Nah. I'm staying at my current stage, paying for Live and then doing the extra $5 for Game Pass.....shit tier? Idk what it's called now. I don't need to play CoD on day 1.

I did go to school with one but he was a decent friend and we carried on in classes together. He came from Ghana, and I can't remember the specifics of his moving (it's been over 15 years) but he was originally born in Ghana. He was pretty smart, but I think he struggled a bit with "integrating" to the high school, as he'd let himself be the butt of jokes at times. He'd tell stories about growing up in Ghana and exaggerate or make up details that would carry on into ongoing phrases we'd repeat like inside jokes. Particularly, he said he would ride a bull to school, which turned into a sing-song phrase "ridin' bulls". He was a good time.

The state isn't exactly known for its spectacular past (we were a Union state though), and I think there was some fear with other students. He was in the International Baccalaureate program with me, so he was sorta insulated from the classic "dumb" racists, but you still have to traverse the hallways and life exists outside of school. Didn't keep up after graduation though.

See, that was my take on it, but I have noticed a shift, somewhat recently. I check /popular every now and then just to see what's happening around the internet, and they'd always pop up. It's gotten distinctly more "accepting" of taxation and stuff. I literally thought this yesterday, like "am I crazy or has it flipped a bit".

I wouldn't quote me on sub narratives, my browsing is sporadic at best, but that's what I'm remembering.

I very vaguely remember that lol,now that you mention it

Which is why I'm so regretfully enjoying it. It plays well despite being a Ubisoft game lol

I don't get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I'm sure it gets a it harder but unless it's a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.

I also don't know why you'd want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.

As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I've enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I'd like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype

I didn't post any useful information, all I did was shit post during college sports game threads. Just lemme be spiteful against Reddit lol

Was the reply button the biggest previously? I never installed the official app so I don't know how it was previously set up

Kinda par for the course for Reddit. There was like a whole thing a while back about how they were monetizing the site, selling off data, etc. Anyone who stayed should expect this and more.

Would also be crazy if they allowed 3rd party apps that let you change how you interacted with comments. I think I had one that was swipe reply, so I didn't have to tap anything at all. Whatcha get staying in a clearly money hungry platform I guess lol.

That might be my disconnect with the UI change, cause I wasn't tapping anything to interact with comments, I was only doing that to do formatting, etc, and didn't have that muscle memory. I do still think it's a bit "damned if you do, damned if you don't" in terms of where they're going to put it, but again, that's to be expected from that company at this point.

You're right. It makes a difference that they moved it one spot to the left vs one spot to the right. If they had kept it second from the left, there would be no one upset about it.

Except the headline would likely be "they moved the dropdown button to put the award button in its place".

I'm not arguing that they added it in the first place. But given that there is an award button, where is the acceptable place to put it on the UI?

Idk if I'd consider that nefarious moreso than just "we added a button and want to keep reply right of the options dropdown".

The addition of the awards button so prominently is easily deemed shitty tho lol
