I block/mute:
🤖 Accounts that look like bots
☢️ Toxicity in general - be decent to people!
🎙️ Thread hijackers (bots?)
🔞 NSFW content, posted without the flag.
🙃 A pattern of doomsaying. This one's just ME. Things may be bad. You do you, but I may mute. Might do an unmute sweep someday.

Came across multiboard as I was looking around YouTube. I think I might try both this and gridfinity.

...and when they deliver in bulk? I'd say 7 times out of 10, something's damaged.

Feels like THEY really don't want me using that program.

I use Hover, after hearing several people talk about how much they liked them.

Hover isn't always the cheapest...but I've had ZERO issues with them! Everything's simple to see and manage. No scummy tactics.

On comics, I couldn't really say. I didn't read many, growing up (and nowadays, I CAN start from the beginning of a run). Price and availability were bigger roadblocks back in the day.

Dang. Wow. No. I had it happen to the odd TV show - aired out of order, and HATED IT! But I'd never start a movie in the middle unless I already knew it, and 100% never started from the middle of a book series.

If I want to know if a book's good, I'd check reviews and such. Or I jump in blind. 🤷‍♂️

On the sidescrolling action-platformer:

Really, I just want some classic Maple Story. That kind of exploration and gameplay. When I see anything that looks vaguely in that vein, I HAVE to try it.

The closest I've found in recent years is the roguelite Dungreed.

Yeah... Consoles are in a weird spot for me. They're making less and less sense over PC.

I don't trust Nintendo/Sony with digital ownership and long-term store upkeep, and only trust Microsoft a TINY bit more.

I don't like the path consoles are all taking. I don't know if I'll buy the next gen.

Trying...to...resist...urge...to push...Linux...

I feel like I harp on that too much - almost every time Windows comes up anymore. But it's been SO NICE not dealing with Microsoft anymore!
