I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.

Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.

It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.

In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.

I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.

Haha my son ironically hates both of these things. He would choose to eat air in his room.

Totally agree. I think she craves them because breastfeeding puts her at such a calorie deficit.

I prefer water, but my wife really likes Body Armor. Specifically a Tropical/Pineapple flavor.

I’m pretty mad about the iOS “upgrade” too.

I was on reddit 10 years ago. Different vibes than old reddit for sure. Still way less users on Lemmy.

In no particular order:

• Mass Effect 2
• Pokémon Colosseum
• Kingdom Hearts 2
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land
• Baldur’s Gate 3

• Super Mario Sunshine
• Mario Galaxy
• Sonic Adventure 2
• Splintercell

Why is it a political compass meme? Haha

Which service would you recommend?

I’ve used SongShift. It told me which items were missing after the transfer.

Absolutely has to be intentional. That’s hilarious.

I have been using old.reddit to get around these since the API stuff started

I know this may be surprising, but sometimes I just read the title and look at the comments.

I just re-read them last year. What narrative are you talking about? Is it to do with Eragon not understanding that he’s a teenager and he shouldn’t hit on the elf princess who is literally 80 years older than him?

Eragon was my first foray into proper swords and sorcery fantasy after Harry Potter.

Are the books really that bad in your opinion? By no means do they reinvent the wheel, but I enjoyed the magic system and enjoyed the aspect of Dragon + Rider and that relationship we see between the two.

I haven’t read much other Fantasy besides LotR and Stormlight Archive, but I enjoy the Inheritance Cycle.

I mean it’s probably just alphabetical, but I wouldn’t know for sure.

You will recognize a character that makes waves in Stormlight named Hoid. He makes cameos in pretty much every work of Sanderson’s.

It sounds like you have 5 hours to study. Good luck!

Mistborn was amazing for this.
