The Tomba games are great! I was thinking of replaying them this year, actually, probably for my Halloween gaming season (it's not horror, I know, but there's a lot in the games that was just creepy to me as a kid)

Spyro the Dragon - the first game specifically, I find it more of an immersive treasure-hunting experience than the next two games, which are more obviously... I dunno, video game-y. I like all three but I always 100% the first game at least once a year.
Worth keeping in mind that Facebook has manipulated data before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_to_video#Facebook_metrics_controversy
In September 2016, Facebook admitted that it had reported artificially inflated numbers to its advertisers about how long viewers watched ads leading to an overestimation of 60-80%[44] Facebook apologized in an official statement and in multiple staff appearances at New York Advertising Week.[45][46] Two months later, Facebook disclosed additional discrepancies in audience metrics.[47][48] In October 2018, a California federal court unsealed the text of a class action lawsuit filed by advertisers against Facebook, alleging that Facebook had known since 2015 that its viewership numbers were inflated "by some 150 to 900 percent" and waited over a year before taking action to disclose or fix the problem, citing internal Facebook communications that "somehow there was no progress on the task for the year" and decisions to "obfuscate the fact that we screwed up the math."[49][50]
It wasn't gradual, but I didn't make a deliberate choice either. It was during 2020. My fear of covid (I did get it, it was hell) outweighed my desire to go to the liquor store. By the time places were opening up again, I realized my life was a lot more livable without the blackout binges. I've felt really weird about it ever since then, that I don't really have an inspirational "I chose to do this, it was my strength and willpower to get better" quitting story since it was purely from literally not being able to, but I try to just be grateful because it really was destroying my life.
I used to refuse to even consider variants on smores for some reason I genuinely don't remember, I guess just for being committed to being a joyless pedant. I was like the grilled cheese copypasta guy. I can't believe I was missing out on stuff like this
Never worked there but the Taco Bell subreddits were daily reads for me. I think the most consistently hated were basically any of the gimmick options, like the $1 Crunchwrap Sliders were my favorite food ever when they were around, but I was mortified to learn the employees HATED making them. A lot of the grilled stuff seems to be difficult. Nacho fries, though I don't remember why. I know ordering a bean burrito grilled was considered a douchebag move, but I think they removed the option to do that.
That's @RSS, for those who might want to look it up (I really wish kbin would show posters' instances more clearly). Subscribed!
I think by "here" OP meant the fediverse in general, hence "an interesting topic and the right community". I would guess this is just encouraging people to post more in general (which I appreciate as I was mostly a lurker for my 13 years on Reddit)
I plan on switching instances whenever account transfer becomes feasible! But as it stands right now I'd rather not have to get my account set up all over again for another instance that might potentially go down or make radical changes. That was the very thing that put me off of Mastodon, before they added migration, and I'd rather not repeat that again. (If you have more time and energy than I do, and you're thinking about manually migrating - absolutely do so)
I've been saying this to friends, but I'd be careful with even cursory viewing of Reddit for the foreseeable future. It took a long enough time as it was for Reddit to become not overwhelmingly reactionary. The Reddit migration moving into primarily leftist spaces is going to leave behind a website that is quite literally conservative, and bitter. (Note that I am not suggesting people stay behind to re-balance it, merely to be aware that the site is not going to be just the same site with less people on it.)
I'm so sorry.
On the opposite side from what others are saying (though I don't disagree with them), it's not your responsibility to fix them or change their mind if it would risk your safety... even if you have the means. It's a difficult position, and it could create even more resentment. You're a part of your community, but you have to keep yourself safe, too.
If you like this post, you gotta see the response post Straycatj made:
