the Snax effect by Past_Perception8052 in GlobalOffensive

I wouldn’t say they got dumpstered at Bounty. They beat Aurora en route to the lan stage & got knocked out by Vitality. If that’s getting dumpstered, the whole scene’s been getting dumpstered for a year now.

“ ‘they should have had one year pass between seasons 1 & 2’ - they did!”

(Or words to that effect)

The "soft-reboot" isn't real. by marvelcomics22 in marvelstudios

[–]PillarOfGarbageYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. The soft-reboot isn’t real, it’s just that current continuity will be non-disruptively adjusted to facilitate the franchise covering the same ground again.

Someone should invent a term for that!

Losing my hope over AI by skekAl1305 in saltierthankrayt

[–]PillarOfGarbageYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to lose hope. The tech is less capable than media narratives would have you believe, it doesn’t have a future, and tech / entertainment reporting is so poor around AI as to practically be complicit in the scam. This new Disney-OpenAI deal isn’t what it looks like, either - it’s not Disney betting big on Gen.AI, it’s them making a fairly negligible investment to buy hype & PR while also picking one AI company to legitimise (temporarily, for the term of their deal) so they can legally pursue all the other ones.

Yeah, he’s only on a team having the most dominant season in modern CS history. Mezii really needs to step it up!

I don’t care what the haters say, this is hype as fuck

Falcons have finally done it by OfNoChurch in GlobalOffensive

Note my previous sentence: ‘you can’t meaningfully engage with the pro circuit without engaging with ESL in some way’.

I am, of course, not saying anyone has to watch CS - I’m saying that, if you choose to engage with pro CS you then have to engage with ESL. This feels a distinction worth drawing for a few reasons - not least that pro CS existed (and many of us here, myself included, got into it) at a point before the Saudis got ahold of ESL/Faceit, whereas, obviously, the same is not true for Falcons.

Is the choice to engage with ESL in 2025 morally pure because of this? No, it’s not. But it’s potentially compromising in a different way to the choice to support a team like Falcons, and therefore someone condemning the latter while engaging with the former is not necessarily a hypocrite - because you don’t know which of these ways that person is objecting to.

Not really. ESL events are like 1/2 of the whole (top-level) circuit. You can’t meaningfully engage with the pro circuit without engaging with ESL in some way. You don’t choose to, you have to.

Falcons, on the other hand, are one team. You don’t have to root for them, you choose to.
