I might pick it up on a deep sale some time, short games are great as palate cleansers so I don’t mind that.

It’s just sort of prisoner’s dilemma. Lot’s of people won’t do it. I’m just being realistic. And in the reality where the percentage of people who are likely to attempt to delete or “poison” their accounts is as miniscule as it is, it will have absolutely zero impact on the traffic Reddit receives. Yes, even if each of those accounts produced hundreds of Google hits. But maybe I am more concerned with preservation of information and helping people than spiting Reddit. What would be great would be for people to replicate the useful answers they made on Reddit on here so we can show up in searches and actually provide a valid alternative. In general I think we would be better off trying to build this place into something better than caring too much about our old Reddit accounts.

Its impact on Reddit’s business is absolutely negligible. A handful of people "poisoning* their accounts will not even register on their traffic monitoring. But the answers to questions or solutions to problems they may have posted over the years could help dozens or even hundreds of other people.

To me that tradeoff isn’t worth it. It’s throwing rocks at the armoured car driving past just to feel like you are doing something. The only one you have a chance or hurting is your neighbour.

Beautiful.

It’s on my to-do list actually! Mainly because of the art. Looks like a somewhat prettier Blasphemous-clone.

What’s stopping you?

Inertia is a hell of a thing. Also TikTok has one of the most efficient algorithms of any social media, and I doubt it would be easily replicated. Especially if you’re doing it in the classic Fediverse spirit of trying to be non-invasive, non-addictive, caring for the users’ privacy etc.

Yeah, and that’s really the crux of it. To 90% of people, the content is all that matters. That’s why comments like: “hey, you like TikTok? Why don’t you try Loops instead?” or “Check out Pixelfed, it’s a bit like Instagram!” are unlikely to work. For most people, it’s just a strictly worse version. The same thing but without the content. Why would they downgrade for no reason?

You have to care about something external to the core experience of consuming content to actually be here. That’s why our population at the moment is, well, just us here *gestures around.* You have to care about FOSS, or decentralisation, or anti-corporatism, or really value the more human interactions you get in a smaller setting with fewer bots, or actually enjoy putting in more work and get less served to you by an algorithm.

Most of the people with those values I believe will eventually trickle over here naturally. The rest though, this is a really hard sell for.

Exakt. Telenor är ju under upphovsmaffians häl, varför skulle de låta ett dotterbolag göra annat?

If anyone knew, you wouldn’t have to ask. Everyone’d already been here.

I was initially going to rattle off quite a few suggestions, but really, none are more beautiful than REPLACED I think.

Because it’s on .ml and cm doesn’t want people to go there. Notice how this wasn’t made using the actual cross-posting function.

Låt oss inte få SD-ministrar, låt inte SD få mer makt och låt oss kasta ut dem istället?

Snälla låt detta inte ske och låt oss kasta ut packet istället.

Är ju bra detta, borde kanske gå gjorts ännu tidigare.

a sign near the stall read: “It is for entertainment only. We do not intend to guide in an inappropriate way.”

Sure…

It’s very difficult to commit the time to a legitimate game knowing that option is on the table and has zero downsides

I guess that depends on the reason you play. I just thought Blitzball was kind of fun to play 🤷‍♀️

The ghost fish are terrible, there are some locations in particular that are a bit evil, but there are actually a few 100% safe ways to deal with them.

I tried replaying FFX a few years ago for the first time since back in the day, but quit while doing all that bullshit. Although Blitzball I actually enjoyed. But the other minigames are devised by satan himself and programmed and designed by blind interns. Chocobo racing especially is atrocious.

Ninja Gaiden 2

Chapter 3 is absolute dogshit, full of unfun Van Gelf encounters and topped by Gigadeath - one of the he worst bosses in gaming. When he doesn’t kill you with his bullshit his glitchy ass falls out of the combat arena 25% of the time. And a successful fight with him has you slowly plink him down with a longbow. In a Character Action Game.

Close second is Chapter 9. The jungle is a hellhole of unfun fights and bullshit, including water segments, jellyfish-landmines, awful worm enemies, boring pillbug enemies and another boss fight from the absolute bottom of the barrel in the tunnel worm.

Those two really are mental blocks whenever I think of a replay.
