Why am I not surprised?

What annoys me the most is the stance he keeps trying to project that reddit is just a a 'poor lil company, never any profit, just a little fish'.

Hearing that he wants to bring in the ability to oust established moderators by votes?

Good luck, who wants to literally give their time and energy to this company now for free? Not me anymore.

What a sad, sad interview.

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?

Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me

After Snowden's efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I'm not at all interested in letting that country have my data

What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.

What a sad day to lose someone like that.

In my case, the biggest sub I help moderate has one mod who made the whole thing. From the ground-up, a great community of people, very few fights and a ton of people subscribed. It really is like a 'model' example of how the communities should work.

They jusy can't understand how we'd be willing to throw it all away over a company's stupid move. I guess in this instance, it is well over a decade of making a great place. And I can see why he feels awful.

But to me that is the only power we have...having people who will burn it down to make a stand.

I won't be there after this month ends and my 3rd party apps go.

You've been paying the Apple Tax!

Newpipe is the way to go!

Download videos, download audio, have no ads, listen to audio with the screen locked.

I love Newpipe!

The video looked incredible, didn't it! I'm really looking forward to playing...one day. Fantasy can't ever have enough games in that genre for me.

Also, having never played Oblivion, this is right up my alley!

Chatted with the moderator teams for the subs I am a part of. Two of them agreed we'll go dark indefinitely, and we have joined in on that via ModCoord's post.

The largest with just under 1m users is still thinking about it, but I'm fighting for it.

We need to push them where it hurts: active users for their ads to be used on.

I found that so curious in Tokyo, even some hole-in-the-wall food shops would use the ticket system when the attendant is standing right next to the ticketing machine!

But, it is ubiquitous over there.

Weirdest thing I saw over there was deep fried sparrows.

Or the garden shop I went into had a (poor thing) monkey in a large cage who jacked off furiously and threw it at me.

Oh Tokyo, from one extreme to the other!

Hey, somehow I didn't even notice this?

I think you saved a lot of pondering, and made this whole post a bit pointless! Thanks so much, I just got it!

Now, I might as well start at the start!

Comfort of my couch + TV on my Series X far outweighs whatever improvements sitting at a desk provides.

Xbox comes with comfort, and to me that is priceless

It is the techical help that hurts the most. Raspberry Pi, Linx and Steam Deck are the big ones I find help for on Reddit.

But to be fair it just encourages me to search harder elsewhere, or better yet forces me to tinker more myself to find the solutions.

Regardless, it is a wealth of users that the users have given for free for so long.

Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!

I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you'd think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.

It just didn't really explain what I needed to do. I don't need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and 'menial tasks' to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn't pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.

Abzu though, that was amazing!

I've got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I'll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I'll like this!

(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that's why I haven't jumped to it yet!)

Isn't this Pop-OS's thing? Being literally for the gamers on Linux?

Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I think if like me you are a total scardey-cat then it'll be an effort!

I adore the visuals, the world, how well it runs on my Steam Deck. I have a slight girl-crush on Claire (after a full-blown crush on Jill after playing RE:3 before this!), and a disctinct realisation that if a zombie apocalypse comes? I am toast.

The issue is I am terrible with scary games! But I am really quite taken with the world in the game!

5/7 so far

SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone make me realise when I watch something on my Xbox just how bad regular viewing can be

Here is a site which removes paywalls for you, for future reference!

The Matrix is one of my fav movies ever. The first one, anyway. That scene where Dissolved Girl by Massive Attack plays, this piece of magic is seen

I've always been small like a rabbit. You should probably follow me, too.

I've seen a lot of discussions on the batmobile being a let-down in the third game!

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

We shouldn't use that word or the meaning behind it as a slur for anything.

You can be better than that.

Maybe ny fav game of the last 5 years. Control just took my breath away.

The Stephen King/Twin Peaks-feeling atmosphere I needed in a game, and yep, Jesse Faden was 100% my gym motivation for a solid month there!!

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can't recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

I'm done.

The subs I moderated have either gone dark, or are going dark in the next ciuple days.

And with that I let the mod teams I was a part of know that I am moving on. I hate what reddit did to the community, and my time feels better spent where it will be appreciated.

Just flipped the switch (so to speak) on a couple subs I moderate, and the largest (just shy of 1m users) will be going dark in a few hours.

What surprised me most is how well the members are took it. To be fair the subs I moderated are typically quite tech-minded, so everyone is quite in-the-know with what is happening and why.

It makes me furious that a site built and maintained by the users is being exploited at the users' expense.

I hope Reddit bleeds money from this silly line they drew in the sand.

Thank you so much for this! Your tips really help here. I'm almost ashamed (almost) to admit 99% of the games I've been playing so far have been non Steam games. So the, ah, 'legit' way of doing things is something I'm not so used to yet!

Sooo, are you able to explain how I turn automatic game updating off?

These are so great, I'm going to look through each mod you've recommended!

Actually looks like I'll only be playing through Asylum and City. Bought all three on my Steam Deck, but for some reason Knight is unsupported on there.

But, I'm happy to start with the original and enjoy it from there!

Ye-es, pretty much what I worried it would be! A shame, since I love how it looks, but car-drivey-Batman doesn't seem too much of a winner to me :(

Really interesting how many comments here think Knight is the better of the three!

the Flirc case for Raspberry Pi

Can't recommend it enough!

I have cautious optimism that this will be okay. I'm guessing it will be the typical towards the end-ish-of-the-year vinyl release, since each year they've been remastering their album catalogue?

I hope this is good!

That's the strange part. A few days old and a total of 4 minutes play-time!

I just hope its maybe stuck in the system, like you said, for a few days.

I can't be frustrated, because the system exists for our benefit, I think I'm just mystified why it is taking some time!

For any other girls, for God's sake get a proper fitted bra. Spend the money. It's a world of difference

The Metroid Prime Remake was beautiful to see on my Switch. Really appreciated playing through that. I had to have a online walkthrough on hand, but that's just me!

Well worth the price.

Speaking for myself, I'm enjoying the break!

OP what do you think about Xenoblade Chronicles X? Have you played? Is this an okay one to 'start' with?

Usually I see mecha and I am all in, but haven't played yet! Would love to hear if you have played it.

All I want is that kinda standalone side 'campaign' which has Mark Hamill involved. How they could make that and sit on it is beyond me!

I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.

The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I'll check them all out!

Well that was amazing! Here's on for you in return

Really glad you both suggested this game!

Am having an absolute blast playing!!!!!
