The creativity people were willing to share. Forums, DIY guides, blogs, neat yet crappy animations on Youtube. It's all kind of still there, but it's hard to find with how the internet is today.

It was full of passionate people who made things because they enjoyed it. Now, it's either how-to sites written by bots/keyboard monkeys, or you're fast-tracked to the #1 video. You have to really go looking for the human now.

And I'm sure several whales have already bought it

The transition to Discord for communities really sucks. It's impossible to find information now that everything is gated to unsearchable servers.

The only good thing to come out of RIOT are the animations. Those don't require exposing myself to the CCP.

It's 100% moral to pirate Ubisoft games. I exclusively play Anno, since 2070 I DON'T pirate them.

I love the series, but I'd be happy if Ubisoft went belly-up tomorrow and never saw another game in the series. It's a fair exchange to see a bloated, rotting corpse of a monster finally die.

We get it you don't like summaries.

I never, ever see any actual ads anymore. It's either some dude with an Indian dude smiling saying "Hello!" or the same exact ass picture from "Hailey201238712985723" or "Jonah9018328412873" advertising the same porn site. No advertiser worth their salt would ever advertise on Elon's Twitter.

I actually didn't expect Disney to respect public domain. Everyone 100% has the right to absolutely shit on them for strangling copyright law all these years, though.

Republicans doing a real good job giving a peek into what voting Red will do for them this year

PC part prices are already extremely high, how in the hell can anyone build or buy anything with prices so high?

Amazon has turned to utter shit these days. They've been requiring you to show your ID to get a refund. Getting asked by some Indian dude who I can barely understand a picture of my government issued ID sure doesn't feel comforting.

I thought they did away with elections altogether. Russia isn't a democratic nation anymore. Putin will either just kill you, or rig the election in his favor.
