I left the day they made the switch and, after 12 years as a daily user, i haven't logged into my account since. Because of Lemmy, don't miss it one bit. The only reason I ever see reddit posts is when they happen to show up in any of my DDG searches. Usually, they show up when I'm trying to seach for info flabout a game or mods, at which point my reddit usage is purely utilitarian. I dont login and i no longer use it as any source of entertainment or online social interactions.

Lemmy reminds me of very early Reddit, which is unrecognizable in its current state. After years of stupid decisions, the overwhelming barrage of adds, trackers and corperate greed, the reddit I found so engaging and entertaining was lost years ago. My exit was just an acknowledgement of that truth.

Character movement. All the animations, running, walking, and turning in 3rd person are about the worst they could be. 1st person isn't much better but at least you can't see anything but the arms. My take is that the animations just didn't match the quality of everything else.

It's like taking a beautiful road trip all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway from the Redwoods to sunny SoCal but doing to in a old ass rustbucket with no power steering, the breaks are shot and making that noise and it always smells like gas inside but the windows won't roll down. What's outside the window is pretty great tho.

FONV and Skyrim. Even with mods, FONV looks like microwaved dog shit. Im mot even a huge graphics nut but at a point it becomes too distracting and FONV goes far beyond that. Skyrim's sluggish movements keep me completely disengaged, although the graphics don't throw me off quite as much, it feels so outdated that the immersion is ruined right from the very start.

Same here. Works great and does all I need it to. It would be nice to have a new GPU but I'm driving this one until the wheels fall off.

Reminds me of that guy on twitter told Tom Morello that he had no business getting all political and to just stick to making music.

I was definitely being cheeky but there's no doubt they were a globally huge band at the time. Even in 95-96ish, 10 y/o me had the Morning Glory album as did most of my friends in our chilly little Wisconsin, USA town. I think we all thought they would end up far more influential in the future. Whatever lasting impression they made on the music scene, and no doubt they did just that, I don't think it was quite the impact the whole world thought they would make back then. In the same breath, here we are still talking about them nearly 30 years later.

Remember when they called Oasis "the next Beatles?" Turns out that one guy vaguely resembled John Lennon when wearing those little circle glasses but that's as close as they could get.
