  • You feel that? You feel it slipping?

    When you have to be this hands on with your site, manipulating it, it just means your circling the drain… slowly working your way down.

    It’s going to get exhausting putting out these little fires constantly. If only they had a group of people that would happily do the moderation for them… for free.

    But why even acknowledge it if you’re just going to lie about it. Cringe.

  • I haven’t stopped but I’ve slowed down. Pretty natural considering I’m in my early 30’s. Between having two kids, taking on more responsibilities, not taking hangovers as well, and all our friends having less time as well, I drink a fraction of what I did in my early 20’s.

    I’m much more productive as I get up fairly early even on weekends now, and generally feel like doing something instead of being tired/hungover. That’s good because now is the time to spend time with kids and set up myself for the rest of my life.

  • Right. One of the best things about Diablo 1 and 2 to me were being able to grind a bit, and noticing how much stronger you were after you leveled a few times. I remember my first play through in Diablo 1 I got my ass beat in Act 4… so I went back and reran Act 3 portions and leveled a few times which helped a lot.

    Your character never feels stronger, and you don’t really get rewarded much for leveling in D4… because you make everything else stronger too when you level. So that’s a big bummer for me, even though I was excited about at first

  • Shoot your shot and if what you described happens then move on. If they do that before you took your shot then that’s on you and it’s time to move on.

    There’s probably lots of partners that we would’ve ended up with if things had gone different, but that’s life.

  • I see that those people will eventually move to another platform and it will be there.

    Yeah, it’s surely a loss in the short term. Just makes me sick to think about Huffman getting rich off the content so many others created and moderated. Reddit hasn’t even done a very good job creating a good platform. The just bought out Alien Blue and have made that shittier ever since. Same with old Reddit, it was so good because it was simple yet effective, and they’ve slowly been destroying that for some time.

    Monetizing ruined a great thing and they shouldn’t benefit from that.

    THEY ruined Reddit and a good thing. Had they not done that, all the content and users would be there. They’d still be making money. They just want more and have been compromising the product on their end and have been held up

  • The quick version of that is I’m enjoying it, but it’s no Diablo 2.

    To me, after about 30 hours of play… I don’t like how everything scales with you and I’m not crazy about the way stats and mechanics are set up, but other than that it’s enjoyable.

  • I agree, well said. Shame on Reddit for what it did, but shame on them for putting up with it.

    I loved Reddit but it was slowly getting worse, then suddenly way worse. My time with Reddit died with Apollo.

    Lemmy isn’t Reddit, but it definitely itches that scratch for me. Like fuck if I ever give Reddit any traffic myself anymore. Bridge burned, I have no problem walking away.
