All I can say is be the change you want to see. Submit posts, maybe mod a community. I'm doing !gamedev, and it gets political sometimes, like any career field, but it is what it is.
Maybe you want a Marvel community, or whatever. Find your interest and dive in!
I always wanted to do a podcast called Just Jeffs, where I interview other Jeffs. But I'd love it if they used the name instead.
I'll say this: props to Fandom for realizing the right thing to do. I know there was really no other good solution for them, but that hasn't stopped many companies from being so obstinate that they cut their nose off to spite their face.
But more seriously, good for those guys buying it. I hope it goes well for them.
Sorry, it was a joke from the old machinima Red vs Blue. There's a truck called the Warthog and someone suggests it looks like a Puma. Another person says "you're making that up".

That was far too old a reference to drop casually. My bad.
"You're making that up."
The above link is recommended to learn more about the added mod support! (Just to add some context.)
Right? A series of adjustable physics inputs, a way to import levels and tag areas with terrain info that's defined in a file somewhere... Typing it out? I think it's wild that it happened to fighting games BEFORE it happened to a lot of other genres.
Basically every kind of game needs a "MUGEN" for that genre. Then we just put in the content we want and theme it appropriately.
I think I get what you're saying, but considering she's not releasing it unless she gets permission from the company, I don't think that's really much of a big deal? At least that's my amateur view. Hell, "secure copy kept in perpetuity" seems like it could be spun as a selling point.
I mean, they're trying to make a compelling argument here... I'll give them that.
Dan removed GB from his BSky bio, and Grubb posted that he's no longer with GB.
To add more context, last night Dan was streaming on Twitch and said he expects episode 888 to be the last Bombcast. He said things that, if he stays employed, would make Fandom the most understanding employer ever. To use words he used: he'll keep taking their money as long as they'll give it to him, but he expects that won't keep happening for very long. He's very annoyed with working for giant corporations and wants to bet on himself.
The Google Maps app already shows what it wants instead of what's nearby. Now the Gmail app shows you what they want you to see instead of ordering by date. I imagine the goal is just to replace everything with a "Google" button. You just type in words and hug "Google", and it serves up its own info instead of anyone else's pages. Sigh.
