I don't wanna be mean to the guy who effectively just lost his job but like, come on bro. Reddit wasn't exactly hiding their negative intentions, outright lies, and lack of respect.

They've got color laser printers too, just bought a HL-L3290CDW last week to replace my roommate's cheap Canon printer that I got tired troubleshooting every time we needed to print something. Absolute monster of a print device: color laser printer+scanner+copier+fax machine and a seamless printing process to boot.

Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.

It wasn't broken as hell after like two weeks of development when the critical glitches like save corruption were getting fixed. As someone who didn't overhype the game for a decade and only bought it because I knew everyone else was going to, I had a great time. It was just cool to hate the game up until the anime dropped and everyone suddenly forgot they hated it.

Even if the obvious situation wasn't just "companies treat us terribly so we don't care about them," why would anyone want to work? Am I supposed to desire wasting a third of my life doing labor? Fuck no, I support automation and UBI.

It's just another dumb boomer insult trying to step on the nerves of people who didn't grow up huffing leaded gasoline.

It's not gonna extinguish the fediverse in the same way nobody leaving reddit joined Mastodon as a replacement. They're technically compatible, but these are entirely different styles of sites we're talking about. Lemmy and Kbin are gonna keep on trucking regardless of what happens to the Twitter-likes.

But they're definitely going to try and kill Mastodon/similar through social engineering. Everybody's favorite content creators, organizations, and brands will be on Threads, not Mastodon, and when they lock it down we'll lose access to them and end up needing a Threads account. I don't understand why anyone trusts this company won't try to secure market dominance and then monopolize it. The guy says "we'll just be right back where we are now," but this could easily decrease the Mastodon population by pulling away anyone who doesn't care about federation or open source and just wanted a decent Twitter alternative.

I mean, the answer kinda just has to be something like Call of Duty to make sense. Think about how much evolution that series has gone through over the years, and how many components there are between campaign, multiplayer, Zombies, spec ops, battle royale, and most recently DMZ. It's probably the most variety you'd get from just one franchise.

I'm gonna say it's been pretty mid so far. Lots of great games but many marred by technical issues at launch. Of the five in the image, Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, and TOTK all suffered from pretty bad performance of varying degrees (worst case scenario for TOTK is on a 2017 Switch, to clarify). Modern Warfare II was chock-full of crashes, broken features, and bugs. Resident Evil 4 was mostly solid, but for some reason the Xbox version had an issue where the deadzones were markedly worse on controller than any other platform.

Hoping it gets better as the PS5-Xbox-PC workflow is improved and Nintendo finally launches a Switch successor that gives their developers more headroom. Game design quality isn't going down (except MWII), but games are dropping from an acceptable functionality standard with an annoying "fix it later" mentality.

Pretty good, just like r/Games was. r/gaming was a cesspool and r/Games was where all the actually interesting content was.

And as we've seen time and time again on reddit, people who only read the headline and go on gut feeling tend to end up making an ass out of themselves when they try to comment because they're missing all the context.

It doesn't work. This is a world filled with clickbait and "technically the truth" headlines meant to draw in clicks, not a real description of the content.
