Both, hard to shove soap on your back, easy on your belly

Add to that Ultima Underworld - the first FP hack + slash, paved the way for Elder Scrolls. The fully immersive plot in 2 where you went into different worlds all with their own backstory was huge. The magic system was pretty good too
Yeah, I almost did it, skipped digg. Seemed like a poor reddit clone at the time. Was nice to be on the right side, but sad to see it fall away. All for RSS, open source and federation though, so its nice. Reddit could have done the same - when they open sourced and allowed voat to be, they could have had a federated framework then - and allowed individual servers to handle their own APIs. They could have charged a license fee or something to commerical users who put ads on and made profits, but open source wins again I guess!
Nethack. I first bought it in a floppy in a mall in the 90s for my 486 and it's still the same today.
Reddit is so vast because so many people have so many niche interests, but so many other people share them. I understand Lemmy is just starting out but will really need to let people do their own thing. Also super curated expert subs are some of the best. Ask history/science even eli5 are super great reading. Also random things like hfy are brilliant
Parenting! Have a baby and a pre-schooler and find it good to vent/understand strategies to deal with the critter's and my relationship to their other parent
Not just animals but nature in general. Been doing a bioblitz in my local area and been loving understanding everything that lives around me is really cool.
I don't want to sound facile or diminish anything, but does it matter? Like gender is such a societal construct. Just be you. Maybe there isn't guy or girl at all. You are just a person with interests and feeling and desires and so long as you are true to them and don't let haters or the implied roles of society/family tell you what you should do, just be content.
Maybe it's just me, but I try not to think of things as boy/girl. When I raise my family I try not to let them think of things through that lens either.
What do you find that you need to put labels on? Maybe I'm naive, and it's relevant and helpful and my life has been so easy that I've glided through without having to worry. But I think labelling yourself is just unconstructive!
