Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 3
  • Have Reddark on a tab. Seems like the number of private subs keeps dropping. :(

    Are they caving or is something nefarious up like what happened to r/AdviceAnimals and r/tumblr yesterday?

  • Thoughts on PMPs or Portable Music Players?
  • I was always curious in these. I would follow sites like anythingbutipod back in the day. Cowon was usually the big one that I always wanted to try. But I could never justify the pricing to play lossless audio and also invest in quality headphones to take advantage.

  • Which upcoming games are you most excited for?
  • FFXVI, Armored Core 6, Starfield (after that presentation, was highly skeptical before), Mortal Kombat 1, Alan Wake 2, and Spider-Man 2.

    I think all of them look great. FFXVI is my most anticipated overall. Ever since it was revealed in 2020 I've been sold on that game.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I have little hope if any that this will actually be a meaningful replacement for Twitter or even a competitor in the micro-blogging world. But it being Meta ESPECIALLY makes me reluctant to even try it.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • Well, what was nice about it I think is that a lot of games go on sale on Steam a lot. And if they aren't on sale on Steam. There is a decent chance they would be on sale on GMG or Gamebillet or some other seller like Humble with their bundles. So whatever games I re-purchased from console, was never ever full priced.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • I think the Persona/Fire Emblem social aspects are the weakest parts of the game. But I really loved the gameplay and strategy. I think the plot is okay. If you don't mind the comic book style of tacky in it. There is a lot to enjoy. But it's not innovative by any means. I consider it a solid 8.5/10 kind of game though. I think playing on a handheld helped.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • I've had my Steam Deck since April of last year. I love it. I love the community that has formed supporting it. The last game I beat on it was Midnight Suns. Since I got my reservation for it in July 2021. I went from about 4 games on Steam. To over 140 games.

    It's probably my primary console whenever possible.

  • Comfort games?
  • Trombone Champ,

    The game is a bit of a challenge at first. But even if you screw up, it's so fucking hilarious. I just love it. My wife hates it when I play it. But I adore the game.

    PowerWash Simulator is another one that is actually pretty relaxing for me. Some of the DLC coming looks fun too.

  • Any seasonal anime watchers?
  • I've been watching Demon Slayer. While I don't enjoy the pacing as much. It's still pretty good. I read the manga entirely after season 2 came out. And while I liked it. I am hopeful the anime can rectify certain decisions.

  • What makes a concert great for you?
  • It was grueling. I don't think I can stomach going to another festival again because of the prior experiences. It was reminiscent of the behavior when people got trampled to death at Travis Scott's show awhile back. Thankfully no one in my situation died. But the pushing/shoving that people were doing was very dangerous.

  • 1 film thats Overrated, and 1 film thats Underrated
  • Overrated: Interstellar. Let me just say it is a really good movie. I love watching it on my OLED. But a lot of people do overrate it in my opinion.

    Underrated: The Crow. Something about the 90s charm really appeals to me. It doesn't have the strongest effects. But Brandon Lee was great (RIP).

  • What makes a concert great for you?
  • Exactly, I've been to metal shows like I said and have felt fine. And those generally have a lot of physicality. But not brutality. When it treads into the realm of brutality or abuse it is just hard to justify.

  • ASUS ROG Ally Updated Review (30 Days Later)
  • You sound a lot like my use-case lol

    I also main a Mac for computing. And the other Linux and Windows PCs I have are not gaming machines in the slightest. Since my reservation in July 2021, I went from around 3 games on Steam. To nearly 150.

    I'm just excited that the portable gaming PC space is growing. Steam Deck has some real competition now in the space. I had always dreamed of some day owning one but the pricing was more than I could justify.
