The obscure videogame subreddits are what I miss the most. Made one here on lemmy for a game I love and only one other person has commented since July.

Might take mine to the movie theater later tonight when I go see Scream. Hopefully tonight I’ll get one street pass. Only person I got from the Mario movie on opening night was my friend next to me.

I still know some people that mod on reddit. Gonna ask if any were notified by reddit like these peeps lol.

And does this have any ties to the Fortnite subreddits with their own crypto stuff that came out earlier this year? I had almost modded that sub this year but decided against it when I found out they were dealing with crypto crap.

It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.

Thank god for abandonware websites

Here’s a direct link to the trailer since that website had a full size pop up that wouldn’t close for me on mobile.

It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.

I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.

You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you’ll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.

The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It’s not even worth arguing with them.

I was thinking it was licking it’s butt to trigger the cub to poop. Just guessing though.

I wonder how many of those 46% were like me at my old apartment.

They included cable tv in the monthly rent so I technically was a household that subscribed but I never once connected my tv to it lol.

Darn lol. I’ll still pick it up later tonight. I made a mastadon account finally and I’ll test it out on it!

Does that have Lemmy support yet?

Hell yeah another place to subscribe to!! Thanks for linking it

I’ll have to try there again. It’s definitely worth going through the traffic for it.

I’ve been so unlucky finding them. Each time I go to an Asian market they never have any Longan or lychee available lol.

Hopefully I can find some this week

Guess I’m happy my Toyota is the last model year that didn’t have a connection to the app that’s got privacy issues.

Thanks for linking this. Going to share it with some friends.

Earthbound did that thing with the final boss. A pirated copy would have more enemies on the screen and it would also crash before the final boss

Game dev tycoon had a thing were the pirated version of the game would be harder as it was coded that pirates would steal the games you make. I thought that last one was absolutely genius lol. You can now toggle the pirate mode in the settings to experience it yourself.

My sister was being sexually harassed online by a guy online for years. He would cyberstalk everything she did and she then tried to get the police to help after she couldn’t handle it anymore.

The cop that came to our house blamed my sister for it. Told her she must have done something to get this guys attention even though she never met him or spoke to him before.

I told another person I knew about the guy and she messaged him. The guy sent her a dick pic. She was 15.

If you wanna watch a half hour documentary about how pathetic the guy is, then please watch this video with over 500k views about him. It’s crazy to think my sister called the cops on the guy over a decade ago and because of that one cop, the guy was able to so much bad he got half a million views online for it.

That’s so true lol. Long story below but it deals with a fuck up some mods did with the old/new rules & automod.

I once had to deal with a major fuck up that the previous mods left me as they all fucked off to mod the next version of the console the subreddit was for. On the day they added me and two others, they practically said bye and good luck but didn’t give us any control of the sub. They never touched the sub & the two other new mods quit or didn’t touch the sub too. Was fun to be the sole mod with a subreddit of 5 million people for like 5 months…

The issue was that on the day before the old team fucked off, one of them changed the automod to automatically remove any post that dealt with support. It was set up that so the “support help” flair that any user could pick, would trigger the automod to remove it and then warn the user they would be banned if they didn’t post it in the correct support thread.

Buuuuut the automod stated the rule wrong compared to the New Reddit version and mobile app people were flocking to modmail freaking out that they were about to be banned for trying to ask help to fix their console. AND it never stated what support thread or gave a link to it which made everyone ask on modmail for that too.

I had to deal with hundreds of modmails alone while learning how to code automod since the old mod refused to fix it even though I stated how people were freaking out. Thankfully I got help from somebody else that gave me tips on automod and how to correctly code it.

It turned out the automod was only stating the old.reddit rules and nobody had changed the new.reddit rules to match it. I used RIF to mod so I only saw the old sidebar lol.

I wanted to say all that because i realized that experience I had with basically being left to hang is how all these new mods probably have been for the last two months. All these features with no help or support from past mods would suck so much. I eventually snapped and called out all the old mods for how shitty they were for leaving one of the biggest subreddits on Reddit to a single person before leaving the team.

End of the long story lol. Sorry for making you read all that 😆 I just really hate how the new.reddit format can fuck up sooooo much shit.

I remember Reddit 13 years ago and it really was a different place. The whole calling it an app was something that annoyed me too lol.

I also still remember my first reddit experience was BaconReader on the Windows 7 phone lmfao. I’m old.

Thank God I wasn’t the only one who went WTF. That’s like one of the simplest things I learned as a mod in my first 2 days. You gotta update the sidebar twice for both versions of it. It’s been over a month since they probably took over and they still don’t know this.

I love this article but it also makes me sad like with the old r/canning mods pointing out the unsafe material the new mods left up.
