This is kind of embarrassing because I feel like I’m out of touch with video games but I actually have the opposite concern…
How do I play games that allow me to talk to people while playing?
I have a an iPhone, an Android tablet and a Nintendo Switch.
I know I’m limited by my devices but are there any games I could play that have that feature?
Looking more for the social aspect than the gameplay tbh.
Roberto Bolaño has been most influential in my life, I first read him as a teenager and many trips, career decisions and lifestyle choices during my early 20s were directly influenced by two of his books: The Savage Detectives and Last Evenings on Earth.
He’s been my favorite author for a long time and certainly the writer I’ve read and re-read most often, but I think I’ve outgrown him a bit during the past year. I’m glad he’s been part of my life for so long though, and I look forward to finding my next favorite author.
Thank you so much for sharing this, wow!! You must have so many great stories from that time, the fact that internet communities were small yet distinct enough to remain separate from our real world identity is (sadly) fascinating to me.
We must be around the same age haha because those were staples for me too, I was obsessed with motherload on minclip, RuneScape and age of empires lol
Truthfully, never, I’m always honest, but I’m also an advocate for data poisoning and obfuscation. One of these sentences is false.
Scented candles in my office. Makes my work feel much more cozy and less stressful.
Just the man who prompted this question
LOL I don’t see why not!
MacOS Sonoma, released Fall 2023, is available on iMac Pro, released in 2017. That’s the oldest they support, but even the lower-tier MacBook Air and Mac Mini models are supported back to the 2018 models. That’s six and five years.
Fuck Apple and their greedy business tactics, but let’s not just spread false information either.
Most Americans. And it’s not SMS, it’s messages through iMessage. More people use iPhones in America, and installing another app to talk to one or two people with Androids is not something people want to do. I use signal to talk to two close friends because one of them has an android. Otherwise, we’d just use iMessage and not install another app. Everyone else in my life has an iPhone. And this is the same for my age group (younger than 35).
Where did people use to share their emails to be contacted by strangers?
This is exactly the advice in Voltaire’s Candide. Cultivate your own garden, OP.
“The pleasant hush of social purgatory” is superb.

This is super helpful, thank you very much.
It was actually easy to create it (I’m on lemm.ee instance) the hard part is I think just being able to maintain engagement.
Agreed! I started a community a couple days ago and I also browsed through the descriptions of other communities to get an idea of what we should put in one (I have no experience moderating subreddits or anything like that) and I found that many had little to nothing in the sidebar.
Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google’s monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it’s hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).
