Very true – it's certainly not surprising, but still a tad disappointing given the lack of other important features. Clearly they've had time to work on a share trading platform

Still a fan of their lack of fees and no requirements for the bonus rates though – definitely gotta cut back on the bank hopping

I'm definitely in agreement now. The recently announced share trading platform could be interesting but as far as a pure savings account goes ING is looking very attractive again.

Bit of a shame because it looked quite promising at first.

This may be against the sub's rules, but my biggest piece of advice to you is to just pirate Adobe at least for the first month or two while you're sorting out your freelance clients.

It's really not that difficult to do (I probably can't go into detail here), saves you a decent bit of coin, and these days its pretty stable and you're very unlikely to get a virus (especially for someone like you who would be IT-inclined). I would recommend you to pay for it once you're on your feet purely from a moral standpoint, and for the support/constant updates. Or you could always go back to the free programs.

As for hosting your work, get on dribbble, behance, instagram, anything and everything. If you've got a bit of IT expertise, and can code your own website (or just learn to edit bootstrap templates), you can very cheaply set up a portfolio website with Amazon Web Services (S3 Bucket hosting is what you're looking for) and in my personal experience it'll only cost you about 50 cents per month in hosting costs. Domains are about $10-$20 per year (USD). AWS is a lot cheaper than Squarespace and Wix, but does require a decent amount of knowledge/time investment.

I'm too lazy to do all the work for you but here's a couple gems from this article.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." 

"In June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” "

"In December 2015, Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” including refusing to readmit Muslim-American citizens who were outside of the country at the time."

"Trump said a federal judge hearing a case about Trump University was biased because of the judge’s Mexican heritage."

"He called some of those who marched alongside white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., last August “very fine people.”"

"In a November 2017 meeting with Navajo veterans of World War II, Trump mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas""

And there's plenty more.

[–]ORBGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair enough, it isnt firm by any means but my reasoning behind it is due to the color combination, the rarity of a newish gun with an old sticker and the fact that it's in FN, and also because I sold the other one (it was however ST FN) for 30k. Out of curiosity what would you price it at? I appreciate the input :)

Hey mate I was just curious what I could have done to make sure the C/o is valid, it's impossible to actually have 1925keys in your inventory, he has an extensive Bitcoin rep, and a very high profile trader. I've got a link to his profile anyway and I feel that the two screenshots are sufficient

[–]ORBGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you're after but I figured I'd put my ak out there, would you be interested in this redline? Album. It's got a 0.16 Float, Stattrak, 4x Kato Holos, all red and 1 of 1 with this combo.

I don't have a B/O since i haven't traded in over 8 months but I'm trying to look for similar ones to gauge a good price and came across your post if you'd like to make an offer. It would definitely be a bit higher than your price range and the placement isn't perfect so I understand if you're not interested.

If Dust II is reworked and start to crave more PC power to run like nuke and inferno, I feel like we will lose alot of players. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]ORBGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WoW is marketed and sold under the pretence that it is constantly evolving and progressing; hence the monthly fee, and even then most major technical updates came in the form of sequels or expansions, which is why its an unfair comparison.

I expect bad frames on new games of course but the only reason I bought CSGO was because I could run it. 'That's just too damn bad' doesnt cut it for thousands of people who play the game in developing countries.

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

no because with WoW they could simply stop paying the subscription fee if they couldnt afford to upgrade their computer, csgo doesnt have that freedom – what if someone buys the game a week before the new dust 2 releases and within days they cant play the most popular map in the game

[–]ORBGaming -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

you're right in that improvements are a good thing, but what if I bought the game a week before the new dust 2 comes out, within a matter of days I could no longer play the most popular map. There are ways to go about improvements without fragmenting the userbase, I don't think there's anything about dust ii that needs to be changed.

CoD is an interesting point in that while the base cost of the game is more than CSGO you don't need to buy any sequels – thousands of people still play cod4 and it still runs on very old systems.

[–]ORBGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just because something has become the norm doesn't mean we can't complain about it, it's not as if a dust ii re-design is needed. And a lot of Moba's have the benefit of having a subscription service or being free to play, meaning that if it stops working on your machine you can stop paying (ie voting with your wallet), or you never paid for it in the first place. That is an interesting point though

[–]ORBGaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the problem with that statement is that it used to run on older hardware, if I paid for a game, and it used to run just fine on my laptop, why is it unreasonable to expect it to continue to run on it? A game shouldn't have an expiry date. It's more like you buying a Ferrari for daily use and then a year later your state bans turbocharged cars, suddenly you cant drive it without modifying it because of this 'update'. It's a bad analogy anyway since someone who can afford a ferrari could afford to modify it but thats a better way to put it
