  • Tell your friend to just be who they are and not worry what people think and those left hanging around are the people who love them and not the person they try to be. Which is way more fulfilling and less exhausting than trying to be the person others want them to be.



  • I still haven’t managed to get into watching play videos with the exception of a few crazy speed running vids. Some of those guys are crazy talented. My obsession actually started with a speed runner doing a documentary type video about Tetris finally being beaten. It was terribly interesting. Couldn’t believe I watched a 2 hour video about a game I never even played. It was by summoning salt if anyone is curious.




  • Oddly enough I feel the same way about games now. I used to play a lot but haven’t touched anything in ages. I do however watch retrospectives about games every single night in bed.

    I have way more excitement now about listening about game development or retro game reviews/systems than I ever did about actually playing them.

    My daughter recently asked why I don’t play game if I listen/watch about them so much. I didn’t want to tell her that her growing up is a huge reason why, but it’s honestly the truth. I don’t have time to play anymore and that time is better doesn’t with her and furthermore the rewards for playing aren’t worth it but learning about it through these videos is somehow even more satisfying now.











  • Well welcome aboard! Lemmy is a great substitution once you learn to cope with the fact that there is less content generally, but it is a much better community. Of course that depends on the instance you choose but you can always just silence the ones you don’t want. I came here back during the api fiasco and I’ve never looked back. I can’t even imagine using Reddit now. My wife still scrolls on it and it’s so cringe, all bots and the same tired inside jokes. I like it here much better. We still get dumb jokes but it isn’t nearly as bad as Reddit.
