Bethesda was under no obligation to talk to these mod devs beforehand. But it sure makes them look bad. As a recent comparable, Concerned Ape was open and communicative with all the mod devs before releasing his latest patch for Stardew Valley, a game that is just about as old as Fallout 4.

Bethesda has become a literal laughingstock at this point in time and it's just funny to point at them every time they rack up another L.

The most interesting thing in that article was that someone anonymously sent in a tip with Randele's obituary which is how they finally closed the case. Who is the rando super sleuth following this cold case for 50 years obsessively scanning obits from all over the country?

I'm in politics. I won't say who I am but you've probably heard of me.

Lately I've been wearing heel lifts inside some cowboy boots whenever I make a public appearance. I don't think anyone has noticed.

tl;dr - a small number of bad actors are causing too much trouble, so the owner is pulling the plug on Omegle rather than continuing to fight uphill against it. The post is also a sad farewell letter where Leif reminisces a bit about the old internet and how people used to actually use it to not be total assholes to strangers all the time

Relevant bits:

In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.

The battle for Omegle has been lost, but the war against the Internet rages on. Virtually every online communication service has been subject to the same kinds of attack as Omegle; and while some of them are much larger companies with much greater resources, they all have their breaking point somewhere. I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection. If that sounds like a bad idea to you, please consider donating to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that fights for your rights online.

An older comment of mine with a few new things added:

Common Bettman L.

Dude really just said fuck it, I am gonna die of old age in 10 years anyway, fuck the future.

Now the NHL has banned pro LGBTQ messaging, there are animated digital board ads during play, ads on helmets, ads on jerseys, gambling commercials, commentators talking about betting odds, embedded commercials during play, and still no reasonable means of legally streaming NHL games. Not to mention the snail's pace of the ongoing Hockey Canada sexual assault investigation (seriously, are they hoping everyone is just going to forget about this?), the hypocritical RNG state of the Department of Player Safety, and the NHL's tiptoeing around concussions and CTE. All under Bettman's watch.

Gary needs to go.

I can't believe they would do this to an Olympic gold medalist and former astronaut

It just wasn't that good. Not terrible, but very bland. I put 30 hours in but finally stopped when I realized I wasn't having fun, I was only chasing the idea of fun.

I don't even like DND and I thought BG3's first act put the entire story of Starfield to shame.

Now I'm playing through Phantom Liberty and loving the hell out if it.
