Yup! Same here. Had someone recommend kbin on mastodon so I made my way here. Deleted 2 10+ year old Reddit accounts and cut all ties. I went in anonymously to check out what happened with that submarine but otherwise cut all ties. The amount of my life I've taken back by dropping that site is incredible. I didn't realize how much of my time was spent doomscrolling there. Now I'm playing guitar, playing games and building web dev projects with all the time I'm saving. I never got into Twitter but from my understanding a lot of people have had my same experience dropping that site too.

I watched half way, got PTSD from season 10 and put on s1e1 and fell asleep. I've liked this season so far, being fan since literally 1999 (holy shit...) but I couldn't make it through this episode. It was Naturama all over again.

I felt similarly. Exploring is just another thing to "do" to get credits/nanites. It was cool to see genuinely new things like the huge Dune-styled worms but once you see one you've seen them all.

That extends to base building too. I have no reason to build a base anywhere else in the galaxy once I have a capital ship that does all my crafting for me. Except resource collecting, I guess. But meh, different strokes for different folks. I don't think there's been a non-MMO continually-updated game that I've come back to as often as NMS but coming back is usually pretty short-lived.

Hearing about this got me to reevaluate whether I needed Prime and I ended up cancelling altogether. Just a heads up, if you cancel mid-subscription (I was on the yearly plan) you get the option to cancel service immediately and refund what you didn't use. I was supposed to re-up in May and ended up getting $63 refunded.

I had a Thinkpad T440s that had a ridiculous battery life. I think I picked I picked it up on eBay for like $300 4 or 5 years ago. I tinkered with it and ended up breaking it and didn't have time to put it back together/fixed up but that thing was a dream. I have a "desktop replacement" PC that's huge and unwieldly and I wish I just kept my T440s with an upgraded display and like 4 days of battery life.

Hey, you do you. My days of slamming things I don't like are over. Not everything's made for me and I accept that but there are definitely similartities I can draw between the two. I told my brother that I don't mind the off-the-wall goofy episodes when the What-If machine is involved but the knee-jerk transitions between actual episode and goofiness just isn't for me. Glad there's a new season and that there's an audience for episodes like that though!

Gristle - Thanks for the recommendation!

I have a Kindle paperwhite without ads, worth paying extra imo. I use Calibre to convert any books I “find” to mobis and send via email through Calibre. I’ve also done this with manga and it’s been working well. Loves me my paperwhite.

I guess you're right, hahaha!

What do you run textures at? I'm always on the lookout for the best SD1.0 setup for me.

Same! Didn't even realize I had a bunch of replies to this comment til just now. Feels good to be free.
