  • So Imma be real with you. I switched to DDG full time on all my devices, mostly out of security concerns and the desire to not feed the monopoly.

    That said, DDG is so much worse at finding what I’m actually looking for than Google ever was. It’s a bit frustrating, I have so many reasons to like DDG, but being a good search engine isn’t one of them.

    But for the record, Google isn’t great at finding what I want anymore either, and with its AI bullshit it’s likely to simply lie to me. Really, 2010 Google search is superior to modern Google search by every metric possible, that was peak web search for me.

    Unless you use private servers rather than matchmaking systems and publisher hosted servers.

    I can still play the now 19 years old call of duty 4: modern warfare. Online multiplayer works just fine and Activision doesn’t have to do a damn thing to maintain it.

    Younger gamers may not know this, but all online games used to work this way, you’d hit the “online multiplayer” button and the game would start populating a list of player-managed servers hosting games.

    It has always been a superior system to automatic matchmaking, and it still is.


  • Sure, the stock is pretty funny just hanging out there.

    But I do see the appeal of a simple clamp to hold your standard issue weapon. It means there’s nothing specialized in the gun, if there’s a problem with that particular weapon, just clamp another one in, you have plenty of that particular weapon available. Looking at the photo, it appears they just clamp it to the top rail, that’s actually pretty slick in my opinion.

    Simple drop-in solutions are often very effective at a low cost.
