True, browsing here has made me realize just how toxic and low quality reddit threads were. The users here feel a lot more mature and disagreements can lead to discussions, while on reddit some 12 year old would just reply with "L take" and downvote you :D

"thanks for the gold, kind stranger"

What types of games are you playing? Sounds like you are describing a generic AAA "live service" game, there are plenty of fun games but you have to search for them in a sea of soulless corporate cashgrabs. I would recommend trying games by smaller developers. If you want to play with friends I would recommend indie co-op games like risk of rain 2 or deep rock galactic. Or maybe you are just burnt out on gaming? Never hurts to take a break, try another hobby for a bit and come back reinvigorated

LTT makes good videos that are hidden behind obnoxious thumbnails. I hate how it's sometimes impossible to tell what a video is about because the title is so vague, but I understand why they do it. He has a company to run, he has employees to pay. He has said multiple times that he doesn't like it, but it would be a stupid to not do it because a bright colored thumbnail with a face going :O gets way more views than anything else. Clickbait haters are such a small minority that it's worth doing because 95% of people don't care

Reddit was already full of repost bots and karma farmers when the only reward was fake internet points, the site will become completely unusable if they add real money into the mix

Those games were such a fever dream. I genuinely have no memory of what happened in any of them, I just vaguely remember controlling an army of eyeball men with drums

I can't pick one so here's some of my favorites:
Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Devils Never Cry
Tenebre Rosso Sangue
The Hot Wind Blowing
And of course, Bury The Light

I upvote my own stuff because on reddit something having 0 upvotes means someone downvoted it, so i associate having 0 points as "bad" even though that doesn't make sense here because downvotes are shown separately :D force of habit

Upvote = "I like this"
Boost = "I think other people will like this"

Fedditors is good because it also includes lemmy users

https://kbin.social/m/cat@lemmy.world/newest if you want to see Fluffy a bunch of times

lol I didn't realize it was dark reader I just thought that upvotes were bugged on mobile :D thanks for pointing that out, now I can actually see what I have upvoted

Either platinuming sekiro or beating devil may cry 5 on dante must die difficulty, I'm not sure which is better. Platinum sounds more impressive, but according to steam achievement stats dmc5 dmd is rarer so I guess I'll pick that one

when users talk about problems/culture/anything specific to their instance, they don't tend to specify which instance they are talking about. which makes things confusing for users seeing the post on other instances.

this can be added with kbin enhancement script. OP shows up as thebestlettuce@lemmy.blahaj.zone for me.

searching for communities on a lemmy instance only shows communities from lemmy instances, and the same for kbin.

the magazine search seems to find lemmy communities just fine. If i search "cats", for example, I can find Cats@kbin.social, cat@lemmy.world, cats@midwest.social, cats@sh.itjust.works etc.

was PCGaming toxic on reddit? i was subbed there for a while and it seemed like one of the better gaming communities to me
