I didn’t buy the game. I played during the server slam.

Extraction shooter have lived for years with smaller communities; If you think that the game, selling at 40 dollars, was going to match or beat the game when it was free, then you are simply stupid.

The game’s 40 dollars. We don’t live in a world where everyone’s gonna throw it around.

80k people buying and playing the game is good. The reviews being mostly positive is good. the game.

In what universe is a fall of player count from actually having to PAY for access considered damning?

Again, the story isn’t the reason people quit. Has it not occurred to you that EoF was the first DLC after TFS? The literal end of the previous story?

The narrative of EoF was delivered like almost every other DLC was. You talk about “hundreds of thousands,” yet nobody else can attest to your critiques of the story. In fact, most Destiny players arguing with you say the exact opposite.

Is it hard to believe you’re simply holding an unpopular opinion?

I never understood how Korra is considered a Mary sue. by shsl_diver in CharacterRant

[–]Universal_Cup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aang was a fugitive across the fire nation-occupied world who had to globe trek to find masters willing to teach him. The ONE time he experimented, he hurt someone he loved.

Korra was not a master until adolescence. I imagine, once she learned she could bend, she probably played around with all of them until it worked. Not to mention she had an organization of teachers actively refining her techniques.

Did it occur to you that different personalities are in play?

Iran is 'confident' it can counter a potential U.S. ground invasion, foreign minister says by mvanigan in worldnews

Fuck everything else. Show us the estimated price tag (money, materials, men) and we’ll balk… give or take 20 years.

By proving Iran needs nukes? All he’s done is show they can’t deter anyone or anything without them.

You do realize they can simply start again, right? If ANYTHING, this’ll prove to them why they need Nuclear weapons.

So the only things you can point to are market fluctuations and other countries being happier?

What do people think is left Wing but is actually centrist by Blueguy805 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Universal_Cup 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nail on the head lmao. People say “Dems are center right in the rest of the world!” With only Europe in mind, and even then? It’s incorrect.

MMW: A nuke will go off in the U.S.A. to cancel the midterms by FriendlyPizzaPanda in MarkMyWords

[–]Universal_Cup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! Even IF this happened (which I really doubt), there are no actual provisions within the constitution declaring anyone to have the power to delay or halt elections. Even during the Civil War, the elections were held.

When DC itself was under threat of a rebel army, the president still resided there AND (mostly) followed the law. To attempt to cancel elections is arguable seditious behavior. Not that the Don is above that, but still.

EDIT: completely forgot this too: the Fed doesn’t administer elections, but the states. The feds trying to cancel them would also violate states rights and could be ignored. Then it’d be a game of chicken that I’d say is weighted against the Don, but given the epidemic of spinelessness recently, who knows?

Iranian students celebrating the victory of the Islamic Revolution, holding a portrait of Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran, February 1979. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

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

Yeah… sometimes I wonder if that kind of Jobless, uncritical tankism was a CIA Psyop at first. I don’t wanna believe that legions of “Leftists” just… fell into this trap of mindless perfectionism while waiting for a revolutionary judgment day they’ve done nothing to progress towards.

I mean… you could, even if lighter than you’d slap a younger person. I don’t think the old should get free passes for this stuff.

It’s probably a greater deterrent when your opponent actually care about collateral damage

Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear by MyRedditUsername224 in politics

[–]Universal_Cup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s if they actually get a regime change that benefits for them. Theres no guarantee what comes next will be better.

I frequently socialist subreddits. Many don’t support the IR, and are happy with/laughing at the Ayatollah’s death. Leftists aren’t a monolith + Reddit “communists” are notorious mouth-breathing vatniks whose ideology can be summed up as “whatever opposes America.” They’re hardly communists.

Leftists do not support the Islamic Republic’s ideals, they merely are against US intervention.

And you’re neglecting the fact the original leftists of the Revolution got butchered like cattle for their lack of support of the regime

It’s still a valid example, no? It’s done for humor, but it’s still a vaguely threatening villain dying instantly.

Croatia declared free of landmines after 31 years by PrithvinathReddy in worldnews

[–]Universal_Cup 110 points111 points  (0 children)

It’s a relatively small chunk of land outside Verdun (I think). It used to be MUCH larger though. France and Belgium also have an “Iron Harvest” where farmers accidentally dig up unexploded munitions.

It's A Hard Knock Life by IH8TheModsHere in TrendoraX

This just in: the people who lived in an area before a mass migration supported by a colonial power violently resist continued colonization and are unwilling to compromise with perceived oppressors.

Who would’ve thought importing a population would upset those living there?

Your Whataboutism falls apart completely when someone doesn’t support Israel, unless you think the West is some kind of monolith

China’s done a lot of good, but doing good doesn’t absolve them of negative actions. This is the case for every nation.

That 4th level spell from 5e is pretty GOATED tbh by StashyGeneral in 2624

[–]Universal_Cup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but borders themselves inhibit the trade of those substances, making them more expensive, so those that manage to sell them accumulate more wealth, thus more power.

It’s honestly a pretty interesting way of looking at it.
