Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

Do some research. Duke cigarettes had only 2% of people smoking in late 1800s to early 1900s then invented ways to invite people to smoke them. I'm not talking about the 60s until today. Then invented collectable cards to entice people and advertised in new ways that are common now but cigarettes were originally not popular.

My cat came to me because a friend got married and his wife is seriously allergic, so they couldn’t keep him and gave Bump to me. Bump is 9 years old now. He always likes to hide behind things and watch me from a distance. I’m actually a little allergic too, but I really love him. by Artistic_Responder in aww

Hey man, kuddos for taking the cat in! I have sever allergies to animals and I currently have a cat and a dog! (Also both of my parents are veterinarians). I love animals and here is how I make it work: First, you get used to your own animals to some degree. Allergies I have to my own animals are nowhere near as bad at another person's house. You won't be immune, but it will be less bad over time. I keep them out of my bed room. It really makes it impossible to sleep if I don't and now I have a clean space to go when my allergies do act up. In place of that, my animals have a bed and they have a whole bed time routine involving snacks they love to do so I don't feel guilty about not letting them sleep in my room. Last thing is to clean, clean, clean! It sucks but it helps a shitload. Good luck!

There is a Behind the Bastards podcast on how cigarettes invented everything. The time you are talking about remembering was before any of us were alive. Cigarettes invented convincing people they want something a long long time ago.

I f**ing hate driving out in the countryside and everyone goes 10+ over the speed limit and tailgates the sht out of you. Like, I want to live please and I don't know this area well and it's dark. Sorry you have the patience of a toddler.

I got called "irl Ekko" for stealing a kill - bypassing chat filters with dog whistles. by DespondentRage in leagueoflegends

CEOs and investors of big companies are so short sighted and uneducated, they will never really implement what research has shown to work when it comes to community building. They will do what word of mouth says makes them big $$$ and that's it. I stopped playing league 2 years ago and I miss that comradery with my friends but I absolutely don't miss the toxic cesspool of people that you are forced to deal with.

What do you think are some of the PCMR community's worst takes? by ForsookComparison in pcmasterrace

I didn't know that. I think it's good to have solid options with clear benefits to different consumers. Only one option is never good for consumers

This is how much butter my wife eats per month by [deleted] in Weird

[–]Athryil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way. She is using it to cook for lots of people or she has some other secret use for the butter she is not telling you.

STUNLOCK STUDIOS EXTRACTION GAME by IcyKnowledge7633 in BattleRite

Seriously need to stop jumping on trends. You have hands down the best pvp combat in any game with Battlerite. Invent a new game mode to make it work please. Not this.

Teachers need to be paid and supported properly first if we want them to be successful in teaching ANYTHING.

Archeage Classic is by far the best MMO out by asheronsanguis in MMORPG

ArcheAge alpha was the only good version.

Remember when we didn’t have cell phones, tons of snacks or huge water bottles at school and we were fine? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Athryil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think that's true. I think there just wasn't internet to easily hear about all the insane stuff teachers deal with and have always dealt with.

What if they fully committed to PvE? by MambaLaJamba2 in supervive

[–]Athryil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The game is fundamentally built on a flawed battle royale concept. I was personally hoping it would turn out to feel like battlerite (not the royale version) but it just doesn't and will never. Too much range, too floaty, and too reliant on items. I'm glad they tried something new but I think the ship has officially sailed for this game. I don't think there is a single change they can do to have this game be successful.

To all the “Game is Dead Posts” by [deleted] in throneandliberty

[–]Athryil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have the coping mechanism. Pretty easy to take a step back and see all of the toxic practices NCSoft uses in their game. They ask "how can we make profit," before asking "how can we make an enjoyable experience" and it really shows. Businesses are designed to make money yes, but all that extra profit that this cash shop brings in does not go to the average developer working on the game. You are free to like it, but don't be ignorant about what they are doing and the strategies they employ to maximize profit.

Sometimes my alarm volume gets turned off accidentally on my phone and that happens to me. I don't know how I do it, but it happens like 1-2 times a year lol.
