Hold up, it was originally supposed to be a trade show for journalists. It's always been about the big corporations. They've always had a dominance over the event.

The problem was that E3 was seen by the public as something to desire access to, as being exclusive and so on. This drove the organising body to open it up to more general access. In doing so, the audience changed, so the content on display changed, and it became a shitty version of PAX.

And that's what killed it, in turn.

The submersible that imploded near the Titanic wreck.

Was it only hardcore porn? All I saw was 50% memes about nudity allowed and 50% basic nudity like boobs and pussy reveal by gonewild / only fans posters. Divnt even see softcore solo content let alone hardcore porn.

... Did you just imply that a "pussy reveal" and "basic nudity" isn't "softcore solo [pornography]"?

Except a small number that probably opted in for NSFW for getting spoilers or other non nude purposes, most already have nude content present in their feeds and use alt accounts.

This is some high octane copium. You're just gonna broadly assume that most users consume porn on Reddit? Like that has any relevance, even if it was true?

Going by the memes many did seem unaware of the decision to allow NSFW content, but given the site wide opt in it seems reasonable to allow.

No, it's putting porn on people's screens without consent.

Then you haven't really thought about the situation at hand, then. Like, at all.

Imagine sending a picture to your friend. Unprompted, undiscussed. If the picture is a meme, we can both surely agree that that isn't problematic in any way. If the picture is a dick pic, you've just committed sexual harassment.

Even though both were sent without explicit consent, the context of your existing relationship matters, and -- in the context of you and your friend not sending sexually explicit photos to one another on the regular -- the lack of consent in the case of sexual material is a significant issue.

This is essentially the problem with the scenario at hand. The people who suddenly had pornography show up on their front page did not consent to it by subscribing to a porn sub. Yes, even if it was voted on by a tiny minority of subscribers, and yes, even if the sub essentially became a porn sub -- the eleven million existing subscribers didn't consent to seeing that material.

There is, frankly, essentially no way to take an existing, large subreddit, with millions of users, and make it a porn subreddit without violating the consent of a significant chunk of those users. No matter how much the moderators want to do so.

Please don't tell me I need to explain sexual consent to you.

Because it wasn't a porn sub before. They had, what, eleven million users? If you can't see the problem there, I think you're being a little disingenuous.

I'm not surprised. To my understanding, IAF was only permitting people post hardcore pornography, for example, so... they flew pretty close to the sun, there.

Obviously a pretty effective form of protest, in terms of being disruptive, but I can't imagine a world where that doesn't bring down the boot.

Is there something wrong with choosing to avoid someone's software because the developers are tankies, in your opinion?

Ah, honestly, I wouldn't recommend starting with SeaBlock. Krastorio 2 is a better overhaul-ish mod to get into modded gameplay.

Best of luck with the Deathworld Marathon run, that sounds pretty damn difficult.

Came here with the intention of mentioning Factorio as well. What really makes it next level, though, is the modding community and support for it. IMO the vanilla endgame is pretty quick, you can actually burn through the game with very limited resources and using very little space -- and then you have modpacks like SeaBlock, which make complex machinery an absolute must, and make even basic stuff like power generation a proper challenge, to the point that a single playthrough will ultimately be at least a hundred hours.

What Wube have created with that game is nothing short of marvellous.

Outer Wilds is indeed a masterpiece. It's not really what I would call a "shooter", though, so it might not be what OP's after, it's more like Myst and so on. But it is absolutely excellent.

I frankly disagree. If I were to write a list of benefits of using private trackers (ergo, actually directly answer OP's question), that's exactly how I would write it and I'd very likely use a similar writing style.

Further, ChatGPT doesn't use the "<Topic>. <Further elaboration on topic>" format from what I've seen, and IMO wouldn't finish out the post with a recommendation to OP how they could get their feet wet with a particular private tracker.

Okay, sure, but what about venting in a community that is intended to be about Reddit, not a community that is intended to be about something other than Reddit?
