I prefer Squiggy

My vision didn’t start going downhill until my 40’s. I am also very sensitive about my eyes to the point I can barely even put drops in. So I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be a glasses wearer from here on out.

This is a great quote. I may have to borrow it.

Also Firewatch. I wish I could go back and play that game for the first time.

Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

I’ve been using Connect for the last few days and so far really enjoy it. it’s still missing a few features but I really like the UI.

I hope not. I’m almost 50. But I’m not in the dating pool. I feel for anyone trying to date at our age. Better to be who you are though.

I couldn’t agree more. Your statement is so pointed that I’m going to save it to refer to in the future.

Well said

Sorry for your loss, but what a fabulous way to go out! Bravo!

I’ve been hooked on Knighthood recently. It’s a fun little RPG with simple mechanics. It is also in portrait mode so it’s perfect for one handed play.

Prior to that, I had primarily been playing Archero which is another very fun portrait RPG.

Although I primarily play it on PC, I love that I can also play Albion Online on mobile, especially for some of the mundane farming and auction house tasks.

Other than that, I mostly stick to puzzle games like Woodoku, Wordscapes, Tents & Trees, and Grids of Thermometer.

Maybe it’s nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.

I guess I’m glad I picked Lemmy.one – the Switzerland of US-bases Lemmy instances :)

LOL it looks like you’re right. Oh well. Maybe a poweruser could use some of these extensions :D

I use Brave. My most used extensions are:

• Awesome Screenshot - takes partial and full browser window screenshots. It can also record screens. It looks like they’ve added “ChatGPT” into the name for some reason.
• Bitwarden - password manager
• VisBug - allows you to view webpage styles and tinker with the layout of live webpages.
• Homey - a replacement for the default New Tab, which includes beautiful live wall papers and convenient access to bookmarks and other widgets.

Is this just the PWA (progressive web app)? If so, just FYI it’s not a true native app – more like a downloadable version of the normal webapp that you can pin and run like it is a app. I installed it as well (for my kbin account) and it works well enough as a good stop-gap.

Sadly, Reddit has likely won the short-term battle. But hopefully, this Blackout raises awareness of the need for alternatives. Whether it be Lemmy/Kbin, some up-and-coming site like Squabbles or Tildes, or something not yet created, the seeds of migration off Reddit have been planted. If Reddit has such apathy for its communities pre-IPO, just imagine how bad it will be post-IPO when they are dealing with Wallstreet directly.

I haven’t played either of these, but they sound very cool and have been on my wishlist for a while:

• Metaphobia - a FREE game on Steam. It’s a classic-style point-and-click adventure in the vein of Gabriel Knight.
• Shadows of Doubt - An immersive sandbox detective stealth game set in a fully simulated sci-fi noir city of crime and corruption. The world is procedurally generated and you can explore and take on cases freely. Discover, meet and tail individual citizens, each with their own name, job, apartment and daily routine, in unique, procedurally-generated cities. Each case has different culprits, clues and experiences for you to test your investigative skills.

I’m not sure if it is truly considered a pixel art game, but I still love Terraria.
