Deck Nine is also on this, and I thought their Life is Strange games were pretty good (Before the Storm, True Colors).

A long music video is pretty much how I sell it, lol. Also a good movie to watch while in an altered state (it's my go-to movie when I get really sick/feverish).

I tend to like sci-fi in this category such as Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films.

TRON Legacy is my favorite of the bunch, however. Incredible soundtrack, gorgeous costume design, and plenty of character.

I do the tourist thing now with WoW but I'm still talking with players, especially since my duo partner never stops playing.

Less so now, though, since /r/wow was where I participated the most.

Zero chance this would pay better than even something like Mturk.

And yet, content quality on Reddit will tank even further because people will shitpost for pennies.

I was selling countless pre-orders at retail going back to 2001. I don't know when this mythical time would have been either.

Ultimately, the vast majority of people making pre-orders aren't here, on reddit, or any gaming community. And frankly, with the rate at which physical print runs are shrinking, people are going to find they will need to pre-order if they want a physical copy of anything not AAA.

Why I left mine intact. The Reddit "library," as it were, remains one of the largest and most significant public goods online. I think that's more important than burning my contributions in the hopes that Reddit management will do a 180. I also pinned a post advertising kbin/lemmy and Squabbles on my profile.

I'm certainly no longer participating, however, and I don't think Reddit's built to survive only on visitors from Google.

More than half of my personal follows on Twitter are enthusiastically jumping over. I don't spend a lot of time on Twitter these days, so maybe I hadn't realized it was bad enough to send people running happily into the arms of Meta.

Something I've noticed as I've shifted more of my conversations from Reddit to Discord (even before the garbage fire over at the site) is that I'm not looking up stuff as much during instant, short-form communication. Just casual conversation really is okay sometimes. I'll be trying to keep that in mind as I spend more time on Reddit alternatives.

I also have a theory that message board conversations spend as much time on opinion as they do because all the little shit has been solved now that we have esoteric information at our fingertips. Some people don't even know what it was like to be sitting around with friends all trying to figure out what 80's film you saw Robert Loggia in because you couldn't just look it up on-demand.

It still makes sense if Reddit's negotiation with the subscription-based third-party apps was never in good faith and this was always about killing them.

Yes, the bangs are a game changer! They even work well on niche sites like Jisho and Scryfall.

Here, it just depends on what's on the front page. A week was too long for most anywhere on reddit, but here there are still some places where I think a week would be fine.
