Two. I originally signed up on Beehaw, but I decided to switch after the defederation. Most of the communities I was subscribed to at the time were on World, and I hated losing access to them. Saw my current instance advertised on Mastodon and made the switch. My Beehaw account is still active, but I don’t check it very often since I can still interact with those communities through this account.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve never had a game impact me as much as it did.

I thought I was the only one that did this! Glad to know there are others out there!

DS9 is how I got into Trek after catching re-runs while working a security night shift. After that, I bounced around all the different shows / movies. Didn’t really follow any set guide or watchlist. I’d recommend starting with whatever show appeals to you most and going from there. Don’t overthink it. Just watch and enjoy.

I only message my spouse on a regular basis. Been using Signal for the last few years. Otherwise I just stick to iMessage for everything else. I don’t text anyone else that much to try and convince them to switch to Signal or another alternative.

I’ve also been testing all 4 options for iOS. There’s pros and cons to each, but my favorite so far is Memmy. It’s come so far in such a short period of time and will only continue to get better.

Having so many options is such a blessing though! I’m excited to continue watching each one grow!

I’m currently making my way through the series again after achieving 240% in Arkham Knight. So all are pretty fresh in my mind.

All the games have their strengths and weaknesses:

• Asylum is extremely linear but has some amazing sequences and really feels like you’re in an episode of the animated series. • City has a fantastic story and is more open world compared to Asylum. It definitely looks a bit dated these days and can be clunky to control at times. It is considered the best of the series for a reason though! • Origins is the prequel black sheep of the series. It wasn’t developed by Rocksteady and doesn’t have Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as the voices for Batman and Joker. The story is extremely short, but the boss battles are a ton of fun. It’s definitely worth checking out for at least one play through. Especially around the holidays! • Knight is the most polished and best looking of all the Arkham games. The story is a bit more generic / predictable than the rest, but the ending really wraps up the series nicely. The main issue people have with Knight is the Batmobile sections. While it does get overused, it’s not as bad as some make it out to be.

All the games tie into each other. Even events from Origins are referenced throughout Knight. I would recommend starting with Asylum and going from there. That way you get the full story. If you start with Knight right away, you might be confused at a lot of big events that are directly related to the other games. The opening cutscene to Knight completely spoils the ending of City as well!

TLDR: All are great in their own ways. For continuity, start with Asylum and work your way up to Knight.
