Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!

I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you’d think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.

It just didn’t really explain what I needed to do. I don’t need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and ‘menial tasks’ to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn’t pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.

Abzu though, that was amazing!

I’ve got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I’ll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I’ll like this!

(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that’s why I haven’t jumped to it yet!)

I’m done.

The subs I moderated have either gone dark, or are going dark in the next ciuple days.

And with that I let the mod teams I was a part of know that I am moving on. I hate what reddit did to the community, and my time feels better spent where it will be appreciated.

Hahahahahhahahah, wouldn’t miss it for the world. But being admins, I imagine it won’t be fairly represented.

I’ll see you there, though!

Will you close your accounts?

I’m quite torn. The various gaming subs I mod have great teams, and are generally great communities. I legit feel like I am doing them a disservice by stepping down and closing accounts at the end of the month.

But doing the work for a company who has no regard for the reason it is a success stings more than the feeling I’ll be abandoning some teams of passionate individuals.

I love the ‘old’ feeling of the internet on here. What I miss from forums in the '90’s. I feel like this is the best decision.

But actions speak louder than words. They don’t deserve users who they abuse.

Ironically, a couple had already been started! So, I guess I can sit back now and be a participant more than moderating.

I did write to one, letting them know I was available to help, but never heard back.

I have posted more on here in a week than I have in years on Reddit. I think it is best.

Well I’m done.

Warned the mod teams in the various subs I mod that I won’t be back after the 30th. It’s sad because I feel I am letting them down, but the knowledge I’ve gained from various communities and posts there isn’t worth the price now.
