Disgusting? It’s a few slices of ham and cheese. It’s basic, but you find ham and cheese to be disgusting?

They largely are. $70 is becoming the new price point for a new game.

If it’s anything like Path of Exile, around 60% of their playerbase uses Steam over their standalone launcher.

It’ll be nice to at least track playtimes and have that data in 1 location.

Might as well open a Roth IRA and start contributing to an index fund like VTI or VOO.

Long term stable growth and tax beneficial. The earlier you start saving for retirement the better, compound growth is very powerful.

I think a lot of gamers just don’t care enough too. I know so many people that buy a game on release, play it for a few hours, and then drop it. Even AAA titles that are actually good.

Steam achievements kinda confirm that as well, there is a fair bit of drop-off on even the most popular games.

Given CDPRs track record with the deep Witcher series discounts I’d expect a complete 2077 edition for cheap in a few years.

Survivor games which are very similar to roguelites can also be an option. Vampire Survivors being the big one. Runs are up to 30 minutes long with permanent unlocks in the form of characters and new power ups or boosts.

It’s a great lesson in how important elections are. Trump was able to appoint multiple supreme court justices which have shaped the future of America for years due to their most recent decisions and will continue to shape it for decades after he is gone.

Yeah I fully expect reddit to replace the moderators but it will take time and effort to select the right people.

If all the mods who protested actually resigned or moved their subs to being unmoderated it would’ve crippled the site, reddit would not be able to replace them quick enough.

It’s unfortunate that the threat alone was enough to get most of them to reopen.

Iron Danger.
It’s an indie tactical RPG that’s RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don’t work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it’s linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it’s lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it’s an interesting take on the style of combat.

I would third control. I picked it up from the Humble female protagonist bundle and it was fantastic, loved everything about it.
Once you unlock all the powers the combat and exploration really open up, and the game still has a significant bit of story left giving you time to have some fun with them.

Also loved the environmental lore, all the notes and the vids with Dr. Darling are great. Highly recommend the game.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sat on the reddit board for years and was briefly CEO for 8 days.

This is a great protest technique that I think everyone can get behind because it’s fun. It might actually increase engagement in the short term as everyone wants to mess around with it, but in the long term if this stays active it hurts the subs actual usability.

The hypocritcal thing here is that Worldpolitics did this years ago and reddit didn’t care.

Reddit already fudges numbers although not to that extent. If you go to someone’s page from their profile and downvote all their comments it won’t actually count.

Exact upvotes and downvotes are also a little fluid, it’ll give you a number within a range but not an exact amount depending on the amount of interaction on a post.

You may see some people refer to the baseline Skyrim as the AE as when the AE released the SE got baseline upgrades and some creation club content is included by default (fishing, survival mode, Saints and Seducers, and Rare curios) so it has been changed since the SE release.

The paid AE DLC only adds the rest of the creation club content. There are some interesting things in it, but nothing mandatory. You can pick and choose what you want though, so you’re not forced to run the entire pack. Just think of it as a bundle of paid mods that you’ll have to check compatibility to your other mods.

Most, if not all, the RPG labels are insanely broad in a literal sense.

I’ve seem some now refer to CRPG as Classic-RPG rather than Computer-RPG which is much more fitting for the type of game that it is used to describe.
Similarly, ARPG is often used to refer specifically to Diablo-clones, although I’ve seen this usage start falling out of favor.

I don’t think reddit will die, but they definitely hurt themselves. The fediverse grew by leaps and bounds over the past week, reddit drove so much traffic to their potential competitors. Then when the 3rd party apps die, they’ll lose some more.

Reddit is gambling on gaining enough revenue from pushing people on 3rd party apps to 1st party that it makes up for the loss of users overall.

People on reddit say “Why do we care about 3rd party apps, it’s such a small section of the userbase” But apparently reddit cares enough about that small section of the userbase that they need to push them to their own app.

Too many users on reddit love this because they hate mods and think reddit is somehow going to get rid of moderation when reddit is trying to be advertiser friendly.
