I understand how people are titillated by stories of personal trauma.

WTF? I don't go there for entertainment but to stay abreast of the latest scam types and procedures so that I or my friends don't become victims. They're getting insanely sophisticated out there, so I'm just as glad as I am to read of people evading scams on there as I am sorrowful for people falling prey to them, while also learning about the right and wrong steps to take.

This isn't for fun; that's what /r/FreeGameFindings is for, which is also an excellent place in its own way. I am following an equivalent Lemmy community but I'm on both just in case the Reddit one catches any titles that the other doesn't while we wait for Lemmy counterparts to grow.

So, there, two communities that aren't cesspools. To what subreddits did you go? Here are more: /r/zerowaste, /r/eatcheapandhealthy, /r/personalfinance or even /r/povertyfinance. The "cesspool" stance is subreddit-specific and I bet it's not any one of these. You have to be strict with your subreddit curation and only go to those communities and nothing else (especially never the homepage), and then it's awesome.

I'm trying to move here not because of subreddit/community issues but beef with the direction that corporate Reddit itself is going—which is fine to ditch due to that, too, but don't imply that all subreddits suck.

I am partly an animal, after all.

What is the other part?

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I just don't see how that's possible.

Cue in God. (I'm not encouraging that and am just saying that's what humanity developed over time.)

Make every day count

But that's such horrible pressure.

The original is freeware on https://www.cavestory.org/ and was made all by 1 person: programming, story, art, music, you name it... and it's a like <6 MB, haha, which is insane. I've never played either of its remakes, though I know they add more stuff.

Wow, I've never seen that middle one before...

And it's not that short; the island to me seems to be an actual mile wide in circumference. There's lots to do in the one environment.

Haha, I've looooong since beaten it but there are certainly Gen Z gamers out there who haven't...

Dude, spoilers! 🤫

I guess I'll have to rewatch that episode!

It's certainly not as floaty as Cave Story, which is objectively one of the greatest Metroidvanias ever made. Physics alone a great game does not make!

Then it's your fault for not saying "uh" instead!
