  • Replaying FF7 Remake. Beat it about 2 years ago but want to play it again before Rebirth comes out. Might also try hard mode this time.

    My GF and I are also playing Sackboys big adventure whenever we both have some spare time. I’m really enjoying it and playing with her makes the game 10x better. Strongly recommend as a couch co-op game.

    I tried playing Alan Wane remastered recently but couldn’t get into it. I felt like the story and gameplay didn’t mix well together. Got it for free on EGS though so I’m glad it cost me nothing to try it out at least!





  • I would say 99.9% of people are still on Reddit. I mainly use Lemmy to get the bigger news stuff and the gaming community is pretty active here too. Also I use Lemmy on mobile only really since the Reddit app is still terrible.

    If I want to read about one of my other interests I’ll go to the specific subreddit on my desktop browser and use old Reddit but with no account since I deleted mine a few months ago. Sometimes I’ll post or comment on one of those smaller communities here but I don’t want to be someone who posts tons of things to a community. Too much work for me.

    Hopefully the user base and engagement will grow over the next few years. Welcome to being an early adopter!




  • It’s good and bad. I miss most of the niche communities that I frequented on Reddit but on the other side I am commenting and interacting on Lemmy much more than reddit. It feels good to have some discussion. Hopefully the niche communities I miss will grow in time. Another good thing is that since Lemmy is much smaller than Reddit I’ll run out of new content quickly and go do something else instead. So now I’m not mindlessly scrolling for ages. I am noticing that since this is such a small community with a very specific group of people that use it (left leaning/tech) that it generally has much less diverse content and memes compared to Reddit. This matters more on Lemmy since most of the content is focused on broad appealing things compared to Reddit which had bigger niche communities.







  • The last one I properly played was Revelations and I couldn’t even finish it. You can only do the same thing so many times before it gets stale and loses all its charm. I tried black flag but was so sick of the AC formula that I ended up refunding it after an hour.

    Now they all seem like the definition of mid. I’ve seen videos of Valhalla and it looks like a Witcher 3 clone with none of the interesting characters or good writing.

    This series needs a long break before I’d ever consider buying one again. I guess it keeps selling well every year though so…

    I feel like the Steam sales stopped being good a few years ago. I think when they stopped doing flash sales? Now most games are just regular sale price off. No real special deals anymore.

    I miss checking daily for new updates on what was for sale and getting a game at a really good price. Now everything is the same price for the entire two weeks so it feels exciting for maybe the first 5 minutes when you check your wishlist and after that it’s done.

    Don’t want to be too negative though. Hope there are some good deals and everyone can grab something at a good price!
