The big difference with Reddit -> Lemmy and Twitter is there’s way less reliance on specific accounts migrating.

My most productive usage of Reddit was as a fast, easy way to find good information on pretty much any subject - at least as a starting point. Anything from home DIY stuff, to building a PC, to self-help and fashion advice

It would be wonderful to have a version of Reddit that didn't have a crazy profit motive and was focused on the users.

Hopefully they make the next version easier to hack.

I’d be curious to see the numbers. Has it made an impact? Even the blackout had a pretty minor temporary drop in activity.

It has been nice to watch this place grow. Hopefully Reddit’s continued missteps continue to guide people here.

You’re going to run into video game preservation issues with or without physical media. I’ve been playing through the GBA/DS catalog and some of the games are selling at prohibitively high prices. Not that I needed a lot of nudging to find another way to play the games…

Yep, I’ve had similar experiences with handhelds even for games that I own. I could play Metroid Fusion on my SP and get cramps in both of my hands trying to hold it.

Or I could just find a way to run it on the DSi.

Probs going to get Elden Ring finally. I have a lot of good games to play through this summer.

If it’s going to be just as gnarly as sharing a Facebook link outside of Facebook, then I’ll bet people are just going to share Twitter links less often.

I started Chrono Cross on the Switch. It’s kind of janky, but the story is good so far. Combat system is cool too.

I also started Phoenix Wright on the DS. I’m loving the characters. The Samurai Case was crazy.

I’m just getting rolling with the DS library, so I haven’t played a ton yet. Really liked Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Looking forward to playing Order of Ecclesia next.

Tetris DS is also super good.

Finished the first Phoenix Wright and started on the second one. Loving this series. My favorite name encountered this week is a cop named ‘Dustin Prince’ lol

Also started Professor Layton and the Curious Village. My brain is bad at puzzles.

Lol the PC I built just last year is at or below the recommended settings. Life comes at you fast…

I played this as a kid and got decently far into the game before I got stuck.

I started working my way through the GBA and DS library last month. I’m excited to revisit this game as an adult.

City leaders hope to catch who’s behind the wheel with traffic cameras. A 2022 change to state law allows cities to use speed cameras in areas designated as a "restricted racing zone"

It begs the question as to why so many hoops have to be jumped through to allow speed cameras in the first place.

We’re so averse to curbing dangerous driving.

I started and finished Metroid Dread last week. It was such a joy. Definitely my favorite in the series now (previous favorite was Metroid Fusion). I’m going to revisit Metroid Fusion and then I’ll probably replay Dread on Hard.

Finished Dragon Quest V on the DS last night. I’m glad I pushed through because the late game was actually pretty fun. So cheeky having a character named Dr. Agon. Definitely made me laugh.

I actually finished Metroid Fusion this morning. It's only a 4-6 hour game, so definitely give it a try if you have any interest. I played on a Nintendo DS. It's probably my top GBA game, but Metroid Dread is my new favorite in the Metroid series for sure.

I haven't played any of the newer Dragon Quest games, so I can't really compare them. It was just alright. Kind of grindy and the story wasn't as good as I was hoping for. I don't think I'll be playing through any of the older ones any time soon, but maybe some day.

I’m excited to play Octopath at some point. I’m probably going to start with the second one. Heard it was better and the stories between 1 and 2 aren’t really dependent on each other.

I had the exact same experience. I tried Tunic last year and I was like “nope, I’m not doing this to myself again.” It gave me the same feeling as Link’s Awakening as a kid.

So triggered.

Oh hey, I just finished Chrono Trigger for the first time on Saturday! I bought a DSi on eBay and this was one of the games I wanted to play the most on it. Cheers!
