I'd certainly agree that this is at least Huffman's internal thoughts about the whole thing at this point. Stabilize their large, more easily monetizable userbase, and get to the IPO asap. The only ones who "suffer" here are the users who give a shit, and the only remedy is to move on from reddit and create that content that matters, elsewhere.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that all the reporting I've seen so far has failed to capture all the nuance involved. Unfortunate, but not surprising, I suppose.

Yeah this one hell of a clickbaity title.

we just take them outside for supervised grass eating and dirt rolling:)

My wife does the same thing with me!

Yesterday I sat outside in the yard with my dog and read a book for like six hours. One of many reasons I'm not going back to reddit.

How is bringing charges that will carry up to 30 years in prison "letting things go", exactly?

Starsector. Been described as "Mount & Blade in space", which I think is still pretty apt. Made mostly by one guy, been in development for years. Still getting regular, substantive updates, has an awesome modding community with full developer support that adds tons of great content to the base game. Can't recommend it enough.

This is such a cool tidbit of info, thanks for sharing. I'll have to give that series a look.

edit. So is you're recommended read order - book 2, then 1, then on to 3?

Ah that's good to know, thanks very much for the info.
