Ads, ads, and more ads. Especially once my feed got flooded with that “He Gets Us” bullshit every other post. I finally found out about Apollo only about a month before the APIcalypse happened, and the thought of going back was draining. I participated in r/place as a last hoorah before deleting Reddit, and that’s where I saw the Lemmy ad… Haven’t looked back since
Never had the energy to muster to figure out that whole process… also I’m on apartment-wide wifi
Yeah, Reddit did a lot of shitty things, but the constant religious ads shoved in my face was just the final push that made the entire user experience itself annoying for me

This. If they’re not actively passing, they should be required to be in the rightmost lane. It should be illegal for semis to take up 2 lanes, especially when they’re moving at the same goddamn speed.
You gotta lay off the copium, dude… 600M and 12 years without a release anywhere in sight?? That’s just unforgivable. If anyone else did this, they’d be torn apart for it.
For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.
Dead by Daylight. Spending so much time chasing or being chased by other players has definitely improved my tracking/flanking abilities in other games, as well as pathing and following players audibly. I may not be a great shot, but I know exactly where you’re going and how to cut you off.
Also utilizing mindgame strategies can really fuck with people in other games.
Edit: Also also, I don’t get tilted nearly as easily as I used to. DBD sucked all the rage out of me.
Edit 2: My first point also applies defensively, in that I know how to more effectively lose someone if necessary.
