  • I am also an 11-year Reddit vet making the move. Welcome! This isn’t my first Fediverse experience, but definitely my most promising (I don’t really tweet, so Mastodon is kind of whatever to me). This and kbin have been great.

    I was also part of the Voat migration. I never left Reddit, as I didn’t mind them cracking down on some of the more questionable content, but I did check Voat out. I wasn’t part of the cesspool that showed up there, but I did enjoy participating in some of the smaller communities. I think what didn’t work was that it just got stale. Same reason I didn’t like Snapzu or some of the other “Reddit alternatives.” Even larger communities were just… dead. What made Reddit work was that everyone was there, and even small, niche communities had active users.





  • KOTOR is one I’ve wanted to try, but worry it’ll be a Morrowind experience for me. I was excited to hear about the remake, but that seems like it could be in limbo at the moment.

    Oblivion was far more vibrant and fantasical-feeling while out and exploring. Skyrim felt very dull and depressing, but that was also the vibe they were going for. I don’t fault anyone for not liking something. Hell, Witcher 3 should be right up my alley on paper, and I just didn’t end up enjoying it, even after giving it several hours at a friend’s recommendation.








  • Honestly, if the key smaller communities that I’m in on Reddit don’t migrate away to another platform, then I don’t know that I’ll even fully leave. Assuming the site doesn’t completely implode at this point, of course. For as many subs as I subscribe to, I really only find myself on a handful each day.

    That said, spez has really soured my taste for Reddit with the AMA. I only really use old.reddit on desktop, but I’ve used mainly third-party apps over the years, like most people, I would assume. Even if they lowered API costs to be more reasonable AND third-party app devs decided to come back, they’re still limiting NSFW access to third-party app API calls anyway, so a lesser experience either way.

    At the end of the day, I’m going to be where the community is, be that here, kbin, or whichever one rises up and has staying power and growth over the next couple years.


  • This is going to sound silly, but Clicker Heroes. There’s nothing necessarily “comforting” about it in the classic sense, but I have ADD, depression, and anxiety. Putting that on and just mindlessly clicking and resource-managing allows me to focus just enough on that, without it needing my full attention, to be able to also sort through my otherwise incoherent strands of thoughts.

    But going by art, music, experience, gameplay, etc, I guess I’d have to say Bastion from Supergiant Games. It’s definitely up there as one of my favorite games of all time.
