  • If they had charged API fees such that 3rd party apps would have had to charge a monthly fee to users…I would have probably just paid. And I know I’m not the only one.

    But they priced it intentionally to kill 3rd party apps, because they wanted to channel access through their garbage app with its “promoted” ads all over the place.

    It’s not about “free vs. not free” it’s about intentionally killing off the applications that made reddit likeable as a platform.


  • I’d agree with this.

    I feel like overall DS2 just has so many areas that while it has some amazing things (Fume knight one of the best bosses in any souls game IMO) it just has so much forgettable stuff too.

    That and the fact that so many areas (and even bosses) are only made hard because they throw multiples at you, it makes it worse than the others in the series.

    However…. I probably played more multiplayer in ds2 than in all others combined. Don’t know if it was due to balance, the overall slower mechanics of combat or whatever, but I enjoyed it.









  • Fully agreed that the sports betting ads are out of control and need to be toned down / regulated.

    But the REAL problem I have is with how - in just one year or so - gambling has invaded all sports broadcast. The intermission panels are talking about odds, live odds appear during the game, talking heads mentioning how much X dollars could would make if placed on team Y to win right now etc etc.

    Even if you try to avoid the commercials, that content gets to you. And if you have a gambling problem, do you just accept that you can’t watch sports at all without risk of being exposed to that?

    We treat all other addictive properties with heavy regulation about exposure to the general public. Gambling should be no exception.
