Gyre: Pillage build and unhealthy amounts of strength bring me a lot of satisfaction
Caliban: Nourish and Primed Flow give him as much energy as he needs to shine. His 4 is kinda like Xaku’s 3, but where Xaku’s 3 lasts more and is wider, the defense strip from Cali’s 4 is permanent and drains both shields and armor at the same time (also it stacks an infinite amount of times
Zephyr: has it all, many fun and viable helminth combinations (coil horizon to put enemies into tornado range from further away, silence to negate eximus and make overguarded melee enemies your only threat, spectrorage to generate energy from tornado kills), AND she’s the best frame for solo SP Circuit (in fact, i’ve never gone levelcap yet, but i believe Zephyr with Silence and Assimilate Nyx with something to slow overguarded melee enemies down OR Dispensary is a perfect duo). Also, if your starter frame was Volt and you switch with Zephyr but miss the speed, Jet Stream has you covered
Reddit was never going to just shut down overnight, but it’s more or less done for me (barring some sudden change with the API stuff, but even then I’d make an effort to use it less). I’ll keep my account around and might occasionally go to it to look up specific things or visit more niche communities that don’t have much of a presence here or on other alternatives yet, but I’m done with just generally browsing reddit or providing any content for them. I’m enjoying it here and hope the boost in activity allows for continued growth and filling out of communities for more specific topics.
I’m almost always reading at least one of both, but usually two nonfiction and one fiction. Basically: have two topics for learning to avoid monotony; and have a fiction around for pure diversion.
I started my own instance and do currently not intend to open it for others (besides, maybe, close friends and family).
My intention are
to learn more about the concepts
evaluate how reliable the replication of comments and posts works
maybe create my own pseudo-community just for myself, as kind of a simplified blog
Reading other posts in this sub, I saw it is still seen as offloading the main servers, as the replication of the data is a low load compared to serving the UI. Maybe one of these motivations apply to you, too? Or you find another one? At the end of the day, host your own instance if you want to :-)
