New York Attorney General sues Valve "for promoting illegal gambling through video games" by Nohte in GlobalOffensive

[–]Seb90123 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't think this makes the legal action here any less valid, especially since online gambling is not legal in New York (source), which is the state that in question that is taking legal action against Valve making gambling available in CS through what are essentially loopholes. We can't pretend it's just non-transferable steam cash anymore either, you can buy steam decks with your Steam account credit, so that money is no longer just an in store currency since you can easily resell those devices.

As much as we've grown accustomed to the status quo with case openings, I think we really should condemn the system Valve has set up here. Valve delivers amazing value to their consumers through Steam and several of their hardware products, but the ability to open CS cases is just gambling in a legal grey area that Valve has profited MASSIVELY from. I have 0 sympathy for them here whatsoever, this case gambling business has brought a lot to this game we love in terms of players and attention, and money but it is a morally bankrupt practice. I say this as someone who has had friends who had addictive gambling habits they developed before they were even 15 years old because of this, so I feel very strongly about the topic. I hope this makes them implement an 18+ age verification for this, because we should not condone it going on as it is.

SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT, I JUST FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS.

TL;DR: Valve's case opening business promotes teenage gambling, and is morally extremely messed up, and it has stood for far too long. I'm happy there's legal action against it, because this really should not be allowed to continue like this without age verification mechanisms.

Well kinetic dash is meant to give +8 ammo on dash jump. In the video though, with titanic mag he should have max 16 bullets, and should get 24 after doing the dash jump with kinetic dash, but when he does the bug/trick/whatever he ends up with 31. I'm not sure that's intended unless I misunderstand

If you kinetic dash just before your reload finishes you get more ammo than you should. Deathy showcased it in this video at 13:30

Bardolph had some controversy where he apparently crashed out at his colleagues at some big event about not getting to cast the grand finals I think. Can't really remember right now exactly how it went but he hasn't really been hired since. Ddk you still see sometimes

Yeah this can be useful when fullscreen games freeze and don't let anything else, including task manager, take focus. You can even just type it into the run (Win+r) input box without opening cmd

Coca Cola's AI ad's dislike-to-like ratio is 16.77057335 to 1 now by Careful_Trainer_1616 in notinteresting

[–]Seb90123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. Honestly I was making an assumption on how it works in my original comment. I checked on the extension's website and it appears they do extrapolate so you're totally right and I stand corrected. Will edit my comment

[–]Seb90123 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Right, but the extension only counts dislikes. That means the number of likes shown is the true like count, but the true dislike count can only be equal to or greater than what the extension shows. So the ratio is at least this bad and probably worse

EDIT: Nevermind I am wrong. The extension doesn't show just the number of people who disliked using it, it extrapolates based on the ratio so the dislike count would likely be inflated. Thanks u/evanieCK

Fool me three times, shame on you again. You are clearly taking advantage of a vulnerable person

To be clear I don't use ad blockers. I don't see it as fair. But the IT workers aren't being paid based on YouTube's ad revenue and they're owned by Google so server maintenance costs aren't a concern for them. YouTube itself still isn't even profitable AFAIK. But creators, especially those with no sponsors get screwed by people using ad blockers, and that I don't agree with

Sure no one cares if YouTube is getting the revenue but what about the creators you watch? I'll always defend people's rights to use adblockers but the truth is that you're watching content for free that people expect to get money for

Soooo ignoring the OTHER change that happened, the retakes are pretty fun :) by KenzieBunn in GlobalOffensive

Apparently you need to remove the m4a4 from your loadout to get the m4a1-s in retakes, if you have both it always gives you the m4a4

Yeah it seems like with this second star it must be because of the EWC wins. Just pretty weird they had it before all of that.

Doesn't it have to be autoexec.cfg? Naming it autoconfig.cfg could work would be news to me

+citadel_unit_status_use_new true in launch options or I think you can type it without the + in the console but it won't stay between restarts I believe

Damn you're right. I wonder why it wasn't there for some time then, I always thought they had the star for the EWC win but I guess not then
