Eh, I quit.

15 year user of Reddit. I helped mod a very small sub, but didn’t do a whole lot mod-wise besides delete a few spam posts now and then when they popped up.

I don’t have any current plans to go back and be a part of those communities for the time being, which sucks because there were a few great (obscure) ones that I’m not sure will migrate or be replaced in the short term.

But the thing about Reddit is that it’s not a homogenous group of people. Sure, it fosters a lot of group think by amplifying the most popular opinion, but if a large chunk of people with one attitude leave, then loudest voices will be the next most popular opinion. Plus, there’s so many casual users now too. Most of my friends were like, “Huh? Something’s going on with Reddit?”

The whole thing feels similar to the whole Digg -> Reddit fiasco. Guess we’ll see how things shake out though.

It’s just used as a way to count users per server, I believe. People who aren’t commenting could be bots or just unused accounts.

I like to send the HTML, CSS, and JS to my laser printer personally.

I’m enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync to be released.

Retroid makes some good stuff too.

I have a bunch of devices. Steam Deck, Miyoo Mini, Retroid Pocket 3+, Analogue Pocket, modded 3DS, and various modded Gameboys.

For most retro games, I find myself reaching for the RP3+ the most. Don’t get me wrong, all the other devices are great too, but it’s a great size and works without fuss up through PSP.

And for value/$, it’s hard to go wrong with any of the trending emulation devices, be it from Anbernic, Miyoo, or Retroid.

The interface on the Miyoo Mini (with OnionOS) is a lot smoother and more streamlined than anything with Android. I definitely like how easily you can switch between all your recently played games so quickly, regardless of system.

Android devices tend to be a bit more flexible/powerful with more emulator options, but the interface isn’t as complete and more tweaking is needed. It’s not perfect, but I’m enjoying Diajisho.

It seems pretty common to use a different Google account on your device than your main one. I only use it to access the Play store, then I disable all Google services until I need it again.

But there’s really no right or wrong approach here, as long as you’re playing games and enjoying it.

I know everyone is different, but I’ve been sleeping better while Vyvanse is still in my system. I have a much harder time getting to sleep super late or trying to get back to sleep after getting woken up.

I’ve used Authy for years now without issue. Seems it’s not a popular option anymore.

Is there something I should know about? Or are other options much better now?
