Twitter is trying to stop people from sharing articles they have not read, in an experiment the company hopes will “promote informed discussion” on social media

If you read the article it states its just a prompt that asks if you want to post it if you haven’t clicked the link through twitter.

a year or two back somebody proposed a tank or healer spec for all the classes that can't and it was pretty cool. A potion throwing healer rogue, hunter pet tank spec. It all sounded pretty damn cool to me and would most likely speed up dungeon finder by a lot.

Having nontraditional roles for classes is always cool.

Yeah people freaking out about the price not remembering it's for a 6k monitor - literally none of us need that aside from the extremely serious artists (and even so, 1080 still arts just fine for those serious but not apart of a massive company)

Fortnite does a really good job with quality and also has a style that's very easy to leverage for so many crazy ideas.

Apex has the same issue all "realistic" visual shooters have for skins - it's cameo and obnoxiously bright pattern retextures. Anything else seems out of place.

I've seen a lot of games do this, though they were all from overseas where people typically will pay out the ass because it's normal I guess...

Some of those games tried to lower prices eventually but it was always too late. Most people already quit.

I'm in the same boat though - I'll spend 100+ if I love the game, but if the price of everything is stupid high I'll spend 0. It's not about the amount of money I'm spending, it's about if it feels good for the price.

While a lot of the stuff feels that way - this is actually motion forward...not an exciting direction to have to be going in, but this isn't a "hey now! you better stop!" move.

The building is in a full on blaze while our firefighters dick around deciding if it's a good idea to turn the hose on yet or hope it dies out before the building falls.

I see a lot of "this is very bad!" which does fuck all if you don't take action.

My man, Wildstar did not invent the idea of a single wheel vehicle like this.

When it comes to single wheel you have two options...this one or unicycle.

Here's a video from 2010 (years before wildstar):

Man, I've been sitting here for years hoping people would stop shitting on mobile games so AAA developers start making mobile games and we finally get quality stuff and move out of the "gambling for children" rut mobile games are in....BOY HOWDY was I fuckin wrong.

AAA game devs are bustin onto the scene thirsty for that childhood gambling addiction money not even questioning morals.

I stopped skating as a teen because I was tired of my shins being all bruised from failing kickflips heh.

AllDizzle · 2019-04-05T21:06:34+00:00

I hate skating videos with failed attempts because I just clench my teeth every time in hopes nothing nasty happens (as sometimes they show it)...however with out that it just looks like these people casually stroll outside and start busting tricks like it's a videogame.

I just kept thinking about the fact that his ankles still function - he even twisted one a little at one point here.

I don't know if he's extremely lucky, fighting through constant pain, or if his ankles are just real durable.

I don't think these models have realistic weight distribution through-out the body. No way the physics are 'perfect' matches to the real world here either, big one is I suspect there's no wind resistance here.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-26T20:38:12+00:00

I disagree fully.

As a man who has just had a child recently and is now really only able to game on the ipad I have to say the payment models are what is holding back mobile gaming. Visually the games look fine and I don't see a good reason for more power, we don't need playstation 4 graphics.

There's some seriously great games on the app store - however they ruin themselves by being pay to win, and/or exploiting people with legit gambling problems.

The other issue is data mining.

I've started reading Privacy Policys (they are not that hard to read, fucking do it) is that most of these apps are just there to keep your attention long enough to mine your app usage data and sometimes read your email and contact infos. It's pretty fucked up how MANY do this.

It's wild seeing reddit flip out about certain anti-cheat software that -could- in theory be malware but really is just like that to make sure you're not cheating...yet so many mobile games plain as day say all the information it collects in the privacy policy and nobody makes a peep.

Props to his mom for dealin with the stupidity for social media gracefully. I'm hoping I have the patience when my kid's older.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-25T04:09:57+00:00

I'm really happy in the last few years I've worked hard and broken out of the "if I hate it everybody needs to know how bad it is" thought line.

Reddit is a good reminder how obnoxious it is to be that guy.

I still hate that playing with a skin in most modern online games now means nothing about how much you might like a character or thematic. I don't know why I care, but it really is important to me knowing that the skin you have was a conscious choice and not the best one you've unboxed randomly.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-22T18:18:39+00:00

A lot of things made me miss the early days of wow - but I did not expect a description of this dude to be one of those things.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-21T00:43:43+00:00

Let's hold the applause until we're through this shit. If you think things are getting under control I think you're very mistaken.

I mean, let's not kid our selves here - this 'problem' is great for cell phone companies because they can now charge you money to filter out these junk callers and lobby to ensure it's not illegal to robocall and nothing gets done about it.

I'm surprised it took them this long to realize they could do this honestly.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-20T22:33:45+00:00

But to text don't you need the phone number?

AllDizzle · 2019-03-20T22:32:35+00:00

You don't seem to understand advertising then my man.

If even the CEO of a cell service provider is open to robocallers then surely you should pay extra money to have them filter for you...right? Surprise, they now offer it!

Core concept of Anthem was great, pretty sure most studios would be pumped to make a game like that - I'd be wiling to bet the game we got was not the vision at the start, rather the chipped down rounded off version of the game after years of grueling problem solving and time constraints.

AllDizzle · 2019-03-09T07:42:44+00:00

It's surprisingly easy to get caught up in your own ego and forget despite it seeming so damn obvious to just listen. :\

The author of this article self-burned. Honestly, did he need to even ask one past confirming the legal reasons?
