This wad made me feel like it was going to be a great Spooktober material, but now that's so many people played it, commented on it, and loved it, and now John himself is playing it, I really wanna play it myself and join the still fresh talks.

On Doom, no less, the game that breathed in so much life into the FPS genere and thus modern gaming as a whole, released back in 1993, and yet still active and alive thanks to its community! I love modding!

I think it's good that they went for a seemingly small period, at least at first. This is a great way to convince the users to join the protest, which is the fuel of it, as asking so many people to forget about Reddit for longer easily could result in more people ignoring the actual boycott because of the scale of the change to their internet habits.

Having many services welcoming redditors is a great help, of course, but it's much easier to convince a large number of people to keep the protest going now that many have found alternatives they like - perhaps some won't migrate completely, but they may use Reddit less as a result. The amount of these people could have been significantly lower had the people had to consider going off Reddit for a similarly significant longer period of time.

The 48 hours of boycott may seem like a small step, but this step is a stepping stone to huge impacts later on, as we're already seeing by the attention the whole situation is picking up.

We're far from the credits roll in this movie.

They might be downvoting you because you're basically declaring the variable twice, with the same name, too. If someone knows better, though, please correct me.

Either of the following should work just as well:

var magazineString = 'kBiNmEta';
magazineString = magazineString.toLowerCase();

var magazineString = 'kBiNmEta'.toLowerCase();

Another reason some people may be upset is that they see it as downplaying the complexity of the issue, I suppose, but I'm not going to play psychic here or put words into peoples' mouths. One thing I'll say for certain is if there's anything I learned about any sort of work, is that it's always far more complicated than it sounds/looks like; applies especially well to software.

But don't you get discouraged! Learning to code yields great result even if you decide to not pursue the career with it for whatever reason - it's fun, it's rewarding, you can easily turn into something useful, you can contribute to open source, etc. There's always something.

I kinda owe this whole protest the fact that my most recent complaints about the internet have finally found an answer in the shape of many place I have discovered, like Lemmy and its instances, Kbin and its instances, Matrix and its instances...

I am finally feeling a little more like I used to when I browsed the internet in the 00s, when I just had so many different places to go for different things, rather than just being actively manipulated into staying in one play that "has it all". Sure, the fediverse, too, may have the same effect, but its instance actually feel different, and I think I'm seeing different kind of content as well.

There are things that I consider dear to me about Reddit and the communities I discovered there, but if its decline means that I stop mindlessly scrolling it trying to find that "final" stimulation for my brain, and instead start interacting with actually interesting, human-like, and though-out content, then the sacrifice is well worth it. Life changes, and the good changes should be welcome, even if they result from something less than pleasant like this.

I have always played RPGs from the good guy perspective - responding to the calls for help to actually help, risking my life for the strangers' wellbeing, having a rigid and perfectly calibrated moral compass, all while being an emotionally complex and multi-layered individual...

Not in Starfield. Once I learned that it is possible to join the pirates, The Crimson Fleet, I knew that this is going to be my first time being an absolute scumbag. I'll pick a backstory, traits, and skills all based around criminal way of life for one, and one purpose - for my own good.

I'm going to be a steel rat of the settled systems, and I salute your devotion to plunder.
