True, but I figure a year gives me time to see how things pan out. You need some time to find out what the community patches will be like.

Such a pathetic state of affairs.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Just Tod Howard streamlining your RPG experience so that he can say "it just works".

I have a personal one year embargo on starfield for this exact reason.

Not touching it t until a year after release, waiting to see if it's fucked or not... Bethesda, eh.

I'm entirely against changing the name because I think that the whole conversation about why is fucking asanine.

But...

If we do change it, can we change it to "Politically Correct Master Race" for a laugh? The acronym would still work... :)

Cool, thanks for explaining.

I doubt they'd be bothered too much by impacting the first part though, they've shown to be entirely willing to lose userbase in order to force their app, so retention probably doesn't interest them there if people start using the RSS feed as a 3rd party app.

I think the crux of it would come more down to whether or not they want to deal with the potential SEO hit that could come from getting rid of it.

Should be interesting to watch how they handle it, at any rate.

On a personal note, I'm pretty much done with Reddit after how they've acted recently, but watching them running around in the road, trying to play with the busses is genuinely fascinating.

Wrong, fuck this guy:

Interesting, what does Reddit even use an RSS feed for?

Clearly an unjustified ban. :p

That's cool and everything, but if it's scraping the site they'll block that shit straight away, they've already said as much and scraper blocking is relatively easy to do these days.

Good luck though.

Yeah, X4 is probably the best out of all of the X-series games so far. But they've pretty much all been awesome that way. The series certainly has its own unique gaming style, for sure.

There aren't many games where you can legitimately play it as an arcade spaceship shooter, and just as legitimately play it as a 4X economics/war strategy game and never even leave the map screen for 50 hours at a time whilst conquering whole quadrants of the galaxy.

Or you can make a warband and pretty much go Mount and Blade (In SPAAAAAAAACE!). Likewise, going pure pacifist and just doing space-trucker stuff is also a perfectly legit playstyle too, as is turning it into a corporate management sim, etc, etc, etc...

Really fantastically simulated and open-ended series of games.

We've also got a fediverse community for X4 over on Kbin.social now too (although it's still young). It's over at https://Kbin.social/m/X4Foundations if you're interested.
