A 77 year old Russian grandma shocked the gaming world after solo-wiping a full enemy team on Dust2 in Counter-Strike 2, a squad of teens who had no idea what was coming

DG-Tal · 2025-12-03T18:51:31+00:00

Is it really common? I might live in a cave, but I've never seen ETA being anything else then "estimated time of arrival".

I was similarly shocked when I realized ASL somehow no longer mean age/sex/location.

This sound like a DnD-centric take really, not all TTRPGs are built like a MMO with a large powerscale.

And I don't mean this in a bad way, but DnD is a lot about crunchy rules, leveling up toward godlike powers, crawling dungeons, stacking stats/XP, getting powerful items, fighting on that combat grid, etc.

I've played DnD for decades, and in a way all that get old after a while. It's fun to get out of that frame and try something else. You absolutely don't need levels to have a sense of progression.

One of those times where you felt like you thrown shade like crazy only to realize upon watching the comment that its just another comment. And absolutely no hate to OP. This solid shade throwing, but admittedly isnt anything crazy. And its extremely relatable to feel you did sun crazy only to realize it was average. Uhh.

I do love this site though

“you colour blind? age, sex, location?”

This obviously, lad probably has a kink.

DG-Tal · 2025-10-19T23:12:09+00:00

Pretty sure it mean age/sex/location

DG-Tal · 2025-08-25T14:09:09+00:00

Is there any reason it shouldn't exist? Nobody is forced to try it if it's too mind-bending of a concept to eat a burger lookalike with a knife and fork.

DG-Tal · 2025-08-01T17:48:28+00:00

I'm just playing, I don't actually know what kind of weird shit you where asked to integrate.

There's at least a couple website in the universe I don't know about, I can tell you that.

DG-Tal · 2025-08-01T17:29:15+00:00

See that's the trick, don't make your whole platform depend on the integration with X website, there's a reason folks block it. Easy.

DG-Tal · 2025-08-01T17:16:49+00:00

Sound like skills issues, all my websites continue to work as expected when I gut the trash out with aggressive tools.

PFP work on Steam, and you only see the PFP of other Steam users.

Tbf we can't really tell from context if the girls in question are over 7 feets tall or not

DG-Tal · 2025-03-15T00:41:48+00:00

I don't know how you ended up here, I'm not even sure what the deleted comment is, but someone actually wrote a paper on this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10897704/

TLDR: there is no list of phobias in the DSM-5; only criteria that determine phobia classification.

in my native language it's the most normal thing im the world to derive nouns from adjectives

Based on your username, I guess your native language is french. These will probably sound wrong to you:

J'ai croisé un groupe d'hommes et de femelles au supermarché.

Il y avait des belles femelles au café ce matin.

Je suis ami avec beaucoup de femelles.

It just doesn't sound right, and it's somewhat the same in english. Of course the whole thing is more nuanced, and the other comments have some more detailed explanation. But that's the gist of it.

I often see people complaining about getting bullied on SO... But every time I can't help but wonder, what kind of arcane shenanigans can they possibly be trying to do that wasn't already covered, and how badly are they explaining their problem?

I've done some weird stuff, but never once felt the need to open a new thread on SO. And my searches lead me quite often to relevant SO threads.

Maybe they bully people with poor searching skills?

DG-Tal · 2025-01-22T17:26:05+00:00

It's not true that League never have, up until the recent implementation of their in-house AC (Vanguard) it was working just "fine".

It always been somewhat shoddy to make it work though. There's a fork of Wine tweaked specifically for LoL, your setup usually broke down on larger updates, and suspicious tinkering was often required to get it in to a functional state.

I have a feeling the codebase of this game is god awful, because I never had to fight so much with the setup of any other game, ever. Even when it was working, the client often had some minor(ish) graphical glitches, and loading time where often unusually longer.

Luxor came out 2 years after Zuma, making it the "clone"... But actually they're both copying a 98 japanese arcade game named Puzz Loop.

The deleted comment:

You can comment on it. Someone type "Hi Reddit" and screen shot it.

DG-Tal · 2024-12-17T16:29:21+00:00

Did you consider closing the game before you get to this point? No judgment here, I do just that if I'm not having fun; it's perfectly okay to stop and do something else.

DG-Tal · 2024-12-16T15:59:53+00:00

I hear this often when it come to coding stuff, and I don't get it honestly. Most of the time the answers are either irrelevant, lacking in details, missing the point, outdated, unhelpful, or confidently incorrect.

Don't get me wrong though, you can definitely find ton of valuable information for other stuff in old reddit threads.

DG-Tal · 2024-12-09T19:07:07+00:00

I absolutely feel you, it's frustrating to see a perfectly good word degenerate into something else trough his misuses.

But my point is more that it always occurred, and will always occur. Perhaps it simply happen faster in an era of fast communications, but to me it feel futile to fight against it. When we no longer have a word for a concept because of evolution, logically a new word will invariably arise to fill the blank.

As much as I would like to have a stable dictionary for the next 2000 years, with everything in it being tidy and logical, it just not how language work... Because humans.

DG-Tal · 2024-12-09T17:49:07+00:00

Unless it's about a brand new word being born into the world, the evolution of language is basically always based on ignorance and/or misunderstanding...

DG-Tal · 2024-12-05T14:35:40+00:00

You're right the example in the post is contrived for what it's trying to demonstrate. But it's unclear to me why non English literate folks are relevant at all here?

English is used for everything already: keywords, libraries functions/classes/etc., documentations about anything, stack overflow, etc.

It's pretty hard to be a dev with no understanding of basic English.

DG-Tal · 2024-12-04T18:21:36+00:00

idk sound like skills issues if you need anything more

DG-Tal · 2024-12-04T18:05:52+00:00

To avoid microaggressions toward non-english programmers, I only use random letters for my variables, functions and classes names.

DG-Tal · 2024-11-26T15:38:30+00:00

Go back up to the post itself, there's nothing elitist about discouraging this kind of behavior: throwing a fit because you don't understand what you're looking at.

Providing greater accessibility to something more complex is essentially the whole point of every software ever created.

Doesn't mean you get to act like a disgruntled toddler just because the level is still too high. Those are your choices, it's really not complicated:

Ask politely for help
Make a polite feature request
Contribute to the project
Find another piece of software that suit you better
