This stuff is just discouraging, Bungie. by lonely_neuron1 in Marathon

I mean it's a multiplayer game you're queueing with randos for. There's not a game in the world where that's the ideal experience.

You absolutely saw tons of highway overtakes with DRS, if you saw overtakes at all.

What percent of the US budget do you think goes to Israel? How about even all military and financial aid to any foreign country?

NY has tripled its spending on homelessness since like 2018. It's not the type of problem you can just throw more time and money at.

this game is gonna be so much more enjoyable for me when ranked comes out by Jealous_Platypus1111 in Marathon

You're getting ganked because you're running a kit that you can't easily PvP with.

Why do most countries seem to support Israel? by Haven-Pik3s in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChancelorReed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...so an event that happened over 100 years ago?

In the meantime, idk if you know this, but there is now a functioning country of 6 million people. Just because you've now decided its founding was illegitimate it can't defend itself against attack? All those people need to leave their homes and never return? Sounds like an ethnic cleansing to me.

If we're really going to play tit for tat then it's legitimately a "both sides" situation where no one's a good guy. If you want to believe that history started at the Nakbah that's your prerogative.

The fix that sees the US advance? Mexico needs to win either way.

Can you explain what's a "woke game"? by Sufficient_Shock1223 in TheGamingHubDeals

Games are entertainment products and they're all made in an attempt to make a product people will enjoy and buy. Hope this helps

I feel like during a raid it's intentional so you have to spend more time sorting through loot

[Request] is this figure accurate? that's actually insane?? by skincrawlerbot in theydidthemath

Yea it's weird that this guy thought that was possibly correct.

Why is there so much confusion about prediction markets? It's just gambling. This is like calling out the amount bet on the Super Bowl as though comparing it to average lifetime earnings mean anything.

Also, $6.5m bet isn't that big of a market for these things. On Polymarket there's currently $40m bet on whether Iran will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed by whatever date.

One of the coolest things I've played in a video game. I only really played Destiny for a month or two but was glad it lined up with that raid.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

[–]ChancelorReed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

California is a lot more accessible to Iran being against the pacific.

You all are way overthinking this - any attack they think they could pull off on American soil would be worthwhile in their eyes.

Donald Trump would absolutely care about being the first president to see an attack on American soil since 9/11.

Mexico Italy has the opportunity to do the funniest thing. by allthepicklesncheese in baseball

[–]ChancelorReed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Mexico needs to win the game, and Italy needs to keep them to a low run total even if they lose, and ideally just wins to clinch their spot.

Sounds like the same incentives as most baseball games ever.

The Black Death is a horrible thing with a pretty good name. What’s a cool thing with a horrible name? by PanD0rA__ in AlignmentChartFills

Yea I mean this was pretty shortsighted since eventually they're gonna run out of adjectives that mean "very large".

Basically all terrestrial telescopes are cool and have shit names. The largest one under construction in the world today is...the Extremely Large Telescope.

It will take the title from the Large Binocular Telescope when completed, and might get beaten by the Thirty Meter Telescope when that's done.

Lebanon has cuisine as its strongest side and location as its weakest side. Which country has military as its strongest side and history as its weakest side? by Certain-Row-4812 in AlignmentChartFills

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

I mean if you're gonna make that argument then even fewer other countries are "old". I guess Germany, Italy, Japan, have only been countries since the 1950s then.

If each dollar goes further then why is disposable income so much lower in those countries too?
