The other day I launched an old game and got met with an error, something about directX9 and missing a redistributable file or something. Decided not to fuck with it.

Yesterday I launched it again to take a closer look at the error message to see if I could fix it. No error message, game booted without issues.

My confusion.

I’m still curious as to what is going to happen on the 1st and moving forward. I haven’t seen much news about whether or not moderation focused apps/bots will still work despite Reddit’s promises.

My bet is that effective moderation is going to drop significantly. Spam is going to increase to take advantage and trolls (whether to usual kind or as a form of protest) will run rampant. The user experience is going to suffer for the users that currently “don’t care”. And then Reddit will die.
