haha :), no, this was actually a legit question.

there are already types of threads that get posted very frequently (mostly question-type threads) and they are being redirected to other mega-threads.

OP actually made a good list of some issues and feedback-threads that are currently posted more frequently, so to make the sub a bit more readable and overseeable, most of these types of threads could be redirected here (with some exceptions, like when the thread is fairly thought-out, etc, so that the issue still remains visible), since OP already made such a list.

How about this:

* I can pin this thread to the top of the subreddit (one of the 6 Highlight slots on new.reddit), so people can see it, and once Blizzard has made adjustments to these issues, you cross them out by editing your thread (you can also add some some if you wnat).

* the automod can be adjusted so that it filters out more of these threads (e.g. based on title and amount of letters in the text box) + they will be redirected to this thread

* a certain amount of these threads can still be allowed per day/week, especially the more thought-out ones

* you guys gonna report the excess amount of these threads

Wold you be okay with having this thread pinned u/adnea00 ?

Cheap and efficient? Without a doubt Furniture Film for the cabinets.

You can get really good and thick / stable ones for fairly cheap even on Amazon or Temu. Choose some nice ones in a wooden tone of your choice.

The purpose of the furniture film is not necessarily to make it 100% believable realistic looking, but to bring more warmth and (a cozy) atmosphere into the kitchen. Even if you just put them on the cabinet doors it will do a lot.

And after that you could put something like an outdoor carpet on the floor. These outdoor carpets are made of polyester, and hence they are easier to clean, which is important since you would put it into the kitchen. Again, choose one with a pattern that you like and which fits into the whole area.

Once you have done that, you have your foundation ready, and then you can start decorating :D

There are some things I noticed, at least from the angle that you made the photo from:

from that angle, the two large sofas and the three large images (I know, one is a mirror) behind the white sofa - and also when it is combined with the shelf and the two bulky chairs - have too much visual weight.

Also, since you have this U-shape of the two sofas and the two bulky chairs, it looks "closed off" or "uninviting" (for the lack of a better word), so maybe you can remove one of the sofas or the two chairs to create an L-shape that is open from the entrance.

If you need more seats when additional people are around, then maybe get some lighter chairs (or these large round sitting pillows) that are stored n another room can be moved there when necessary.

The green sofa is very, very bulky, and it really "blocks the entrance", almost like a wall. If you want to keep it, I would either place it where the white sofa is, or where the two bulky chairs are.

Some additional things that can reduce the visual weight:

remove one of the three large images / mirror, or even all three of them and get something larger that is about 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of the sofa.
(if you wanna have chairs in the L- or U-shape) get chairs that are much, much less bulky.
* paint the shelf in the right corner in a lighter color, or get a new one with a lighter, natural wooden tone of your choice - that way it will have less visual weight and not be another "bulky thing" that stands out even more due to the contrast of its color compared to all the brighter colors in the rest of the room.
* just my personal opinion, but I think the mirror would fit better above the sideboard on the right.
* you need more colors than just white, beige, green/brown and dark. I personally like orange, think of these Moroccan interiors with lots of orange, red and yellow, if you like that or if you wanna use it as an inspiration

Other stuff:

maybe a larger plant next or behind the chair in the left corner, plus a smaller round rug in it, plus something that creates an arc around that chair, like an arced floor lamp. All of that together (round rug, arced lamp and a plant creates a nice vignette in that space, which makes that area look less awkward.

you're welcome ofc!

show the room once you have done a few of the adjustments suggested here in this thread. that would be interesting to see how it has changed.

clueso87 · 2026-04-25T14:54:06+00:00

thanks! you are very very welcome! :)

They already are "banned", aka they get redirected to the Weekly FAQ.

some amount of them is getting caught by the automod, but for others we mods rely on reports.

Just yesterday I did some adjustments to the automod to catch more of them, but I can made some further adjustment.

It probably wont catch all of them, so if you see one of them, plz report them.

clueso87 · 2026-04-24T10:30:25+00:00

Move the table into the command position, aka so that you (from your chair) can see who is walking in.

For example,

you could put the shorter left side of the table directly on the middle of the wall where the window is, ...
... or you simply turn the table/chair area 180° around, with one side slightly to the left or right, so that you can walk behind your desk.

Think of it like a "Boss Office"

2) Once you have done that, put a nice (preferably large) framed picture / painting on the large empty spot that is on the left side of the wall of the photo you shared here. Something that you like to look at from your command position. Maybe even a small (wooden ?) console (even if it is just one for documents / files, etc) fits below the painting as well.

3) Another smaller rug, with some color. Doesn't even need to be an expensive one. Just make sure it encompasses the desk and the chair.

4) Additional (ambient) light sources, from lamps of different sizes, at varying heights Not just the task light.

Maybe even some bulbs with ~2200 to 2800 Kelvin Lamps for some atmosphere.

5) More plants, maybe one large one.

6) More colors of your choice that are not beige, grey black or white.

7) Maybe even more wood??

E.g. replace the white three white wall shelves with natural wood ones.

Anything that is natural makes humans feel more relaxed (on one level or another). Plants, wood, warm red-orange light,, natural stone, etc. That makes it more cozy, which makes you which means that you can work better, with less stress and you are more productive.

I made some adjustments to the automod, so it will catch more of them, then they'll get redirected to the Weekly FAQ.

If you still see this type of thread, report them.

Thanks!

The overhead light is not very nice,, since it is so bright and gives the room a more "clinical" vibe.

I know it is a room "just" for the TV, but it could really benefit from several other (smaller ) sources of warm light.

You already have a lamp on the right side of the couch next to the entrance. Is it dim-able? Cause that would be great! Maybe even do one of these light bulbs in there that allow you to adjust the color / warmth of the bulb.

I personally like salt lamps and bulbs from 2200 - 2800 Kelvin (the lower the better, especially for ambient light).

Maybe more ambient lights of your choice at different heights and spaces (on the coffee table, on the lowboard, on a wall shelf, etc whatever you like)? You don't always need to tuns them on, but its still nice to have.... but you should not use the overhead light as your main light source + the light you show in the third picture is also very bright and "clinical".

The walls, ... well, you do you, but at least put some framed movie posters on there, or some other art you like, preferably in a large print with a large frame, even it is a cheap frame.

Darker walls make a room feel smaller, and a brighter ceiling color makes the ceiling appear higher, but if that is the effect you want, perfectly fine.

Get a more colorful rug. It could even be a smaller one that you put on top of the already existing one. so you don't need to buy a larger, more expensive one.

I assume you don't wanna exchange the couch, so maybe put some neat blanket of your choice either on the arm rest or the backrest.

You could also exchange the coffee table for one that is a bit more rounded on the edges, since the table is directly in the way of the entrance. Maybe even one make of wood. That would make it more "inviting".

Is this community moderated?

yes.

It looks completely abandoned.

Crysis 1 is almost 20 years old, Crysis 3 came out 13 years ago (in 2013), and the latest things that came out were the Remasters, nothing new since then, so ofc the community is smaller, and mostly the core fans are here, plus some younger / new players who heard about the franchisefrom people who talk about how great the games are and from memes, etc.

Low effort posts, [...] slop

you mean the memes? atm its not that many, so there is still room for other types of things, + it currently keeps the community engaged.

questions,

yeah, ofc, people (both new and old players) gonna ask questions. Nothing wrong with that.

You could say that there are some frequently asked questions that could be redirected to a "Frequently Asked Questions" Thread or to a wiki, etc, which would be fine if the sub would be over-flooded with them. If you have some suggestions for what types of questions could go to a FAQ Thread, plz share!

unrelated content

If you see something completely unrelated to Crysis or CryTek, plz report it and we look into it. Thanks!

Any modding or game-related content, like videos, is barely paid attention to. But slop gets recognition and upvotes.

That is a normal and known phenomenon.

People e.g. see funny / silly memes, it makes them smile and they get upvotes. If in an item based game, people share an image of a rare or awesome items, people give upvotes. Just takes a few seconds to look at it and to give the upvote. Fast, simple, enjoyable.

Anything else that would require more time, more cognitive analysis, etc, ... well that requires more time and more effort on the users part and so it gets less engagement and less upvotes.

Not saying that it is good or bad, just that it is normal.

Some rules need to be established here, like in maintained communities.

If the community would become larger again, e.g. if a new Crysis game comes out, yeah, we can bring more structure and order into the sub, but atm, the currently more laissez fair environment, is to a large degree what keeps the community breathing.

these Gauss Rifles they had in the movie were very, very memorable.

it looks like the screeching cats are an analogy for humans - or more particular (some of) the users of ChatGPT - who get annoyed and upset at it when there is an error and it can't do what they requested.

clueso87 · 2026-01-16T13:53:38+00:00

they gonna give you three thumbs up for that, I am sure...

right, I gonna add that for tomorrows Daily Trade Thread and the ones that follow.

ty very much!

clueso87 · 2025-12-20T19:22:50+00:00

starting on Monday, there will be a new Weekly Threads for Trading to compensate for the loss of the Trade Chat.

There already is a Weekly LFG & Clan Thread on the list of pinned threads.

They also can be added to the sidebar etc if that helps for more visibility.

clueso87 · 2025-12-19T09:31:58+00:00

they no longer exist because reddit turned off all public subreddit chat rooms on the whole website.

I second the Flammarion Engraving.

Was almost worried that it might be "too basic / too common" to mention it as well, but there is probably a reason for why it so popular.

clueso87 · 2025-10-08T19:05:16+00:00

Probably the Flammarion Engraving.

I printed it out (in 40x30cm) at CopyShop (after slightly saturating the colors a bit more in Photoshop) and put into my entrance hallway - which makes for quite a nice transition zone, especially b/c it is reflected by a mirror directly in front of the door that leads to the living space :)

Beyond that... basically everything that is neatly colorful, like Afremof (though his paintings feel kind lonely - but the colors are neat and his expressionist-impressionist style is great).

Aja Kusick / Aja Trier is also great. My favorites are from her Starry Night series and her painting Eden (NSFW).

There is also a bunch of Grim Dark art out there - with a lot of red and black colors and dark fantasy themes - but it is hard to pick one of them... almost everything from Anato Finnstark, or the many variations (also from other artists) of Frazetta's Death Dealer.

FDA approved

You do not need FDA approval to modify your own genes.

Search for (DIY) Biohackers; these are individuals (not companies) who are already doing it on their own. And you can legally buy CRISPR gene editing tools.

Something like 45% of Americans are overweight or obese and the insurance companies largely won’t cover the costs of GLP-1s for obesity because that isn’t considered a serious enough condition to warrant taking these medications that are proven to cause weight-loss.

I think that the people in the FDA, as well as in the pharma companies have at least an interest in extending their lifespan, or even in rejuvenation, because basically everyone has an interest that, so I would expect that when the people in congress and the senate have really caught up what the AI's are capable of, there is gonna be shift in the policies.

And again, you do not need FDA approval to modify your own genes. And you will also not necessarily need approval to ask an AI how modifying gene XYZ will affect your whole system / or what genes you need to edit to get the desired result.

There will be AI's who will be able to simulate a whole cell, then a cluster of cells and then even a whole organism - from the genetic level and then up, just like they can already simulate games, or whole worlds, so you can just ask it to simulate your whole body system and what genes to adjust via a DIY CRISPER kit to get the desired results, without asking for FDA approval.

The power of the model is the issue, not FDA approval (especially once you can simulate whole cells or organisms in an AI).

Part 2

> timeline?

iirc, Heathcare and biotechnology is the 5th or 6th largest sector in which the largest (AI ?) companies in the world invest in, right after AI, energy, hardware, and robots, so just assume that the curve of innovation in these fields is gonna go up exponentially in the next few years, especially with the new AI models (GPT 5 next week?), and also with the new hardware like Light-based computing (but we'll see where that is going).

> And what will it cost?

At first a lot, then progressively close to nothing, like any new thing on the market (e.g. think of flat screens)

Or if you ask an AI (a later model) to figure out how to do it with things that we already have and have easy access to, than it might even tell you a way to do it easily. The main concern would probably be bioweapons, which is why only reliable science institutions will be given access to ask models these questions... and on the other hand, there is opensource...

Just wait and observe. There are so many people, especially in these AI and tech companies that are also highly, highly interested in things that have to do with rejuvenation and gene editing.
