  I can't really describe to you how angry I was when that shit went through. Like... I knew it was ridiculous to get so angry but, I LOVED THAT FREAKING APP.

  I recently found an Egg Shen's Six Demon Bag t-shirt and I wear it proudly.

  There's all kinds of ways to find your people. This is mine.

  Don't think that exists anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-binary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That's so sad to me. From my POV being non-binary isn't aggressive. It's just that there are more important things to worry about than gender.

  We need this level of coordination as consumers for SO many things! Glad to see this success! FOR DEMOCRACY!

  I'm sure he got a bonus instead. The "C" in C-Suite stands for Certifiable. Literally divorced from reality. Needless to say they don't earn their pay at all but all the wannabees on the board keep throwing money at them because they want their shot to be a do-nothing, too.

  If I had to login to every account I wanted to pay manually I'd prob be bankrupt xD

  Dell has always been the place to work that's guaranteed to kill your soul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games do you replay regularly/annually ?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly it really changes with my mood. If I'm planning on an insanity run the mods have more to do with mechanics than anything else. If I'm in a story mood I'll get some really great hair and outfits xD

  When Legendary edition came out they redid basically everything, so the slate was wiped; but I'm gearing up for another run as soon as I get my PC back from the shop so if you wanna just tell me what kind of run you want I'll share my intel with you.

  Leastways there have been some recent articles about the best new mods and unfortunately there's no Steam Workshop for them, so you'll need to head over to NexusMods to get the job done. Since that's also the main depository for the mods, you can also just pull up a list there and see what tickles your fancy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games do you replay regularly/annually ?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every time I think I'm over it I'm doing another playthrough of Mass Effect with new mods. Just can't help myself! And it's fun every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Reddit—the Internet’s Greatest Authenticity Machine—Survive Its Own IPO?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe they call that out in the article.. the parentheses look like a late addition though?

  On Halloween 2006, just 16 months after they founded the company, Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Condé Nast in a deal worth $10 million and agreed to stay on as leaders for at least three years. (Condé Nast, which is owned by Advance Magazine Publishers, is the publisher of WIRED). Condé viewed Reddit as a place to experiment and where the magazine company could build out new ideas online.

  But by 2009, according to users, Reddit’s website was as bare-bones as before the sale. Ohanian and another person familiar with the corporate politics say the site’s growth was stymied by Condé Nast’s uncertain desires for the property and Ohanian’s self-­acknowledged mismanagement. Reddit was awash in half-baked pursuits—including a short-lived iPhone app, iReddit—and a path to sustainable revenue wasn’t yet evident. After the cofounders’ three-year contracts expired on Halloween 2009, Huffman and Ohanian left for new pursuits.

  Slowe and the handful of other staffers left behind at Reddit—now contending with the fallout from a global recession—stumbled through experiments with selling ads and subscriptions. Neither Condé execs nor users were pleased. But they managed to keep the website alive. Anyone could now open a subreddit, and by January 2011, Reddit had 57,000 of them. That year the company began operating as a subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent, Advance, which let it function more like a startup. (Advance still owns a roughly 30 percent stake.) Amid the changes, Ohanian came back via a seat on Reddit’s board.
