To add to the other responses, I think there's maybe a sense of relief or novelty in it, as the rest of many of these games are intense and/or violent. Having a little wholesome moment in the midst of all that really stands out.

What did you think the "k" in "kbin" stood for?

Ever tried to get a visa? It takes a lot of time and money, and people in these situations have neither.

I've never heard of any international law that states as such. A quick search listed the agreements between the US and Canada, as well as the Dublin III agreement in the EU, both of which have exceptions for family members, but neither of these are all-encompassing international laws or would prohibit what's being described here.

If you're helping set it up, check out Mere Launcher. I made it partly for my wife's grandmother who has trouble with fancier UIs. If they're looking for simple, it might help.

Alcohol, taken orally. It's not a good solution, but it does reduce itching for a while.

The funny thing is, Reddit might have had a chance to become profitable. If spez implemented a reasonable pricing scheme for the API (even charging two or three times what they'd expect to make from a user using the first party app--magnitudes lower than the proposed pricing), and if they made a few other adjustments, it might be profitable. They already had the advantage of not having to pay for moderation, which was huge.

I think the pig is getting away though--he might not even get that first round of bacon.

Ironically, if Reddit were to adopt a reasonable pricing scheme for the API, the more reputable AI companies would probably just pay it instead of switching to web scraping, and Reddit could actually make something from it.

I've been a software developer in corporate America long enough to have some guesses as to why they really want everyone using the first-party app.

Reddit CEO lashes out on protests, moderators and third-party apps (techcrunch.com)

"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite...

Good. It means the quality of content on Reddit will continue to tank, and it'll hit the potential investors in the only place they can feel anything--their wallets (assuming it ends up public at all).

It's a shame that Reddit is becoming a lost cause, but it's not the place the internet came to love for all those years. It's better to be put out of its misery.
