This was maybe 5 or so years ago, but I remember Game Grumps did mention something along the lines of how they get more from someone watching their video on YouTube premium vs someone who watches their videos with ads playing.

It's still not a ton of info, and I'm not sure if it's still true. Or maybe it's different for every channel or something.

That's why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can't live without even though I have YouTube premium.

You're a psychopath for suggesting overcooked. That will bring out the worst in people. I played with my wife and I heard words and insults come out of her mouth that I've never heard before in my 20 years of knowing her.

I've heard similar stories from couples as well. That's a game you play when you have a steady solid foundation of a relationship and you feel like breaking it a little bit.

4.8/5 tho. Fun game.

Popeyes chicken is always so dry and unpleasant unless it's the tenders. Those are good. Not great, but good. But I don't usually want tenders, so that doesn't do a lot of good for me if I want a leg or breast or something.

Also all of their sides are a bit worse than KFC as well.

So KFC is better and I generally dislike KFC as it is. So many other options to get actually good fried chicken at the same price now that it's so expensive.

You know... I never thought about that. I would usually wonder why trainers only have like 2 or 3 pokemon.

I only have 2 dogs despite there likely being 150 breeds. What kind of psycho would horde so many pokemon?

Imagine a charmander and evolutions. Constant fire hazard from the tail alone. That little fuck would spend it's entire life in it's pokeball if I want to have any hope of insurance covering my house.

Actually I feel like insurance just wouldn't cover you if you have any pokemon at all unless you pay extremely high premiums.

"Fine... It's Imagine Dragon... These balls over your face! Eyyyyy!"

It would've at least given us closure.

You're assuming most of them are arguing in good faith.

Otherwise you end up playing server whack-a-mole

That's always been a thing in the fediverse. Most instances have a rather large blacklist to block out stuff such as nazi subs and racist subs and worse.

They are two different markets. You can also buy the next elder scrolls have while paying for ESO.

One is a single player game, the other is an mmo with that mmo feel.

Yeah this is definitely step 5 type of deal. A while ago, they stopped adding api features for apps. So most apps couldn't add any functionality. And not only that but even if you do somehow keep access to the api, you can't do so with NSFW content. So they also took away something from api access.

Then there was the thing where apps couldn't start with the name Reddit (like Reddit Boost had to turn into Boost for Reddit). I think Reddit is Fun was okay because it sounded less like an official app and just describing reddit or something. Not sure why they got to keep it.

The whole new reddit redesign to feel more like Facebook is just gross.

All the 9,000+ awards that meant nothing? Like you get a free one a day and maybe you get the wholesome one so you ironically give that award to a post about dying animals or something. So many posts just have so many random "awards" that it just feels like jingling keys in front of us to keep us engaged.

Reddit may not be dead yet. Maybe not for a while. But I'm not going to be holding on to the very last second. It's been getting worse for a long time and this was just a good excuse to jump before it gets worse.

It will be fun to see what changes they make to moderators due to the blackout of this highly unpopular decision that they refuse to back down from.
