Of all the assorted protests I saw, I liked what interestingasfuck did the most. Just said "f it, here is what subs will look like with the bare minimum modding" and walked away. Mess up their front page, their advertising, and actually show what an unmodded major reddit sub would look like.

If every sub had done that instead of some milquetoast 48 hour blackout, I think it would have been at least moderately more impactful.

They can't delete it as far as I am aware. They could delete all posts and perma-private it I think, but that would be extremely tedious and the admins could revert everything a lot easier.

When you're working within their frameworks, effective protests are limited. It's why I just left.

Wrong Station: Episodic horror podcast based out of Canada. Very well written and superbly well acted. The only podcast I actively subscribe to the patreon of.

Nextlander Podcast: Gaming podcast from 3 of the founding members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).

The Jimmy Dore Show: Comedy/politics talk show. I don't actually agree with his political takes 100% of the time, but that is more interesting than listening to somebody who always agrees with me.

I am really curious how this will pan out for the casual city building enthusiast.

I liked everything about Skylines a lot, but I always ran into a roadblock (ha!) with traffic. I never designed well for it, resulting in my cities locking up by mid game. I briefly tried to learn, but it seemed almost impossible to retrofit a solution and trying to design from day 1 with traffic in mind wasn't really enjoyable. I always wish there was a mod that just abstracted traffic simulation out because it was the one thing I didn't really want to deal with.

Dealing with parking and accidents sounds like kind of a headache, but the smarter lane changes and path-finding hopefully alleviate some of the load as well.

Microsoft out here treating studios like most of us treat new games on Steam. Acquire them and then never do anything with them.

Google, that company famous for creating new technologies and supporting them for long periods of time. Definitely something I am interested in becoming an early adopter for.

iOS, iPhone X currently. Still works fine so haven't felt much pressure to upgrade. Battery still great, performance is good. I don't use my phone for pictures so haven't needed a better camera.

I have considered changing brands when I next upgrade, I would sorta like to get a Huawei phone. I am just so used to iOS at this point, I am worried about the learning curve. I struggle to use other phone OS the same way I struggle to use non-Nikon cameras, my brain just refuses to work right. Throw me down in front of a new desktop OS and I will usually grasp it instantly. It's weird.

I am in Japan and have no issues with tap water here, used to drink it regularly.

I live closer to Mt. Fuji now and go get spring water from the mountain weekly instead. There's a basin at a shrine nearby that collects it and is free for people to take. No issues with the tap water, but this water tastes a lot better.

This literally has Pro in the name, it IS the Pro model. I imagine they want to get some devs working on this and sell it as a high-cost proof of concept, with more mass-market models further down the line.

Not really. I didn't hate him as much as some characters coughZidanecough but I didn't find him endearing like a lot of people did.

I am working my way through all the FFs and will give IX a fair shot when I replay it, my opinion may have changed. I don't think I have played it since it first released.

30/70 maybe? The pacing has actually felt totally fine, I don't think there has been any moments where I felt the cutscenes were dragging out too long or dungeon sections went on for too long.

IX and XIV. IX had good elements, but I just actively disliked the entire cast of characters. I totally get why people can like it though. but it is really hard for me to get over the fact that there wasn't a single playable characte rI liked.

XIV I should love, I like MMOs and FF both (and I really liked XI), but there were a few design choices that really held it back for me. I could go into a whole essay on my issues with it if you really care. Honestly I don't even hate XIV, just don't actively like it really.
