Kinda basic, but I love the colors and atmosphere of this photo. Shot on my mamiya c330, which is just a ton of fun to use.

Honestly I'm surprised that Quake still has an active playerbase!

Who was your favorite character of the bunch? I always like to see who people gravitate towards

While I will kinda miss it being gone, I think it's probably for the best. With how little the price difference was between gold and game pass, and how much better a deal the latter was, I can't imagine there were many folks still buying the former anyhow

I was doing the same thing with driver combos back in XC2

I'm just not really sure what those other ways to make money could be. Other than monetizing a service outright via a subscription or selling a product to the users, I don't really see a good way for online social media to be revenue neutral or positive.

This is a good summary of whats going on and why the mods are striking.

Honestly seems like a lot of major sites are imploding. Stackoverflow's mods are striking, Twitter is on a downward spiral and likely to go bankrupt this year, Reddit is axing itself, etc.

It'll be interesting to see what ends up happening to the internet after. I think a return to more niche forums or community-run things like lemmy is unlikely to be fully mainstream, but I think enough folks will shake off the major platforms onto these to get them really active.
