First the Berserk creator, now this. I hope like with the first one, the series would smoothly continue carrying the light of their legacy.

lichess integration so every unresolvable argument can be decided by a chess duel. A bot reacts when it's called by a command (plus arguments to customize the game) and drops a link (only OP can access and play, others join as spectators). Results are then posted as a reply. It's not possible atm, but I guess lichess devs are based and won't mind a little customization on their side for that silly matter. Federating with them would be a way to null many people's bingo cards.

New itrunsdoom category? Impressive.

Transition may be unconventional, involving means of trans-portation and what-nots.

I like LEGO games for their simple light-hearted humor and recreation of well known scenes from other IPs, esp. SW\LOTR ones.

Imagine learning in your teens that your gender is a pink-smoking plane crash claiming a pilot.

Stuff that actually matters brings profit to some important people. Addictive drugs are a lucrative biz. If selling them hasn't got an approval from the top, they couldn't have spread as much as they had.

In EU\US it's mostly about lobbies, there it's pure feudal nepotism. Someone's been probably given a role to oversee their import\certification\reselling and collect their %s in return. Hard to imagine a legistation to hurt that scheme being even voiced.

How to make new Loss in this format.

We find that our deeply engaged users are quick to challenge and downvote harmful or misleading content across the platform.

Yeah, right.

You don't mean Bethesda, right?

Deeper intergration with p2p file sharing\streaming-oriented sites and protocols, e.g. torrents, but decentralized too. Think like Blizzard with their p2p acceleration of downloads using other people's downloaded game. Basically, making your own PC a source of content for those accesing instance. May probably ease traffic reqs for instances and make them more reliable under ddos.

Infrastructure for old-fashioned game servers' communities, like those for Minecraft. Login with your fediverse account, one-click joining server, creating federated networks of them with theoretical migration of progress\playtime\achievements. It can make this way of multiplayer gaming convinient again. Yet again, it needs specifically tailored games\clients.

Mapping and geocaching communities. A network of overlaying local map-canvases that people can interact with by adding favorite routes, comments, points of interest.

Books and articles shared between repositories of different universities\libraries.

They don't have much power to down multiple places so they targeted one to show off, watch our reaction and see how vulnerabilities get fixed. It's probably one person or a thread on some chan-board taking offense at LW\Lemmy for some reason, and c/shitposting could be taken by activity\moderators count metrics rather than for having something against it alone. They did damage and locked community, but what's next? If they are indeed like old boards' posters, methodically flooding communities one after another doesn't make sense and gets old really quick if they can't do something more atrocious, achieve new goal or find another exploit. That's done already.
