I’m definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.

It has ads unless you pay to remove the ads, which is a perfectly reasonable model for an app to use.

Personally, I’m stoked for the graphical update. It doesn’t seem massive, but it’s firmly in “makes the game look like your imagination thinks it does” territory, which’ll help a lot with screenshots and - I think - the way that they direct their cutscenes. Being able to actually do close-ups without losing all fidelity will be a boon.

This is great. Love using this again. Thanks!

Cool. Great, even. Man, we’re fucked.

A new joy of using Lemmy: being able to actually see how many downvotes a comment got. It’s been so long since Reddit tossed that feature that I forgot how much I missed it.

Thanks!

My Reddit account is still mostly subscribed to cat subreddits, so I don’t see it as often, but yeah, the trend you’re noticing is 100% real.

I have a similar complaint about almost all “gamer gear” having RGB lighting. Why would I want that? I’m not even opposed to the “gamer” aesthetic of a lot of sharp lines and strong colors, I think that can look really good, but when my mousepad has RGB it’s time to blow the whistle and stop all manufacturing until we can figure out what’s going on.

While lobbies are extremely powerful, I don’t understand how I, personally, am supposed to support the lobbies that represent my interests. Donating to PACs? I’m just not wealthy enough to make it make sense.

God, that’s so depressing. I genuinely don’t understand how we - any of us, in any country - are supposed to be okay with these political mechanisms filled with incompetent, out-of-touch, self-interested codgers. I’m not willing to take action, but when our entire world is being picked apart by the public sector and sold for parts by the private sector, what are we to do?

Back in 2013-ish there was a bot that would convert your karma to crypto back when it was cheap enough to just throw around like that. That was the only time in my life that I was ever paid to post, and it was like $6. I wonder how much it would be if I were to find that wallet now, but that was on an account that no longer exists. Oh, well!

I’ve been playing on and off since Stormblood. I made my account before Shadowbringers came out, though I only ended up actually beating ARR after the Shadowbringers hype bubbled up and got me to give the game another shot. I’ve been playing regularly since. When I type it out, it doesn’t seem that long, but it felt like a long time while playing it! I’m super emotionally invested in the game at this point.
