AirBnb became popular when hotels inflated prices around certain events or were at capacity. Since then, AirBnb owners have jacked up prices to be more expensive than hotels, and you have to deal with the “landlord attitude.” It turned from a genuine service into another cash grab scheme.
- Comment on Discord Support system is protecting the Hackers rather than the users 2 weeks ago:
Discord also has a tendency to block connections on its desktop app when it detects you are connected to a VPN. They aren’t particularly consistent with their security policies, but their app becomes more of an unusable mess every day.
Discord is NOT going to get better. Their new CEO came from Activision and they are going to do everything in their power to enshittify the platform and cut down on support costs.

You just jumped to a critical extreme and thought you made a good point? They often say the moment you bring up Hitler you lost the argument.
And once again, you are conflating the goal and the path.
“He wanted to make Germany great” is the goal. “By getting rid of all the undesirables” is the path. The goal is good. The path is bad.
Take a step back, calm down, and think instead of having extreme knee-jerk reactions to everything. Admitting there is something else besides 0 and 100 and that nuance exists would be a great start.

Silencing thousands of people and users was NOT the goal - don’t get that wrong. The goal was to give users a place where they didn’t have to deal with trolls and the negativity of the world. Silencing users and instances without telling anybody or giving them the ability to toggle that on and off is completely off the correct path.

The goal was great, but you were going backwards. Just because you had a good goal doesn’t mean you were walking the right path to get there. There definitely needed to be some self reflection here, both from the guy that though putting a DDoS into the software was in any way a good way to prove you stood on the moral high ground and from the communities that thought death threats were the appropriate response to this situation.

More map variety and a more complete campaign. As a child, I played the heck out of it, but as an adult, there just isn’t the same content draw that games like AoE1 had.
If there is one game from that era that I really want remade, it is Tzar.
- Comment on Guess the game (#009) 5 weeks ago:
This game…well… demo was amazing. I just wish they had actually completed it.
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 2 months ago:
One is for HR to use to immediately reject your application. The other is to train their AI model.
- Comment on I'm gonna ask the simplest complex question ever. What is happiness, to you? 2 months ago:
Being able to just be alive without life kicking me in the teeth. Rarely happens.

I was looking for Sream gift cards as birthday presents for some friends 2 months or so ago. No wonder I couldn’t find them.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 months ago:
I happen to love FFXII, but everyone I talk to hates it. I understand it more with the Zodiac Age version since they made a few unnecessary changes, but the original was fun.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 4 months ago:
Starcraft 2 is super fun as a randomizer in the RTS format, but I do want to see more done with that IP. The problem is, like you, I will never give Blizzard a single penny ever again.
