Isn't habitat loss at least in part due to climate change as well?

Which makes the parallel fit even better since in both cases the characters of the opposite gender show up in the lore rather than the actual gameplay.

World of Tanks. Came for the fun FPS/TPS hybrid gameplay, left for Wargaming's unforgivably greedy and short-sighted monetization practices. But not before siphoning away a lot more of my time than they deserved before I caught on.

For me personally, downtime tends to be a moment where I seek no conversation with anyone. Just me, whatever my train of thoughts happen to be derailing into, and sometimes some music and/or some mindless activity like scrolling social media, as I was doing until this thread caught my attention.

Assuming this isn't a recent development or happening so often actual interaction is grinding to a halt, this is probably nothing to be worried about.

Catbox claims to keep files forever. I find this claim dubious, what's the catch?

So, is that an order to abandon ship?

This seems to be a no strings attached good deal on xQc's side given the lack of exclusivity clause. Worst case scenario is a particularly bad scandal hitting the platform could tarnish xQc's reputation ~~such as it is~~ but that's a risk for literally any platform. However...

As a start-up, Kick is prepared to operate at a loss

Aaand the platform is doomed. Focusing on growth over viability is whats makes you a prime enshitification target.

As exemplified by your comment accidentally getting duplicated four times :]

Start from Doom. Well, not quite the original release, but rather Doom Legacy. From this base, create a 3D Sonic platformer styled after the Genesis era games. That's Sonic Robo Blast 2 (because yes, it's a sequel from a previous fangame named Sonic Robo Blast from all the way back in 1997).

We're not done yet. Mod it further... into an online kart game. That inherits the same modding abilities Doom Legacy has. You've got Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, sometimes nicknamed MUGEN Kart to the dismay of its developers due to the sheer amount of addons for increasingly weird characters its forum hosts. If you're interested, said forum, hosting both the addons for SRB2, SRB2 Kart and the SRB2 Kart releases themselves can be found here (for some reason the main website is down as I'm writing this. Oops.)

For SRB2 Kart in particular, the thread to get your hands on it is here and you can find its repository here.

The game is wacky, very fun, runs on a stale potato and it's easy to set up a server to subject an unsuspecting community to your specific choice of insane mods among the hundreds if not thousands available.

Eh, whoever takes up that offer is going to learn in short order why the protest is happening in the first place. As will the rest of the community once the content quality drops into the gutter because the would-be replacement mods can't keep up with getting rid of the garbage. You try moderating a subreddit of any significant size with gimped moderation tools. If anything, this would accelerate Reddit's fall into irrelevance as users start looking elsewhere for a place that isn't overrun by spambots of various flavors.

Meanwhile over on kbin, the points really do, in fact, not matter since comment ordering is dictated by the boost count.

A parallel to this is happening over on Tildes: talklittle, the RiF dev, is planning to make an app for Tildes.
