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… :)

48k ZX Spectrum.

Treasure Island Dizzy is better than all modern gaming and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees.

Ironic.

where Spez edited comments to make the sub seem to be inciting violence, so he had an excuse to ban it

Not what happened. Spez, fuckwit though he is, actually managed to do a halfway decent trolling there.

A bunch of t_d people were slagging him off and insulting him in their comments. Spez got drunk as shit one night and edited their comments, swapping his name with Trump’s so that it made them look like a bunch of anti-trumpers. Much gnashing of teeth ensued.

Absolutely shouldn’t have done it, especially as CEO of Reddit FFS, but definitely funny as shit.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely a mark against him, but he didn’t get them banned. They thouroughly got themselves banned on their own.

1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don’t have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.

But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What’s the point, or are they different region copies?

I don’t get it, I’ve seen so many of these posts recently. Why is mine still working?!

I have a theory. Boost is limited to the OAuth threshold for requests. Hits the wall and people get limited. Some of them make posts like this ^, people quit Boost assuming that it’s dead, less users brings Boost back under the limit again, people make threads saying Boost works again, people start using Boost again, Boost hits the request wall again and people ge-

Repeat and nauseam.

So confusing.

Then if those people come in, we can just ban them and send them back to Stormfront or whatever rock they crawled out from under.

There’s no reason to surrender the name of our community to them based on absolutely nothing. The very idea is asanine.

because regardless of its history, at best it’s been co-opted by hateful people (IE the locked thread) and at its worse it’s a dog whistle for authoritarian/racist behavior.

Well, that sounds nice, but you seem to have forgotten to bring literally anything to back up any of that.

At no point in time do I remember going onto r/pcmasterrace and thinking “wow, this place turned into a rightwing shithole, where did all of the nazis come from?”.

Just because you say that everything’s been co-opted doesn’t mean that it has just because you don’t like the name for arbitrary reasons.

This whole thing is an argument about nothing.

The mod’s response to Reddit, in case people don’t want to go there:

According to them, your favourite subreddits going NSFW is too much for you to understand. The infamous Mod Code of Conduct messaged us, demanding we switch back, because “you’re likely confused by all the NSFW content you’ve been seeing”.

They didn’t allow us to reply, so we couldn’t explain that this is a subreddit for an 18+ game, nor has any of our content changed. This subreddit should have been NSFW already, but we’d never thought to change it until recently.

Until we change it back we’re in violation of Reddit’s sitewide rules. We’re not going to change it back, because this is a sexually explicit game, and also fuck them.

If we’re removed at least we got to go out on an fantastically fun flair event (don’t worry this won’t stop your flair from being added I promise), and if this sub changes back from NSFW then you know you’re no longer in control of it.

Rest assured; we have 77 fans all over Reddit, with r/lowsodiumcyberpunk being a decent fall back. We’ve never worked together on anything, but we’ve made an effort to stay on good terms with one another, and I trust them to take care of you all.

Edit: this has hit r/all choombas so assume there are a lot of people here just to feed on the drama

Some time after posting this here, the mods added a second edit:

Edit: since hitting r/all there have been a bunch of accounts created in the last month attacking us and defending Reddit admins with a vigour I’ve never seen before. That seems suspicious, at the very least

So it seems that someone (probably Reddit themselves) caught wind of this and attempted to astroturf it with bots… Now who’s recently been caught doing that?

See c4’s post below for a Teddit link of the whole thread: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/144077/Reddit-threatens-the-mods-of-r-CyberpunkGame-the-main-subreddit-for#entry-comment-559801

Skill issue.

It was funny then, and it’s funny now.

You do know that rightwing fuckwits actively use people like you as a recruiting tool to show people examples of “how idiotic and heavy handed the left is” when giving them reasons to join up for their Hitlerjerk wank-ring organizations.

They literally make compilations of examples like this to create the narrative that the opposition has lost their minds and are coming for everyone’s free speech with their cancel culture, and use this to argue that somehow nazism is clearly the reasonable choice in contrast.

And as ludicrous as that is, it actually works depressingly well.

A certain willingness to have a sense of humour is a worthwhile thing to have when online. Nobody is being threatened by a reference to a joke about the console wars and the PC Vs Console circlejerk.

Plus, I have a really good gaming rig, and I tell you, those console peasants have it coming anyway. :P

That used to be true until they made the insane move of self-hosting all of the images and videos using i.reddit and v.reddit rather than continuing the previous practice of everyone posting all of the media to imgur and youtube, etc.

They just had to own everything themselves, even if it meant giving themselves running costs that would inevitably climb to youtube-like expenses because of all of the media streaming.

Pure madness.

You’re seeing a bubble burst.

The VC money is drying up and the current social media funding paradigm is breaking because of it.

It’s a bit like witnessing the Dot Com bubble burst again tbh.

It’s about time we moved on to a better way of doing things anyway, I’m pretty good with moving away from the old ad-based, exploit your community for profit model, personally.

Does anyone else think that being seen as weak and capitulating to Prigozhin here is basically a death sentence to Putin?

Doing that has to have just put SO MUCH blood in the water for every internal agency/power-block with aspirations of taking him down and replacing him.

Apparently all you need is 20,000 men and Putin’s defenceless…

My opinion is that this is going to cause chaos.

The fact that Putin didn’t have Wagner immediately atomized on the spot suggests that he wasn’t powerful enough to do so. Not a statement that someone in Putin’s position would want to make, I would think.
