It's just refreshing to have finally found something that's similarly structured (not discord/Forum based) and has decent activity. Once the apps start gaining traction, and I get a better feel for navigating this whole fediverse thing... Reddits just not going to be relevant.

Majority of gamers play with subtitles turned on

That's a big part of it. And people can have so many different set ups now too. And there isn't time/funding to redo the mix for them all. There was a good article that covered some of the various reasons, I can't find it but some others...

The article I'm thinking of also mentioned mics changing, and actors not having to speak directly into it to get anything. So it opens up far more realistic acting, but makes capturing/mixing that dialogue more difficult.

What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?

Same where I grew up, worst part was the developer bought it like two decades ago, sat on it for five ish years (logged a single dirt road), then put in paved roads/utilities and a demo house for another five with empty lots cut, and the last ten or so have built maybe four more. So it's not even utilized, they cut down huge swaths of forest and it's just sat most of the time.

What's everyone playing right now?

It's got all the promise of the battlefield games just not the graphics/sound. Environment destruction, tons of weapons/attachments, lots of maps with day/night for all of em, different battlefield modes, 256 (and smaller) maps, map voting, people get kicked for cheating/racism, tight gameplay, and so on.

In my area the wheel locks have come back a little. Not as ubiquitous as I remember in the 90s, but they are back here and there. The reflectors are quite common in Colorado though. See those constantly.
