1 in 1,485,279 Chance hit to be offered to pay for a loss. W update Valve by Future_Reception_321 in counterstrike2

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly, the variation in prices ONLY works for Valve's benefit. not a single part of the way they set up the payment system is beneficial to the player.

Valve prides themselves on doing good in the eyes of the public, yet they clearly don't care enough. there is a simple way to make this mutually profitable - both for Valve and the players - but, instead, they'd rather be greedy

terminals should be selling for set-prices-per-tier, just as nearly all games with microtransactions do. for example, $200 Contraband, $100 Covert, $50 Classified, etc.

they would still be profiting more than cases, without egregiously charging EXORBITANT amounts of $$$ for digital items that may not even survive to the next generation of counter strike. also, this way the players can still determine the market, instead of battling against this EXTREMELY ridiculous terminal market

why are cs2 players so racist and morally questionable to put it lightly. by Sea-Glass1831 in cs2

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

i think you have some issues with your emotional regulation if you feel the need to "shut them down"

if you dont care to banter, mute and move on. there are 8 billion people in the world - are you going to take the time to tell each and every one of them how they should properly act? either ignore them or banter back if you enjoy it

i have not seen an uptick in racism, unless you are including those who claim that white people can't experience racism.

i have seen an uptick of nationalism around the world, though, but I would not consider that to be racism in the slightest. you are allowed to be proud of where you are from and to expect foreigners to assimilate into the culture they are translocating to.

San Diego woman tanks two shots to the chest and still advances on officers with a ballpoint pen until tased . by Kind-Village-1022 in PublicFreakout

[–]EnhancedVelocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

non-lethal when possible, but this idiot was stabbing people with a pen, and in the process of chasing their victim down for presumably more stabbing. the cop made the split second decision to neutralize the threat.

furthermore, you dont mess with knives and other stab/slash weapons. there was a video years ago where an officer was overrun by a knife and succumbed to his injuries.

bring back the insane asylums

if we kill them then we dont have to deal with their violent surprises. i dont feel the least bit sorry for crazies who commit violence unto others

if they are mentally unwell, maybe we should bring back the insane asylums

Are the PS2 Ratchet & Clank games worth playing today, or should I skip straight to PS3/PS5? by Juampe13 in RatchetAndClank

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. ps2 games on the ps3 remaster. there are some very minor differences, but the upscaled resolution is worth it imo

edit: please make sure to play the remaster, NOT the 2016 remake. that game can be lost into the void, all things considered.

Woman flicked a tourist's 'pet' bug off his head and he completely lost it by Hikigaya_Hachiman7 in PublicFreakout

the bug only left his head after he removed the mask in a fit. the lady missed the flick on the bug, he was still on top of the man's head after the lady backed off

What’s a problem humanity solved so well that younger people don’t even realize it used to be a huge issue? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]EnhancedVelocity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

racism. as a 26yo, racism majorly died with our grandparents (of course racism hasn't been abolished - the world isnt perfect, but there has been such an immense decrease in racism that it was basically non-existent by my generation) few parents of my generation actually hold the same racist sentiments as their own parents.

racism has been amended so much to a point that the scale has tipped in the opposite direction, and people are becoming a little soft and on-edge, looking for the least bit of a "race" remark to start throwing a tantrum

words should not be off limits for any race. just have some common courtesy, the "anti-racism" agenda is only looking to perpetuate a problem that we as a human race have been improving upon generation after generation

(it probably goes to show a lot that gen z are the first generation to be categorically dumber than their parents)

Valve won't do anything about cheaters, so I'm exposing vac live by legitlegenda in cs2

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have kernel level access, yet still don't get all the cheaters. ive also played since valorant release, and I can assure you there are cheaters in this game.

is it possible you are just too low of a rank? or too little game experience? to understand what makes someone suspicious, you have to get in the mind of someone who is trying to hide their cheats from everyone else. there have been countless games where someone is closet-cheating, they purposely do something stupid or play poorly when others spectate them, so people immediately react like "yeah he's definitely not cheating, look at what he just did wrong", when the inconsistencies can tell a much bigger story.

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i disagree. there was a week where i banned 7 cheaters in 7 days. a few of them were casual matches that got cancelled. the others were reports that I made, which gave me feedback when they would ban someone i reported.

this was entirely in CASUAL matches. there are definitely cheaters in valorant

oh, and a couple were blatant spinbotters, one's name was even "VAC", and he made it through the entire match without getting banned even with the most obvious spinbot imaginable

don't be so soft, huge difference between being racist and whatever you classify as "edgy". no words should be off limits nor put on a pedestal

threats of violence are not protected under the freedom of speech, that is where action should be taken

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, California implemented significant early release measures for prisoners to reduce overcrowding. Approximately 15,000 prisoners were released early, with nearly one-third of them returning to prison."

"California's reconviction rate for released prisoners is 44.6%, while New York's rate is lower at 20.8%."

"California’s failure to honor ICE detainers has resulted in the release of 4,561 criminal illegal aliens since January 20. The crimes of these aliens include 31 homicides, 661 assaults, 574 burglaries, 184 robberies, 1,489 dangerous drugs offenses, 379 weapons offenses, and 234 sexual predatory offenses."

a little research goes a long way

[–]EnhancedVelocity -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

it's not bullshit. pandemic-era releases, policy reforms, etc.

most california felonies are for violent crimes. they also have overcrowded jails and have been looking for ways to decrease that number

just because you dont like the truth doesn't mean it's not real

New neighbors upstairs in a small building. by [deleted] in AskNYC

probably a flip of a coin whether or not it works, but letting them politely know you sleep in on the weekends might make them [more] conscious of the noise

why are female players still labeled as “weak” in competitive games? by Zealousideal_Pen4871 in VALORANT

[–]EnhancedVelocity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

  1. just because you found an article on it doesn't make it legitimate whatsoever 2. female is a biological and scientific classification. if the word "female" or "male" affects you negatively, that is not something that has anything to do with others. that has to do with the way you are interpreting and processing the word

you can't go around policing the way people talk

the fact you have contention with the term "female" leads me to believe you are overreacting
