I mainly program in Visual Studio so I use it’s integration for simple commits, diffs, and checkouts. Anything more complicated than that I head for the command line.

Since you mentioned OpenMW I thought I should mention Daggerfall Unity. It’s an rewrite of Daggerfall using the Unity engine, also requiring the original files. The best thing about is that the developers have made it easily moddable and a very healthy modding community has sprung up for it, some of which really make the game feel like what the original developers were going for but had to deal with the technical limitations of the time.

Is there any reason to ever do a system update now that the shop is closed, or can I just happily go on ignoring that and install homebrew and cias to my hearts content?

As in if you get the update you can’t apply the hacks? Am I good if I have an old hacked one or do I need to watch our for Nintendo doing some sneaky update that’ll brick it? I hacked mine like 4 years ago but I haven’t touched it a while so not sure if I need to do anything else.

If I’m spending less time staring at my phone and more time picking up a book or something, all the better for me. I’ve found myself engaging more and doomscrolling less though, so the time feels more well spent even though I’m spending less time then I would have on reddit.

Wow that’s a great list, thanks! I’m seeing a lot in here I’ve never tried.

I’ve got a soft modded 3DS I haven’t touched it in a while, but I’d love to find some new title to get back into it. What are some of your favorite games?

I don’t care if all the subreddits come back. I’ve already deleted my account and will not be going back.

Exactly! I used to think of reddit like that, until it became something…different. I’ve found myself going back to old forums instead of reddit lately.

I signed up as a lemmy.ml user before they started getting hammered and ended up making a new account at a smaller server. I think a lot of the lag yesterday was a result of droves of redditors heading over to the bigger lemmy servers.

I love the concept of decentralization. Feels more like the internet of old.
