  One of the oldest memes I know, and the first thought I had after reading OP’s post. A great way to maximize the horror and ruin OP’s plan.

  Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to see what happened to his joint venture.

  I went to Digg yesterday, it looks like the MSN start page full of terrible probably automatically generated articles. Shame reddit didn’t have the same amount of people jump ship like when everyone left Digg 4.0.

  Don’t these people just pitch wild ideas constantly knowing it won’t work in the hopes they can live off of someone’s venture capital until they can end up with better jobs?

  Halo 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Mass Effect 2 were all triple A games. Whatever this game is that they are trying to peddle, is not better than any of the previous games I listed.

  I miss mIRC, maybe it is time to take a look back.

  I think all of the card games with random pulls are a bit of a ripoff.

  The RPG crowd is the lead in pirating or flat out making their own rules and barely spending money. They just need rules and dice. You need a small group, and there really aren’t tournaments so you can play it however you want.

  Table top war gaming in the middle is being filled with indy 3d printed miniatures and home made rules that can take over local scenes pretty easily. 40k still dominates the space, only because most people act like its the only game (it is by far the most common already) and you can buy the minis from most any hobby store. The tournaments are huge, and sometimes the biggest tournaments even dictate the rules just as much as the game seller and most people want to play “tournament legal” armies only.

  MTG and other card games are the only thing keeping most hobby stores alive and prints money. it is entirely on for whatever reason, people just want to buy another booster. It is as bad as gambling if not worse, you don’t even know what you are buying. It should be even easier to pirate and print your own resources to play card games but somehow it is a huge money maker because as always, people flock to the largest group of gamers in their space.

  Indy RPG and Skirmish tabletop games make boat loads of money for small groups of people and it is easy for them to run circles around larger game manufacturers. Things like 40k and MTG where there is such a huge following of people who might not necessarily care and just want to go to massive tournaments it is much harder to challenge those established followings.

  I dont add it to the wifi or drop a cat 5 cable to it and my smart phone will still see it in the house and ask if I want the two devices to connect. I miss when TVs were a bit thicker and easier to take apart so you could easily take out the wifi and Bluetooth cards.

  Carpooling with work mates is really fun, it would be a lot better if we would have had a train or bus though. Tough luck in the US.

  I miss Google play, I used to actually buy music that way. I just kind of find MP3s now…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The home is a container for heat. If it is a poorly insulated container the heat pump does not put out enough BTUs to keep the house warm because the heat is escaping faster than it can be generated.

  I also am under the assumption that no material exists that could be stacked tall enough to build a space elevator.

  Wouldn’t it be incredible if smaller tech companies spread out a bit? There are plenty of small towns in America that could use any form of industry to keep them alive.
