I agree. I'm still hoping some subreddits will move over to Lemmy, but I'm really enjoying Lemmy anyhow. The Lemmy communities seem generally really positive so far and there is enough content for me to enjoy. It even helps with reducing my time lost on the internet while still providing me with the community and information-influx that I enjoy. Quality over quantity. I also really love the idea of the technical parts: federated, open source and self-hostable.

Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more
Looks very good! It reminds me of Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch.
Those games might be worth checking out, it's a very different experience than online multiplayer shooters. But maybe shooters just aren't your thing at all, which is okay as well :) If you need more game-recommendations, both shooters and non-shooters, I'm happy to scroll though my Steam list and gather some more for you!
No, I don't and I haven't felt the need to buy one either. For the few times that I do need a car I'm lucky enough to have family living close by that is always happy to let me use their cars. But even if I didn't have family living close-by renting a car a few times a year is probably way cheaper in my case than buying and maintaining my own car. Owning a car does have some advantages, but in my case I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Disadvantages are things like: Extra costs for buying the car, maintenance, parking and insurance. Taking up extra space in a crowded city and bad for my health if I get too much used too it.
I would buy one if I really needed one for a job, but so far I really don't need it (and I could always still buy a car if I do need it more often).
I get 90%+ of my trips around by walking and biking, occasionally by public transport and only a few times per year I need a car. Living in the Netherlands.
What about games like Half Life or Metro? I don't like most mutiplayer shooters either, but storydriven singleplayer games can be great imo
Free and Open Source software. I don't mean anything specific, but if you use/need software it doesn't hurt to search if there are any FOSS solutions available that suit your needs. If it does, you might save a couple of bucks. If it doesn't you can still use your proprietary solution anyway.
Looks great!
Complete dealbreaker for me. You'll never actually own games with such models, as you are completely dependand on the publisher. Once they pull the plug, you can't play the game you paid for. Server probleem? Sorry, you can't play right now. Traveling? Sorry, can't play.
It is also generally bad for modding and the overall user experience. These kind of games often have DRM that don't allow for modding
