Ori and the Blind Forest + Ori and the Will of the Wisps. So much can be said

Zelda Ocarina of Time. I was growing up when it came out and I was so little I couldnt’ really play it yet, so I watched my big brother play it. Whenever he let me try, I woudl just run around on Epona around Hyrule Field in circles lol

Control, just so much fun

MMOs: Vindictus, BDO, and Lost Ark. Just with playing them for 2+ years ea, that creates a lot of fun and happy memories with the people I played with

One of my favorite parts about reddit is people will always be there to call out your BS, whether it be via downvotes or a comment. I always appreciated that because more times than not, they will tell them they’re wrong and explain why, sometimes even with sources. A lot of the time, they redirect people to better sources of information, like a telegram group about a custom android rom

Of course, this isn’t true 100% of the time, not even downvoted comment is wrong - like the other person commented, it’s fair to take it with a grain of salt

That’s why my solution for this is to research a topic EXTENSIVELY by reading tons of threads and comments about it, put them all together in my head and consider them all, and then decide on the best outcome/answer based on all the research combined. That way, I don’t just rely on 1 person’s response and hope they’re right. For most things though, them being wrong might not even make a huge negative impact

I’ve found that Redditors also generally have our backs - they warn us about stuff to do or not to do, that companies don’t warn us about because it would otherwise profit them

I’ve been on the fence about wiping my account as well. It’s just hard for me - my history, wholesome interaction with users, friends made, how many people I’ve helped, I’ve written a few guides. Man it just sucks. (the largest guide I’ve written, for Vindictus, is partially outdated, but also I put in sooooooo much effort into it and I’m really proud of it. maybe I’ll download and save as a .doc or something)

I think I just need to hear someone’s stance on it, hear their points, and be persuaded

I also need to figure out -when- to do that if I end up doing it. I assume before the 30th, but I’m not sure if some have started doing it already, and why

Bro same here hahaha i’ve had to catch myself trying to google (aka use reddit) stuff I want to find information about, like 3 times already

I would rather just not look up information and figure it out myself, than use real google search to find information. Fuck their infested clickbait articles and useless shitty microsoft support posts lol. Reddit has spoiled me so much

I gave up and just removed reddit Boost from my phone’s home screen. Work productivity is going up hahaha

Yeah, a lot of people to seem very open minded about Lemmy. I really hope it sticks through because I absolutely love the redditor community in general. A lot of like-minded techies, that are also in my generation (I’m a early millennial that grew up with late millennials) so a lot of interests and humor are shared :) I definitely agree with it needing to take a little getting used to, I hope more people share that mentality and give it a very fair chance

It seems comfy. I’m skeptical of the UI and UX for the website and the app (even jeroba) but I came from reddit boost which is absolutely a phenomenal experience. I hope this evolves and improves in these ways

Community feels more welcoming. I hope it continues to grow exponentially, because it’ll need it to work!

me too man, me too. such a warming feeling. fuck spez. I think it’s amazing we’re all coming together against this

I look forward to what else the community and developers will do while saying “no”

I do as well. At least the threads I’ve read through, most of the time reddit was pretty good about downvoting the shit out of a comment that has misinformation or the user is being a dbag (racist, sexist, unnecessarily negative, etc) which was one of my favorite things. I could always count on users to call out those types of comments. It made searching for answers and information so easy and also amusing

Sometimes I would run across a comment that just downvoted purely for their opinion, which was one of the problems it had, but in my opinion (10+ years on reddit), it doesn’t seem nearly as often as people claim

To answer the thread: I like it, I use Jeroba for Android but I’m a long time user of reddit boost which I think is way ahead. I’m not a fan of the website yet but I just think it’s a little confusing

Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I’m guessing that what I’ve been listening to is more “light metal” but I have no idea

I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it’s thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig

It started by playing me Sabaton, but I’ve somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?

Some of my favorites so far are:

• They Don’t Care About Us by Beast in Black (I know is based on Michael Jackson’s)
• No Surrender by Beast in Black
• Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
• My Dystopia by Beast in Black
• Presence of Mind by Dynazty
• Heartless Madness by Dynazty
• Fly Away by GloryHammer
• Night of the Werewolves by Unleash the Archers

I’m not sure why, but I think I’ve seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they’re overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical “starter metal bands”? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it’s too monotone or screamy, but I’m open to more suggestions :)
