Honestly I'm surprised that Quake still has an active playerbase!

Who was your favorite character of the bunch? I always like to see who people gravitate towards

While I will kinda miss it being gone, I think it's probably for the best. With how little the price difference was between gold and game pass, and how much better a deal the latter was, I can't imagine there were many folks still buying the former anyhow

If anything I think it'd be an improvement if the text just said "you can't raise an ability modifier over +4 until lv10, and over +5 until lv20." It'd free up an ability boost at levels 5 and 15 too, which would be nice for more MAD builds.

I think I'd be fine with Wish proper being a ritual, but the arcane wildcard spell being renamed. I like the niche of "whatever spell you want" as a max level spell, and would be sad to see it gone.

I was doing the same thing with driver combos back in XC2

Obsidian is a personal favorite.

Dudeee. I spent so much time as a kid just farting around replaying that demo just to see how much chaos I could get, or what insane shenanigans I could get up to. Somehow I've played way more of that demo than the actual game now that I own it.

I just picked up a copy of house of leaves. Saw it referenced a few times in some other media I liked and figured I may as well check out the book itself.

I'm just not really sure what those other ways to make money could be. Other than monetizing a service outright via a subscription or selling a product to the users, I don't really see a good way for online social media to be revenue neutral or positive.

This is a good summary of whats going on and why the mods are striking.

Honestly seems like a lot of major sites are imploding. Stackoverflow's mods are striking, Twitter is on a downward spiral and likely to go bankrupt this year, Reddit is axing itself, etc.

It'll be interesting to see what ends up happening to the internet after. I think a return to more niche forums or community-run things like lemmy is unlikely to be fully mainstream, but I think enough folks will shake off the major platforms onto these to get them really active.
