    I never knew how good I had it when I played it as a kid. I’ve come back a couple times in the last few years just to monitor the state of things, and yeah it’s an absolute dumpster fire.

    It used to be the biggest cultivator of creativity for kids on the internet… Now it’s the biggest cultivator of capitalism and scumbaggery in children.





  • It’s done a lot of bad/annoying things but I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t enabled me to completely sidestep the enshittification of Google. You have to be smart about how you use it but at least you don’t have to wade through all the SEO slop to find what you want.

    And it’s good for weird/niche questions. I used it the other day to find a list of meme songs that have very few/simple instruments so that I could find midi files for them that would translate well when going through Rust’s in-game instruments. I seriously doubt I’d find a list like that on Google, even without the enshittification.







  • OldSchool RuneScape restored my faith in the industry. RuneScape was ruined by microtransactions, but Jagex grew an enormous pair of balls and released an older version of the game and started fresh without any of the bullshit.

    To this day it’s my favorite RPG. I could write a truly ridiculous amount about why I love it, but I recommend just playing it for yourself.
