I have told the few people I trust enough that the only reason I’m still here is because I know it would hurt them if I left.

I stopped caring way before covid. It’s just gotten worse since.

The StarCraft FPS.

I’m still mad about it.

It’s less that I don’t want them mentioning anything that connects to politics and it’s more about wanting them to just present information without any additional spin.

So “Trump has put tarrifs on x countries for x amount” vs “Trump has stupidly put x tarrifs on x countries because he’s a hateful tyrant” or whatever. I think you get what I’m trying to say.

I have absolutely no problem with talking about politics as it’s pretty much impossible to mention anything in history without it, but it can be done so in very different ways. I would prefer that teachers remain as neutral as they can while presenting only factual information on whatever political topics comes up.

Kinda how I wish the news would go back to facts first reporting as opposed to this current “rush the story out before we fact check anything and make the headline as polarizing as we can to generate maximum clicks. Who cares if we have to issue a correction later on page 97 in .5 size font (or at all) we just want clicks!” Type of “news” we have now.

I blame Reagan.

That’s funny. I had a teacher do something like this but in the other direction. All the questions had answers that pretty much forced you right into the blue. Shit like “do you think homeless people should be given assistance or should homeless people be shot and dumped into the sea?” Or “I think everyone deserves to find love vs gay people are the spawn of Satan”.

It is worth noting that I went to a very left leaning and notoriously “hippy” private school (against my will). I eventually managed to get expelled for smoking weed and not snitching on all my friends.

I don’t think teachers really should be pushing their political or religious agendas no matter what. School is for learning core basics in various categories.

Cunt

I always started with Bulbasaur mostly because my favorite color is green but also because grass types absolutely obliterate the first gym. I also find poison/leech to be a fantastic combo for catching pokemon later. Really get em down to exactly 1hp if you want.

I like playing games that incentivise stealth as Michael Bay films. Give me rocket launchers and c4. Yeah I don’t have the high score for the level but I will kill literally every single non-vital NPC.

Banned outta nowhere. I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and it was denied with no explanation. 2 accounts. Several 100 thousand post and comment karma on one of them. I had been banned from individual communities for pissing off random mods but never a site admin.

Fuck em. I hope it crashes and burns.

Lmao

Yeah not a fan of this day either.

Yeah it’s the computer augmentation of player inputs that I have a problem with. Alternative input methods that are still 1 to 1 with the human player input don’t bother me. I don’t care if it’s gyro or tongue joystick or whatever else.

Like conceptually or in a competitive environment? I think gyro aiming sucks to use personally but for some people who cant use traditional user interfaces I understand it can be revolutionary.

I have no problems with it as it is still just an alternative way to translate the humans input into a direct action. It’s no different than a thumb stick in my eyes.

I don’t want to seem dismissive, but I have had this argument 100s of times with an untold number of people over the years. If you ask any pro FPS player who has played at a top level on both they will all tell you that the two should never cross. At least not in any competitive/ranked situations.

It does not matter what you do. If there is anything altering the players inputs whatsoever those players need to be playing against only other people with those same assists and controls.

Ah thanks for the warning. I won’t waste my time then. Based I their first comment that does appear to be true for this topic at the very least lol.

I can almost guarantee you I know more about the topic and high level fps gaming in general than you do.

It’s April 1st y’all. Keep in in your pants.

As someone who has played competitive FPS games at a highish level in multiple games for most of his life I cannot fathom why they ever combined the two in the first place. Like I obviously understand more players and quicker matchmaking, but at the cost of competitive fairness??? No thanks.

Controllers playing against PC is fine without any any aim assist as that is just straight up a disadvantage for the controller player 99.9999% of the time, but the moment they add any aim assist to the controller it kills competitive integrity.

Controller players should only ever go up against other controller players if any amount of aim assistance is turned on and same goes for mouse and keyboard. That shit should not be on consoles and allowed to play against controllers for any reason.

I pretty much dropped Apex Legends entirely just because I wasn’t having fun anymore. I was a diamond player on M+KB and getting laserbeamed from across the map by a controller player just was not fun. Just like I am sure they hated getting hit by a nasty flick only possible with a mouse.

Player input uniformity is one of my biggest gaming gear grinding situations. It’s especially problematic with my favorite genre of games: competitive FPS games.

Wait I thought those movies were finished.

I will admit I never read the books or saw any of the movies after the first one, but I thought they had ran their course and finished?

Is this a spin off or are they gonna drag out a 34 year old Jennifer Lawrence to play a teenager again?

I have a base amount of trust/distrust I assign to everyone. Some people go up in trust and some people go down, but nobody is completely trustworthy. Even my parents have lied to me and hurt me in the past. I love them and trust them more than most people but I still know they are absolutely capable of betraying me.

I don’t know where you live but those plants would be eaten and gone in one night where I live lol. I hope you have a fence or gate to keep out deer/rabbits or whateve small creatures would love to snack on those treats.
