Simplified UI and free games... Pretty much the only two things lol. Pointless dramas as per usual on the internet forums of all kinds of fandoms - not my cup of tea, so I don't really care to engange anymore in them. Healthier on my mental side too.
what do you love most about F95zone?

And taking years break in between doesn't feel like being missed out on the entertainment so much. Like, I've returned recently from the abstinence of video games and just like before, all the games are still in the exact same place I left them. No wonder some people indulge deeply into retro gaming culture nowadays, cos many games are still available through various sources decades later. Though, the core issue with most consumers is that some people can no longer maintain healthy relationship with consumable media, whether it's video games, news outlets, social media platforms and other pieces of information. Going outside and touching the grass actually do wonders lol.
I enjoy that it feels like a bit like the internet of old, when there was little in the way of corporate interests and astroturfing everywhere. It still has that feel of just being a bunch of enthusiasts sharing their hobbies, without some CEO up top trying to figure out how to squeeze money out of the users. There's also the fact that it's small enough that you actually recognize a fair amount of people in the forums.
Damn.

Yea, it looks like you're right. Checking the Patreon for Icarus does seem to show he's alive as well. I'm happy to have misunderstood his sign-off message then. Regardless of not sharing his kinks or sexual preferences, I wouldn't savor his death.
That said, he abused the quote "I am just going outside and may be some time." said by Lawrence Oates before he wandered off into an Antarctic blizzard hoping to save Robert Scott's polar excursion party by removing himself as a hindrance. It's held as an example of classic British stoicism of a bygone era and sometimes cited during a final farewell when demise is imminent. To use the quote when you're ragequitting a flame war is... melodramatic, at least.
So I guess that's something else I love about F95. Watching the drama play out is never boring. The key is trying to stay out of it or at least stay neutral so you can survive the inevitable mod purge.
