It was right before realizing I’m in a burnout. Too much in my private life going on, kids, housing, study, full time jobs.

The last time before that must’ve been years, but I’ve been holding it in for as long as I could, I now realize.

I prefer good gameplay are fun cutscenes. Both add value, but I preferred the newer games over the old ones, in terms of gameplay.

This doesn’t mean either of us is wrong or right, simply that it’s okay to have different preferences.

You’re completely in your right to think that. I’m also glad there’s an audience that thinks otherwise.

I get the sentiment, even though I wasn’t too much a fan of the original series. That said, while sales don’t equal quality, nor does sticking to the same thing. Changing style, direction or genre doesn’t equal lack of quality. I was quite a fan of Origins and Oddysey.

The real risk is losing the original fanbase, which did happen quite a bit, probably.

I’m in a position where I can’t access my desktop for a few months, and my Steamdeck is absolutely great for lazy couch gaming. It runs pretty much any game I play atm, and with some tweaking per game, the controls are almost always great.

But I also use my Switch from time to time. It’s a bit more portable, it’s a kind of “just works” device where I don’t need to worry about controls or tweaks, and Tears of the Kingdom runs significantly better than it ever did on my Steamdeck, last time I tried.

It sounds like a Switch would be the best option for your use case, if you’d have to pick one. Something the Switch does very well is being able to pause any game by just putting it in standby and not worrying about it. Makes it ideal to play in between doing other stuff.

I agree it’s not fair, unless there’s some human element to it that checks and corrects the AI’s choices.

That said, modern AI is pretty capable of recognising something like harassment, I’d say.

Just to be clear, I’m not defending Reddit for choosing AI over human moderation

I agree. What’s your point? I’m not defending the choice to use AI for that purpose. I’m saying AI from years ago can’t be compared to the current AI

To be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.

Imagine feeling like your phone’s brand defines if you’re poor or not lol

I like the contrast with this comment about how web is starting to do too much. I agree with both sentiments, so it would be great to find the golden mean.

In the Netherlands, it’s either “Jan Smit” (both a very common first and last name, but also a local celebrity’s name) or “Henk de Vries” which IIRC is the most common name here.

I also vaguely remember some old Dutch forum naming everyone Henk de Vries by default.

Warframe is overwhelming when starting it, but it’s also incredible to see what it offers in terms of content, all for free (for the cost of grind).

As someone who spent ~3K of hours in it but haven’t played it for months, I think it’s important to keep in mind how you wanna play it. Don’t continue the grind when you feel burned out, not playing a game for a while is fine too.

Edit sorry for the spam, kept giving me errors when replying lol

I feel like that will have more impact than a portion of the subreddits going dark for a few days. People will wait out the protest, and can go back to browsing Reddit again. They have to change something in their flow if they wanna keep using Reddit on their phone, and it’s gonna change their experience.

I’m using whatever app/platform can provide in terms of usability and content. Once Boost (or any other third party client) stops working, I’ll probably stop using Reddit too.
