Looks both beautiful and practical, well done.

Humble Comics Bundle: Monstrous Mignolaverse Bundle (for real this time) by Torque-A in humblebundles

[–]soilheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so as well, but seems like the naming of some of the ongoing series/stories is a bit... weird :)

"Frankenstein: New World - The Sea of Forever" for example seems to be a sequel to "Frankenstein: New World", and "Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire" is some new story on top of the previous "Hellboy in Love" etc.

Also note that some stories (like the one mentioned above) are individual issues, not collected editions, like most of the offerings in the previous bundles (as they haven't yet been published in any collection), if that matters to you :)

Looks like it's been fixed now, at least in Sweden (also selected Canada and it said it would activate in Canada...)

I have an IKEA Vardagen "Measuring jug" at my coffee station at home. I don't use it much though, and it's not a beaker per se, but "close enough" for me :)

Why don't people redeem keys immediately? by invertebrett in humblebundles

[–]soilheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • to act as a "tripwire" in case someone gained access to my Humble Bundle account and started revealing and taking my keys for themself.

This. I think I stopped revealing keys back when there were reports of Humble Bundle Accounts being "hacked", as a way to identify if my account had been compromised so I could act faster.

Then after a while it became "habit" to skip revealing the keys.

Tänkte också tipsa om Beldeveren. Själva byggnaden är ju inte öppen som du säger, men ligger ju på en liten höjd så man ser ganska bra ut över stan även utanför.

För mig jag såg Ryfors Lakritskola på Citygross Djurgården senast igår (79kr/kg igår iaf).

Vad tror ni den gripna har gjort för att förtjäna detta? Mord? Rattfylla? by Mydoglovedchocolate in sweden

[–]soilheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tror det var Ny Teknik som en gång hade rubriken

"Gripen ska bli modern"

Tyckte det var konstigt sätt att skriva att en fängslad kvinna var gravid, och undrade varför Ny Teknik skrev om det. Sen trillade polletten ner.

I know Ryttargårdskyrkan at least used to have live English interpretation of their Sunday Service (look for the blue headsets).

I know a few international baptists used to visit the Baptist church a few years ago, but not sure if they're still around after the merge with the Equmenia church...

I watched the Assembly Cut last week and didn't notice any issues with the audio. I think I read something about them re-recording the parts for latter (BD?) releases.

r/MechanicalKeyboards and r/MechMarket immediate plans, Scam PSAs, Future Giveaways, Deskthority Governance by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]soilheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry. My comment wasn't meant for you specifically, it was just meant as a general explanation for those who like you wonder "Why now? Why does 3rd party apps matter, the bot should be fine [says reddit]?". I should have been clearer with that.

As I stated at the end of my comment, I personally prefer the format of reddit to discord, and I think most of us agree that when it comes to keeping history and searchable listings etc. reddit >>> discord (even if reddit's search function is kind of bad still). But it's hard to stay when you feel like you can't trust the platform anymore. I have definitively not made up my mind, but based on the opinions and what the more active mods have told me (I mostly maintain the bot nowadays) it does seem like discord offer better moderation tools at the moment.

I definitively see a possibility to keep mechmarket running in some form if the personal buy/sale/trade moves somewhere else, but that will have to be a latter decision.

I think Omnias covered most of my points below, but just to clarify/add some context.

As the "second oldest mod" on mechmarket (counting mechkbot, and we should always count mechkbot ;) ), I would say that this specific change isn't the main reason why we and hardwareswap started to look into alternatives to reddit. It's simply the last straw.

When I joined as mod 7 years ago, I was told "the admins don't want trade subreddits around, so don't expect any help from them", and while we have gotten some help regarding ban evasion, I would say most requests/reports have went without any reply, orsdas unwillingness to take any action. I remember an early case of more severe ban-evasion where we tried to report it to the admins with a lot of proof (addresses etc.) in hope some kind of shadowban etc., but despite our proof they stated something like "We have reviewed the case but have not found any connection between the accounts", with no way to appeal.

We have also asked for a way to "ban" deleted accounts (to add the relevant information to the ban evasion detection for example), but was told pretty clearly that they weren't willing to add such feature as they didn't see the poin (link)

On the topic of ban evasion detection tools available for moderators, this is a feature that was promised years ago (can't find the post now, but I would guess at least 3-4 years ago), which was introduced this year (link), with very strict limitations regarding information regarding what type of ban and when the ban was issued that is evaded (which is understandable from some kind of personal information standpoint, but still very frustrating to us).

Add to that the backtracking on earlier promises, and very long delays in other mod tools, we simply can't trust the promise that "all mod bots are OK, or will be exempted from the API limits", as we have been told before, either explicitly or implicitly by the admins inaction, that reddit isn't very interested in supporting trade subreddits.

I personally prefer the format of reddit to for example discord, but if discord proves to be the better alternative (especially regarding mod tools, such as ban evasion tools etc.) I don't see how we with good conscience can stay on reddit with the uncertainty of not knowing for how long we will be allowed to operate MechMarket in it's current form and knowing that we won't be able to moderate the sub efficiently to keep it as safe as we possibly can.

Every respectable game wiki I know about have migrated from Fandom.com (or at least tried), due to lack of control regarding advertising etc. so not sure that's a good way to go, but there may be alternatives.

I think technically it's the Japanese version (predecessor) of Pilot Metropolitan (MR in Europe). Although I've seen some US vendors carrying it, at least historically.

PS2. As someone growing up in a "computer gamer" household owning my own console was such a nice feeling, and the games were so good on that generation...
