Are modders considered players or devs? Lot of mods have fixed the problems I had with games. So modders at least are not only identifying the problem but providing the solution themselves.

But, they are kind hybrid of being a player first but also taking on the role of devs due to having the technical skills to make solutions a reality.

I got a 3DS and DSi not too long ago to play games on, so I’m more likely to go backwards and get old tech to play timeless classics than stream new games.

If you want to get the game wouldn’t you want to avoid further trailers to avoid getting stuff spoiled?

Just saying moving away from Sony to PC doesn’t prove Sony’s point, since they are removing physical knowing people will stay on their consoles and buy their digital games.

Last thing they want is for people to move to PC, since they went as far as to discontinue future exclusives there. They don’t care about digital games on PC. Just digital for their console.

Prove the point that if a system is digital consumers prefer to do it on hardware that is open and can be assembled from parts you choose, run any programs you want, and run any OS you want?

Versus locked down hardware that doesn’t let you install competing storefronts, programs, and is able to implement paid multiplayer because the hardware ia so locked down?

Yeah, decades of compatibility PC games have across hardware over the years is hard for consoles to match.

Even when they have backwards compatibility they are stuck to the performance and resolution cap from the previous gen if the devs didn’t go back to improve it like Red Dead Redemption 2 still being capped at 30. Or Bloodborne.

It worked for me. Comments never came back even years later and checking old comment links with gdpr files.

I think reddit has a limit on the amount of comments that can be viewed through your profile. So you won’t be able to delete everything in one go if you have thousands of comments.

You’ll have to do one run rewriting and then after deleting the comments it can. Then wait and do it a few days or a week later when the profiles repopulates it with the older batch of comments that weren’t available before.

I stayed away from the general popular subreddits that tend to populate /r/all preferring to stick to either hobbyist and tech related subs. I haven’t noticed much change when it comes to places like emulators or roms for example mainly going there to check the wiki and when myrient went down people backing it up and making Minerva.

So I guess if it is the general trash subs that the twitter crowd congregates along with news, the bots and stuff might be more apparent with it being about karma, trying to go viral, and manipulate what users see. But, the more resource oriented ones like Linux or buildapc still seem to be less affected with people there just trying to help out.

Steam and Epic run on open hardware where people can install it on devices they assembled themselves, and run it on different operating systems.

Difference is open hardware versus an ecosystem that tries to lock down their hardware, prevent installation of unapproved programs, and prevents competing storefronts.

Old.reddit UI fills the entire width of the screen, and default view is compact. You see more of the feed at a glance without having to scroll as often. When it comes to comments more of it is displayed when it comes to nested comments before clicking.

New reddit takes up a lot of space. And clutters up the side with stuff like related posts when you check the comment section.

Another big one is reddit enhancement suite which lets you tag and block things only works on old.reddit.

There’s the proposed theory of 90% of the community are just lurkers, 9% contribute occasionally, and 1% contribute most of the content.

Might not seem like it doesn’t matter, but depends on who are the ones submitting most of the material to the site than lurkers.

If you want to rewrite your comments you should do it while you still have the chance with something like power delete suite, since it relies on old.reddit.

Best method in the past was getting GDPR files and doing it with shreddit, but getting api keys is hard now.

What bothers me is that all the data goes back to meta.

I’m glad I dont know who he is and I will continue to not know him.

These days it seems like the internet is more pleasant the less influencers you know, and most aren’t worth knowing any further about.

I think the past where people’s awareness of public figures was much more distant was a healthier time. Like knowing the famous athlete or actor, but nothing further about their lives and not feeling like “you know them” because they called our your username or liked your comment and not being able to send them a direct message.

I wish it were possible to just flash something else on it like you can on smartphones, and get rid of all the meta stuff on it.

Seens like the same thing to me since whatever meta calls themselves its meta as a corporation that creeps me out.

Looks like I’m never getting into VR for the same reason I didn’t years back. Price continues to be expensive, and only cheap options are meta which is a big no.

I wouldn’t touch them on Windows either. No way would I want to log into a Windows account on Windows when they collect stuff like activity history and upload everything you do on your OS and link it all to one account. And that was even before the GDID news.

I don’t even feel comfortable logging into a Microsoft on an OS level on Windows. Which is a huge reason I never paid for Gamepass and never will. And only version of Microsoft I’d touch is ltsc which doesn’t have the Microsoft store installed.

So I’d pass on buying from the Microsoft Store or Xbox app if their games weren’t on Steam or GOG.

I know I’d just bring it in my bag with it turned off and not take it out until class is over.
