Oh hey, I never thought I'd see somebody who's the target audience for those AI generated social media sites in the wild :P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe by default IRC is only logged if the client opts to log it. I don't remember being able to see message history when joining a channel back in the day, so I'm not sure if servers themselves keep logs by default.

Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I'd seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.

It's reportedly been running for seven years, so I suppose I just assumed that they didn't want to pay to maintain the online service for all eternity.

The other reply's probably also got a good point in terms of actual staff doing support for it, too.

The article links to a previous article about the online service for the free to play version shutting down. It looks like the Complete edition is an offline version where all the content will be available through gameplay without microtransactions, where the events will rotate every 4 years. HTH

Honestly, as long as the collision lets you walk over it smoothly without getting caught in the gap between the terrain and the object, I think this is fine. Having it flush or overlapping would probably lead to z-fighting or other weird collision bugs.

As divisive as it would be, I think that would be a good thing overall...

It reminds me of the literacy test to use Kingdom of Loathing's chat features.

If it is really possible to reliably train oneself to lucid dream, that's probably as far as it should go... Beyond there lies madness

If they were any more inbred, they'd be a sandwich.

if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.

Was that supposed to speak to some part of my comment...?

It seems like a complete non sequitur to me.

I am WAY too unqualified to understand any of the technical stuff, so I'll be waiting to hear thoughts from experts on this one. It looks like if there are no major flaws in it this is a great thing for the platform overall.

 

Firefox user here.

I was a bit surprised when I tried to get to the URL bar / search with Ctrl+L / Ctrl+K that those browser hotkeys were captured by PIeFed. I think it's nice to have keyboard shortcuts for those who prefer them, but it should probably be something that can be toggled off, or perhaps even opt-in by default.

Thanks for your time.
