I never realized before how reliant I am on Reddit for information.

    In my mind the reason /r/truecfb failed was that it went too far the other direction and was too serious discussion focused. A place needs to be lighthearted enough to be fun but still able to sustain the depth of discussions too.

    I’m a total noob when it comes to ARPGs. It’s just not a genre I’ve ever played. I’m most at home in MMOs, MOBAs, and FPS. That being said, I’ve been having a blast with D4. I don’t know if the end game will capture my attention, but it’ll be worth the money just for the initial leveling experience.

    Today will be a good test for me to see if I actually have the willpower to drop Reddit.

  5. Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

    Even though /r/cfb is a shell of what it used to be, it's still lightyears better than the college football forums that preceded it. Occasionally I'll visit some of the ones I used to go on in the early 2000s and they're... something else.
