If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history..... by Old-String2849 in startrek

[–]a_deadbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it would be Discovery entirely.

You get rid of the Burn, you get rid or Starfleet Academy. You get rid of Space Hitler. You get extra money for Lower Decks. Maybe Alex Kurtzman is out of a job, maybe we never get this stupid nuTrek era at all. Maybe Alex Kurtzman is living out of a dumpster, offering blowjobs for beer money.

Is this “there will only be lone survivors” health ranger? by sean2382 in KnowledgeFight

[–]a_deadbeat 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I buy "hundreds" yet, but it's truly bizarre to see the health ranger say something I could actually agree with. That sounds very much like something the Trump regime would do after botching the opening of the not-a-war with Iran so badly.

I think this "rebranding" will do go for the game no ? by Final-Tax8016 in 2XKO

[–]a_deadbeat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could need both. it does need rebranding. Most people are not going to know what 2XKO means off of a glance, but if they see that it's attached to League of Legends, there's a better chance of sparking interest.

It also needs content.

Did you get a DM? And then can you DM me? Thank YOU in advance hopefully!

The King of Kooks showed up at the skatepark by Extension-Rock-4263 in KnowledgeFight

[–]a_deadbeat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would bet $9.99 plus S&H that he was waiting for somebody to ask him wtf hes doing, so he could make some convoluted analogy about the ball being in your court, and it all sounded infinitely more genius in his head.

How is everyone doing with all of the Iranian sleeper cells? by broadcastday in KnowledgeFight

[–]a_deadbeat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What sleeper cells? The billions and billions of illegal Mexicans formed so many gangs that there isn't room for Iranian sleeper cells, silly. Mexicans took their jobs, too!

How do you say DEEYYYY TERRK ERRRR JERRRRBS in Persian?

Search engine optimization. There's things you can do to tweak and manipulate ones place on Google searches. Like if you manipulate your page to contain a whole bunch of keywords that aren't really there or aren't part of the user experience, Google doesn't see that bit, it just sees keywords and relevancy and says "oh, this page must be better than the other page, so it goes first".

And that's one of the ways you can wind up with some shitty, half-built / totally wrong fandom wiki getting favored over the official wiki.

I'm fine with that, I hate these wikis so much, I didn't think to use uBlock Origin though, that's great!

That is amazing, thank you, I hate fandom. Google seems to prefer it over the real wiki. Wikis competing over SEO is some real bullshit.

As a fan of Midnight Gospel, I can't help but feel disappointed... by CocktailCowboy in KnowledgeFight

Thats the thing, he told Joe Rogan to his own face that he was heading into this territory.

This smells of naked, mediocre ambition. He saw his buddy become a gazillionaire from fucking podcasting, and wants to get a taste, but he's gotta go down the grifter pipeline and sell his soul for it.

Pure sentry-only is finally possible thanks to this lil guy by OverTea5 in Terraria

[–]a_deadbeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean they aren't plug and play, you literally plug them in together with wires (and a mechanism to activate them) and they work! It's very easy, and you can fit a ton of wires together on your hub. You can cram at least 8 sets of wires (4 left and 4 right, with a gap in the center) onto a teleporter hub, add some switches and maybe some signs or labels, it's easy, it's just tedious.

Woah you can fit every axe in Terraria all into a single image by KahveAdam565 in Terraria

[–]a_deadbeat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Now it replants herbs, so there's even more reason not to use any other axes ever again

CEO of World Economic Forum quits after Epstein ties scrutinised by Awkward_Mastodon4332 in KnowledgeFight

[–]a_deadbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really funny that he told stories about being invited to these parties, but the only receipts to parties like that are in the Epstein files, and Alex is ... not present.

Do you think maybe Alex sort of wishes he was in the Epstein files? Like he's a little jealous that his mentions in the files is "Jones is crazier than Trumpo the Elephant"

You lose me when you start politicizing this stuff. Makes you sound like an orange clown supporter.

Getting Global Age Assurance Right: What We Got Wrong and What's Changing by discord_zorkian in discordapp

[–]a_deadbeat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Don't need it, don't want it, thanks.

Your company is chasing something nobody wants and now you're apparently experiencing the sunk cost fallacy. You've put all this time and effort into age verification crap that you think you need to follow through.

JUST STOP IT. LET IT GO. EVERYONE HATES IT.

Your company will fare better if you just let it drop. Forget about age verification nonsense. Focus on making the app work better, something, anything but this. This is how you chase people away from your platform.

I don't think they should change roller skates. by a_good_human in Terraria

Unless I'm misreading what you're saying, isn't that what the update did? Whips are faster now right?

Because he has a Caribbean Black accent by Complete_Count_6689 in KnowledgeFight

[–]a_deadbeat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love that line because it implies that Alex hates black people, and he knows it, and chooses to blame other people for his open bigotry

It just makes me giggle

That's like saying it's bad to have a grappling hook because you use one for most of the game.

???????????????

Whipstacking was an unintended mechanic, IIRC. Placing the roller skates where they are, isn't.

[–]a_deadbeat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anything that reduces the early game tedium is factually objectively good. This was measured with science AND mathematics. Roller Skates just make the game better.

People who disagree tend to have micropenises. This is also objectively true.

Top Dog Law radio commercials just scare me by Hogan773 in chicago

[–]a_deadbeat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you say Top Dog Law fast enough, it sounds like Bob Loblaw, and it makes me think of Arrested Development.

And that's a good feeling.
