But text games are pretty cool tho

Magic the Gathering: Arena grabbed my attention again after our friend group picked up the cards again. When I dont play modern stuff I’ll boot up my PS2 and play Monster Hunter 2 (DOS) online. Some smart folks brought back a private server for the old PS2 era games. Great Community (MHOLDSCHOOL Discord, also hosts of the Server) and a change of pace.

Probably because Social Media is their ad platform.

No poop challenge

I did at some point, but I keep mixing it up with my native language rule for quotations. I study both german and english language and should actually know better, lol. The rules of written language are fascinating to me, so I appreciate any corrections!

That’s good to know, thank you! I‘ll try to keep it in mind from now on.

Hey there! Don’t want to nitpick, but it is spelled „you‘re“ in your case. „Your“ is used when you‘re talking about possessive attribution. „Your car“ vs „you‘re (you are) driving a car“.

Dropped Reddit and never went back.

Edit: Gotta take the flow and promote !bassment@feddit.de while this post is hot. A community for Bass-Guitar players I’ve been building since the Reddit blackout. Come join us!

Was exactly the same for me. Was so hyped once the DOS server opened up for public access. I‘ve played my fair share of MH1 online back in the days so this was like a dream come true.

I went back to PS2 era games. This was the golden era imo, where games came out in a playable state and an amazing amount of content. Right now I‘m playing a completely English translated version of Monster Hunter 2 on a private server that went live about a month ago, it’s amazing.

It’s just part of my personality by now and I don’t feel bad about it any more. I just keep adding skills to my repertoire and thus have a broad spectrum of things I can talk about and relate with other people.

Imo Dead Space was the last decently made mobile game. After that the F2P craze started and never stopped.

As much as I get your frustration, we should never wish death upon anybody.

Sorry, second language! What would be the correct phrasing?

I‘ll bet you a $100 (not really) they are mods on discord as well and their urge to keep control over the community is the real driver for them.

I can totally see how that did happen! It’s at least a pretty social and positive community. Not like I regret the time spent, it’s more like that I regret the missed opportunities I had in RL because of my anxieties. I’m so happy that you found your wife in FFXIV, that means you get to spend your lax time with them, which is amazing!

Mine should be Monster Hunter with roughly 2-3 k hours across the series. But single-game most played hours should be Final Fantasy XIV with a little more than 1.5k hours.

To be honest: Im not proud of any of this. Most of the time was accumulated when I was much younger and I wish I would’ve had the courage to engage in meaningful encounters with other people instead. Gaming used to be my main escape mechanism, which helped me get through some rough times, but held my personal progress behind by a good margin. A little playing on the side won’t hurt though, nowadays.

Moving from one company that monetizes you to another. Not the brightest idea.

Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I’m also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there’s a bigger investment for me to get things going here.
