  • Building your own gaming machine was always the best option if you knew about new technologies, compatibilities, brands etc. The problem I see these days is that the market is really, really saturated in everything PC. Which makes the research necessary extensive and time consuming for people who are not exactly “on the pulse” when it comes to hardware.

    So it also becomes a question of “do I want to spend the time to get exactly what I need for the cheapest possible price?” versus just checking some meta-sites that review prebuilt PCs and pick one that is rated good by the community instead.



  • Honestly the best battlefield-experience I’ve ever had. Nearly everything can be collapsed with explosives/tanks, the VOIP feature is actually really cool (you can speak to everyone in your vincinity, also enemies & when you die your mic is open for 2 secs so the enemy might hear you curse; also, you can continue to make callouts when “down”) and and everything JustWorksTM. Solid Netcode and 60hz tickrate by default. Extremely deep weapon custimization, skins galore, prestige like in MW, it just has EVERYTHING the competition has except realistic looks. And I can see past that with what is on offer.

    But the best part? You can drag people, even enemies, around. Be it to pull them out of line of fire, or throw enemies down mountains. The possibilities are endless!

    If you like shooters and can bear the basic graphics I’d heavily recommend you give it a shot.



  • If I can let my cynical self speak for a moment: From all I’ve gathered, not too much if he can prolong the trials until he is possibly reelected (insane to even type that out). Motherfucker will just self-pardon himself like a good little fascist. He also has a favourable judge in the Miami court from what I’ve heard. A little pro-trump judge to preside over Trumps trial, the biggest presidential crime drama in the US since… Watergate? Dunno.

    Honestly its mad he’s allowed to run his campaign with several trials for high crimes on the table.


  • I dont think defederation is the way to go here. It could be another scenario that could be solve elegantly via a tagging system.

    But I agree that stuff which is in a legal grey area or outright forbidden in many countries should not show per default on All. There already is a NSFW setting that you can activate and deactivate (this btw can solve the issue to 99% for you right now if you’re willing to pass on other NSFW content).

    There could be an additional setting to see things that “might be illegal in your country of residence” or simply NSFL. If you then mark such communities appropriatly it could solve the issue for people that want a) no exposure and b) no legal risk due to being shown such communities. And I count myself among those that dont want anything to do with loli or the likes.





  • Reddit is absolutely, 100% certainly not going to step back on these change. They’ve made up their mind long ago.

    But just for the hypothetical: I think they lost a LOT of trust with the two most essential parts of the community - users and mods. Also the company (or rather, its CEO) may have taken significant image damage due to the “AMA” spez did.

    I think business will go on as usual, but the decline will be more and more noticable over time. It will go the way of Digg. Unless of course reddit decides to hire moderation themselves. But we all know they probably wont want do do that. The course seems set to selling the data they have already accumulated.
