Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I was just banned for using the name "Kyle Ritenhouse" on NHL 22. The ban ended after a week, but I still can't play online. I appealed the suspension and they said it stands. Wtf

I don't think this is going to change things much from a censorship perspective. There is a forum I am on that is private that has a bunch of blizzard employees on it. It is the most biased group of radical libs you can imagine. I used to be on there a ton until all the political stuff started happening. It's a cesspool now.
Its big tech MSFT after all, we can't be that surprised. I do think there will be a huge push towards decentralization over the next 10-15 years. It solves so many of those problems and will provide much needed competition to big tech.

.... If you can't beat them, buy them
And then turn their products woke
One of my buddies helped start Blizzard and a lot of his character designs in StarCraft & WOW are still int the newer generations. He's a big time constitutionalist. But his friends on social media always debating him are crazy insufferable.
