Yes, but once in a while I would like to get an opinion from someone who studies subject matter for a living, rather than as a hobby. Doesn’t mean they are always right of course, but their insight is more likely to provide me new information.

Like an average poster on cricket chat is likely to be more knowledgeable about the game than average poster on pakpassion for example. Cricketweb posters don’t necessarily do this for living but they have spent countless more hours debating/ reading/ analyzing the game.

r/citieskylines is excellent and what drew me to reddit. My only criticism would be some have decided good urban planning = the only way you are allowed to play the game. Thankfully there's been some very firm pushback.

"Here's my island, pop 180k. It's a soulless grid of efficiency with traffic at 87%. I've called it New Amsterparis"

There's actually a semi decent Facebook group for cities skylines where I've learnt a lot. There's one guy who meticulously crafts 0arts of his city with custom assets for the express purpose of taking a beautiful screenshot and it's great the amount of detail (down to things like benches and advertisement hoardings) that is in each shot. It's a creative game, afterall.

r/rugbyunion used to be genuniely great, then they threw out most of the rules and it became just memes.

I'm not sure tbh. The number of obnoxiously biased English, Crusaders and Blues fans has ruined it for years.

That sub has given me a stubborn refusal to give Will Jordan or any Crusaders loose forward any credit. 90% of them just watch highlights reels and never full games.

My favourite new guys are the ones who show up, wow the pigeons with some zany cricket posts, then get banned a week later for just being terrible.

My favourites are the ones who turn up, put in really low effort cricket posts of no real opinion or value, which is a smokescreen for them to go hard with increasingly racist posts in the N+P sub (but are always just "asking questions").

Not "everyone". There are definitely a fair few people who aren't a fan of his posting.

He can post some very reasonable stuff and when he brings a bit of personal life info it it's a bit more grounded and interesting.

The flip side is score updates in a match thread when anyone interested in the match will be watching, listening or following Cricinfo. It becomes tedious.

i suppose and not to relitigate what already happened and justice prevailed, if posting is "tedious" you can sort of just scroll past it or not engage, whereas with the other category of poster you identify they're vile and bring down the name and repute of the whole community, and may even specifically attack other identities or groups within the community

i think it's great as a community that we gang tackle vile bigots tbh because bigotry is not welcome in our house

the score updates are at least tolerable as they are small and can easily be scrolled past. the previews and factoids copied from preview articles though, pain in the ass to scroll past due to how long they are

Personally a huge fan of the score updates from 20 minutes ago

careful you’ll bring the defensive argument from people who only have these forums as accessible for some reason that it allows them to follow a match by reading through the posts after the match is long over
