The post format on these subs are so tuned to reddit karma farming meta that it feels like they were made solely for that purpose. The vague mildly ominous post title to clickbait people in, the classic rant text post about someone/something in the person's life that made AITA so popular, and my last favorite new meta the random picture attached to a text post because the reddit redesign favors images over text.

    Yeah iirc stenzek had some code that hadn't made it to the public branch yet and the retroarch devs took it, he said they plagiarized him, they harassed him for a bit after that leading to him quitting duckstation. He started taking community PRs again eventually and I believe works on pcsx2 now but we really almost lost a really good emudev.

    From what I've seen valve is implementing anti competitive practices here, the devs wanted to release their games at a lower price on platforms that give devs a bigger cut of the sales but valve doesn't allow devs to sell games at a lower base price on other platforms.

    I was on the monster hunter subreddit yesterday and someone made a post saying a mechanic added by the dlc wasn't as necessary to use as people said it was (correct BTW it's a nice dps boost but I wouldn't say it's a hard requirement). The entire thread was just shitting on the poster and anyone else who said yeah you won't kill monsters in 5-10 minutes but you can still clear in like 15 and the same is true about not having super optimal hunting gear etc. I've always avoided online play as I play them casually and don't really want the pressure of having to do well for the sake of randos and wow did that thread confirm my worst nightmares. It honestly sucks cuz I avoid pretty much all coop in online games for that reason even though they're my favorite kind of games.

    I did the last presidential but not the midterm, some people say vote in local shit since you get candidates who aren't ghouls and while I'm sure that's true somewhere it sure isn't the case for me. I voted psl Gloria La Riva, was initially gonna do green party but thought if I'm doing 3rd party might as well do the one that actually aligns with my beliefs since there's no shot they win anyways. I've moved now so seems kinda pointless to register just to do 3rd party so I won't unless there's a ballot measure worth voting for.
