Not a pain as much as tedious. It was on a 108 so just… not super fun.

So O-Rings are notoriously for cutting the noise on Cherry Blues, but we put 0.2mm O-Rings on my wife’s keyboard, and it accomplished EXACTLY what you’re looking for.

Massive pain to install, but cheap, and “deeper”.

Ah man, that’s kinda goofy. I have PC Game Pass and I know they’re technically different products.

Yeah, for $1 (between 9.99 and 10.99) this is just a price decoy / asymmetric dominance exercise.

Core will go away (or at least deprioritized from a marketing perspective) once they’ve successfully transitioned everyone off GfG.

If I was a VC, I would want a glut of ad-sensitive, lowest common denominator users. Think your Aunt on Facebook, or your sister on VSCO, or your young nephew on TikTok. I don’t think those people are necessarily attracted to the overall community attitude(s) currently on Reddit.

I would never call the ex-Hacker News/Digg Redditors smart. But.

Those users do have certain proclivities that make them EXTREMELY unattractive to investment dollars. Strong interest in anti-mainstream topics, including the 3Ps (Privacy, Piracy, and Pornography) doth not good ROI make. This exodus of users and elimination of features, outside looking in, seems like a misstep. I’d be skeptical.

I think the modding landscape is different than in 2011 (in a good way). I feel like I saw mod support for Hogwarts Legacy on Vortex maybe 72 hours after the game was released.

My guess is that by the time the first official .1 patch is out, there will be a handful of QoL/fix mods.
