I remember several years ago r/Casual Conversation was brimming with interesting and candid discussion. As it gained more and more traction I saw it go through the same evolution that killed r/IAmA and r/askreddit. More popularity means more traffic, more traffic means more posts, more posts means stricter moderating, stricter moderating means less “casual” posts. Before long it was just another upvote machine, and that’s when I dipped out.
So having said that, how is your morning going? Did you do anything cool this weekend?
Seems the Lemmy servers are getting hammered right now with the thousands of new users.
It was nice to finally have free time with a lot of sun this weekend. Spent all Saturday drinking Pimm’s on the roof terrace with a friend of a friend. Then most of Sunday playing Zelda TOTK.
Yeah, I’m doing my best to respond to these comments but this site is stickier than fly paper right now. I hope Lemmy can survive the hug o’ death. I’m gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say that if I were the CEO I would be all hands on deck trying to overload these small servers with bots to stifle the migration. I almost gave up on making my account because of the servers, and that was like a week ago. I can only imagine how clogged up things are now.
That sounds like a good weekend to me, I haven’t played TOTK but I’ve heard so many good things about it. How does it compare to Breath of the Wild?
It’s much better than BOTW IMO - like BOTW feels like a beta in comparison. Obviously one huge point is all the contraptions and stuff you can create (and the awesome boss fights it allows), but even just the open world feels so much more fleshed out and a bit more like the earlier Zelda games.
I’m not really a huge Zelda fan though (aside from Ocarina of Time), but it’s been the best game I’ve played in years so far. I think only The Witcher 3 felt similar recently. There’s still Starfield and BG3 to look forward to this year too!
I was sitting in the sun, reading a book.
