To answer my own question, I haven’t played all the games yet, and I’m biased towards parser games, but I loved To Sea In A Sieve and I think it’s a contender for winner. Quirky writing (which seems to be a popular trait among past winners), strong setting, and challenging puzzles. Only possible downside is that the puzzles might be a little too challenging? 🤔
I accidentally lost my progress in Assembly and haven’t gotten up to replaying, but what I saw was super promising too.
Or at least less so than Reddit. It’s good, but, I can’t put my finger on it. Even when the content is good, the servers are up, and I’m getting notifications responding to comments, it’s never come to me doomscrolling for hours....
For me a big thing is that because Lemmy is so small, it’s not diverse. It’s mostly liberal-to-leftist nerds from America and Western Europe. I roll my eyes and scroll past whenever there’s a post about any Asian country because you know it’s just gonna be a bunch of foreigners (whose exposure to the country is limited to news headlines) pretending they know anything. And unlike Reddit there are seldom any locals available to set people straight.
I usually don’t give a fuck about ads, but they’ve gotten increasingly annoying lately. Used to be that the popular websites were classier and less intrusive with their ads, that’s why they were popular. Now the biggest websites (most obviously YouTube) are the ones with the craziest most intrusive ads.

Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?
