I’m surprised that game is over ten years old already. I’ve always thought it looked really cool but I’ve never been able to bring myself to spend the money on it. Maybe I’ll catch a good sale someday. Patientgamer syndrome here

Excuse me, this is Lemmy, where we always assume the worst and comments are almost always negative.

Yeah, I feel it too.

Lemmy fills about half the void left from when I quit using Reddit. Helps me keep up with things… but there is just so much negativity: outrage, propaganda, and outright gaslighting.

So much time spent blocking stuff just so I can scroll the feed without killing my mood. Power users, power tripping mod/admins, users solely here to push an agenda, and the hivemind are as prevalent as ever.

On a technical level, I’m not even sure if the protocol is right for this kind of service. Large instances have so much power. The barrier for entry for small instances grows every day. User privacy and control of your own content sucks.

Not saying it’s not all bad here, just saying it feels lacking. At least reddit had varied and active niche communities, where you could find better quality discussions then the default subs.

Hyped as it is possible to be for preseason. Football is back baby.

I just have to say, I really love ntfy.

Years ago I used an app called simplepush, even bought the premium key. Installed it half a year ago and now they've changed to a yearly subscription. Fair enough. So I thought about throwing something together in python just to replicate the functionality just for my personal use... but luckily I searched and found ntfy first.

Really appreciate the work.

Man, Ive been on reddit since the beginning. Watched it grow and change. These things are always bittersweet but honestly I never thought it would last this long.

My internet history is litered with relics. All the way back to the phpbb web forums, irc servers, aim/aol chatrooms, and the BBSs before them.
