  • Stardew Valley Turns 10: The Big ConcernedApe Interview - IGN

  • This game to me will always remain as the best farming-based game I'll ever play. I originally grabbed this game in it's first year so I've been there since Year 1 of this game and I think it was one of the few games I've bought for full price too. Haven't regretted it.

  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • So this account is not my first rodeo. I've been off and on the fediverse.

    I think it's been an interesting experience. I believe there's still more to go and be done 3 years in. I think there should be more tools available to deal with assholes than hoping and praying moderators deal with it, considering how moderators operate more on a "when I have the time to" than "I need to do this for the sake of the community I'm upholding the values of".

    Mastodon didn't stick for me, it was too decentralized for my tastes. I haven't tried anything else because if I didn't like X/Instagram for example, I'm not going to like their Fediverse versions either because they're not my platforms of choice.

  • Welp, there you go. But, I never touch that shitty X platform and I don't dare register an account there ever again to really care looking. Too much drama and cringe on that platform that has a sad stranglehold on many people's lives.

  • What subscription based services are actually worth the money?

  • I'm not paying overpriced movie tickets. They've lost my business there.

  • What subscription based services are actually worth the money?

    Jump

  • Disney+ - During Black Friday when they give out $5 a month for a year offers only. SiriusXM - Only when they offer $5 a month for a year deals. Netflix - Base plan only and if you've figured a workaround to watch it without ads. Tello - No-contract based phone plans for dirt cheap. Even better than Mint Mobile. ProtonVPN

    The trick is to scour for deals and offers. Never pay full regular price for something and always cancel a few days before the due date so you're not charged the full amount once the deal ends.

  • My thing with FFXIV is that, so much has blown by me, that just trying to get into it now is so overwhelming. There was a friend I knew that was into FFXIV and he was one of those people that spoke about it like it is his second language. He had his friends too that were into it and it was like they've built this in-depth chemistry through FFXIV and I even watched some of his livestreams of it.

    But anytime I tried playing FFXIV, I really stuck out with this empty feeling because I never had that.

  • Sorry you've been through that.

    I've about given up on chasing multiplayer, even including friends. It never fails. Because, there would be times some friends I know are playing a multiplayer game that is big and they're all involved and I want to be involved. Then by the time I get it, they've moved on to something else and it would be a chore to have tried and get them to come back to the game I just got so we can have some of our memories poured into it.

    It would never happen, they've grounded their footing into that next game and I would be a little begrudged and eventually I'd get that game, only for the cycle to repeat.

    So, I've stopped doing that. Now I have a bunch of all of these games that were fun to have played with people on, just sitting and collecting dust because I tried playing with people I know and cared about. Now most of them play FFXIV, Escape from Tarkov or some other MMO-like game and they know I won't go there to them because I'm not a MMO player, but I was always open to play something else that was multiplayer, but they never bit.

  • We need a starterpack instance on here. I loved that subreddit.

  • Since it's a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I'm under the impression that this 'criticism' are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they're a bullshitter.

    I've done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I'm not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I've found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

    So it's likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it's a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they're bored.

    Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

    I stand corrected as someone actually pointed to the source.

  • Forums were some of the ways you gather information and become part of communities. IRCs and Chat Rooms provided by Bravenet, MSN, Yahoo! and AOL were more of the real-time ways of communicating with people as well as messenger programs.

    The only great nuisances we all came across were pop-up advertisements, dialog windows that'd come onto your screen to just advertise to you. Ad-blocking was just a dream in the early days which is one of the things I absolutely don't like about the period then.

    Websites had a lot of character to them, they went by themes, they decorated in kind to where you identified with it. Places like Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and video game websites all have character. These days, everything is too bland and linear.

    Social media was present but it was very tolerable, it's not as in your face and everywhere as it is today.

    The internet was a thing you could actually take time away from and not feel like you're missing anything, except for what was going on in your circle or community. It was sometimes exciting to come back after a few days to check e-mail and catch up that way. There was a nice balance to it. With everything 24/7 and how many things adapted to it where everyone has an app, it's nauseating and tiring to interact on a constant basis.

    As far as the uncensored part? There were places you just had to know access to, to see them. They weren't that out in the open. Plus, this was pre-cyberbullying laws where, everyone could get away with dogpiling on you so that was the wild and uncensored part of it. You just had to have some thick skin or you weren't going to have a fun time online, then again, even that has amplified where even expressing an honest non-offending opinion isn't going to guarantee you from being interacted with some no-life piece of shit at anytime.

  • I don't remember anyone taking a dump on this movie, unless they had no taste or humor. Everyone knew what it was about and took it for what it was worth.

  • Same. I don't mind the transformers themselves, well most of them that weren't based off of stereotypes anyways. The explosions were a bit much, to the point of comedy. I think there was like a scene where Optimus was running through Chernobyl (remembered it was from Dark of the Moon), it was just that things exploded around him anyways. It was unintentionally funny.

    All and any of the human interaction and scenes, they can just go to hell. Nobody cared for them and nobody cared about Sam and his struggles.

  • I don't understand how anything works.

  • You don't understand rules either. Like Rule 1.

  • What is the definitive way to play certain games?

  • There's probably romhacks out there that do that.

  • I won't disagree that the Wachowskis had a weird way of piecing together the story. Not to mention, all of this stuff was released in one year which is impressive but also made things very convoluted.

  • Familiarity.

    It was a pain in the ass for me to even try to get people I knew to even try Discord, if they weren't already on it. They just love their Facebook too much to even take a moment to poke their head out and see the alternatives.
