That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently nobody showed up.

So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

FR. For anybody that doesn’t know Paypal’s customer support is abysmal and they can freeze your account for petty reasons without warning. There are many cases of people fighting with Paypal for months before being able to cash out, you should never use it to hold money.

Before anybody gets excited, this is apparently Sapienza only (one map). It’s not the full game.

For people who don’t know what this is referencing:

which in turn is a riff on these stupid facebook posts:

This is a legitimate strategy in Cities Skylines where you can drive up the taxes so high to earn insane amounts of money then lower them back when you lose half your population. Helps with traffic, too

Just in time for them to talk about bloodborne 2 and silksong. Can’t wait!

They released on game pass the same day the game launched everywhere else.

That’s what Microsoft wanted. Me and a friend bought a month of game pass to play through Oblivion and Doom Dark Ages then unsubscribed. I doubt they’re going to keep doing day 1 releases in the long run because this might be hurting their game studios.

My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it’s always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing

DONT USE UNETBOOTIN. This tool more often than not breaks something and causes issues for people. Somebody I know used it and broke booting into Windows, he had to use a USB anyway to fix the bootloader.

Thank you. I think most communities need to enforce a rule like this because there are a lot of ridiculous people on the platform. I post a ton on /c/games and /c/movies and I’m still getting a lot of comments that are essentially whining about hating the company that made it or telling others to stop enjoying it. If you’re on a gaming community and aren’t here to talk about gaming, why ARE you here in the first place?

Shoutout to a lot of times I post about a new game and get occasional comments similar to “Ew why would I buy a 70 euro game when I can wait 2 years to buy it at 15 euros”. adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. Also the occasional “is this post an ad???” comment for posting an article about upcoming games.

I don’t understand how people listen to audiobooks. I tried multiple times to give it a try but always zone out after 5 minutes and miss parts of the story.
