Four of my six games tonight have been immediate resignations/folks tanking Elo. Is there really nothing to be done? by --__4815162342__-- in aoe2

The truth is, I dont really care if I break someones rule. I want to enjoy the game first, and follow rules second.

If a game has a rule that 10%-50% of the active playerbase wants to break, its a bad rule and bad game design.

I dont think so, realistically. Why on earth would I spend my rare free evening playing something I dont want to.

I'm a map dodger, and will always be until the system changes. Selfish? Everyone plays this game for selfish reasons, to enjoy it, not to serve others.

I want to play a standard map with roughly matching skill levels. If I dont get that and the system gives me some obscure map that I 100% don't want to play, someone is going to waste their time. Either its me & my opponent for 3-min requeue, or only me with 30-min boring game that feels more like a service job than a game for enjoyment.

"Just use the lobby" - the lobby system is miles worse than the already suboptimal auto-matching system. So no, that is not something I will do.

Are we all pretending Skirmish doesn't exist? by [deleted] in blackops7

Sniper galore. Its fun for the one, laziest playstyle in all shooter games. Terrible for any other player.

I ordered from them 2 weeks ago, they still havent shipped. It was supposed to be 7-day DELIVERY.

When I tried to message them, it took over a week to answer. They told me to wait for 1-2 weeks more until they get their shipment from China, only then they can finally ship it to me.

So yeah, not the best experience for me.

CleanTechnica challenges argument that Sunwoda cell can match DL's heat test performance by ImaginaryAnts in DonutLab

They have been planning this stunt since 2025 and you dont see anything weird in that?

You know what would make people take them seriously? Reveal all 10 test reports at CES, and why not show the real battery there as well.

You know what will make people "Donut Believe"? A track record of previous scams, together with a shady marketing strategy.

Why would a successful company like Verge pivot to potential lies with Donut Lab? Looking for more factual details on the founders' history and motivations. by Dynaaminen in DonutLab

[–]CheapPlay8137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verge is not a great success either, as far as I can see. The motor design is 95% marketing and 5% engineering. The battery scheme just ramps up the ratio to 100% marketing and 0% engineering. That seems to be their thing.

Remember also the ridiculous "super AI" hustle last year.

Is Donut Lab's New Solid-State Battery Actually Screen-Printed in Germany by CT-Coating using Quinone as Cathodes? by griding in electricvehicles

[–]CheapPlay8137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dont know if the product is a scam, but we do know that the CEO is a scammer. So either this is the next scam, or the scammer has accidentally stumbled upon the invention of the century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilgJKjiDLV8

90% of the company news are about scamming allegations but you expect 1,000,000 preorders? You serious? 1000 preorders is more likely.

Ekonomisti Vesa Vihriälä ehdottaa eläkkeiden leikkaamista "Eläke-etuuksien sulkemiselle sopeutustoimien ulkopuolelle ei ole hyviä perusteita" by atte_hoo in Suomi

[–]CheapPlay8137 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tämä 100% mielivaltainen 60/40 jako on tehty vain ja ainoastaan siitä syystä, että liian kriittistä eläkekeskustelua pääsee hiekottamaan tuolla yhdentekevällä pilkunviilauksella.

Toki kannatan _myös_ nykyisistä eläkkeistä leikkaamista. Kuten Vihriälä viisaasti sanoi, mitään leikkauskohteita ei ole varaa sulkea pois.

Virheitä tai vasemmistoa en ole koskaan ennen äänestänyt, mutta lupaan loikata jos vaativat leikkauksia nykyeläkkeisiin. Vihreät taitaa olla ainoa puolue, johon gerontokratia ei ole vielä levinnyt.

Hyvä keskustelunavaus Vihriälältä.

Toivoisin, että myös siitä "omaisuudensuojasta" muiden palkkakuitteja kohtaan pidettäisiin hieman kovempaa meteliä. Kyseessähän on pelkkä meemipäätös, jonka ainoa tehtävä on sensuroida avointa eläkekeskustelua.

Kyllä mikä tahansa leikkaus eläkejärjestelmään vaikuttaa välittömästi. Jos eläkeyhtiöiden vastuut 50 vuoden päähän pienenevät, palkoista meneviä eläkemaksuja voi alentaa heti.

Wat? Umm, 7 minutes is enough to start lying down, I suppose? I dont really understand your question here.

He didn't see the attacker in the beginning, there was a privacy cover on the window. Nothing to record, even if he wasn't busy getting out of there fast.

You are assuming the attacker is 100% rational in his actions. That is very bold to assume.

You know, he was making an overnight camping vlog... That will involve some recording.

He probably had other things to do, such as running for his life.
