  • Yes and no. I love me some long form videos. 10 hours might be much. I played through the catch up missions on the timeline last night and got through a mission or two from Final Shape. I’m worried I fall back into the same issue as before, so much content is relevant and not at the same time. Like I need X weapon or exotic from a dungeon, but I need to run Y raid to get gear to do it. But I’m not leveled for raid, so I need to run strikes. But now strikes are recommended at 1945 light, which I don’t think I am yet, so I gotta do random shit til I can run strikes, to run a raid, to run a dungeon, to get into the content.

    Not that that is the case, it’s just so much to consider with minimal knowledge going in.










  • I don’t get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I’m sure it gets a it harder but unless it’s a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.

    I also don’t know why you’d want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.



  • As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I’ve enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I’d like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype





  • I’d argue nah, cause JNCO jeans were huge when I was in middle school, and those are like…comically baggy. Like the bottom cuff would swallow your shoe. Even with standard jeans, boys showing ankle was a mortal sin, (for girls not so much, skinny jeans were in but I don’t remember anything specific against baggy clothes either) and it was a huge issue in the school with people wearing saggy/baggy pants and hoodies that were too big. And this was early 00s, and through high school as well. Some “groups” did the skinny jeans in high school, namely like emo kids, but they’d still have other articles of clothes that were baggy.

    I think a lot of it is algorithm based. Interacting with anything is going to start skewing the page, and it builds an echo chamber of “this generation has a bad opinion”, when the reality is not so. Everything is driving engagement, and rage is always a top factor in engaging.
