I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • The /GROG/ threads in /tg/ were a constant source of good posts by Oldhammer players and a great resource for links to Oldhammer content that would otherwise be difficult to find.

    /WIP/ on /tg/ has given me a lot of great tips throughout the years.

    More recently, the Trench Crusade and MCP threads tend to be good for discussion and updates (when they aren’t being raided by posters looking to call everything bad just to rustle people).

    /k/ has gotten a lot more boring in the last few years as pretty much none of the original crew of tripposters are around anymore, but it can still produce the occasional nugget of good info, and usually has at least a couple of interesting picture threads up. I will say during the initial 2022 invasion times in Ukraine, /k/ had pretty much up to the minute updates and daily info threads for a few years.


  • Qanon was a tripcode poster on /pol/, and a successor to the less famous FBIanon which was probably the same person.

    The whole Qanon phenomenon is really fascinating because the actual Qanon poster stopped posting in like, 2018, but because boomers on Facebook don’t know how anything works they’d just keep circulating that “Qanon said such and such” to each other on Facebook. It stopped being anything said by a specific poster on 4chan and started to just become this strange ethereal concept.


  • I guess I just leave a tab open because it is a non-issue for me, at least on /tg/ and /k/. The timer doesn’t seem to reset on threads opened from the existing tab. That or my ad blocking extensions block whatever janky system the site uses.

    I made comments (multiple in one thread without seeing a timer reset) as recently as a couple of days ago with no issue.




  • Also complaints that lack specificity must be aggravatingly common. I once complained on an open board about a bug in Wasteland 3 and a dev reading comments actually PM’d me asking for details. I provided details as best I could, including screenshots- the very next patch included a fix for my niche issue. But I imagine most bug reports being “GAME BROKEn! SUX! Fix NOW character creation BROKENN!”










  • I’ve been doing my best to add content. I’m currently working on a book review, a video game review, and a Battletech post. Unfortunately posts like that take time and are outpaced by the tempo of news articles and resulting arguments within.

    If you want a more positive experience you should unsubscribe from all the news & politics stuff. Trust me, when you click on “frontpage all”, it will be there. No reason to also have it in your subscribe feed. Go into the creative communities and at the very least comment. Give some feedback, and ideally add something of your own. Lemmy is too small to simply expect content to exist without adding some of your own.
