CD has been making videos of quality for 16 years and the only thing that's really changed is the YouTube resolution limit.

But how will they get more War Thunder clicks and irresponsibly point where fans can report people if they stop making YouTube drama?

It's mildly interesting to consider that just stating the intent is the key difference. Not so much banning the mod as the modder, I guess.

If you like roguelikes and want to ruin the scope of all other games for you for a while, try CDDA.

My gamer brain is in shambles.

Sometimes I think we wouldn't have ended up like this if it was still around.

One thing I always liked about The Sims was it being a satire on life. Especially the first one. I don't think this game is interested in going that direction... Everything is very Korean. Spotless and clean and sterile.

Taking back "don't be evil" is around when I stopped liking Google a lot, but I do still tend to find that Google's products are the only ones that follow my way of logical thinking,, especially in options and menus, if that makes sense. Samsung frequently doesn't have stuff where I expect to find it... Sony's menus are nonsensical... Nintendo is constantly missing settings... Microsoft used to be better, but hides relatively basic shit in the name of "accessibility" nowadays... Apple's entire ecosystem is a joke, in my opinion...

Google's menus and apps just make sense to me and are almost always where I look for them. They tend to include most options for things I would want to turn off or on. Usually if you are in a place where you'd want a search bar, there's a search bar. Android is still very customizable using third-party apps, instead of just preventing them from working altogether and making you use it their way. I like all that.

I originally justified the cost of Premium by changing from paying for Spotify, which kept letting me down with playlist limitations--a playlist of 500+ songs would actually only shuffle about 60. YouTube Music also has issues with prioritizing an artist's popular songs, but is much better overall.

I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn't feel like you were just being presented for "dateable" you were if you didn't want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99... to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There's lots of essence to EQ that you just don't get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I've had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.
