Relay For Reddit dev is considering monthly subscription of $2-3

The NSFW filter is going to suck. Not because of porn, I don't care about being able to access that on Reddit, but because of the NSFW tag culture. For example, in some miniature painting hobby subs, people will mark anything with blood painted on as NSFW. Hell, over the past 3 years I've seen more and more text posts get a NSFW tag for swearing.

As much as I want to support Relay after using it for so many years, it would suck not knowing what pseudo-NSFW content is being hidden from me.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's letter to Reddit employees in response to blackout

Here's the source article from The Verge

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass.

The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Verge, is in response to popular subreddits going dark this week in protest of the company’s increased API pricing for third-party apps. Some of the most popular Reddit clients say the bill for keeping their apps up and running could cost them millions of dollars a year. More than 8,000 Reddit communities have gone dark in protest, and while many plan to open up again on Wednesday, some have said they’ll stay private indefinitely until Reddit makes changes..."

Dealership did repairs and now my remote start doesn't work. They say they are not responsible for it. Do I have any recourse?

I had the exact same thing happen, just with a 2014 Hyundai. Only aftermarket remote starts were available when I bought the car, so that's what was installed at the dealer. Took it in for a recall repair 3 years later and the remote start was broken when I picked the car up.

Contacted multiple dealerships and they wouldn't touch it since it's aftermarket (despite being installed at a dealer). The shop that did the recall repair flat out said I couldn't prove it was their work that broke it so they're not responsible. My only option was to take it to a local shop that does that type of work. Audio install and aftermarket mod shops were the best bet.

Best narrative driven games on Gamepass, with equally solid gameplay?

Not all inclusive, just a list of games I've personally enjoyed for both story and gameplay. All of these are story-heavy though:

-Dishonored -Dragon Age series -Fable series -Fallout series (3 and New Vegas are my favorites) -Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice -Middle-Earth: Shadow of War -Oblivion -Pillars of Eternity -Shadowrun -Yakuza: Like a Dragon (haven't played the others enough to have an opinion) -Titanfall 2

How do you use dead times at work?

If you want to be task-oriented and not just fuck around, do some continuing education. Depending on the field, there might even be some free options. You stay current, and you have something to show your employer if you get pressed about what you did during downtime.

Oooor you can catch up on some reading or games and enjoy the downtime.

Looking for old 90s-00s RPGs and other old PC games

I was a huge fan of Wizardy 8 when it released. Being able to type questions and responses to NPCs in a 3D RPG was mind blowing to teenage me. The older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall can be fun for a while as well.

The isometric games from Black Isle Studios were also top notch 90s/2000s RPGs. Baldur's Gate (I & II), Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are all fantastic. Planescape is less combat focused than the others.
