Yep, that’s also one of the reasons I came here. This feels like old reddit. I like the plethora of apps that are fully customizable, also like the old days of reddit. It really was a great time until it wasn’t. This community is much more open. Transparency here is a wonderful thing, something that reddit lost a long time ago.

I can help you spoof the API and get your favorite third party app going again, if you really want. I was using RIF up until a few weeks ago. Still works too, I just got banned and decided it wasn’t worth it to start over.

Well, I guess to be completely honest with you guys

I got banned from reddit after 13+ years and over half a million comment karma. Same username if you want to go take a trip.

There was a post in the game collecting sub and the guy, a European, had a MAGA hat in the background. People were going back and forth, as they do. One guy then says that a European having a MAGA hat as a novelty souvenir is fine. To which I responded, Nazis only belong 6 feet under. I was slightly worried that a simpleton may interpret it as a threat, but I figured there’s no way someone with common sense and critical thinking skills would think that.

Well, of course this one hit a little close to home to the admins, big surprise, and I was permanently banned. 13 years and 500,000 points later, I get banned for saying nazis deserve to be dead.

Honestly, I’m not surprised given how the site was going. Posts being removed, comments being deleted. That used to happen back in the day but never to the degree that it is happening now.

My only chuckle on the way out is knowing I modified the reddit API to use third party apps long after they were shut down.

I do wish this place was a bit more active, but it’s still pretty good. It’s not like I don’t have alts on reddit anyway. My only regret was not selling my account for a ton of money before it got banned. Oh well lol

Oh yeah, watching my girlfriend play her Switch 1 now is agonizing. Her birthday is coming up and I think I know exactly what I’m going to be getting for her.

Games like Zelda now load so fast you can’t even see your stats on the loading screen. And ya know, that’s an okay problem to have.

Environmental consulting. It’s a lot of office work, but there is still field work that can fall outside of the normal hours, but usually not by much.

I wonder if it’s because they had 10 million ready to go in June for launch so most people who wanted one got one then. Especially because it’ll never go down in price, why wait until the holidays unless you have kids?

I love mine. The FPS boost alone in Zelda and Pokémon made it worth it for me. Cheaper than the GPU I want for my computer too. Then again, I went all in on the Switch in 2017 after skipping the Wii U, so more performance is fine with me. I do wish there was more stuff announced, though.

Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. My ADHD thrives on a normal fixed schedule. Emergency field work is always a mental exercise.

GTA VI will be delayed again.

This was my issue. The two times I posted real, actual questions that I needed help with, and tried to provide as much detail as possible while saying I didn’t understand the subject,

I got clowned on, immediately downvoted negative, and got no actual help whatsoever. Now I just hope someone else had a similar issue.

I really feel like they’d have done a Funtastic series again if they actually truly cared about making money from colors.

The only game like this I really play is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. I refuse to pay real money, so I get two packs a day. It’s good for a 15 minute burst of… not quite dopamine, and then you’re off.

Similarly, Pokémon Quest is a game that falls exactly into this category with a charge system that depletes after every short level and reacharges once per hour, to a max of 5 in the beginning. I played it when new and then just recently went back and played it quite heavily, again. That is until I accidently undid something that took me a week of RNG to get, so I quit.

Generally, I hate the mobile game charge system, though. At that point, I’d rather just pay for a full version. And paying for charges is not the same thing.

Basically never now, thankfully. My old job would send me out to the field where a lot of the day was spent waiting for things to happen. Luckily those things often involved loud noises, so I’d be woken up and didn’t miss anything.

For more context, I work for an environmental company where part of our work is overseeing the importing and exporting of soil (dirt) and stone (rocks) from jobsites. Depending on where in the state you are, it could be a 3 hour round trip from the jobsite to the quarry/landfill. I’d bring a folding chair, or just sit in my car near where the loading/unloading was.

For import, the dump trucks would roll in and then just dump their whole load. The noise came from the tailgate slamming shut after the entire truck was emptied. It would wake me up every time.

Then for export, a bulldozer would be dumping rocks, concrete, or soil into a dump truck. That was usually pretty loud itself which would wake me up.

According to the weekly dump logs (lol), I never missed a truck.

I would hold things up to the landline phone in an attempt to show my grandparents things.

Funnily enough, the future came full circle.

I try to play a game once a day. Days where I can’t feel weird. Even if it’s just a puzzle game for 15 minutes, I try to play something every day.

Thank you! I keep getting distracted by everything, as usual. Also your reply is the first I’ve ever gotten on this account, so that’s cool. Nice username too haha, great game.

Then there’s me who disables that every time I get into a work car with it. I’ll just put my GPS in the cup holder, thanks.

Right after I learn about how much of a failure Copilot has been, and they do this. I’m not surprised, but man.

Funnily enough, still TotK. I played heavily when the game was new and completed 2/3 of the main story missions. Then I kind of fell out of it at the 150 hour mark or so while searching for the Master Sword. I didn’t want to look it up, so I slogged a bit while retracing steps. That slog turned into 2024 and newer games came out. Then the Switch 2 was announced with enhanced performance, with a specific mention for TotK, so I held off on playing it. Of course, I was distracted by Mario Kart, and THEN Bananza, but I’m finally back to TotK and it’s as wonderful as it ever has been. I completed everything I was stuck on before, and then some. Now I’m trying to power my armor up before proceeding further towards the final battle.
