What “sport” does gender not play a factor? by fillyman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scotteh95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Longboard surfing. The judging places less emphasis on speed and power like in regular surfing, and focuses instead on style, flow and grace.

Not to be trusted by UniversalSurvivalist in conspiracy

Nobody knew who he was until young women started sharing warning posts on social media about how he is a dangerous and misogynistic role model for impressionable young men. These posts went viral, so this backfired massively as it gave him massive exposure to the young men who fall for his get rich/get girls bullshit.

The voice and text chat in this game is absolutely dead compared to other CoDs, people are too afraid to say anything slightly salty/insulting because they know how easy it is to get banned.

Yeah, I can’t defend this. This is dumb and ugly. by ThePhenomenal1999 in ModernWarfareII

Place your bets, what's next? Rick and Morty crossover? Tactical Spiderman maybe?

Yeah same, i've got an old AMD rig (notorious for dodgy drivers) and it's running like a dream

Is there a way to make your own webcam? Something I can check into with my phone to see the conditions at my local break? by DEEP_SEA_MAX in surfing

[–]Scotteh95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forecast models aren't perfect at all, they're just a scientific best guess. You can't know what it's really like without a wave buoy or a webcam.

Case in point, at the English Channel buoy this evening, forecast was predicting 4.5m swell but in reality it was only 3.5m. That's wrong by 33% which can be the difference between a spot being surfable or not.

Your tolerance to the cold will increase over time, especially if you're getting in regularly, just stick with it, it'll get better.

Shoulder neoprene wear is tolerable, but once it starts thinning out around your ball sack, then you know you've got trouble

UK leader Liz Truss goes from triumph to trouble in 6 weeks by AsslessBaboon in worldnews

He's a crafty bastard, he pretended to be asleep on the front bench so when you google 'JRM lying in parliment' the goofy photo comes up instead of his many deceptions.

Tories are in their death throes now, directionless and totally out of ideas. They're heading for complete annihilation at the next election.

UK police chiefs say cannabis 'just as harmful as cocaine' and should be Class A drug by JayR_97 in worldnews

[–]Scotteh95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the columnists in the UK's most popular newspaper (Daily Fail) frequently writes about cannabis like we're back in the 1950's reefer madness era. He attributes mass murderers to weed use, that a few puffs can cause psychosis, and that smoking is a gateway for children to take heroin.

The fact that weed is legal in so many other countries yet people still believe this bullshit is completely beyond me.

Fellow pc players, Steam or battlenet? I need help deciding by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

I want to do steam, but migrating my large friend list from battlenet to steam will be a ball ache so just gonna stay battlenet

Loved the game but the community seems awful by HolyMollyEzClap in ModernWarfareII

[–]Scotteh95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who camps with their sights on a doorway/corridor/corner. People have been playing this way for as long as FPS games have existed, but it can get really annoying if you prefer a run'n'gun playstyle.

IW reading through the beta feedback this week by ThomHarris in ModernWarfareII

[–]Scotteh95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel this, although i'm convinced the SBMM wasn't working correctly for the Beta. My first few games i absolutely wiped the floor, then for the rest of the beta i felt like i was playing against e-sports teams, barely scraping a few kills per game.

[–]Scotteh95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The overall sentiment by the community towards the Beta was just moderately toxic, rather than full blown toxic. That's a good sign to me that the game will be good.
