@matrix just noticed you implemented a block report bot. Now I'm wondering if I was really blocked by 6 people in the last 8 hours, or are these just old blocks that are showing up with delays because you just turned on the bot?
I think I realized why I hate battle royale games. The thing is, it's not the games themselves I have the biggest problem with. It's with the players who think they're some big shots over winning a few matches.
These games are designed to be noob and casual cancer. If you want to gain my respect, be the last one standing in Counter-Strike, Quake, Unreal Tournament. Actual competitive shooters. But the people becoming famous over Fortnite probably never touched CS 1.6 even.
Keep playing whatever you want, but stop pretending it's some big deal. You might as well be playing Solitaire competitively.
It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!!!
Haven't played Borderlands 3 (and probably never will), but from some lore videos that are starting to crop up everywhere it's starting to sound like they really messed up their own franchise story.
As a side note, it seems that at least they manage to put in a few good easter eggs.
I never thought of #Quinnspiracy or #GamerGate as a #MeToo thing. Interesting take.
Watching a stream centered on Greta Thurumcheeseburger, discussing climate change and all that... but the hypocrisy in defending her is painful to listen to.
When a child Christian evangelist comes along, they all gather around to point out that they're clearly being indoctrinated and pushed into it by their parents and so on. But when it's Greta: "she must be sincere because she's been doing activism for so long" and "I think not even her parents could persuade her to not do it". Are you listening to yourself talk? If she's 16 years now, how young was she when she started? And do you think it's normal for children that young to pick up activism? If you can recognize this is fucked up when it comes to religions, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE IT HERE?!
Thou shalt not touch the magic wands together!
I don't think I agree with the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations" anymore.
When you keep telling people out there that X minority can't take care of themselves without help from your white savior complex, how is that "soft" bigotry?
How is that not more insidious and more damaging long term? How is that not psychological manipulation and abuse of these minorities? How long till you go into a full "I, Robot" tirade, and decide to put all minorities in boxes because the world is too dangerous for them?
You're trying to be another parent for minorities, but you are an abusive, overprotective parent, that will leave your "children" scarred and unable to function IRL.
Well, guess who's not gonna give Destiny 2 a try.
Although, to be fair, I wasn't exactly convinced to try and see if I'd actually like it anyway. I'm not much of a multiplayer gamer, and I kinda got the impression that Destiny is the WoW of shooters, in that, you can't realistically solo it.
Anyway, Bungie is making one hell of a mistake.
I'm getting closer and closer to giving up The Atheist Experience podcast. I've been following these guys for... shit, at least 6-7 years. But recently, their slow shift towards the woke left is annoying as hell.
Their last brilliant idea, was to start the show with a lady scolding the audience about how we pollute too much, and that we need to stop wasting paper, and how bad it is that we buy bottled water every time we leave the house, and so on.
1) You MORON, you're preaching to the choir. Why the fuck are you reprimanding the EXACT people who probably are already doing their part? How do you think you're gonna make them feel, when you still attack them like this? They're gonna say: fuck it, I can't do anything to please this bitch anyway, might as well pollute.
2) If you want to get people that don't buy into your alarmism to play along, you don't attract them by saying: "well it doesn't take much to do your part and help save the planet". We're talking about people that already don't believe all of this! Why would you think they'd put ANY effort to "save the planet"? If you had any intelligence in that skull of yours, you'd go for the economic angle. Tell people how they could save money by getting a reusable water bottle, and filling it at home before they leave, instead of admonishing them for daring to buy drinks in plastic bottles.
3) And THE BIGGEST blunder you could have done is invoke Greta Thumberdurken, and say "look how much good this girl is doing". You guys CONSTANTLY talk about how bad it is when religions indoctrinate and abuse children, so how the fuck do you miss when people on your side do the exact same thing? If you're gonna dare tell me she's doing this of her own volition, then I'm gonna tell you that every christian kid that "accepted Christ into his heart" also did it under their own volition, and I'll watch you squirm under your own hypocrisy.
Does anyone remember the trajectory of Elon Musk's space Tesla car?
I just realized that if that thing manages to leave the solar system, it could unironically be the most easily detectable (by aliens), interstellar probe that humanity has ever launched.
And if an intelligent alien species does get their hands on it, they might learn more about humanity from studying that car, than from a bullshit gold plated "vinyl" disc. (I'm looking at you Voyager probes).
(I would laugh my ass off if the play toy of a capitalist got us to make contact with intelligent life out there and not the efforts of government funded NASA).
This kind of thing is basically why I'm not interested in water cooling. Even AIOs would technically need maintenance and replacement after a while. And the worst part of an AIO, is that you're not even able to see inside the loop if something goes wrong.
The only way to do water cooling right, is to do a custom loop, which would necessitate constant maintenance and praying that the pump doesn't fail, or that water doesn't leak and burn something.
Meanwhile, I've yet to witness a stock cooler air fan fail. I'm not even talking about some supreme after market master race cooler here. I'm talking about cheap stock stuff being more reliable and risk free.
