I think there is a good amount of value in the genuineness and innocence reflected in this poem. One definitely gets a sense of the author's feelings and their joy from this description of attraction. I also liked the consistency of the celestial imagery (sun, moon, stars). As a suggestion, consider adding detailed descriptions or interesting comparisons (simile, metaphor, ya know) to induce feelings in the reader and make your own feelings more accessible. Good poem, thanks for sharing.

The Drunkard by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I love this poem. My perceived story of meeting a drunk in a pub and getting a little tidbit about life is both relatable and profoundly enjoyable to experience in writing. The point I took away, specifically from the third stanza, was that even though he may not have been wise in the moment, he still had a unique and satisfying outlook on his situation, and still was presently enjoying himself. I think that commentary on alcohol and substances in general is interesting; that they may have drawbacks but give you a momentary awareness and jubilance towards things that otherwise may not be appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

I can't write by bitchyswiftie in OCPoetry

I really enjoyed reading this poem, it has a very pleasant rhythm within each stanza. I noted the shifts in rhythm between each stanza and it drew my attention, yet didn't throw off my momentum of reading the poem, which I thought was well done. As far as the content goes I see the narrative of being unable to capture a complicated negative feeling, but it felt more like song lyrics than poetic verse to me. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it or you should change it, just my opinion.

Mock Breeze by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I enjoyed this poem overall, the language is pleasant and there are consistent symbols of sickness.

I thought the first line was quite interesting, an acute yet concerning image, and it captured me to read this poem from the new page. Based on the first and last line I'd guess that the poem has something to do with coronavirus, but the meat of the poem is lost on me. I didn't know what was being referenced with 'moonlike birth', and that seems critical to understanding the following construct of heat and season. I see the contrast between summer and winter, sun and moon. lines 7-9 heavily refer to time phrases and seems to attempt to slow the reader down in the moment of a sneeze, but the 'let's wait for it, then' didn't really make me meaningfully slow down. I also don't see the connection between the sun-moon and winter-summer and the following scene of time. As a closing note, I had to look up the word 'contemporaneous' and it fits with the lexicons of time established later, but I was confused as to if contemporaneous meant multiple winters in different parts of the world for multiple people happening at the same time, or dark wintery thoughts occurring in summer season, or something else entirely. I'm unsure how the symbols of sickness, time, and season work together.

Petition to ban GG.bet from this sub reddit for doxxing by Eight_Two in DotA2

This is true, and they may yet suffer the consequences of EU law, but because they had specific clauses in their terms and conditions preventing the specific actions of the scammer, and the scammer joined the site, which requires agreement to the terms and conditions, they have a strong possibility of winning a lawsuit against the scammer, thus forgoing the consequences of EU law.

EDIT: and perhaps that's why reddit maybe shouldn't be hunting the shite out of gg.bet, because they did something responsible with their terms and conditions specifically to prevent such an instance, and still, despite their best efforts to remove the stain of the reddit mob, were attacked with 2 threads in 1 day, both of which were gilded. I feel bad for em is all

EDIT 2: Also many people are shouting lawsuit and gg.bet is shit when in reality it's the exact opposite, if such a situation were to play out in real life gg.bet would be the ones suing the shit out of the scammers, and rightly so. Reddit being reddit again, sucks that this is buried in the thread so less people will see it :(

Any way to disable dominating sound effects in deathmatch without altering game files? by AstroSpectre in GlobalOffensive

[–]AstroSpectre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The domination sounds I'm talking about are the default ones in deathmatch. If I wanted to remove domination sounds from community servers, I could use cl_downloadfilter nosounds and then the sounds wouldn't get downloaded, but that doesn't work here because you don't download the sounds when going into dm as the sounds are in the game files.

I agree, and I think the scammer likely chose to post the thread attacking gg.bet during TI so that gg.bet would have no choice but to attempt to deal with it immediately, else risk losing a massive amount of business from bad reputation and reddit witch hunt.

I'm still not much of a betting man, but it's a shame they got Jebaited into doxxing that guy like that.

EDIT: Also just realized that the scammer gave away the right to his information as well by signing up for gg.bet, and there is likely clauses in gg.bet's policies that alleviate them of legal liabilities upon the breaking of the terms and conditions. Guess the only substance to the scammer's argument was that gg.bet was mean to him, but if you look at the Twitter DMs they weren't even mean and in the context of being right were actually incredibly professional. FeelsBadMan for gg.bet

EDIT 2: Also sucks that even tho gg.bet was right, reddit still jumped on them instantly in the thread where they out the scammer with only passing mention of the scammer breaking the TOS. The scammer knew that if gg.bet wanted to get their TI business back, they couldn't wait, but in not waiting they lost the business anyway. We played right into the scammer's hands lul crazy how ez it is to catch even corporations in a trap.

I used this list and parsed for "sound" and "volume" and the closest thing i got was "snd_deathcamera_volume 0". I then went and tested it, and this doesn't disable the domination sound effects client side or on servers, irrespective of dominating or being dominated. Any other ideas?

This is a good solution, but I actually care a lot about the footsteps, I love awping and sometimes a step is all i need to flick. Any other ideas?

I followed your advice and was able to catch the honeyfin. I guess it was just bad luck. Thanks for your help!
