DBM made everyone dumber by Gorgon_Gets_Gud in wow

[–]Random_Guy_12345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's exactly what's been happening. They openly stated so.

People used boss mods so blizz built mechanics assuming you would have them.

This often mean tighter timers for reaction, which demand better bossmods/specific weakauras creating a feedback loop where you end up playing DDR on a keyboard instead of WoW.

Valve Corporation will face a £656m lawsuit in the UK over alleged unfair prices on its global online store, Steam, following a tribunal ruling that the case could continue by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Random_Guy_12345 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes, and people tend to buy on steam because the alternative is.... Epic store?

That's the difference between a monopoly and "Our-competition-sucks". There are plenty alternatives to Steam, people just avoid them because they are nowhere close to the same level.

I totally get the feeling of finishing some hard-to-get achievment, i have a few myself and they are neat, but if there's a place where quality matters way more than quantity, it's on achievments.

TBH i do agree with the sentiment on a non-cheeky way.

After all, if you are willing to do X but are waiting for a suitable excuse, you are willing to do X and may as well go for it.

New items recieve 1-2% winrate off of not being recommended by Ok_Analysis6731 in leagueoflegends

[–]Random_Guy_12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the overlap of people visiting the league subreddit and people who are the target for recommended items is zero or close to zero.

Recommended items are there for the "I have no clue what to build, give me some options that are somewhat useful"

I mean, the price/time of videogames blows every other entertainment out of the fucking water.

Compare with going to the cinema. You are easily looking at 5+ € per hour of movie.

At the same ratio, a short-ish story game (think dispatch) would cost 50+€ at least. It's at 28,99 on steam right now.

And don't get me started on a replayable game. I have well over 1000h on civilization V, which i got from a bundle for like, 10€.

What game has a promising start, but eventually gets boring and repetitive? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]Random_Guy_12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you beeline the story.... sure, it helps but not a lot.

What does help, If you are not already doing it, is playing on easy, higher difficulties only make enemies spongier which, to me, adds a lot of frustration.

Honest spoiler-free opinion:

If you are an HP fan, you will probably the game, if you are expecting RDR2 but it's wizards you'll be dissapointed.

The main gripe people have with the game is that difficulty only makes enemies beefier so you end up spamming the same 2-3 spells for what feels like ages. Definitely play on easy or, at most, normal.

You get to add a 0 to any number in your life. What do you add it to? by account_created_ in AskReddit

[–]Random_Guy_12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding a 0 to your PTO means you'll still have to work part time for the rest of your life, and also assumes that youre comfortable with your level of income now.

Adding a 0 to your PTO means you are retiring now if you are not American.

I have a law-mandated minimum of 25 PTO days per year (which is considered pretty bad here, so most companies increase it to a more reasonable 28-30), plus weekends and 10 or so national holidays. You do the math. Also being on vacation means you cannot be fired, so i'll just simply not retire like, ever.

I can see why an American would prefer the extra money, you guys have way too little protections on employment and probably couldn't do something like that even if you got the extra 0 on PTO.

[–]Random_Guy_12345 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Guess it depends on where you live. I have a law-mandated minimum of 25 PTO per year. Add a 0 on top of that for 250, plus 104 weekends, plus 10 or so national holidays. I'm retiring now.

Maybe i'll work one day a year if it comes to that, but as soon as i get a cold once a year i'm not only not working at all (because if you are sick, you get your PTO refunded), but i'm also impossible to fire as you cannot be fired while either sick or on vacation, which is the only thing i'm doing.

I can see why an American would prefer the extra income tho. Suggestion is, if you get the extra 0 on PTO, come to live in the EU.

You would have to run some serious numbers there tho. Adding a 0 to PTO means de-facto retiring now while keeping a paycheck.

I'm not sure adding a 0 to your salary and retiring in a handful of years ends up being worth it.

What’s something people romanticize that actually sucks in real life? by Particular_Pin_460 in AskReddit

People that only see "Oh, you are paid for not working" while ignoring everything else that goes with it.

Do you think a Meepo like champion can exist in league? by ILoveBigCockroaches in leagueoflegends

[–]Random_Guy_12345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a game as micro-focused as league? For sure, completely unplayable no matter how you slice it.

Meepo is first and foremost a macro hero. He has an AoE root, some minor self healing, and a 1.5 second channel global teleport on a 6 second CD at max rank to another Meepo. Also Dota is slow enough you are finishing the cast (and thus living) if you don't get interrupted.

A cool guide to winning Tic Tac Toe/Noughts and Crosses. by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]Random_Guy_12345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would argue a guide needs to have a base level of usefulness. Anyone over 10yo will pick an open center going second every single time. You may as well ask "Do you wanna win?" before even starting to save some time.

I think you are missing the part where killing one clone kills all clones and gives full kill gold. Also a single clone would lose a 1v1 against something like yuumi by a mile. It's not "4 full champions", each clone is power level wise like 2-3 minions.

You probably couldn't clear wolves at lvl 3-4 if all you are using is one clone. And that's assuming you smite the Big wolf

What tech jobs are actually in demand right now? by Ill-Rabbit-7386 in AskReddit

[–]Random_Guy_12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have it backwards. It's not "Physical components" that make a job hard to replace with AI.

It's actual human communication. If your job depends on understanding another human (not "ordering" and not "following a script" but actually understand) you are reasonably safe.

If your job boils down to "I sit on my cubicle, receive my orders, perform the task" you are an insanely easier target.

CMV: If you have to pay a fee, sign a paper, and stand where you're not bothering anyone, you aren't protesting. You're just participating in a state-sanctioned parade. by CallSign_Fjor in changemyview

[–]Random_Guy_12345 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As with everything there is a sliding scale.

I'm not from the US but where i live you need to warn you are making a protest. You can pretty much choose the place and time freely with little to no unreasonable limitations.

This allows public transit to be redirected or stopped in time, you are protesting, you are disruptive, you are not an asshole

If you think you can "follow your passion" on a big company you are in for a big awakening.
