I appreciate the effort but I'm not American. I simply follow American politics because sadly American politics impacts the rest of the world.

In vacuum I agree. In the US electoral system voting for a third party is almost the same not voting at all, so it really doesn't matter if you vote for third party or you vote for nobody. My issue is that in the context of America voting third party makes no sense, especially this election. By voting third party you don't care who gets elected and it makes no sense to me because who goes "I don't really care if fascists come into power and start oppressing women and foreigners". Who the fuck is indifferent to fascism? Apparently third party voters.

And how exactly does a free fly invalidate the article about refunds requiring an NDA? Nobody is questioning whether there's is some semblance of a game in a project that has been in development for over a decade, it would be a massive red flag if there's wasn't. What people are questioning is why is there a secret shop page that players can access ONLY after they've spent a thousand dollars on the game, and then another secret shop page after they've spent 10k? What's up with the predatory practices?

Is your response "No no no, don't look at those controversies. Look at how pretty the game is"? A free fly event doesn't invalidate the claim that you might need to sign an NDA to get a refund. It doesn't invalidate the claim that the devs had to pull 7 day work weeks. There are loads of criticism that the free fly does not address at all. These articles would exist even if everyone tried the free fly.

From my experience games that get "hate articles" are games that are already doing questionable things. You don't get such articles circulating about good games because that shit just won't stick. When it comes to SC and CI that shit does stick.

It is autopilot (a poor one but still one) that legally calls itself cruise control so Tesla wouldn't have to take responsibility when it inevitably breaks the law.

I don't know about your situation but it is okay to not have any aspirations. I had one aspiration which is kind of a cop out because everyone wants that. I wanted to be happy with my life. I figured if I was happy I'd figure out what I really wanted to do. Once I figured out how to be happy nothing changed, I didn't get some magical desire to do more or be more. I was happy and I was happy being happy.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you have aspirations you'll probably feel them, and if you dont feel them then maybe you don't have them. There's no set way to go through life, some people have aspirations and some don't. The only good life advice I can give is that best way to go through life is doing whatever makes you happy. It's your life, don't live it for what society expects you to live for, don't live it for what your parentst want you to live for, live for yourself.

Kids are absolutely post main story content. You better have your life in order and your aspirations met because you're about to do some serious compromising when you throw a kid in the mix. I think one of the best decisions of my life was to fulfill my needs before having children.

So if your ISP goes under and it's the only option in your area you'd rather be without internet than have a nationalized internet, even if the government is not allowed to snoop your data?

Man, I hope Ferrari will come to regret choosing Leclerc over Sainz. I know Leclerc looks better on paper but Sainz definitely has the secret sauce to make magic happen.

Vance would stream casting couch, except in his streams the couch would do the "casting".

bad race start,

"No, it was a great start".

I still can't get over that one, that was almost Russell-esque response.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That doesn't make the criticism invalid.

Ah, didn't remember that. That's cool.

Hello

This community has been rather inactive for a long time and probably partly because the community creator and former mod was never active. There's also no strong CS community on lemmy so I decided to step up and hopefully shape this community into a healthy CS community, because I love CS and I don't want to go Reddit for my CS fix.

Moving forward I will take a more active role in this community to post content for others to discuss. To focus the discussions I will start by creating megathreads for the bigger happenings in the community. For instance instead of having 20 posts about the HLTV top 20 players that will get little to no comments, I will create a HLTV top 20 megathread to get more a discussion going on.

At least that's the plan, please do stick around and help me (by posting, commenting and upvoting) help you get this community up and running.

 

I would like to take a mod position to try and get this community off the ground as @Osiris seems to be inactive.
