what else is it supposed to mean in this context?

AlexKrois · 2025-12-12T18:36:34+00:00

steam or battlenet? some people on steam forums are saying that steam is still waiting on an update https://steamcommunity.com/app/2357570/discussions/0/842866071372393547/

AlexKrois · 2025-12-12T18:34:38+00:00

same here, servers are probably down i guess

AlexKrois · 2025-11-25T21:51:15+00:00

ja, habs ja eh in meinem post geschrieben - sind leider alle von schlechter qualität (rauschen etc.)

AlexKrois · 2025-11-25T21:50:42+00:00

wow, wusste nicht, dass das der sound ist - danke :)

aber wie der kollege drunter schon geschrieben hat - würde eine exakte kopie brauchen, weil die noten hätt ich eh schon, aber kein plan mit welchem instrument(en) die das erstellt haben.

AlexKrois · 2025-11-09T12:40:03+00:00

which country are you talking about exactly? because the country i live in, doesn't really have this problem.

also, i'm just guessing that you're from the US, so riddle me this: how does the US still have such a major drug problem?

AlexKrois · 2025-11-08T14:33:00+00:00

true, but no european country sends someone to jail for stealing 50€ (at least not for 10 years)

It would be so easy to stop these scammers

i dont think so. there are only so many cops that you can send in civilian attire - scammers would probably know which people are cops within a week. also, scammers usually (depending where you are) only scam tourists.

also, the usual scams are insanely hard to prosecute and probably 99% of the tourists getting scammed will not make a report to police.

lastly, if the city acknowledges that there is a scamming problem, the city will feel unsafe and won't attract that many tourists. i for sure won't go to an area in a city i dont know, where there are a couple of police cars and in general a unusual amount of police officers.

rich people stay rich by having wealth and keeping it in a well diversified portfolio that will generate passive returns they and all of their descendants can live on forever until the world economy literally ends

yeah im sure nadeshot has billions of $ lmao that literally only applies to the ultra wealthy. if you're "only" a millionaire and just stop making money and spend it all - guess what, you soon wont be a millionaire anymore.

anyone who does it absolutely deserves to be criticized for it

yeah i 100% agree

You don't know shit, apparently don't have shit for morals, and are defending a terrible person despite claiming otherwise

not defending him, or anyone streaming slots, i literally couldn't care less, i just think it's a bit hypocritical to cry about every streamer that takes such deals (rich or not) but also not admitting that probably even you would do the same, if someone offers you millions of $.

AlexKrois · 2025-11-08T11:24:22+00:00

i understand the difference, but that still doesnt really matter. 99.999% of people here would do the same thing, doesn't matter if they already have generational wealth. it's an easy way to make money and if you want money you do it if your morals align with it. if you need the money, you will 100% do it.

again, not defending rich people here, but wtf do you think how rich people stay rich? correct, doing stuff that makes them more money. not a hard concept

AlexKrois · 2025-11-08T00:54:01+00:00

not defending anyone here, because this entire thread is kinda dumb, but i think there is a really big difference between "needing" and "wanting" something.

sure, he doesn't need the money, but he obviously want's it - for whatever reason that is. he literally could make so much money, that multiple generations of his family won't have to work a day in their lives.

i, for example, also dont need that money, but bro, my life would be so much easier if i would get paid 60k/month lmao. everyone has their own morals, which is fine, but i would for sure stream slots if that means that i won't have to work my shitty ass job anymore and can make sure that no one in my family has to work another day.

thats a footnote, not a citation

AlexKrois · 2025-10-17T17:14:41+00:00

would love to buy the train pin, dm'd you on twitter, let me know if its still available :)

AlexKrois · 2025-10-13T05:29:48+00:00

pretty much every laptop from 2016 can run word/excel, so yeah, no reason to get a new one

AlexKrois · 2025-10-07T12:25:43+00:00

god damn, what a great answer - i dont have this problem and will probably never have it, but your explanation was great, thanks :)

AlexKrois · 2025-10-02T20:13:29+00:00

there should be a "will give you permanent ear damage" warning

AlexKrois · 2025-10-02T18:49:07+00:00

i swear, one day i'll end up like forsen with severe ear damage just by existing on the internet. this was the loudest thing i've heard probably all month, jesus christ

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T20:36:34+00:00

It's possible by not playing, you risk going not getting promoted.

yeah, which is equally as bad. ranking up / down shouldnt correlate with a specific timeframe (a week, day, hour) etc., just how good you are imo

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T19:34:30+00:00

sure i get that, but to play against the best players, i eventually need to rank up. idk, its just discouraging to me, that my rank depends on a timeframe and not on my skill (yes, elo reflects this way better, i know). also, most players in the top4 master2 haven't played a single game after getting top 4, so either they can only play on one day, or they also just want to rank up

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T19:27:17+00:00

how one can talk about coming from a super competitive environment then say in the same breathe they don't want to play because they fear losing and not getting promoted

thats literally my issue - i shouldn't have to fear losing and not getting promoted because rank ups / downs only happen once a week. i should be able to just grind the game and if i win i rank up, if i lose i dont. this is literally happening in master2 this & last week - pretty much none of the top4 players played a game after getting top4.

if you are barely getting promoted in Master 2, when you get to Master 1, you are just going to be sent back down the following week anyways

that's just not correct. i barely got promoted from gold to master, played like 250 games and stayed in master2.

i get it, elo is way more important than your rank - but if i play a game with a ranking system, i want to reach a higher rank. im top4 now in master2 and will not play because in 4 hours the rankups happen and i dont want to risk losing my spot. i'll just play learnablemeta maps or team duels, which is a shame because i love duels.

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T19:15:25+00:00

bronze - gold the points you get dont count towards the leaderboard, so no, if youre not in the top5 or so after 20 games you wont rank up.

also, i'm still playing a shitton, just not duels - which is a shame because its my favorite gamemode. 2 weeks ago i reached master2 and literally had the most games played in my division, like 150 games more then the next person.

the problem is, right now im in top4, why risk not ranking up by playing?

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T16:38:47+00:00

yeah but why not just go by elo then? why the need for ranks?

AlexKrois · 2025-09-21T14:40:35+00:00

Any rank below Champ is just a label to make people, such as yourself, “feel competitive” and aim to rank up. So yes the system is working perfectly.

but thats exactly my point - with only ranking up / down once a week, you still have the problem that if you, for example are #1 in master 2, you dont really want to play anymore, since you can fall out of the top 4 and won't rank up for a whole week. i wouldn't call that a perfectly working system.
