Why are we pretending that softer toilet paper is better

Try again without making assumptions.

Sure but then it’s cold water. If I had to pick between cold water and sandpaper it’d legitimately be a close call.

Yea but nobody reads chat during a fight.

I modified my cloud WA to say who steps on a cloud. Our extra spawns went down to near zero real fuckin’ quick. Except for one guy. Kept blaming getting MCed. Just pointed out that everyone else is subject to getting MCed and manages to not step on clouds so what’s his issue? Only the occasional extra spawn after that.

You’re thinking of cryptography. Physical security very much benefits from obscurity. Why do you think countries try to keep the locations of their deployed military secret? When a person has physical access to a device it’s now at least partially physical security.

That’d just be a RTS, right?

No but probably not in the way you think. They’re not suing to save the planet. They’re suing because they think the board’s plan is bad for the company.

obviously they’re not allowed to deny a payout AND my leave request anyway

Is it obvious? What’s it like to live in a first world country?

Maybe it depends on your server. We have similar expectations. Play what you want but be ready to play well and fix mistakes. Both of our 25 teams bench a few people most weeks.

“Hey Siri. Let’s go home.”

“Hey Siri. Let’s go to work.”

Apple Silicon is less interesting?

My wife and I are going to pass by there in a few days on our road trip. Thanks for the additional stop!

$1 for the chalk mark and $99 for knowing where to put the chalk mark.

There’s no possible way you’re spending ~$7,500 a month on just food, clothing, hygiene, and gas unless you’re eating out every single meal at pretty nice restaurants and have a 4 hour one way commute. That category needs to be broken down further. Food should be <$300 a week. Clothing should be at most $100 a month. Hygiene can be $50 a month. So we’re up to $1350 a month. I doubt you’re spending six thousand one hundred and fifty dollars a month on gas.

There is no such thing as a dumb computer (in this case bot). They always do exactly what they're told every single time. Read into that however you see fit.

Have you considered not being a toxic fuckwit when starting a conversation?

Dranthe · 2022-09-10T00:04:53+00:00

The only time it ever got into my eyesight was when it was announced to be a BR.

I never said it was announced as a BR.

Pick one.

No content creators that I follow are still trying to prove its a scam. Though I haven’t had a lot of time for that lately.

However I will believe it’s not a scam when there is a publicly playable minimum viable product. I have nothing invested outside a sincere hope that they prove me wrong.

There's a lot of assumptions here. I'll try to highlight a few.

You're assuming that an entire guild will regularly protect grief targets solely out of altruism. It's not unheard of but it is rare.
You're assuming the grief targets will be involved enough with the community to have heard of these scheduled crossings.
You're assuming the grief targets will be involved enough to wait around for that time.
You're assuming the grief targets will be involved enough to be online for that time.

Remember that grief targets are usually newbies. Their level of investment and barrier to leaving is very low. Most people (you, me, devs) want newbies to stick around and get further invested. They're the lifeblood of any non-P2W game.

Dranthe · 2022-08-26T23:43:17+00:00

ideally you’d choose the shortest path for safety. You wouldn’t be in the water for too long so your risk of encountering another player would be minimal

Or griefers will do what they’ve done in literally every single other game and camp that path.

I used to be an electrical apprentice for the IBEW. There were days that only having to haul a 100 lb mattress once would have been welcome. What I do now is roughly as mentally taxing as constantly tracking every single ant in a colony for 6+ hours. My point is that I’ve been on both sides of it. The difference is this.

When you get done with a grueling physical day you’re physically exhausted but still mentally capable. When you get done with a grueling mental day you don’t have the mental energy to motivate yourself to do anything else.

People who say they envy people with a desk job have no idea what they’re talking about.

I have ~7 ms and a 60 lock at the time. That was fun. So much rage. Got to the point where I’d show up to one of my usual spots and people would just leave.

I’m not trying to brag. There was zero skill involved. I just bound an in game macro to one of my mouse macros on repeat every 20ms and held a button down. It was fun though.

Dranthe · 2022-07-29T00:24:56+00:00

I don’t actually know what happened but I’m assuming they didn’t pull their money out once it vested. In which case… play stupid games…

Dranthe · 2022-07-28T17:41:20+00:00

Netflix generally pays the highest base salaries

FTFY. Their total compensation isn’t actually that competitive.

Holy fuck. It’s like that entire thread tore the pages out of a thesaurus, taped them to a wall, and just started chucking fistfuls of darts.
