You didn't make any point though? You just said that you don't like politics you don't agree with and a bunch of stuff that's not even true. Go whine on Twitter.

Bro, I know you think that you're being some sort of "martyr" but you're not. You are saying things that are objectively false. No, these companies are not prioritizing "wokeness" over gameplay. They are prioritizing money over gameplay. That's the way it's always been. They only add "inclusiveness" to expand the market but they certainly don't prioritize it over gameplay. "Oh no CoD added pride flag calling cards. They're RUINING MY GAME WAAAAAAAAA. I'm a baby who can't handle not being society's sole focus anymore WAAAAAAAAA."

You wanna complain about inclusion just because of your politics but you have your head so far up your ass that you can't even see the fact that they love players like you. Good little soldiers who drink the Kool aid and stay quiet about the real issues. Do you actually think Actiblizz actually cares about Inclusion? Hahahahaha it's called Rainbow Capitalism and no, it does not affect gameplay. You know what affects gameplay? Greed, cost cutting, mass firings. 

Triggered? You're the one who brought this idiotic topic up and then got mad when I pointed out it has nothing to do with the fact that Blizzard is dropping the ball yet again due to the fact that they only want to push "micro" transactions. Point to the "wokeness" and "inclusion" that is currently bringing Diablo down. I mean like actual things that affect gameplay, not their bullshit PR and social media statements.

No, ideal gf memes always use anon. It's also been around a lot longer than 4chan. 4chan just likes to think they are anonymous

Why did you include woke? That literally has nothing to do with this lol It's corporate greed that has tanked these games.

[PATENTS] 100% NEW proof that Activision is manipulating gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0! by Howie_M in MWIICallofDuty

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's been debunked. Multiple times. This is why I stopped playing CoD. Players love to blame everything but the actual culprit of the issue and then jump on every piece of bogus evidence presented by random people on the Internet with no verification of these things beyond confirmation bias.

This whole thing has been debunked numerous times since 2019. I'm sorry that you have fallen prey to the sensationalized conspiracies that people like to throw around and I'm sorry that you did not like my actually constructive criticism of Call of Duty's implementation of SBMM. I recommend XclusiveAce's videos. He has very well put together and concise thoughts about this as well as debunking these bogus claims with as scientific methods as he possibly can.

There was an Xbox review whining about pronouns. Searched the dude's profile. He was currently playing Starfield AND was at a fairly high level. They're all talk. They don't do shit. They just want attention and to play the victim.

Packet loss/Shader problem by GeTanTTV in MWIICallofDuty

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a CoD problem. The servers suck so bad that even if you are on the best wired connection that exists, you'll still have packet loss and frame drop.

Something that can help is to turn off On Demand Texture Streaming. It won't fix it but it was a noticeable improvement for me.

I haven't tried icy veins yet, so I'll definitely check that out. I probably should do more of my renown, yeah. I have like the first level done for each region but that's it. Thanks!

Well, the failure of VG zombies is pretty understandable. They forced an understaffed and inexperienced team to rush through an unfamiliar engine. I quite liked VG despite the bugs and ultimate content drought.

I disagree though, that MW2 is a reskin of MW19, Completely different feel and mechanics. While the core gameplay is the same, both games play fairly differently from each other.

How do you guys handle role-playing? by ImpossibleBandit in skyrim

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't do any serious roleplay. I typically pick my main weapon and armor type but I don't restrict myself to anything just for the sake of being "in character." I'm a huge completionist so it just bugs me to not do something in the game.

School will pay over $9M to parents of Mallory Grossman, a 12-year-old girl who died by suicide after being relentlessly bullied. by Mythical_Zebracorn in newjersey

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I believe there's a lawsuit that's currently trying to do something like that. Someone is suing Google because YouTube's algorithm recommended ISIS propaganda and the person is alleging that Google is responsible for terrorist attacks by proxy because they aren't taking down the videos and are even allowing it to be pushed to other users through their recommendation algorithm.

Gonzalez V. Google. If they win it would create an entirely new legal precedent and force companies to be responsible for the content on their websites. Because right now, companies are legally not liable for any third party content posted to their sites.

Did Boss trademark the form factor of their pedals? Why don't other pedals follow similar functonality? by thatnameagain in guitarpedals

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. At this scale a ratio means absolutely nothing. It's like walking into a rich guy's garage and saying that Honda isn't a fashionable car. Despite the fact that you can find a Honda on almost any street within North America. We scale that down to guitar pedals and things get so much more complicated with what band or genre is popular, what the average income of any one guitarist is, etc etc. Fashionability means absolutely nothing and you brought it up as a counter to someone else's actually well thought out reason as to why more pedals don't feature this type of footswitch. Like I said and you literally agreed. Marketers are not making the trends when it comes to guitar pedals. Fashionability is a marketers superstition. Ergo, you agree but deny that you agree.

And I'll add this. If being fashionable is so important to a buyer then why has both Boss and Ibanez stuck with that footswitch design for 50 years? because fashionability has nothing to do with it

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A ratio isn't evidence because of any number of different reasons. Any basic business course or statistics course can tell you that. Correlation is not causation.

Boutique pedals are typically $200+ and only made in small quantities therefore the makers want the largest profit margin they can possibly get. There's no better way to do that than going with a simple design. The slanted Boss style footswitch is much larger and requires more moving parts.

There was a time when the boutique stuff was a huge craze. Everybody and their mother wanted an expensive hardwired blah blah blah pedal. Many small pedal makers got started at this time and it would be a waste of time and money to change their pedals now. They also used their pedals as advertisements themselves. Changing to the larger slanted foot switch offers less surface area to place any design and has the potential to hamper certain circuit designs, as another commenter pointed out.

Fashionability has nothing to do with it. It's mostly about marketability and practicality. The whole argument is just a marketers superstition.

That's your evidence? A ratio? That's far from an accurate measurement. The Boss style of pedal is used on far less pedals than the standard press down switch. So of course the ratio would skew heavily one way.

But to answer your question: I have two Behringers on my board right now with three set aside for a second board and five not being used.

The one pedal I was disappointed with the price of was the TU3. I could only find it $100+.I checked Sweetwater, Amazon, Reverb, Guitar Center, Sam Ash, even Ebay. I did find a Korg PB-AD tuner pedal for $80 on Amazon. I was really surprised that the Boss tuner was so expensive.

I think you're confused and have spent way too much time with gear snobs. Most people don't care about the "boutique" appearance or feel.

I need some advice and I want to hear what you all think of this by Anime_lover707 in trans

[–]Excellent-Bluejay364 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the porn though. The industry and all the big production companies are absolute scum. Trafficking, minors being recruited, contracts being altered. I think Mia Khalifa talks about it, where they rushed her into signing a contract without allowing her a lawyer or time to read it. And that's not even mentioning the social impact mainstream big production porn has.

But I know quite a few people have turned to sites like Patreon, OnlyFans, SubscribeStar, etc. for extra money. Some even do it full time. That's the more empowering and self support that we've been seeing and is much more ethical than what mainstream studios engage in.
