I’ve been playing Star Citizen pretty regularly for years, and still do. While it’s not progressing as quickly as I want it to, it’s definitely progressing… and so long as their current funding model keeps the game evolving, I’m happy with that.
The thing that concerns me about Starfield right now is how little they’ve shown of flight mechanics. I’m starting to get the feeling that space flight is going to be a half-baked afterthought and atmospheric flight might not be a thing at all. We’ll know soon enough, but I am still not going to let myself expect anything more than “Fallout/Elder Scrolls in Space”.
I was going to wait until the 29th to erase my content and delete my account, just in case the board woke up from their torpor, decided to stop the hemorrhaging and remove Spez… but now that Reddit is violating their own TOS commitments, and I just got my personal data download request filled… I guess I’m starting now.
I do not recommend Redact. Reddit cuts it off after rewriting fewer than 20 comments. If I have to manually edit thousands of comments, I will; but I’d rather automate it.
Shreddit doesn’t seem to do mass edits, just deletions. Edits are safer than deletions (which Reddit seems to be restoring) and send a stronger message.
I’m looking into Power Delete Suite now.
EDIT: Ok, so Power Delete Suite gets blocked by Reddit’s rate-limiting. Thankfully, it’s Open Source, so I copied the code into ViolentMonkey and wrapped the pd.children.edit internals in a setTimeout() with a 2000ms delay, and that has been running successfully for hours (I also added a handler to alert me if I got any rate-limit messages in the response text, just-in-case).

- The Outer Wilds
- Doki Doki Literature Club
- Death Loop
- Death Stranding
It took me nearly a week to overwrite my 15+ years of content before I deleted my account. All of the mass-delete tools I tried ran afoul of underhanded Reddit tricks like rate limiting or having my session forcibly expired.
Ultimately I had to fork Power Delete Suite and make it wait 2000ms between requests (and to not overwrite previously overwritten content). That ran for almost two days straight before I was able to confirm that everything was successfully replaced.
But there you have it, I am officially Reddit-free.
Does anyone else feel like this is some kind of Putin-led theater to redirect blame for Ukraine on his own military leadership instead of himself?
“Oh look, it was the military leaders all along… they were colluding with the west to weaken Russia! What a patriot Prigozhin is for uncovering this horrible western conspiracy!”
Who at AMC decided hateful, bigoted propaganda was ever okay to begin with? During Pride Month, no less.
It should not take backlash for a company to not participate in spreading hate and bigotry.
