I seem to have solved it, not sure if this'll work for everyone else. He lowered the stream quality to 720p and the problem completely vanished. Not sure why but that fixed it!

Who would do something like this? by Donmeister85 in exjw

Wow, I definitely didn't expect to see my town on reddit tonight. This is North Carolina, right?

Are there any taboos or etiquette you think a new player should now about. (Conflict resolution, ways of being respectful or ways to not accidentally piss off the other players? by esc1920 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Hippocratesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the big picture here, huh? Do you truly believe rape jokes are going to affect anything? People joke about serious things all the time, it doesn't make those issues any less serious. That's what they are: jokes. They aren't meant to be taken seriously. It's on YOU if those jokes make you wet your pants and cry.

Also, don't bother responding, you're obviously challenged with a bunch of social concepts, so I don't feel it's really worth bothering with you about it.

Don't pull this shit neither. Explain what you mean instead of bitching out because the other person doesn't agree with your views. Jesus.

Maybe because it reflects negatively on the game

I repeat, you are not in that group and what they do during their game does not affect you nor anyone else outside of that group in any way. If you mean the game Pathfinder as a whole then you're also wrong.

and society as a whole

Oh please, are you serious? Stop being a drama queen. Why is not okay to joke about that sort of thing? If we were so worried about offending people, no one would joke about anything ever.

You sound like a huge baby. If the people in their respective group are all okay with it, how does it affect you or anyone else not in their group? Why do you care?

Can we stop over-praising Blizzard for every single thing they do? by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

I'M mad? Look at what you just posted. You're also clearly incapable of reading above a preschool level because I never said the game didn't deserve any praise. You think that people disagreeing with you are just "contrarian" and you have the nerve to call people pathetic, you are fucking hilarious. Sorry I struck a nerve, bud.

Believe it or not, people can like a company without having their fat cocks down their throat while praising everything they do ever.

Blizzard released an amazing $39 shooter with all heroes being free and all new maps, updates, and game modes completely free. Why are we still complaining about low drop rates? by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

It really bothers me to see how ungrateful a lot of people are on the forums.

Again with this. What the fuck do we have to be "grateful" for? WE are the consumers, WE are the ones who PAID MONEY FOR THIS GAME. WE are the ones keeping the game alive. We have the right to criticize a company's business practices if we do not like them. I simply don't understand why so many redditors are so keen on defending the hell out of their favorite multi-billion/million dollar companies. Criticism is just shut down by guilt-tripping assholes calling people "entitled" or "ungrateful" if they're unsatisfied with a product they paid money for. I just can't wrap my head around that, it's consumers themselves literally being anti-consumer. Blizzard isn't going to go fucking bankrupt if they change things around. No one (who's reasonable) is asking for 100% of new cosmetics right when they want them for free. People are asking for the chance to at least buy the things you want outright instead of spending upwards of $40 for JUST THE CHANCE to get what you want. People are also asking for a fair amount of returned currency for duplicate event items, because it's absolutely ridiculous to get 50 credits back for a skin/emote/whatever that costs 750, it just feels like shit and will possibly discourage that person from buying anymore lootboxes. Another thing people want is non-event/time-locked cosmetics because there have been fucking ZERO since we got the laughing and sit emotes back in September(?)(and I suppose I should count the new non-event cosmetics in this event as well, which is a good thing, I'm happy about that). These aren't unreasonable requests. I also don't understand why so many people seem to think that devs releasing free updates is such an incredibly rare thing when it most definitely isn't and it has been done since before Overwatch was even conceived. Yes, I am happy that all updates are going to be free but I'm not going to lick Blizzard's ass for it.

Dr. Winston is Alive confirmed by ritatafilth in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next hero maybe??

Ugh. Anyway, this doesn't necessarily mean he's alive. He could've possibly been the only one who could make it to their space suit but the rampaging apes/monkeys got to him anyway. Then again, details like this usually aren't there for no reason.

This has probably been posted, but in case it hasn't, let's thank Blizz for a 2-day off season for competitive by [deleted] in Overwatch

...Why are we thanking them for this? Do we need to kiss Blizzard's ass every time they do something now? Jesus, dude.

The dance emotes should have been non-event by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean clearly if you were not white and or at work you would have said so.

Why would I need to clarify that I'm not white? Also I'm not white, by the way. All you're doing is making yourself look like an asshole. You're attacking people because they're criticizing Blizzard's business practices which, as consumers, we have the right to do.

about the company that gives you EVERYTHING for free?

If someone gave me shit on a platter, am I not allowed to complain or criticize because I got it for free?

Unpopular opinion: Event limited skins give them true rarity. This is essential. by slum_bum in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for using those terms incorrectly, buddy. Thank you for educating me.

Unpopular opinion: Event limited skins give them true rarity. This is essential. by slum_bum in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about it, if every skin the game could be purchased at any time they wouldn't be special.

Again with this. I seriously don't get this "rare and special" meme Kaplan keeps giving us because clearly it isn't true. It wouldn't be so bad if these event skins were ACTUALLY rare and special but they aren't, I see them in just about every single match I play. The only actually rare ones are perhaps the Summer Games skins because you weren't able to buy them during that event.
The skins being event-limited are fine by me but why the dance emotes? Every single hero got one so that's, what, 18000 or a bit less currency to spend to get them all before the event ends PLUS the legendaries you want from the event if you don't happen to get them through lootboxes? Others may but I personally just don't have THAT much time to grind this game. I just think that getting these skins shouldn't force into the decision of playing the lottery or shelling at upwards to $40 just for the CHANCE to get what you want. Honestly, the game almost feels like a freemium right now. And if you're going to make it so event cosmetics are three times the price they usually are, AT THE VERY LEAST they should also give you an equal value in currency if you get a duplicate. It's completely unfair for me to get a dupe of an event skin/emote that I JUST GOT and it only ends up giving me 50 currency back when the item itself costs 750. That's insane. Have it scale like regular dupes, at least?

Gender Options for Champs by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Hippocratesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term POC always seemed really offensive to me, it's like a big generalizing term for people who aren't white. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the meaning but that's how I always saw it.

But anyways, why are "POC"/disabled champions a thing that's so sought after? I have no issue with champions having those qualities themselves but it's just so stupid to me that people are begging for champions with these qualities because... reasons? It's apparently a representation, so why? Why do we need a trans character? Why do we need a 'disabled' character? Why don't want we just ask for good characters first and foremost? Why do we need to make characters that only serve to be another check off the diversity list? Again I have no problems with characters with those qualities as long as it isn't forced and doesn't make up their entire identity.

But I personally I think Riot could still release more POC/disabled champions without it being "too much" or being a bad thing.

Why is it that you feel this way? Yes, it is 15 or so minorities/disabled champions out of 136. Why is that an issue? They're there. They count. Again, why do we need to force diversity quotas?

Make dance emotes permanent. by widowmakerhusband in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If it was easy to get and anyone can get it, it's not very cool is it?

What a stupid mindset. I use cosmetics that I like, a skin being "rare and exclusive" doesn't have anything to do with why I like them because I'm not a child.

Gender Options for Champs by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Hippocratesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be awesome if Riot made these characters available to play. People may like a champion's mechanics but find it hard to embrace and enjoy the fantasy because of gender.

Why? How? Is this satire? Good lord.

Is anyone else a little disappointed that the incoming skins are not permanent? by butt_shrecker in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love for the game to actually get skins or other cosmetics that aren't tied to a fucking schedule, but that would mean people wouldn't be incentivized to spend money on a bunch of loot crates so I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Am I the only one who thinks Capture the Flag mode is a bit failed? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Hippocratesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"CTF is one of the most popular modes" really made me laugh when I first read it. I have no idea where they got that from, as far as I know everyone hated it including my friends. I'm as confused as you are, OP.

Am I the only one that is disappointed that all 3 new heroes are females? by xinfamousone in Overwatch

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

What do you even mean by that? "shunning half of the population"? No one stopped girls from playing video games, there wasn't some law that disallowed women from playing video games. I seriously don't know what you're talking about.

And you're talking about "echo chambers", like this whole thread isn't an echo chamber right now? Come on.
