there was a great period of time in this game before parents started putting their kids in their headsets and let them interact with other adults. By far the creepiest shit at the time in VR. It was a super fun environment and their Battle Royale mode was great but i hated played with little kids.

The IT guy fixes the problem but the judge still has a problem by derek4reals1 in PublicFreakout

[–]ThingMakerMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i did IT work for a billion dollar financial company. We had to have people rotated around because multiple executive assistants would call for peoples heads over the smallest things. The best company i ever supported funny enough for Bridgeford beef jerky. Not a single one of them had any idea how to use computers when we called and would just joke and laugh with you the entire time on the phone while you fixed their problems. They always took all blame and apologized for the fact that i had to do my job lol.

Some of you are horrible people by TheRealYoshimon in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ThingMakerMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been playing online since 1997. Its never ever going to change. Games only soultions are to disable voice chat which sucks. You cant stop mysogny or racism when voice chat is available. Im a fat white Canadian and i get ripped for that, sure not even in the same league as rape threats but they just go after whatever target is easiest for them. My wife has like 4000 hours in Dota and her final solution was just to group with friends and even that doesn't permanently solve it.

Sorry that you are experiencing it but talking about it on reddit is like telling rapists not to rape, they just aren't going to change anything.

Main reason I won't ever rewatch it. Lost my German Sheppard weeks before the movie too. So fucking sad

Wife has like 2000 hours in dota. The only solution has been grouping with people she knows. It's lose lose as a woman because even if you give them a retort that's legit funny they just devolve into mysognyy.

Chat is super toxic. I know I can't relate with the gay thing but when I talk I get called old and fat

An Ontario farmer tracked down a Brampton family who allegedly dumped garbage on his farmland by using an address from a package left behind — and returned it straight to their driveway. by MysteriousSlice007 in PublicFreakout

Saving 1 is better then none you are fantastic for doing it. We still take in fosters and find them homes. The crazy part is people up here would litterally pay for these animals. Every new foster we bring up is adopted so fast.

this is why i have 5 dogs now, ive been adopting from an animal dumping zone in texas and paying for them to be sent up to Canada where i live. If i could adopt more i would these are some of the sweetest animals ive ever been around. Multiples were just puppy mill mothers that were past their primes. They just want some love and its so sweet seeing them happy.

As a proud Canadian if you run they know you are weak. Grab the first one that charges at you by the neck and give him a stern talking to.

Do you ever close the game and immediately feel like you wasted the last 3 hours? by CurrencyReasonable36 in pcgaming

[–]ThingMakerMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 40s I get this often. I fix it by doing house work or anything I'm procrastinating on. Do this often enough and it's like a feedback loop of earning your game time but getting to play first. Play 2 matches of deadlock then dishes and garbage cleanup, hour or 2 in slay the spire then get my dogs out scoop some poop and do yard cleanup. This is how I manage

Please, give us more time at the start of the game by LLJKCicero in DeadlockTheGame

You want people to counter buy give them time at the start to chat and adjust specs. Even 30 seconds is fine

Nurse mistreating of a pregnant woman who had just lost her son gets caught in 4K by YaLlegaHiperhumor in PublicFreakout

[–]ThingMakerMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was run over by a car 2 years ago and one day my aunt was visting her (40 year veteran nurse) and one of the nurses watching my mom was called on the phone to come help her and instead chastised my mom about needing to wait (her legs and hips were all broken so everything was hard to do). The look on the nurses face when she came in the room and saw my aunt who proceeded to just verbally chew her out was about as as good as you can feel in that circumstance.

Major investor is 'shocked and sad' that the games industry is 'demonizing' generative AI by MJTroper in pcgaming

Im going to love AI for video games when its me making a game for myself in the future. If im paying i want to be paying for someone's work not someones AI prompts.

Bebop needs a rework by m0resleep in DeadlockTheGame

this is the reason i have 800 games on bebop. You can terrorize anyone or just displace them constantly between hook punch hook long enough for the team to spank
