Oddly enough, one of the old BB forums from just after the Something Awful days is one of the few places I went back to when Reddit started dying. Sure enough, thousands of folks had never left and the "bump a post" system is still working beautifully on ancient forum software with a few new additions (embedded media handling, etc).
Kudos to those folks who never left, they had the right idea and I was so glad to be accepted back into the fold.
It was a huge immersion breaker for anyone not going stealth/low profile (as the author admits he does). In fact, it was the reason I haven't played until now. I guess I'm a patient gamer and it irked me what was missing from launch. I'd built my 2070 machine for this game years ago and now I'm stoked to have a 3080 to break it in with.
I still can't believe this works and actually puts people back in the fight. If we'd tried this in old 2nd or 3rd edition tabletop we'd be laughed at by our DM.
Don't forget those "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" voting against their own interests.
Frankly, I can't believe how many different posts I've seen about that article today. Amazing.
You'd be surprised to realize what a pain in the ass it is to host a good deal of videos. There's more lost content (shows, movies and commercials) combined than archived data that exists today. Media was simply not kept and storage written over. Sadly, we're going to keep losing it.
I stopped modding back in GTAIV because of Rockstar's bullshit. They nearly got my channel deleted age have always been dicks about modding, which is doubly upsetting when you see how greedy and stale they've become with the games.
Whoosh..
Defederated instances took it too personally, it was by design. Beehaw may have jumped the gun acting quickly and we can disagree with their reasoning all we want, but that's their prerogative to isolate/protect the community they have. It's a feature, not a bug.
This guy brought the receipts!
Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.
You joke but way back in the day those 3D pipes caused a little IT chaos...
