank you!

I hope you have fun with testing Junk Store, too!

And feel free to add me on Matrix, if you'd like!

Oh thank you!!!

I just use Jerboa and the desktop site, and don't notice any issue on either method. It could be your app?

To be fair I have a lot of images in there too, so that may have some impact for your app?

I keep meaning to play Museum!

I saw a little ASMR video on YouTube of a girl playing it and it looks so cute - dinosaur fossil exhibits? Yes please!

Here is the latest thread on it, on the GOG forum! No dead link here :)

From the developer:

"The open source version will remain and the Gog extension people have already paid for will continue to work. Nothing will be taken away. Nothing will be broken intentionally, that's not how we roll."

I'm the weirdo who thinks that writing these up is just the most fun I could have. Last year I did these weekly on Reddit, and I missed it a lot when I left that site. So...I'm so glad there are people here who enjoy these. I'm so glad I returned to Lemmy!

Heroic will be a great way for you to get those games working on your Steam Deck!

Thank you!

You might be right, at least they won't go anywhere until I do decide where to back them up in one collection. If you remember, or come across it, let me know!
