When I started on Reddit in 2012, it was mostly because I was in Rarotonga and I needed something to entertain myself that didn't use hoards of data like YouTube did for me at the time and Reddit was largely text and image based so it fit the bill perfectly.
Over the years I definitely saw a cultural shift and the quality of content absolutely dropped but there was still so much of it that I could still lurk...
This fediverse does a pretty good job of capturing that same vibe of text based forums that I'm really enjoying, whilst I totally get what you're saying about the size of Reddit I'm more than happy to be hanging out here and I actually like the simple interface, reminds me of my Nexus 4 days hah
My older brother was very much into pc gaming while I was a few years behind so things get a bit foggy, however my best friend's dad at the time has multiple computers for work and we ended up playing adventure Island and commander keen a fair bit, later on my memories of games at home include stuntz, Street rod, the incredible machine, jetpack, there was one where you where a drug dealer?, Diablo, blood, doom, leisure suit Larry and so on but I guess my earliest memories would be of adventure Island and at the time I thought it was pretty fantastic and it was cool to play a game that wasn't my brothers
The first game I purchased with my own money was tomb raider and I'll be honest, it was mostly because of the cover art but looking back it was quite a technical achievement
Are we missing an equivalent anti work community on kbin? I'd like that
There should be a Ted talk on this lol
