  • Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.

    Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.


  • CoD mobile is good… when played in an Android emulator on PC. It’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits, and it’s way better than Black Ops 6 (or any console/PC CoD, for that matter). All the best maps from the old games are there. Takes me back to the days of MW1 & 2 on the XBOX 360.

    The only issues is that it takes some tweaking and the right emulator (Gameloop) to get a steady 120+ FPS, and it can take some time for the game to match you with other mouse and keyboard players (instead of just bots or controller/touchscreen users), but once you’ve established your rank, it becomes ton of fun cause you’re not just destroying everyone you match against. It becomes a legit challenge.
