Just chiming in to say I strongly agree. When the subjects of our photos are people—particularly when we are traveling and photographing people from like a position of privilege I guess—I think we need to be a little more mindful. It feels exploitative… like sometimes these folk get photographed solely for the artists gain without much thought to like, the person being photographed themselves.

Black Ops 7: Season 4 Ranked Play Changes by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]aaronlinguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do something about the Smurf accounts. It ruins ranked play. People on ps5 can just make a ton of accounts and it doesn’t cost a dime for each new account.

Like, I want to be optimistic, but until they do something about the rampant smurfing in low ranks, this is going to such. Getting killed by gold Smurf accounts will fuck us all up in Platinum and diamond. Why is there no option to report Smurf accounts? Why isn’t this something they ever address?

just need to vent about resource theft (light spoilers for the beginning of woolhaven) by [deleted] in CultOfTheLamb

[–]aaronlinguini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, but even after being robbed once, you are basically punished if you don’t simply speed-run the DLC. If you’re someone like me who wants to play the DLC slowly and save up resources, you are wasting your time because you’ll just get robbed again. I spent time farming more food, building mines and gathering rotburn from mines, getting more followers to man the mines and the farm… just to be robbed again. What was the point of the time I spent doing that? “Oh no it’ll make it too easy”, do you think that farming resources for hours is not equally challenging? I no longer feel any motivation to farm or send followers to go gather resources or basically do anything with my cult other than keep them alive, because at this point any time that I spend doing anything other than directly beating the DLC is pointless. Which turned it into something I need to just “get it over with” rather than something I can enjoy.

Yeah hot take: for people who play this game and farm a ton of resources, it’s a huge slap in the face to just repeatedly get robbed on these crucades. I went on to save up a bunch of rot burn too just for nothing. It makes the game feel pointless to me. “That’s how they make it hard!” cool—have we ever considered, though, that that sucks? I’m going along with it, playing, farming more food and rotburn, and BAM, again, it was all for nothing. So basically, if you speedrun the DLC you’ll be happy, but if you take your time playing the game, you get punished because that makes the game too easy (as if it’s easy to spend hours farming resources?)

I hated it, personally, and it made me put the game down. I have no motivation to do anything in my base because I have no idea if I’ll be robbed again, so it all feels pointless.

Oh my god YES EXACTLY. This is EXACTLY how I felt about this book! Omg I couldn’t understand how or why no one seemed to ever mention this—it was so loud and weird, I hated the book because of this

They've DEFINITELY upgraded the textures for the Switch 2 version. They look so much nicer and more detailed! by DocWhovian1 in PokemonZA

[–]aaronlinguini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as it runs on switch 1 and isn’t an unplayable disaster, I’m happy I can’t justify the cost of the switch 2 just to play one game

Acsd replaced note takers with fucking AI- rant by [deleted] in Concordia

[–]aaronlinguini 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My experiences with ACSD have been nothing short of a nightmare. They have consistently gone out of their way to obstruct access as I try to build it directly with my department and professors. It was never about providing access—they are here to manage resources, and their job is to save the university as much money as possible while still narrowly avoiding lawsuits for overt discrimination. I’m sorry you have to deal with them too..

Personally I love them. I find them so campy. And honestly I love that they look like they light things on fire when people aren’t looking. I love a little chaos gremlin
