Jag har försökt men det tar inte! Mycket märkligt hah. Får väl försöka igen antar jag...

EDIT: Verkar fortfarande strula på något sätt? Jag kan nu se min profilbild när jag är inloggad på detta konto, men inte när jag tittar på den här tråden från mitt andra konto?

Finished it today. One of the hardest games to rate ever, for me. There were some undeniable highs in there but large parts of the game were just not enjoyable to play through. The final act in particular felt like pulling teeth.

I think I'm happy to be able to say I have played it, but I honestly don't know that I think it was a good use of 20ish hours. Large parts of it honestly felt like just designed to waste your time.

It also needs to be said that the game has an absolute fuckton of missable content that is absolutely crucial to picking up the point of what the writers are trying to say. Disco Elysium really is just like they wrote a book, scattered the pages across a room, and then put blind faith in the player finding all the important ones on their own.

Like, I've seen so many people completely miss the Final Dream just because they didn't want to take a nap in the flak tower. That scene with "Dolores Dei" is like, the denouement of the entire game. And the devs made it so easily missable. Completely psychotic behaviour, hah.

Every single person that I've ever told about Lemmy has not only refused to join, but outright chided me for having recommended it to them. Every. Single. One.

I have a hard time believing that since it implies every single person you proposed Lemmy to was already aware of it. The reaction I personally tend to get is "...what? Huh. Never heard of it".

It definitely will happen. I've already noticed I'm sometimes getting weird "your IP is blocked" warnings when using old.reddit. They go away after a refresh but it wouldn't surprise me if they're trying to get people to stop using it.

So as someone who has obsessive-compulsive tendencies but definitely not OCD I would define it as such: OCD is when your general functioning is noticeably and demonstrably impaired by your obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

I can get stuck in loops sometimes and I can get hung up on things, but I've seen people with actual OCD around when I've been at my psychiatrist's clinic and it's different.

We had some nice steady growth up until some months back, probably partially driven by dissatisfaction with Reddit rallying behind Trump and further enshittification of it. But predictably the lions share of users just accepted the new normal as the inertia of leaving is just too high to overcome. For another exodus event there needs to be a bigger shock to the system, probably something like turning off old.reddit.

I'd like to imagine I'm responsible for the first!

You were indeed! You're convincing me, I'll pencil this in as a palate cleanser at some point this year!
