Its so funny calling him just "florida man." If you ignore the fact that he was president, you can construe it as another one of those "gosh darn dumbass florida men" stories lol

nothing says "i protect children" like "I am disturbingly interested in children's genitalia"

i couldn't imagine being seen in public wearing reddit swag in general, much less after the API announcement

that right there is the biggest reason I never swapped to the new reddit redesign. Looks and aesthetics are one thing, but constantly having fake notifications about "you may like this post" or "you may like this community" shoved into my feed with the same notification icon as an actual reply to a post kept getting on my nerves.

anybody else old enough to remember hopping from chat program to chat program? When I first started gaming it was teamspeak in the majority with other programs like ventrillo in the minority. Then when teamspeak got shit everybody moved to Skype. Then when Skype got shit we moved to Discord. I will say it's shocking Discord has lasted this long honestly, but I'm not surprised if another one turns up whenever Discord gets inevitably too shit for the majority of people to handle.

seems like a good way to grow the community as long as you aren't spamming it.

Beehaw requires an application to join. No, it wasn't an essay in the sense that this post is kind of an essay. They just asked me three questions, and I wrote about a paragraph (5 sentences or so) for each question. This is basically what I wrote for the first two questions, just with a lot more words.

In the FAQ for beehaw they said if you don't write enough of a response then you won't be let in, but I was let in within about 10 minutes of making it, so I guess 5 sentences was what they were looking for.

I'd much prefer a sequel, but a reboot to L.A. Noire would be just as welcome. Not only would the graphics be top-notch considering what we've seen lately with the Mafia remake set around the same time period, but I feel like Rockstar would be able to learn from some of the more glaring mistakes and improve heavily.

Notably, the whole interrogation mechanic has some glaring flaws with what the interrogation options are called, and in how it chooses to tell you whether you got an answer right.

Definitely makes sense considering some dyslexic people have found it helpful in terms of legibility

That's just kind of how I ended up being with anything competitive honestly, especially if it's a huge time sink, which battle royale games tend to be. Even CSGO's "Danger Zone" mode can take like half an hour with just 18 people.

I've found myself missing some of the older shooters I played as a teen like Black Ops II, MW2, Battlefield 3, etc. They're still "competitive" in a sense, but you're not playing for nearly as much as you are in Apex Legends or Fortnite. Plus the matches aren't overly long and you can rejoin the action in seconds depending on the mode. And if you leave a deathmatch, you aren't really losing a whole lot of progress. Pretty much 5 - 10 minutes worth as opposed to 30 minutes to an hour sometimes.

I honestly don't really like it even when implemented well. It's even what caused me to uninstall Just Cause 3. As fun of a game it was, I hated being constantly harassed by Square Enix telling me to connect to their servers or that there was some kind of error in connecting to said servers. I just want to play the damn game.

I find games to be less fun the more time I'm spending not actually playing said game and dealing with some menu option or another, and always online games seem to be the worst offenders in this category. There always seems to be some kind of server error or I lose connection for 5 seconds and now the game's paused while it loads, or the game has to load the servers every time I open the menu.

I really liked "Freeman's Mind" (link to episode 1 from nine years ago). It was super simple, literally just a first-person perspective playthrough the Half-Life games with narration instead of commentary. The narrator acted like the mind of Gordon Freeman and it was really funny. Sort of harkens back to a simpler time on youtube, when 9 minutes of a guy talking as if he were a fictional character while playing a video game was prime content. I remember watching this and in the comments I was begging Ross (the creator) to do Half-Life 2 when he finished with 1.

I think with the lower userbase, it's much less easier to say something others would find abhorrent or rude and then sulk away into the shadows of millions of other users. People can see you and go "that's that person who said some fucked shit." So for me at least I've found myself being a bit more guarded, but I think that's a good thing.

The FAA banned smoking on all domestic flights in 1990, but that did not stop some entrepreneurs. Twice in 1993 and in 2006, wealthy smoking enthusiasts tried to establish airlines to circumvent the rules using legal loopholes. Both of them, "Smokers Airways" & "SmintAir" (Smokers International Airlines) failed to raise enough capital to purchase an airplane and investors abandoned both projects.
