I definitely feel you on this one. I pretty mucj took my vocal chords and fucked off when BaconReader was killed off, but even before then my visits got drastically cut back when the ability to kill the app nag was removed from web interface in monile browsers. That’s what put me onto BaconReader in the first place.
There’s a lot, most of which I make anyway for sake of cost/volume ratios, but in no particular order…
Tomato paste (love to use, can’t be arsed to make my own), sriracha (like it but don’t use enough for the amount I make), waffles (don’t crave them nearly as much as I used to), scotch eggs (love 'em, hate making 'em), pickled asparagus (which really sucks because they’re so good), lotus root chips (maybe if I had a fry daddy, air fried just doesn’t do it), chicarrones (lots off local places make 'em fresh and cheap), horchata (same), meat pies (there’s a local Brit shop that sells 'em), falafel (lots of local vendors), jalebi (way too much work)…
A friend’s brother died. It was literally out of nowhere. And said friend is stick home with Covid - which isn’t what did him in, but still. Massive suckage.
Plus it didn’t even feel like Christmas this year. Visited family, but…I dunno. It just wasn’t, this year.
Used tp use it tp voice porn (gonewildaudo).
Obviously, spez fucked that up.
Good. fuck’em.

Mainly because I named my phone The Slab. It’s a Note 10+, and I did the whole notification profile as different Courage screams.
Good. Fuck ElMu. ElMu sucks.
A comparatively mundane example, and possibly unremarkable to many, but I habe incredibly strong feelings about Spider Robinson’s “Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon” and “Callahan’s Lady” series. In particular, I read them during an extremely difficult point in my life, and the eponymous Law of Conservation of Pain and Joy completely changed me and my motivation in life.
I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.
With its egalitarian nature, people could get a LiFE - because Lemmy is For Everyone.
Perhaps the real tea is the shitposts we made along the way.
Something Something learn from the past Something Something repeat it.
I’m a terrible person.
"Once upon a runtime things were RiF’d on a regular basis. But then things went bad. Really bad. A great migration ensued, and in federation a truth was found.
Reddit was fun. But Lemmy is for Everyone.
Mourn the Rif. Embrace LifE."
It means little from some rando, but your grief is both real and valid. May it fuel a rekindled passion here, and make for a beacon that calls friends lost and seeking, and also burn away the sorrow.
And if that light helps burn the old hangout to the ground with the landlord inside? I’ll gladly help with alibi.
The immediate thought that came to mind waa a semi-procedural space trading/combat game that crafted galaxies inspired by netword structures and connected devices, with the router serving as the ‘stargate’ and resources not actually pulling anything from the systems involved. Smart devices could show up as ships or satellites, or planets depending on the types of devices involved.
Something of a cross between Star Control/ Ur-Quan Masters, No Man’s Sky, and maybe Allegiance?
Not that you’re wrong, but the rodent comparison, in light of reading this on Lemmy, gave me a chortle.

Engagement is not a bad thing. Some creators need the dopamine hit of feedback. As an infrequent poster of super niche nature, I relate intensely. I just don’t have any current written or spoken content to put out right now.
The big concern is that people will sour on it.
Because some medical experts deem it a valid and valued preventative remedy for severe phimosis. While I don’t concur, my grandfather developed a case late in life that necessitated surgical remediation.
