It’s only a fictional videogame! Haha! I can understand the feels though. I’ve been replaying the Mass Effect Trilogy recently and had decided to go full renegade for the lols, I got half way through the first game and realized I just wanted to feel good and decent about my choices and restarted for yet another paragon run! 😂

A giant milkshake of milk!

I need to get back into this game I’ve only ever scratched the surface and then feel like I need to start over from the beginning every time I revisit so I can remember what I was doing. I freaking love trains though.

Yeah with old.reddit and the usability of RES going away my desire to use the site will completely evaporate. Agreed on that I mostly use it for niche interest and specific game subreddits.

Though it sounds like RES is optimistic that they won’t be affected too badly: https://old.reddit.com/r/RESAnnouncements/comments/141hyv3/announcement_res_reddits_upcoming_api_changes/

That article is fantastic, read it when it was first posted and just read it again now. His closing lines hit home:

“…policymakers should focus on freedom of exit – the right to leave a sinking platform while continuing to stay connected to the communities that you left behind, enjoying the media and apps you bought, and preserving the data you created…”

“The Netheads were right: technological self-determination is at odds with the natural imperatives of tech businesses. They make more money when they take away our freedom – our freedom to speak, to leave, to connect.”

Historically Firefox but I’ve recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.

Oh man that’s a good call, I’ve got Slay the Spire and Stardew Valley on PC, Android, and Switch and have played a lot on all the platforms.

Have you checked out Downfall? Massive user made mod that’s pretty much a second game.

My top three according to steam are:

1. Stellaris with 1027 hours
2. Rimworld with 716 hours
3. Hunt: Showdown with 525 Hours

Although the game I’ve played the most over all my years and outside of steam is definitely Deus Ex. I’ve put a lot of time into it exploring the single player, playing the multiplayer, and messing around with mods since it came out in 2001. The same would go for Unreal Tournament 2004 which I easily had over a thousand hours in back in high school, before steam was a thing.
