    Just to make it clear: I'm sure you meant the Nord 3 5G. I actually just got one, and I think it's the closest you can get to flagship specs at that price point.

    Could they be planning to have CoD available on PS, but only via Game Pass?

    Why bother to have selfie cameras at all when you can just flip the regular cameras toward you? I enjoy following this tech, but it's going to be a long time till the price of these foldables...

    Why bother to have selfie cameras at all when you can just flip the regular cameras toward you?

    I enjoy following this tech, but it's going to be a long time till the price of these foldables comes below my pain threshold. My last two phones have been in the $300 range, and unless I somehow acquire F-U money I see no reason to spend more than $500 on a phone.

    I was thinking the same thing. I wish him all the best, but surely this is basically a reduction in his income?

    It's also too close to "fedora" IMO.

    This might be a stupid question, but can't you just look through all Steam games with the "Free To Play" tag? Is it more of a sorting issue?

    A Discord server I'm on (private and very local) uses a bot called FreeStuff, which pings me whenever there's a game given away. Seems to work pretty well. I'm sure the bot can be used by anyone,...

    Personally, I'm done with reddit and am very happy to have found a place here. I might look for something else for memes and that kind of content as well, but for now I'm very much enjoying quality discussions and what feels like actual human interaction. And I feel healthier for it already.

    That aside, I do think there's something to this article. If enough of the content creating users leave now, a certain amount of those that don't will realize sooner or later that there's nothing there for them anymore. It might take some time, but reddit will probably continue its slow and steady devolution into a place of nothing but memes, bots and low effort shitposting.

    Edit: thanks for helping me with tags, I'm still learning.
