Another streaming service that started around the same time as Netflix’s. More focused on TV shows and now owned by Disney.

Decades of retro game collecting experience leads me to agree :)

I’m about 6 years completely Amazon-free. A key component of the switch was realizing a lot of the random stuff I’d buy (mostly cycling equipment) is cheaper on eBay with faster shipping. The irony is that the seller is likely the same one on Amazon and the items would be delivered by Amazon Fulfillment Services.

Not sure what drugs you’re doing but I’m about 6 years clean now. One thing that helped me the most was rediscovering my passion for video games. I guess my advice would be to find a hobby or something to focus on and forget about the world for a few hours.

If you want to feel like you’re doing something productive, get involved in your local community. It’s very difficult to fight fascism at a macro level but building bonds and protecting those in your immediate vicinity makes more of a difference than it seems.

I deactivated Facebook proper years ago but still have Messenger active due to one group chat and the ability to contact many people I don’t have other contact info for. I don’t install it on my phone or access it on my desktop- only have it on my old iPad. Check it maybe once or twice a month.

If I ever get a new iPad, I’m probably going to cut it off for good.

I would love to but I mainly watch YouTube and other video content on my living room TV. That’s probably a barrier for a lot of us.

I found out who ProJared was on May 9th, 2019.

The bots were always there, the bot-to-human ratio is just much higher now

Same tbh

Thank you for clarifying- still want to get back in for some Splatoon 1 before the end

This is exactly what I do! And I’ve also noticed how much more time I’ve spent doing other things as opposed to doomscrolling.

My longtime girlfriend left me the first week of 2016. It led to a lot of personal growth that would’ve never happened otherwise but I cannot downplay just how shocking it was for our mutual friend group. Memories of back then seem unrecognizable now.

David Bowie died the second week of 2016 and things kept going downhill from there.

So I’m a huge fan of The Smiths…

Exactly- though I did trade up my OG PS2 for a slim back in the day. The OG had served its time (~5 years) and was ready to go.

Saw that but these won’t work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they’re for the revision but I don’t know how that’d work with the new design.

I’m flashing back to Xbox 360 faceplates.

As a die-hard, I bought it Day 1 and got my $70 worth. But after I 100%'d it and looked at my recently played, I realized the only other game was Chicory which I played around Christmas time…

You’re not wrong. In a year where there are entirely too many great releases on all consoles, I’ve only played two on my PS5 (Street Fighter 6 & Final Fantasy XVI)

Not much reason to replace my current one, but many reasons to pick up OG console covers now if they’re going to be phased out in November.

Sometimes the best memes are made by those who are furthest away from the subject matter. I’m over here with the 9¢ green tea bags from Wegman’s though.
