I deleted all my post history and burned my decade-old account to the ground. I have been actively avoiding everything Reddit, including search results, which has made the internet a bit of a nightmare to try and navigate.

Yeah this whole thing just feels like a huge trap for them to try and lure people back in. "Hey remember how fun r/place was? We're doing it again. Come on back! Please clap."

For a long time my answer would've been Doctor Who - I was an original Who fan who got hooked on PBS in the 80s and kept the candle burning in the 90s and early 2000s with books and Big Finish audio dramas. Now that it's back and more popular than before though, I don't know if it'd really count as "lesser known" like it used to, so for that criteria I'd have to say... Blake's 7

I felt that way at first, but ever since the big turning point update it's gotten a lot more layered and complex, to the point where I've gone from underwhelmed at the options to overwhelmed at the number of things I could be doing.

Yeah that's my big fear now that they're out of the game. They took some wacky and wild chances, but that also led to them developing some stuff that's industry standard nowadays. They had capacitive screens and wide angle camera lenses before Apple, and while it didn't "fold" like the Pixel Fold does, I believe the Flex line was the first phone to have a flexed/flexible screen - back in 2015.

Now that they're gone, I am afraid it's just going to be Apple and Samsung copying off one another with diminishing returns.

There's always No Man's Sky, I haven't played it for a year or so but I know they have added a ton of new stuff in the last few updates. Maybe not completely fulfilling, but could kill some time pleasantly

I have accidentally landed on reddit a couple of times from Google searches, but the first time I went back purposefully was yesterday, when I manually deleted all my posts/comments and then deleted my account. We'll see if it actually sticks, but I do not plan to go back there until things change.

You know what never had that problem despite years of abuse? My LG V60 Dual Screen.

I love that and would love to know how to do that
