I’m a big fan of milk in most black teas and in my matcha.

You can also scour the used market for a Switch Lite in the $100 range, and boom, 3 platforms.

Most hobbies of any kind are expensive if you really get into them. If you don’t have to have new releases, even consoles and console games can be had at great discounts. I’m honestly surprised that so many people limit themselves to one platform. Even though my wife and I are in a low income bracket, we’ve managed to get a PC (nothing crazy like an “i9, 3090, 64gb RAM” PC but it is enough to play most games), Xbox One (I know, last gen), Switch, Switch Lite, and (our biggest splurge) a PS5. Don’t get me wrong, these all have been major purchases for us, as we make sub $30,000 a year, but we’ve made it work. To be fair, most people have other/multiple hobbies that divide their money, or they have other expenses that we don’t have (the big example being crazy high rent, where rent in our area is generally much lower than the national average. We moved recently but our previous apartment was only $375 a month). It’s just interesting to me that many people in our area who I talk to personally make more money than us and then say they can’t afford to have multiple gaming platforms like we do. I think the reality in that case is that it’s simply not that high of a priority for them like we’ve made it for us, and that’s perfectly okay.

Yes, I was a distro hopper up until I tried Tumbleweed for the first time. Been using it for two years now, hopped around for a year prior.

For me, yeah, it’s more about Reddit/spez’s behavior. While I was frustrated about losing 3rd party apps, I would’ve likely continued to use Reddit in some capacity. But then Reddit/spez went absolutely crazy and I decided I was completely done with it. I don’t want to be part of a platform run like that by that kind of person.

I really wish I could edit my profile from Mlem, I hope that’s coming up on their roadmap!
