I left Reddit after the Apollo app was no longer usable due to the whole API thing. Their app is garbage and until recently their mobile website wouldn’t work (it would force you to visit with the app to view some subreddits).

Now, I use Voyager with Lemmy. I still check in on Reddit from time to time or when searching for info, but I use Lemmy mostly now.

When I tell people that I use a GPS app, they almost always insist that it’s easier for me to just head down about a quarter mile south on Aniston Street (if you crossed the train tracks, you’ve gone too far) and make a left on Evansdale, it’s the one with the tree branches covering the stop sign. From there you’re just going to get on the nearest ramp for the express way and get off on 257. Now remember, 257’s exit is actually going to be on your left after about 5 miles, the signs won’t tell you that! Once you take the exit, there’s two burger kings, and you’re gunna wanna turn right after you’ve passed the second one. After that you’ll take your fourth right turn into a large parking lot—you can see the house from there!

Heads up: once in a blue moon it’s on “sale” for free on Epic Games.

(Ask me how I know.)

Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

I miss “old internet” :(

I bought a VR headset solely to play VTOL VR; worth it!

I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

…I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

I was confused when I saw that it was discontinued. I bought several in 2015 and still have them.

I’m far more efficient with AI tools as a programmer. I love it! 🤷‍♂️

I was looking for this comment. This is it—not AI.

I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️

Toyota? Buddy, that’s not a “pickup truck.” That’s a street legal war machine! A technical!!! 😎

Beyond All Reason is a free and open source RTS that looks exactly how a modern Total Annihilation should.

I grew up playing Total Annihilation as a kid, so it’s great to be able to enjoy it like this as an adult, decades later. Supreme Commander also gave me a lot of fun gameplay, but this feels exactly like classic Total Annihilation. I haven’t been able to put it down.

10/10, I had to spread the word. These developers have created something beautiful (and that’s a compliment to the original developers also!). Enjoy!
