I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
Tbf, while daily-driving Firefox I do occasionally encounter websites (mostly web apps) that do not work on Firefox. But it’s often a pretty simple fix, like sometimes I can get around it myself just through Dev Tools shenanigans.
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
Not really. Planetside is an FPS with fluid combat. And it doesn’t have MMORPG-style quests or environments. I think another way of saying the idea would be “Chivalry with persistent maps and an overworld tying them together in some way.”
I like the idea of playing out the Byzantine generals problem in multiplayer or I guess with just another AI general too. Does Radio Commander have that element at all?
I agree with you. It’s been a while since I played a Mario Kart though. I got turned off by the “wiggle while drifting to get a boost” mechanic in Mario Kart DS (which I know is a fairly old game at this point). Even when I got good at it, it still felt really tedious to do all the time. But idk, maybe newer versions have a different mechanic now?
I feel like the admins and their actions were just not that visible back in the day too. Aside from the occasional drama around banning a high-profile sub, the fact that Reddit was run by a company with its own interests didn't come into play very often. With the admin layer hidden, Reddit the website felt like a sandbox run by the community.
I've been on reddit for a long, long time and i've seen all the changes that have happened in the past decade. I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and have seen the slow infestation of bots, karma whores, and guerilla marketing disguised as posts....
It seemed like there was a backlash against it. At some point you would get downvoted for citing hailcorporate in comments. If I were more conspiratorial-minded, I would think that Reddit started throwing in downvotes at any comments mentioning hailcorporate, because it would hurt Reddit's image and advertiser-friendliness. But I've noticed that, across social media, some folks seem to get really upset when you point out that a post is fake/marketing/staged. So maybe that's just online culture now...
Edit: there were legitimate issues with people citing hailcorporate on posts that they just didn't like. But that seemed relatively minor to me.
So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem. (images4.imagebam.com)

What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

As the Reddit war rages on, community trust is the casualty (arstechnica.com)
First active day on the fediverse after 11 years on Reddit, and liking it here!
