Mods. I know that’s not really helpful, but it really is how many of us continue to enjoy it. That said, there are still things you can do to spice up your gameplay on vanilla. The biggest one is this- try a different playstyle. Archery is incredibly effective, so try making a character who absolutely refuses to use one because his whole family was slaughtered by a rogue sentient bow that laughed at him while it did it. Recruit different companions and try to keep them alive in different situations. Be an absolutely evil sonofabitch and kill everyone the game allows you to. Try Oblivion, for a similar, but distinctly different (and in my opinion, slightly superior, despite Skyrim’s many advantages) experience. Or, most simply, stop trying to get blood from a stone, and put the game down until the itch actually returns, not until you feel like it should’ve. Best of luck to you.

Maria and Fury both shapeshift into Skrulls (Talos and Soren) in the end credits scene of FFH.

That was… Not great. Despite everyone having dealt with Skrulls, they sure don’t bother confirming anyone’s identity. I kept waiting for Fury, Hill, and Talos to have some sort of code words or something, but no. Plus, Fury both didn’t question that his old friend Sonya forgot his preferred drink (Skrulls, to his knowledge, can’t copy memories, it was a pretty big plot point of Captain Marvel) and how the random guy in the bar knew who he was. Even a bit of suspicion and boom, they got the bad guy. I also feel like they wouldn’t have trusted Gaia so easily, but I guess it’s Talos’s daughter, he’d think the best of her.

But that ending. You cast the amazing Cobie Smulders for Avengers, have her be a side character with almost nothing to do for over ten years, and kill her one episode into the first story she’s actually a part of. Why? What a waste of not only Cobie, but Maria Hill. One of the only other movies she had anything to do in was Far From Home, and that wasn’t even actually Maria (speaking of, where was real Maria during FFH? Real Fury was in space, but real Maria was presumably on Earth).

Overall, a fairly frustrating watch.

Every new account isn’t a bot, though. We don’t have real numbers to work with yet.

I really hope this leads to actual change. Subreddits are becoming meaningless to visit and frustrating for normal users, so hopefully they just stop using reddit altogether.

Apologies, I didn’t get a notification for this reply. The tweet is below, though his feed is nothing but pics of himself at the time of this comment.

Nah, there are still a lot protesting, they just know that if they don’t do things a certain way they’ll be replaced with bootlickers. Pics, gifs, aww, interestingasfuck, iOS, wellthatsucks- all are bringing attention to the admin’s bullshit while technically doing as admins asked.

Yes and no. It is true that going to reddit to troll reddit benefits reddit in the short term, but I think it’s harmful in the long term. By making /r/pics, /r/gifs, and /r/aww John Oliver themed, /r/wellthatsucks becoming vacuum themed, and /r/interestingasfuck and /r/iOS becoming essentially unmoderated, it is making those communities ultimately pointless, irritating users away from the site, and raising awareness. John Oliver even tweeted about it and provided dozens of pictures for their use, and it’s likely at this point that LWT will do something on the situation when the writer’s strike is over. I’ve only gone to reddit to vote in the troll polls- I don’t think that’s the kind of engagement reddit actually wants at this point.

What a fucking crazy shit show. Thanks for sharing the non-reddit link.

The addiction rate among pain patients is low, but those patients may still be over prescribed and sell the excess. That said, I hate how controlled they are. I don’t abuse or sell and it’s a constant fight with my doctors to prescribe anything for kidney stone pain, which I get several of a year.

Lemmyverse already lets you. The “Home” button allows you to set the URL of your home instance.

I don’t plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I’ll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.

There is actually an advantage to being part of a larger instance if you want to browse everything, actually. An instance is federated with another when a user from Instance A subscribes to a community from Instance B. The more users in an instance, the more people to subscribe to other instances, federating that instance with more instances for all users.

It’s a protest. It’s meant to be inconvenient. Be mad at the people causing the protest, not the protesters.

Reddit, obviously. Way more content and activity. If you’re just finding out about both, you don’t know about the API kerfuffle and the UI isn’t so terrible that someone who’s just getting exposed to it would care because they have no frame of reference. There’s no way the average person would choose Kbin over reddit if they really are just learning about both at the same time.

We don’t know where the voting is going. The thread is in contest mode, so the sorting is meaningless no matter your sort method.

For a guy who claims the blackout isn’t affecting reddit, he sure is worried about getting the blackout done and over with.

Yes, but reddit can undo it. A little while back, /r/KotakuInAction was nuked by the head mod, who had not been an active moderator for years. He deleted all content and set the subreddit to private. However, since his actions were malicious and the rest of the mods could only watch since he was above them in the mod order, reddit admins removed him from the mod list and restored the subreddit to before the mod went crazy. This is likely the same logic they’ll use to reopen the subs, only it doesn’t work since it’s not the work of one rogue mod, but the mod team as a whole.
