    To me it was one of those things that it was hard to tell at first but then became noticeable once removed. Frame rates over 60 are similar for me. I didn't notice at first, but then taught myself to see it and applied the solution. Practically speaking, is that an improvement? Debatable.

    I can definitely see the difference when looking at the pendulum demo. Maybe try it without sync and see if it bothers you. If not, why bother.

    There was one April fool's day when fark switched it's layout to mimic reddit. This made me go find out what reddit was, and then realize the quality of discussion was way higher. I never went back. Tildes is giving me the same vibes as early reddit.

    I liked Circe a lot better, possibly because I read it first. I love Miller's style and they are similar in that respect. Circe felt more profound to me compared to a more straightforward story in Achilles.

    First post for me. I don't have anything special to say that hasn't already been said in this thread, but I'm happy to see a lot of people feeling the same. I have been on reddit since before the digg migration and this is probably the final straw for me (that was probably the first time the site got worse imo). I really like the vibe here so hopefully this can be a good replacement. The only thing I will miss is all the niche communites. I wonder if they will find other homes, or if reddit will remain de facto forums for the internet.
