Vor 20 Jahren wurde bei uns im der Gegend ein Windrad aufgestellt, das mir damals schon groß vorkam. Inzwischen wirkt es winzig im Vergleich zu denen, die inzwischen aufgestellt werden. Finde es faszinierend, dass sich seither außer der Größe fast nichts mehr am Design der Windräder geändert hat. Scheint wenig Optimierungsmöglichkeiten zu geben.

Good to know. Is there already some kind of schedule, when the new Engine will be implemented?
Strange, when I made my reply and checked the website, at least the first 7 communities were sorted by subscribers. After refreshing the page now, the sorting is all over the place.
And yes, it would really be nice to be able sort the communities by various conditions. At least the search function is quick and shows instant results, which is really nice.
I think a lot of reporters and bloggers got used to it too much and are now totally reliant on it to get their input for the quick articles. And as long as there are still people reading the Tweets and spreading the information, there always will be people making Tweets for easy publicity.
I do not think that you can change the sorting order, but I think the communities are sorted by the number of subscribers. So it at least should be close to what you were searching to find the most popular communities. Not the perfect solution, but maybe it helps anyway.
I am in the middle of my first play through and am really enjoying the game. So far I can really agree with you.
I am really surprised how much press this game is creating. It’s a release from a smallish studio that afaik so far only produced point and click adventures. Why is everybody interested in this game? It might be bad and overpriced, but aren’t there a lot of expensive and terrible games released that nobody talks about?
Nice point of view, thanks for sharing. I think I viewed things more from a Reddit point of view, where most subs are so big that real interactions in my experience are not that common because everything moves kind of quickly. So I mostly used it as a link aggregator (kind of like an rss feed). If viewed as a Forum, I kind of like the idea of smaller separate (but accessible)communities. I only have to get used to it a bit.
Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.
I am really missing a way to hide posts/threads I have already read and am not interested in further updates. I am scrolling past the same few popular posts until I reach the newer posts that are still gaining popularity. Only option is to sort by new, which might be difficult when more posts hit the service.
I think with better accessibility of video reviews and let’s plays of games, where you can see actual gameplay, the need for demos decreased. At least I do not really miss them that much. I also think the size of today’s games contributes to it. If I have to download 80 gb to test a game for 20 mins to find out I do not like, then I prefer to watch a quick video to get a first impression.
On the other hand, I played the ut2003 demo for months back in the day. Did not care that only a few maps were included, and my pc was too shitty for the blocked higher graphic settings anyway. That was a great demo.
