I found the better way to use Mastodon was to follow users/hashtags of interest and then filtering out most of the topics which produce ragebait. It means my feed isn’t as busy but I also get none of the ragebait.

Seems like for most people they would be better off cancelling most streaming services and only renewing for a month or two when enough new content is there rather than having multiple ongoing subscriptions.

They had the data, they just repeatedly ignored it since it didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear.

I felt this a bit too. I never played it back in the day so I was playing it fresh as each game released as part of the PC master collection. Playing Halo 1 without nostalgia googles is rough as that campaign has not aged well. It’s starts decent but then reusing the same levels made the second half a mediocre slog.

These reviews have been great. I never really considered looking into FPS games on the DS/3DS and you have now convinced me to try Bionicle Heroes.

I’ve started doing similar logging my games but not going as far as to write my own reviews.

It’s interesting looking back though a year and seeing what I played over a calendar year. Last year I tried Castlevania and Metroid for the first time and both series really pulled me in. This year seems to be the 3DS Fire Emblem games and Final Fantasy series (never played them before and now I’m up to FF7).

$1 for a 14 day trial seems pretty reasonable especially considering if you time it around when you know you have a fair bit of time you could play through quite a few games in that time.

I had done that a few times where there was a game I was interested in and just got a trial and completed it during the trial period making it a very cheap game rental.

I just bookmarked the subscriptions page instead so I never really saw the standard homepage.
