PC for most games, but I also use it for most things in general
Steamdeck for any mid-tier games that can run on it well, or games that i'll be playing while also doing other things. Also for portability
Switch for better portability if the quality will be more or less the same, since it's lighter, smaller, and doesn't heat up much/at all. But also pretty much strictly for portability. If I plan to use it on a screen i'll use steamdeck.
I find it easier to rewatch something than expend the mental energy on something new, so I rewatch a lot. Buffy, Stargate SG-1 and Taskmaster are the ones I rewatch the most.
I play on PC but I think I’ve been tricked into it. I lost the muscle memory for controllers so it’s too tricky now, andI already suck on PC the controllers just make me feel bad.
Path of Exile. It literally captures you once you take a grasp on game mechanics and find an interesting character build.
Oh boy, theres a lot to talk about chatacter building.
Theres no ARPG game in the market with such complexity in planning your character. Dopamine hits when you reach your build’s peak and while you chase for milestones, like upgrading gear, leveling, bossing, etc. Leagues are breath of fresh air, introducing expansions + new content, also possibility to start a fresh character in fresh ladder & economy.
Playing PoE with pals in a guild and sharing milestones, moments, items & currency, helping each other with progression sucks you even further in.
Its so addictive that I’ve had to stop playing it, because it takes so much of your time. But I don’t regret playing it. Good times.
I forgot about The Nintendo Switch. I have like 700 Hours in BoTW. I don’t know how you can see the playtime on the WIIU but since the release of BoTW I played on the WIIU about every day I got the Time to do so.
Same here! I think I had over 400 hours on botw. Now onto totk, and loving every minute. After reading this thread I just told my husband he should be thankful I’m not into WoW.
There are plenty of dead torrents with no seeders. What happens when the post you want to see has no seeders? Most people don’t keep their device on 24/7 and how many people access on a mobile device whose OS doesn’t support this kind of access?
This is a diametrically opposite problem from what the parent comment was talking about. They were saying that P2P is bad at sharing new popular content from one user to many, which is patently false. You are worried about old content that hasn’t been accessed in years and decades disappearing. This is a real question to think about.
Right now reddit and twitter bear the burden of maintaining access to entirety of old content. Reddit even has a system to “archive” posts older than 6 months to make storing them on server easier. In a decentralized network, no one user has that responsibility. What can be done about it? Maybe we need to reconsider our idea of “permanence”, tone down our expectations that all content will be accessible forever, even if no one accesses it. Maybe a censorship-free P2P network would need some sort of sunset system anyway, because otherwise it will fill up with useless spam (the same way Usenet was made useless because it became 1% posts and 99% binaries). Maybe data hoarder enthusiasts will run archive nodes with much larger storage dedicated to preserving old post history. Maybe you can add a filecoin-like system to your P2P network, where you pay $0.01 to guarantee that your comment remains online for 10 years, $0.02 for 20 years, etc. Not recommending it, just saying there are options.
Do note that neither reddit nor lemmy are immune to such bitrot. If reddit goes bankrupt and shuts down servers tomorrow, all that content will be gone as well. Maybe archive.org will manage to save a snapshot, maybe pushshift.io will have a backcopy, but what about all the posts made since pushshift API access was revoked? They’d be gone. As lemmy instances go in and out of existence over the years, what happens if this instance and the ones that got a federated copy of this post all go offline? This post will be gone from history as well. Its continued existence can only be guaranteed if users on the new instances years in the future go back and view it here again before it disappears.
