Never thought I'd see a Trackmania meme in the wild.

Very much depends on the country you're in too though. I live in a 1000 people village and "bus to nearest train station -> train(s) -> bus to destination" beats car in terms of speed as soon as my destination is more than ca 30km away.
Reaching the nearest grocery stores takes about 10 minutes by car (incl. finding a parking spot) and 15 by bus, so it's not a huge difference either.
It is a huge decrease in flexibility though. The busses will only drive every 30 minutes or 1 hour, depending on the time of day.
As a big fan of TSM (I know I know) I gotta say I love that this budget "swan song" roster still puts up an interesting fight even in the games they're losing.
I wonder how Ruby coming in next week will impact their performance.
Also thank you for creating those post match threads, been missing those but I was feeling a bit lazy today. I'll make sure to comment in most of them next week if you make them again!
My favorite comment regarding Noita is still the top comment on YouTube to the launch trailer (the first trailer on the Steam store page.)
Basically the secret to becoming a master of this game is to learn how to resist the urge to do 90% of the things you see in this trailer.
Which has been at the top of the YouTube comments for a long time for good reason. I fucking love this game though.
I think what will happen is that a lot of the subs are eventually going to end up in the hands of the few mods who love sucking up to the admins and the mods who are in it for the dopamine they gain power-tripping instead of the mods who are in it to make the subreddit the best version of itself.
This will only further the "5 Mods Control 92 Of The Top 500 Subs" issue and lead to overall less happy, less engaged users.
I got a similar setup, but instead of AL-Chan I'm using Taiga to keep everything tracked since I watch most of my stuff downloaded on my PC.
Taiga also helps with finding torrents, which can be nice.
The difference between "pure infrastructure costs" and total costs of third party apps are the opportunity cost in ads and other potential money making schemes (NFT avatars etc.) that they cannot shove down people's throats on third party apps.
They even specifically admitted to this in one of the calls with the Apollo dev so it's not just conjecture on my part.
Edit: Of course that doesn't mean that Reddit's decision is a good thing. They'll have even more opportunity cost if many of their power users just leave, which seems to be the logical result to their actions.
