Yeah, you're right. They try but it's not the same.
Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out "mostly right".
Dark Reader isn't perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)
My goodness, so it didn't just feel like Huffman was a discount Elon but that's literally what he is aspiring to?
I don't know what could be more pathetic than the MBA*hole emulating the Blood Emerald Silverspoon Kid Without Skills.
Reddit is so going down the drain, the downward cycle was palpable over the last years but now they're accelerating with Mach 3.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I am annoyed at myself for theme being so important for me to the detriment of enjoying great mechanics and a fun gameplay loop.
But "the heart wants what it wants" as a friend of mine is always saying.
I have and love both On Mars and Weather Machine. Complexity in games is my jam although that comes with the downside of making it cumbersome to teach.
Inventions looks neat and I dig the theme, will check out the camapign tomorrow when I have more time.
While I'm not super into the vintage formula 1 theme, the gameplay really looks neat and I dig the elegant engine heat mechanic!
I'm not going to get the game myself but if a friend brought it to the table I'd certainly jump at the opportunity to give it a go. :)
Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can't endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
I kind of love the selection of subreddits that are still available:
/r/amitheasshole, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/whatcouldgowrong, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit, among others
It paints such a lovely picture of the current situation! :D
Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I'm using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.
If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that's fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it's not worth the effort anymore.
But it's possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
