Gross and also entirely unsurprising.

My main use case for facebook now is buying used shit locally on Marketplace, since they have effectively killed craigslist with it. It's where I found my motorcycle. As an actual social network experience it sucks ass.
My only interactions with Reddit since the blackout have been google search results. I admit that I do miss it, but the behavior of spez and his lackeys has been despicable, and totally killed any enthusiasm I had left for Reddit.
Side question: Why do Reddit and Twitter and all of these other social media shitshows use idiotic terminology like 'permanently suspended'? Surely the correct term is 'banned'. The word suspended in this context usually implies a temporary nature.
The tip top number 1 for me has always been TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM. Everything about it was awesome. Mindblowing for the time 640x480 graphics, the iMUSE music system that dynamically changes the music to react to what's happening in game, really fun flight mechanics, a massive amount of missions to complete, and the overall really excellently done Star Wars treatment.
For those who are interested, a free community-made remaster of sorts called TIE Fighter Total Conversion was released a couple of years ago, and has received several updates. It is based on the ancient (although not as ancient as TIE Fighter) X-Wing Alliance engine, and has been hacked and modded so much that it feels like a modern game, and it includes both the original campaign from TIE Fighter and a reimagined version of it that uses things that the newer engine can do that the old one can't, such as having many more ships present at the same time and the ability to travel from one place to another via hyperspace within a mission, etc.
TIE Fighter works fine in DosBox btw. TFTC works natively in modern Windows. If you're going to play either game I highly recommend using a joystick. Mouse control does work but it is not that fun. Gamepads will probably work too, but still won't feel 'right'. Also you're going to need to keep your keyboard within reach as there's a whole bunch of keys you're going to need.
Elder millenial here. Grew up on Doom and Quake.
Defenestrate them!
Don't forget the USELESS FUCKING ARROWS.
Heh. Just checked my account. Alan Wake was added to it in May of 2013. I haven't played it yet... I think it was part of a humble bundle or something.
It's the more common term in British English.
All of the Star Trek stuff should be on Paramount+, although they're pulling some bullshit with Prodigy and removing it.
