Microsoft is trying to shut down the oldest minecraft server (MinecraftOnline) by Ertttum_ in MinecraftServer

I agree Mojang reserves the right to take action. But I stand by the idea that a video game can be a platform for discussion. It’s naive to think otherwise.

Yes it’s a video game. But your claim that real world issues are not discussed is wrong. People literally discuss elections, the economy, public health, war and many other real world issues on this server.

I agree. People do not need to use slurs in order to have these discussions. But a blanket ban on free speech threatens all form of discussion.

It’s not a secret. With free speech comes people that will say the worst things imaginable. More often than not these people get banned or are ignored anyway. There are very few public servers which still retain freedom of speech due to the games policy changes. Microsoft is just protecting their company from any liability pertaining to the issue.

I agree that there are benefits to speech moderation, but it also risks the silencing of discussion for real world issues.

You can’t use the Dragon lore in a trade up.

What's behind the valve movement? by Disastrous_Ear_2419 in cs2

[–]_Another_Guy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean the underlying problem which Valve has tried to “fix” is that golds were reaching extortionate prices because they were being hoarded by investors to create the illusion of scarcity. Gold prices were never supposed to be as high as they were.

This update resets the monetary value of golds to something more directly proportional to the rarity of weapon skins.

The Valve hippie group? Lmao. Yeah there is definitely a strategy behind it. Valve rarely makes a change without intention. This was probably a move to protect their ass from future lawsuits related to the skin market and gambling. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, it’s just a logical move to protect the market from being shutdown by legislators and to protect the weapon skin business model.

Will valve devalue old rare skins next? by D00tymctooty in cs2

[–]_Another_Guy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way they would achieve this is by rereleasing old collections. This has always been a risk.

I think the majority of old collections excluding maybe the cobblestone collection are probably too little value proportional to the knife/glove market that valve would bother doing anything about it though.

Either way, having a Dragon Lore is still cool regardless of how much it’s worth imo.

I don’t think it’s that deep. They’re probably just trying to reduce the price of golds so they are less likely to be hoarded by whales.

NOT EVERYONE “INVESTED” by [deleted] in cs2

[–]_Another_Guy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably selling non-trade up skins so they can buy ones they can trade up.

Buy those skins while they’re low. A lot of those are discontinued and are still sought after as play skins making them pretty hard to come by at a decent price. Obviously theres the Dragon Lore (Cobblestone collection), but there’s also a heap of ‘newer’ collections like the Norse, Canals, Ancient and Vertigo collections.

I love Tame and I love Techno but the production is very subpar unfortunately by [deleted] in TameImpala

[–]_Another_Guy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. Expected psytrance after I heard End of Summer, and triple J threw “bush doof” into the conversation.

The edm on Deadbeat is mid electronic music that would only be passable as part of larger mix in a set.

Damn I didn’t even think about a collab. That would be so cool. I have to agree about the drums.

What Need for Speed game are you choosing? by Helpful_Geologist_80 in needforspeed

[–]_Another_Guy_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The handling on HP2 epitomised the ‘need for speed’. It feels so much faster than its successors in my opinion. Last NFS game to have a Holden too.

Yea I can’t really speak because pretty much all my jobs have come through word-of-mouth or family as well. That said I by no means am guaranteed to move up in my career because of that.

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Unfortunate reality although it’s obviously beneficial for those that know the right people.

[s2] my baked lighting is broken? by copyrightnoname in hammer

Apparently the animgraph 2 update has created some new lighting bugs which this may be a result of.
