I bought an electric field heater for my dynavap, so that’s good.

HerrBoedefeld, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

So, personally i’m done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren’t even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there’s this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no “extra cost” since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don’t want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I’m not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that’s about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

I signed up to Reddit in 2014 and loved the platform to the point it was my goto when researching new purchases by looking for real world users of products, and would visit the platform multiple times each day. But sadly with all the stunts that have been pulled I have moved over to Lemmy like many others and in have to say i don’t miss reddit at all.

Although Lemmy is now my goto I guess I’ll still make occasional visits to Reddit.

abnormal_258,

i starting using reddit in 2021 but i still do a occasional visit every now and then

Very rarely. If it’s a terminally online day and I run out of content I might go on reddit.

abnormal_258, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit

popcorp, in do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?

I used to buy a lot of things in AliExpress, but since they’ve changed their business it’s usually better to just order on Amazon.

The things on AliExpress used to be dirt cheap and it was a no brainer buying random electronics components in a pack of five for a price of one in the EU shop.

Or sometimes I was looking to some oddly specific item and I always found it on AliExpress. It’s no longer the case, it seems the search results are 10 products of 3 manufacturers that are essentially the same thing.

ChaoticDucc, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I still use Reddit, but have used it significantly less. I am experimenting with alternatives like Lemmy.

BigAttorney, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Rocket League has to be at the top along with Forza. Driving aimlessly without burning fuel in scenic views takes the chart

ratofkryll, in What's the first dream you remember having?

Fleeing naked along endless paths through mountains of jagged debris. A world torn apart. Feels like moving through molasses. Enough light to register, but not enough to see more than looming shadows. The air is hot and oppressive. It’s hard to breathe. Sounds are muffled, no echoes. Safety lies at the centre of the maze but the path shifts and twists away like a living thing.

It was a recurring nightmare throughout my childhood. I still get anxious in really dim lighting, like when lights on a dimmer switch are down really low or candlelight in a dark room. I call it nightmare lighting.

Kolanaki, in In which game did you spend the most hours?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

According to Steam, Arma 3. But I know for a fact that a lot of those hours were not technically in game because I would spent hours upon hours in Notepad++ scripting for my modules while I had the in-game editor running in the background to alt-tab in an test things every now and then.

TF2 is second, and that’s all actual play time, baby.

However, in Ultima Online I spent a good 8+ hours a day, every day, from 1997 to 2003. So probably that; I just have no actual counter for the time put in.

AceFuzzLord, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Because I’ve been playing on and off for around decade - if not a little longer - on xbox360, I’m going to say Borderlands.

I still have a ton of content left in the game since I only had the zombie island and underdome riot DLCs until three years ago and even then still had only really focused heavily on my main account for most everything in game, leaving my playthroughs with the others far behind in the dust.

AceFuzzLord, in What goes good with American Cheese?

I’d personally say nothing since I just do not like it at all.

AceFuzzLord, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I just recently got around to archiving posts of mine before deleting my account, so I literally have no ties other than those on the Wayback Machine.

Needless to say, I don’t go back and I do my absolute best to avoid any and all links from it whenever possible.

Only to view NSFW images when I really don’t have any other option. I don’t have an account anymore though so usually it’s not worth the trouble. Lemmy really just doesn’t have the diversity reddit did with that yet.
