As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

I would say Portal 2 for the laughs and story then Portal for similar reasons to OoT, then maybe Blue Prince.

It was good but some of the puzzles have terrible solutions and Tonda clearly didn’t have any qualms wasting the player’s time.

So you had an N64 and played it when it came out? Even if so, you were 7, slightly too young to really grasp the massive technical leap it represented for the entire industry at the time.

You questioned why so many consider it the best game of all time. The debate isn’t about which games have the most modern quality-of-life features today, or what I’d take to a desert island. When talking about the “greatest of all time”, cultural impact, timing, and legacy can’t be ignored.

Newton discovered the laws of gravity. We don’t diminish his monumental achievements just because physics evolved and his formulas are now taught at a high school level.

Also, my favourite Pokémon game wasn’t the first one I played as each one was an iterative improvement rather than a groundbreaking novel experience which wasn’t matched for years.

I could possibly agree with your statement “overrated in a modern context” (I’d personally put every single Final Fantasy on that list), but that’s not what the “best of all time” lists are measuring.

Blue Prince… Don’t get me wrong I got it day one, beat it blind and loved it but sticking that in your top 5 games of all time whilst throwing shade on Ocarina of Time is laughable.

I accept that if you weren’t there for it, you may never appreciate it to its full extent and might easily see it as overrated.

That said, the experience of playing Ocarina of Time in 1998 will likely never be topped, simply because we will never again see a leap as massive as the transition from 2D to 3D. Not only did they invent most of the mechanics still used today, but they somehow got the atmosphere and sense of adventure damn near perfect on their first try.

Thinking you had beaten the game after collecting the three Spiritual Stones, only to pull the Master Sword, wake up seven years in a ruined future, and realise the real journey was just starting, was mind-blowing.

Throw in time travel, the Sheik reveal, the perfect musical score alongside a blend of quirky and creepy encounters, and the game achieved levels of mystery not seen before and rarely replicated since.

Combine all of that with a pre-internet culture where every secret had to be discovered and shared by word of mouth, and it conjured a sense of magic that I don’t think will ever be reproduced… Admittedly they came close with the “you can go anywhere” aspect of Breath of the Wild.

You’re all wrong, only correct answer is:
1. Ocarina of Time
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Portal 2
4. Civilization VI
5. Slay the Spire
With Smash Melee and Hades II only just missing out.

Nope doesn’t seem so. Your best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

Agree.

Most of it sure, but there are still some active subreddits with human involvement I wish would switch to Lemmy.

Maybe, seems some subreddits still work here. Not sure if testing. The article was about potential upcoming changes which I guess are nearly upon us.

old.reddit.com has worked fine here for the past couple of weeks.

Edit: Post title fixed
