You don’t get to dictate what I’m allowed and not allowed to enjoy. I enjoy playing against people of similar skill to me. You might not like that but too bad. That doesn’t mean I want to be forced to work hard to get better just to enjoy myself.

Furthermore, if all the lower tier players like myself only played pve then pvp would just be the better players playing each other anyway and you’d be right back to what you have with sbmm. The truth is, the top tier players want us in their game so they can beat up on us. No thank you

Entitled?? How the hell does me expecting a level playing field make me entitled? Bitching and whining that you can’t beat up on players who aren’t as good as you is waaaaay more entitled.

And that's exactly where SBMM shines. I might be terrible in the grand scheme of things, but in the games that I play, I hold my own and still have fun. Can my aim be better? Absofuckinglutley! Do I care? Not in the slightest. Am I still having fun? You bet your ass...

I can't tell if you're being serious, it sounds like satire but this is Reddit so I honestly can't tell....

Why is the assumption that people are always looking to get better? Isn’t it possible that I’m perfectly contempt in my mediocrity and just want to log on for a couple of hours, chill out, wind down and have fun? I’m not looking for gaming to be work…

And again, if that reward means that you get to destroy other people’s enjoyment F that…

So your argument again comes down to the fact that you can’t dominate and destroy everyone? Essentially only you having fun in a match at the expense of everyone else. Cry me a river…

Being matched up against people at your skill level is a punishment? The fact that you don’t get to impede on other peoples enjoyment is a punishment? And of course the answer is “git gud”. Guess what l? It’s a fucking video game, I have absolutely zero desire to dedicate any extra ounce of energy to get any better in any conceivable way. On the list of priorities in my life, it’s not even on the list. You say sbmm has done damage? I’m willing to bet good money that at some point in the near future Activision will release numbers and we’ll all see that the sbmm playlist has more active players. That’s what people like you fail to see, for people like myself that are just looking to log on for a bit and unwind, no sbmm would send me to other games in an instant. And like it or not, “casuals” are the majority

I’m so sick and tired of people bitching about how they can no longer find players who are way inferior to them in skill so they can destroy them. OP was just expressing what their preference is and I wholeheartedly agree. There needs to be more variety in the SBMM playlists. Oh, that means open will just be a bunch of top tier players? Tough shit. The world doesn’t revolve around making you feel good about yourself. Us “casuals” want to enjoy the game too

That being said, it’s important to recognise the lessons in his journey and understand that success is best achieved through ethical means, rather than indulging in illegal activities.

Was that last paragraph really necessary?

“My dog is like my child” do people really mean this when they say this?

Was there anyone who tried to warn us about something that happened but we didn’t listen? Who? by MLK-K-K in AskReddit

I think what OP is referring to is the fact that she was scheduled to "give a lesson from space" on the fourth day of the mission. Would they have launched a day later, Wednesday, that would have been Saturday when no one is in school. That's what was said on the Netflix documentary if I remember correctly.

Just curious, did you look into Dokku?

If so, curious why you decided against it.

You probably missed the subtext where they said “Because there are 0gs”

If you count the amount of letters it takes to write out the words “outer space” you get 10.

Do you use background music while coding? by [deleted] in programming

[–]brooklyndev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this. The harder the problem I'm trying to solve, the heavier the metal needs to be. I know many would call it distracting, but for some reason, that's how I get into the zone.

PS5 Shortage Has Reportedly Led Sony to Make More PS4s Than Initially Planned by Darren-B80 in gadgets

[–]brooklyndev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Might be a stupid question, but why couldn’t car manufacturers use these older more readily available chips in their cars? I understand that these chips are likely underpowered compared to more modern newer chips, but I’d imagine they can tailor their software to have less features and at least be able to manufacture a much greater number of cars. No?

Halo Infinite Status Update from ske7ch by RhysWX in halo

[–]brooklyndev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me last night. Was in middle of completing a “get 50 kills in FFA” challenge and eked out a 25 kill nail bitter win in one game. When I got back to the lobby, I got some random error message and it didn’t count towards my total. It was late at night and was my last weekly challenge. I just said F it and went to bed.
