Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
Thank the GOP for basically ridding the US of antitrust law, which is now basically no longer a thing.
I think they're still there, just haven't been trotted out in recent history. And mergers keep getting approved.
The last merger that got blocked was almost 50 years ago, I believe. So yeah...it's probably dead.
Didn't they just block the Nvidia ARM merger a few years back?
I thought that was the UK's Competition Markets Authority that blocked the ARM deal.
FTC sued to block it
My mistake then. Thank you.
