Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
The first two things I noticed were that the quality of content tanked (which was already the lowest I’d ever seen before that), and unvetted racism shot up. I still access Reddit on occasion for some small communities, but I use Dystopia so I don’t provide ad revenue and I just don’t interact anymore. It’s like the active/reasonable adults left and it’s mostly kids and bots left posting and commenting.
This is sort of old but I always make a point to recommend DiMarzio because nobody else seems to. I’ve seen all of the typical straplock designs fail, but I’ve never seen a DiMarzio strap fail. I straight up don’t trust anything else anymore
You don’t have a finger dedicated to each button on the d-pad tbf. It’s still considerably slower, but I would prefer a controller for most 2D games in general.
A little router kickback caused a bevel where I didn’t intend for one to be, so I just went with it and beveled everything. I think it turned out pretty cool tbh.
Thanks! Honestly the only real tip I have is that it’s almost hard to mess it up if you have a router table at your disposal. I wouldn’t feel confident making a pickguard with anything else really.
The pickguard isn’t actually covering up any electronics cavities, but some of them do have weight relief cavities under the pickguard. Mine is solid though, about 8lbs iirc
A bit of an old photo, this was my #1 for a couple years, extensively modded SE Custom 24 Floyd. The Floyd has since been replaced with a Gotoh GE1996T.
Pretty much all of the choices made with regards to this guitar were in pursuit of versatility. For pickups, that meant finding humbuckers with great coil split tones. I was going to go with P-Rails initially, but my mind was changed as soon as I heard the coil splits on these. You could put them in just about anything and convince people they were hearing a Telecaster
Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d...

Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?

Controller > Keyboard
Controllers are so much better for gaming then KB & M, its much more comfortable and the only reason to play with KB is for competitive players.
Room temperature soda is best.
I deliberately warm up my soda if it is cold.
