  • Oh yes, there were so many of these novelty accounts.

    I remembered a user called Shitty Watercolor who would do very quick paintings of things user situations. There is still a subredit about it, and I’m shocked to noticed that the posts are from like 9 or 10 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Watercolour/

    There was also the jumper cables guy. Like, a user who would reply to every askreddit threat, only that his story would at some point include a line in which his father would get mad and beat him with jumper cables. Very funny.

    So many of these accounts. The site really used to have some community and lore to it, and I really don’t feel it anymore. Even things like the secret question: “What time does the narwhal bacon?”


  • Reddit really turned into yet another brainrot doom scroll website.

    I think back to what it used to be, how I used to engage with the communities and it’s depressing to see how that was lost. I miss the old API especially. I used to have personal project around it that helped me use it. It was fun to develop and maintain, and it really helped me out browsing reddit.

    when they changed the api ruled I tried still to use it, but their interface to create an account to use the free api (I was querying so little it would have applied to use the free api), never worked. I tried for months until finally giving up.





  • I think it’s a master piece. I played a lot of it.

    I do kind of have a problem with the RNG because at some point I already know what I need to do to solve a puzzle, but I just need to get the right rooms to be able to actual make the puzzle. I don’t have a lot of time to play games, so I gravitate away from it due to this.

    But aside from that, I think this is one of the most amazing games I’ve played. The lore, the design, the puzzles themselves. I’ve had quite a few moments where I was completely mind blown with things.


  • I think the oscillation described people’s activity time. Over the course of a day, people who would register for a VPN are much more likely to do so during the evening, because during the day they are busy with work. So you observer on a daily basis a peak like this.

    Such charts are very common with services used daily. For example, social media usage in a given region often has a peak during the morning, a big peak during lunch time, and in general goes up after work time.

    Of course not everyone works at the same time, but a majority of people have more or less the same work times, so we observe the peaks.
