Rebel Galaxy is an exploration/open world-ish space game with weird controllers but a pretty fun gameplay. You get to fine-tune different classes of ships with a variety of weapons, shields, engines, etc. while completing missions to earn money and earn reputation with different factions.

It's basically Sid Meier's Pirates, but in space and with a modern look. I found it highly entertaining.

Too bad they don't seem to be federating. Just tried signing up to that specific community from Kbin, but it doesn't show the content. Oh well, gonna keep my eye on it, regardless.

That's gotta be up there with the best drunk Cup parade speeches of all time, lmao. Love the woman just trying to take his mic away xD

Also, after they took his mic away, Carrier honored his last name and carried him off the stage.

Excellent response, and pretty much what I was going to say. I have a few hobbies (games, movies, camping, reading, live music) that I don't always have time for, at the same time. So sometimes I'll spend my free time hiking and camping, other times I'll watch movies in the evenings when I get home, and other times I'll play games.

Even something you enjoy can get tiring, if you do it a lot; and there's nothing wrong with putting that aside for a time, to spend time doing other things you like.

There are admins who are listed as mods in some subreddits, even if they probably don't do any moderation these days. Spez is a mod of r/HighQualityGifs, for example.

Snowboarding hasn't been mentioned yet.

Anyone who wants to do it somewhat seriously has their own pair of boots, from a reputable brand. Renting, or buying used boots is for rookies.

Also, there's the high-end boards from brands like Burton, Jones and Capita, which will actively try to kill anyone who doesn't know how to ride well.

Honestly, as a kid, the first time I beat the Elite Four in the original Pokemon Blue. I felt like I could accomplish anything, at that moment xD

This was my first thought, too. That game is so incredible, and the suicide mission is such a wonderful way to bring it all together.

Just a note for OP, June is the sixth month, and you wrote 7 in the title xD

As far as what I'm reading, I'm starting 'Noble Roots', by Drew Hayes, one of my favorite authors. The book is part of an RPG-lit series that it's really fun and interesting. I'm not quite sure of where it's going, but I'm enjoying the ride so far. The first book is called 'NPCs'.

m/AskKbin is entertaining, and there's obviously m/news. I've also subscribed to m/fediverse, to keep up with news specific to that.

And if I'm allowed a little self-promotion, check out m/snowboarding, if you've ever been curious about strapping a piece of wood to your feet and flinging yourself down a mountain xD
