Popular Websites/Games You Don't Use/Haven't Played at All?
I was feeling bored, so I decided to make a low-effort topic thread. Anyway, what are websites that's (in)famous on the internet or video game that you just barely visited/played or haven't visited/played at all?

For websites, it's Instagram for me. Ever time people mention it on other websites, I feel like they're talking about visiting Outer Space or the Twilight Zone. For video games, its all the Soulsborne games and other games like them. I could never get into their combat gameplay, and I sometimes I wish I could because I feel left out when the internet is obsessing over the latest game since each one seems to be a masterpiece (besides Dark Souls 2, I guess? I know a lot people don't like that one).

Sometimes I want to get into Elden Ring, Dark Souls and so but can't seem to bring myself to this, I just don't want to spend hours on remembering bosess' patterns. Also Fortnite, I don't like how they just buy off every available license to desperately keep the game alive [for example, LEGO nowadays]. I remember the time where games were tailored with soul, love, passion and other humanly emotions instead of being poorly designed with investors' money.

X(formerlly known as Twitter). That place is a toxic cesspool full of hate, and I never have or ever will make an account on that site. All the more reason to stay away since Elon Musk made it a joke.

I still use just to shit post, look at art, and share NSFW. You really just gotta block every blue checkmark account you see (especially ones with Ryan gosling and Patrick Bateman PFP). but yeah, Twitter's just an even bigger cesspool than it was before (I'm not calling it X. I don't care what the billionaire says)

At this point, almost any popular thing these days would be a valid answer for me. I hardly do anything anymore. :(

Legit rarely use it, I've only recently used it to try and win some com giveaways for ocs.

Myself, never got into social media. Toxic, and lots of misinformation. I really only use discord and messenger

I tried getting into Twitter twice and found myself bored within a few days both times. I haven't touched really any other social media besides YouTube (if that counts). In general, the quality of discourse declines when attention becomes a commodity that people try to accumulate as much of as possible, and nowhere is it more present than online social media. The same thing has happened with search engines: whatever Google tries to optimize their search results for, content farms try to "gamify" their placement on the search results with their armies of underpaid writers and generative AI programs. I audibly groan whenever I have to deal with one of these articles. Moral of the story: whenever you have a technical question, Wikipedia or RTFM.

I refuse to touch any sort of streaming service. I also can't really stand video games anymore (they didn't get worse, I just got bored). Or Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Yeah, if they can deadname their child, I can deadname their site/app.

I haven’t used it, I don’t know why people still use it, and I don’t think I’m ever going to use it.

I went on it today for funsies and it was a little funny watching people argue, but also really sad seeing how many people on there just want to be assholes. Honestly not worth it.

I also don't use Instagram or Snapchat. I have used both, but the format was just too limiting.
I can't get into most gacha games. Which is probably a good thing. Either the story or gameplay usually suck, getting bogged down by repetitive battles and/or gameplay mechanics explanations that read like they were translated at 3AM by an employee who was so out of it they couldn't speak their native language, let alone English.

Looks boring. Had it for a week. It was boring.

Just write girls posting pumpkins and an occasional super facetuned Kylie Jenner pic.

Spotify
Maybe I'm just a slight boomer, but I've never ever felt a desire to use Spotify for music, ever. I always default to either Bandcamp or YouTube when I want to listen to something. Hell, even 24/7 Twitch music streams are preferable to Spotify for me.

I'll give a couple of responses that best answer this.

Genshin Impact / Fortnite / Valorant

Animal Crossing

Twitter / Twitch

Edit: Forgot to add Guilty Gear.
