My Daily Reminder that this is a gold plated dystopia.

Cut my hands off why dont ya!
It would be hilarious if they tried to remoderate it with people instructed to dissuade piracy. They're so tone deaf, clearly, that I wouldn't be surprised.
If you want lazy action, I highly recommend a largely ignored gem. Orcs must die 3.
It's nice looking, satisfying as hell, and you can pay as much or as little attention to it as you want.
The last of us Part 1 PC.
If I'm feeling shooty, borderlands 3 or halo infinite on PC (my nostalgia for the franchises are too strong). I used to like GTA5 way back when, until it became purely a pay to win grind.
If I'm feeling like a story, I keep going back to skyrim after all these years. Also Last of Us, Spider-man, and the Jedi Outcast series.
If I'm feeling like some brain dead fun, I HIGHLY recommend a lesser appreciated gem: Orcs Must Die 3
If im feeling like spicy gaming, I have a highly modified version of skyrim for that too :)
Just as how Netlix tweeted "love is sharing a password" a couple years ago before fucking their subscribers with no lube, any confidence in reddit is gone. They professed different values than they demonstrate now.
They're making insignificant carve outs FOR NOW to mitigate bad press and negative attention. Those will also go away in the name profit if Reddit survives this betrayal, maybe in a few months, maybe in a couple years, but the ground under which a sense of community formed is shattered irrevocably.
Why make content to profit a platform that openly disrespects and lies to its users, many many of whom provided free labor on the basis of that now erased sense of trust and respect?
And it will only get worse after the IPO, when activist investors insist on monetizing their shitty first party platforms even more.
I deleted my Twitter account and haven't been back since blood diamond heir and purchaser, not founder, of Tesla Elon Musk bought it.
I'm done with reddit. I just hope the anti-capitalist subs regenerate here or I'll have to find another place to vent (again, not reddit) in that regard.
I'd love to try to make one, but I'm too busy with wage slave survival to be an attentive mod.
I totally agree. Voyager is what got me really into Trek. It really set the tone that it's easy/easier to live by the high minded, aspirational values of the federation when resources are abundant to infinite, but Voyager showed us that those values just as important if not moreso in the darkness.
And let's be honest, Sisko didn't really even seem to subscribe to those values, so DS9 wasn't similar in that regard.
Obviously not enohgh content or communities here, but the bones here seem good and that is what's important starting out.
I've seen some here openly despair that leaving reddit didn't do anything.
Spez, CEO of Reddit and former mod of the r/jailbait subreddit losing his shit very publically for days proves otherwise.
...And it's also a reminder that the reddit community we loved has already been destroyed by ownership, anyone returning would be returning to a shadow that disdains its own users and works to disempower them with every update. They're even undeleting user's deleted posts. If they can't respect users enough to be able to delete their own content, why enrich them?
