  • It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.

    However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.

    Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.







  • That a Welsh username by chance?

    And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.

    Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…

    Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)








  • That’s pretty epic not going to lie !!!

    I remember I became really friendly with a girl from Malta. We wrote a few letters back and forth after meeting on ICQ but unfortunately life then got in the way and we lost touch. I have scratched my head on so many occasions as to what her name was I would love to reach out and see what she’s been up to all these years.

    Kudos to you staying stay in touch all this time. That really is awesome :)


  • MSN was a blast… I can’t say I used Gooey or Odigo they don’t ring a bell :)

    I remember eventually progressing into IRC relay chat (the app I used to use was called MIRC) and that was a blast.

    I remember the first time talking to someone on MSN and they were in America. I’m not exaggerating when I say it blew my mind ! I could reach out and speak to someone that far away almost instantaneously. It was and still is phenomenal to me. So much so I eventually changed careers to become a developer :)
