There's also the small matter of all the signs that tell you what lane you want being jammed up in the girders, so you can't even see them except for 0.5 seconds when you're almost directly under them.

...of course there's not enough room in the picture to add that bit, which seems like a bit of a metaphor.

Feels super bad, but if you still want to play, the upside spin is that you can frame it to yourself as the patch letting you out of the "Necro Jail" you created for yourself and try lots of wildly different options now.

I mean I totally get the disinterest too, but basically that's what happened for me when they ground Chrono into dust after years of being the only real source for alac and quick.

I feel like the main step he's forgetting is that he wanted to install an interim CEO to make these unpopular changes so they didn't happen directly at his direction, so that the dust up can be laid at someone else's feet...after which he can swoop back in, replace them with himself again, not reverse the changes, and avoid the blame.

Not that she was great, but I do kinda feel bad for the way Ellen Pao got dicked over by Huffman and hated by the community.

Laranity on YouTube has some fantastic tips like this on the "things you probably don't know" videos that she occasionally does.

One that lots of people probably already knew but that I learned of within the past year or so is that if you're moving things from your inventory to a stack of that item in your bank (not material storage...if they go there, use the drop down menu to send them), that you don't have to find the item stack in your bank.

Just double click the stack in the inventory side of the bank dialog (not in your actual inventory window), and it'll automatically stack them on top of an existing stack of that item in your bank.

Within the game, you can also access the event timer by typing

Into the chat.

On this note, I like turning on the option that limits the skill placement marker of ground targeted skills to the skill's actual range.

When you're fighting a world boss, significant champion, or any enemy that is an event unto itself (read: has an event with a skull symbol, and is the main target of the event), you can click on its orange health bar in the sidebar to target that enemy.

This can be very useful in chaotic fights with lots of mobs running around, when hitting tab might guess wrong a dozen times before putting you back on the main one, and there's too much visual clutter to get a good targeting click on the mob itself.

I feel like this one is one where they took an existing shirt and ran the instructions through an OCR program.

Maybe don't take disagreement so personally?

I too would like to do this myself and not have AI or anyone else decide for me what content gets lumped together.

I predict that this is also an issue that will slowly resolve itself over time, as critical masses of users gradually coalesce around one community, or more...but only if the extras are distinct in some way...which would very specifically be made more difficult by the sort of programming you're proposing.

I'm not saying there's no merit in your suggestion, only that it may not be the one-size-fits-all solution that you seem to think it is

Well said.

In that case, I think the reddit administration did a good job of excising the people it didn't want, letting them take root elsewhere before the main mass went to check that place out, and letting that main mass come right back.

At the time, I thought it was a calculated and intelligent move on their part, fully intentional.

After what we're seeing now, I think maybe they lucked out.

I guess it's some sort of Hanlon's Inverse Corollary: Never attribute to intelligence what can be adequately explained by dumb luck.
