Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I'm also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there's a bigger investment for me to get things going here.

Dropped Reddit and never went back.

Edit: Gotta take the flow and promote !bassment@feddit.de while this post is hot. A community for Bass-Guitar players I've been building since the Reddit blackout. Come join us!

I‘ll just leave a comment to prove that I witnessed a Lemmy legend in the making.

But text games are pretty cool tho

If you were to create an AI image of Zuck I suppose it would look more realistic than the real deal.

No poop challenge

I guess that’s the American help line? To anyone that struggles with residency in Germany, there’s the Telefonseelsorge. To bring up the courage and reach out is hard, but no one will ever judge you!

Hey there! Don’t want to nitpick, but it is spelled „you‘re“ in your case. „Your“ is used when you‘re talking about possessive attribution. „Your car“ vs „you‘re (you are) driving a car“.

Alright, enough Lemmy for today.

I‘m not a fan of up- and downvotes, also but not only for the aforementioned reasons. Classic forums ran fine without any of it.

That‘s actually a smart idea. Thank you

No poop challenge were first

Moving from one company that monetizes you to another. Not the brightest idea.

I get withdrawal symptoms on a regular basis. Cold sweat, ravenous appetite, weak limbs, shaky hands. It's horrible, really.

There‘s no mention of ingame purchase revenue, so I assume they aren’t included?

I went back to PS2 era games. This was the golden era imo, where games came out in a playable state and an amazing amount of content. Right now I‘m playing a completely English translated version of Monster Hunter 2 on a private server that went live about a month ago, it’s amazing.

I did at some point, but I keep mixing it up with my native language rule for quotations. I study both german and english language and should actually know better, lol. The rules of written language are fascinating to me, so I appreciate any corrections!

I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

That’s good to know, thank you! I‘ll try to keep it in mind from now on.

I disagree, it does have a value in that it decides about the hierarchy of your comment/post. Your comment is the last one listed in this thread due to its upvote to downvote ratio.

We Lemmy now. ahu

Probably because Social Media is their ad platform.

Oh my bad! Damn, that hurts to hear 🥲 hope you‘re doing okay.

I don‘t like your tone so I‘ll refrain from further participation in this discussion. Bye

Wait til you see your x-rays!

Imo Dead Space was the last decently made mobile game. After that the F2P craze started and never stopped.

All the meme ones that keep flooding /All. I‘m at around 7 so far?

You can literally go to the woods, pick up a thick branch and start carving away. Only tool you need is a cheap knife, even an old kitchen knife would suffice for starters.

It’s just part of my personality by now and I don’t feel bad about it any more. I just keep adding skills to my repertoire and thus have a broad spectrum of things I can talk about and relate with other people.

AFAIR I made a post there, but aren‘t there other options as well? I suspect most people tend to join a community they randomly come across.

Man, those are real friends right there. I’m sorry for your loss.

If you're offering help: Much appreciated, but I'm pretty stable lately. I was just wondering who I would reach out to in a major crisis and who you folks rely on.

Sorry, second language! What would be the correct phrasing?

Yes, that‘s correct! Much appreciated!

This is such an honest and sad statement that I wish was wrong, but isn't. Whenever I try to open up to another guy, even some of my best friends, they just can't relate, or make me feel understood, I should say. Talking about depressions and anxiety with another dude feels like chatting about mathematical equations instead of being there for one another. It hurts, but I can't change it.

Mine should be Monster Hunter with roughly 2-3 k hours across the series. But single-game most played hours should be Final Fantasy XIV with a little more than 1.5k hours.

To be honest: Im not proud of any of this. Most of the time was accumulated when I was much younger and I wish I would've had the courage to engage in meaningful encounters with other people instead. Gaming used to be my main escape mechanism, which helped me get through some rough times, but held my personal progress behind by a good margin. A little playing on the side won't hurt though, nowadays.

Don‘t get me wrong: I avoided Apple for right around two decades now and just made the switch in the last couple of years because I got fed up with all the issues I kept fighting. Of course it’s a pretty personal question what you need in a device and what your priorities are. There’s never a simple answer to that. And priorities change over the years, just like mine did.

I don’t like that an iPhone is the best solution for my use-case. But it objectively is.

Magic the Gathering: Arena grabbed my attention again after our friend group picked up the cards again. When I dont play modern stuff I'll boot up my PS2 and play Monster Hunter 2 (DOS) online. Some smart folks brought back a private server for the old PS2 era games. Great Community (MHOLDSCHOOL Discord, also hosts of the Server) and a change of pace.

I agree, especially how honest people seem to be. I wish I could hug everyone in here and tell them it's okay to be sad.

I‘ve been trying to get Bassment more active, but I‘m not extensively investing hours. With a few comments every other day it’s much less of a problem.
