Whats bothering me the most about it is that Reddit is still a valuable source of information for so many things, can't get around a boss fight in a certain older videogame? Yep, there are about 10 threads about it on reddit from years ago.

The amount information on there is big enough that often times many of the top useful search results are in reddit, I hope Lemmy can fill the gap, at least partially but I'm aware that it could years and that's only if the fediverse picks up well enough.

It's so accurate it hurts me

That's way too straight forward for Kojima. You need at least 3 more hours of cutscenes.

Back in the early Sega Genesis days, Sega used to send out hints for games if you wrote and asked them. My favorite was for the game Last Battle (a Fist of the North Star game in the JP market), the tips for several levels simply said "Punch and kick your enemy on your way towards victory".

This is fair. GameFAQs is still this if I look something up for a pre-2010 game a lot of the time.

A few weeks ago, when things started to get heated, I had the reflex of copying all the helpful posts I made amd putting them on my own knowledge base in case something goes wrong with reddit. I can always put them somewhere since I've secured that info on my own server.

Maybe you should put them here somewhere
