🗣 Useful links for SW newbies (and non-newbies)! 🗣
When you’ve been around for a while, it can start to feel like everything is obvious on SW. But there’s a few hidden places and information that are used a lot but aren’t linked anywhere, so new users probably won’t have found them. So I’m making a list to help you all out :D and feel free to contact me if you need any help with anything else SW-related.
And if you’re an old member with something else that should be on this list please lemme know 😌 I will add to it over time. Also I’m pinning this to my profile so this doesn’t become a hidden link too 🤣

This is by far the most commented post on the site 👀 it’s a simple word association game that’s been being played non stop by a lot of users basically since SW started. Go to the Newest First page to find the most recent answers and you should get the gist of it pretty quick.
