This is a big reason why I'm here as of today. I just can't in good conscience support what Reddit is doing. I've been an Apollo user since it launched out of beta. I jumped at the chance to have paid Christian twice for both the original premium upgrade. And then the Ultra one later down the road. I just adore the app. When I switched to Android I still found myself missing it terribly. Since switching back to iOS. I've averaged 15-20 hours per week just using Apollo.

End of an era :(

I have little hope if any that this will actually be a meaningful replacement for Twitter or even a competitor in the micro-blogging world. But it being Meta ESPECIALLY makes me reluctant to even try it.

Have Reddark on a tab. Seems like the number of private subs keeps dropping. :(

Are they caving or is something nefarious up like what happened to r/AdviceAnimals and r/tumblr yesterday?

I would rotate between Sync and Boost when I had Android. I think both are great and are the best reddit apps I used on Android. This makes me sad for current Android users. I was happy to pay for both when I was on there. And did so.

Time to move forward. Find a new home. I don't know if I'll never go on Reddit again. But I'm done with that place mentally and won't pursue anything on there ever again.

Very much this. There is the same jokes that pop up over and over and over again. It gets repetitive.

Stage presence is a big one for me. When I saw My Chemical Romance last year it was this big spectacle and just marvelous. Even though Gerard himself is not the best singer, it was just a fun time period. When I saw Slayer with Testament, Behemoth, Lamb of God, and Anthrax. It was the mood they created. The intensity was something you could literally feel from just the noise. They were really giving it their all as it was Slayer's farewell tour. But the crowd also kind of matters too.

And when concerts have disappointed me, it's usually been because the stage presence is okay at best but the audience has been terrible. There were some local hip-hop/rap festivals I would go to. And the bigger the festival got, the more belligerent the behavior got. You would have people pushing and shoving to get to the front. And since these festivals were always in the middle of summer. It was be unbearably humid. Then they switched to a venue that was all concrete and that just killed my knees entirely to be there for 5+ hours.

No reviews yet, this is just revealing the PS5 demo release date and the content to expect. June 12th for anyone who doesn't want to click the link.

Yeah, it is completely different than what it used to be. There would definitely be times when a hivemind mentality would get borderline insane. The first subreddit I discovered was r/atheism. And it was nice seeing other people like me. But I remember asking honestly about a girl I was dating at the time being Lutheran and wondering if it could work. Some were supportive. But some people were vile. It was then I could see how nuts it would get.

The communities are so large it has almost gotten too big for its own good. It's made the people who run the site into total monsters. I started off lurking the site about 14 years ago. And the finally made an account 3 years after. 11 years down the drain, I remember recommending the site to people all the way back then. Especially when I started discovering a lot of the meme subreddits that I would share with friends.

Trombone Champ,

The game is a bit of a challenge at first. But even if you screw up, it's so fucking hilarious. I just love it. My wife hates it when I play it. But I adore the game.

PowerWash Simulator is another one that is actually pretty relaxing for me. Some of the DLC coming looks fun too.

I've been under the impression that the next time we see a new Steam Deck it would be more of a product revision. Rather than a true sequel. I hope I'm wrong but that is going off memory.

I see what you mean. Admittedly, I'm not even 24 hours on here or Lemmy or Tildes. I'm just searching and hoping one sticks.

I made an account on kbin but it isn't vibing yet. So far, both this and lemmy.ml as well as Tildes have been the ones to step so far in this early period of trying new things out.

I remember just falling in love with the design that day. I gave Christian money as soon as I could. I had been an Alien Blue user beforehand. And I just remember being so blown away by the speed of everything too.

I've had my Steam Deck since April of last year. I love it. I love the community that has formed supporting it. The last game I beat on it was Midnight Suns. Since I got my reservation for it in July 2021. I went from about 4 games on Steam. To over 140 games.

It's probably my primary console whenever possible.

Totally valid, I am concerned that they will try and kill old reddit and RES. RES devs sounded unsure if they will be affected by the API changes. If a Reddit result comes up on a Google search I'm not going to not click on it just because it is a Reddit URL. But they definitely won't get a cent from me.

It warms my heart too when artists will stop shows because they can tell someone in the audience is in trouble.

I've been watching Demon Slayer. While I don't enjoy the pacing as much. It's still pretty good. I read the manga entirely after season 2 came out. And while I liked it. I am hopeful the anime can rectify certain decisions.

I'm very excited for this. The gameplay of 7R was so fun. And I have a pretty high tolerance for whatever weirdness Square wants to add to the games. I've played all the Kingdom Hearts games, there is (almost) nothing they can do to surprise me.

Boost was the Android Reddit client I used the most. I thought it was great. I also liked Sync a bunch too. I paid for both and would rotate between them. But something about Apollo just stuck with me.

FFXVI, Armored Core 6, Starfield (after that presentation, was highly skeptical before), Mortal Kombat 1, Alan Wake 2, and Spider-Man 2.

I think all of them look great. FFXVI is my most anticipated overall. Ever since it was revealed in 2020 I've been sold on that game.
