  • Well, I’ll say the usual, CS2, TF2, and L4D2… with a combined total playtime this year of 60 hours… (most on TF2)

    Because… I’ve been playing this game… called Wuthering Waves., it doesn’t have any hours, only days, but if I had to guess… around 1200 hours. It’s a gacha game. Like Genshin Impact so… yeah, I’m a F2P though, and I’ve been enjoying it (with a few exceptions)

    Aside from that, Honkai Star Rail is second… with probably around the same hours… another gacha game. Then Zenless Zone Zero, as another commenter mentioned. Another gacha game.

    In my phone, I guess I play Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go occasionally.






  • Ah, interesting. I don’t even post most of the time anyway, or comment, especially on Reddit (don’t want to give that website more traffic than I already do).

    I guess I don’t have as much appreciation in how chill it is here, compared to reddit. Yeah, the smaller community makes connections here more interesting, and manageable too, as it doesn’t blow up to like an entire community worth if you share a bad take since… barely anyone’s here anyway haha~

    I guess it’s just one of those symptoms of reddit that was alleviated in lemmy…


  • Oh cool, yeah… It’s unavoidable to not use Reddit for anything these days anyway… With how lemmy posts are still buried (either lemmy issue or search engine… idk anymore).

    As for the whole, thoughts… I have an entire website and note/blog that is pretty much that, and I rarely share it since it’s pretty much me in text form… And yeah! Posting and commenting really interrupt a lot of things… like rn… I’m supposed to be doing something else, but I’m replying 'cause I found your comment interesting.

    I haven’t even taken a second to look at r/PH but from you and the other user, there seems to be the usual echo chamber that is the usual problem in reddit subreddits… And the usual PH fb comment brainrot haha…

    I’m happy for you though, It’s nice knowing people live lives outside of these online spaces haha…


  • I can attest to that… I don’t even use reddit / twitter that much so I can say I’ve moved to Lemmy/Mastodon, and if I continue lurking… Well, I guess little would change, since I did try to at least participate but you can’t really fault anyone there.

    About the data thing… Free data is important, huh? I’ve never considered that before since usually people always have some sliver of load… Facebook is just too embedded too as you said, I myself started on Facebook. Reddit and Twitter are less… Yeah, I wasn’t there when old reddit and twitter… youtube lurker back then…

    Basically… yeah. I agree. The only way to permanently switch someone (like my other friends from Twitter to Bluesky) is if it’s truly that bad and people mildly aware are doing that (at least… younger people, IDK about older lol)

  • Oh, good insight. I guess I’m still getting used to the whole niche crowd I’ve put myself in. (Like Linux, FLOSS space, etc.)

    I guess it is reasonable that people like me don’t out themselves much considering what I’ve been doing… Yeah, I think throughout the whole journey I’ve been in and throughout the ‘alt-media’ space (Mainly Lemmy and Mastodon/Bluesky). It’s always been more niche communities that have moved…

    Oh, and I was also part of that ‘commenter’ crowd before decentrabel retired so I didn’t really expect that it would die out (though to be fair… I did unexpectedly quit around the last months due to personal reasons)

    Yeah, I guess there’s just gotta be people interested and willing to post and comment to spread on the already non-mainstream crowd of lemmy users…










  • Any Linkin Park listeners? They just regrouped, and I am torn 50/50 on it;

    !It’s like yey more linkin park, but on the other hand, it’s… meh… with the new vocalist, since I resonated and listened to LP mainly because of Chester Bennington (RIP) when I discovered them long after Chester’s death during the pandemic… Though, I have a complaint, I wish that they toured in the Philippines and Manila at least… Haha…!<
