In this case, I have a theory. I remember a month ago people were posting a lot on Reddit and the !reddit@lemmy.ml community was extremely active. It was like group therapy for refugees. But now the new reality is setting in and people are actually having real and meaningful conversations, which means more lurkers.

So it doesn’t mean that active users are down per se, it’s just that it’s stabilised because people are mostly over Reddit.

Maybe I’m old school and in my late 30s, but I like linear games, they have good stories and aren’t too long. But it helps that I’m a patient gamer, so I don’t buy AAA titles at ridiculous prices.

For example, I bought Mafia Definitive Edition when it came out (one of the rare times I’ve done that, but it wasn’t $70) and I thought it was well worth the money, even if the story is a bit shorter than modern standards.

I’m all about quality over quatity. Give me a good story every day, don’t force me to do side quests that have nothing to do with the main story (I’m looking at you, Assassin’s Creed).

So instead of tackling the source of problem, they are using authoritarian regimes toolkits.

I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.

Perhaps. Or they are biding their time until the blackout then will actively be looking for an alternative.

I’ve finished both games in the collection. They work perfectly in Linux :)

All governments of all parties are to blame for cutting essential fire programs designed to combat fires while they’re small.

And they need to adjust firefighters salary because it’s only going to get worse.

The problem with North America is that it is closed to trying new things because it believes that its way of doing things is better than the rest of the world.

For example, roundabouts could help with traffic flow and reduce accidents, as they have been proven to do in the rest of the world. But unfortunately, North American drivers are absolutely terrified of them, so cities will not implement them.
