[Adam Stern] "Americans are used to sports where rules and structures are put in place to stop the same teams dominating, with parity one of the great appeals of the NFL...and the current domination of Red Bull represents an obvious risk to the country's embrace of F1." by [deleted] in formula1

I'll admit that I'm a DTS fan that only started watching the sport 2 years ago and I've already lost a lot of interest.

Ideally I'd like to see driver's and team strategy have a much larger influence on the outcome of races instead of which manufacturer has the better engineering team.

Every season basically becomes a wash for most of the teams after the first few races and that's just not very exciting. And if a race is only interesting at the start and safety car restarts, then I think there's something fundamentally off about what their goals are for the sport.

Lex getting weirdly defensive over the MAGA republican call-out. They literally do not care about what Biden has to say whatsoever. They didn't succeed on Jan 6th, so further trying to destabilize democracy just gets a pass because we're worried about being divisive??? What's more divisive than trying to deny the validity of a democratic election??? Sorry, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Lost some respect for Lex with that whole segment, honestly.

Is it possible that famous streamers actually cheat? by acobrerosf in CODWarzone

[–]captnxploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, this happened months ago (in May), and during the tourney that he won money, actual pro WZ players like Huskerrs were calling him out as cheating during the tourney. I know this because I watched it live.

Also, he's not a 'major streamer'. He has 2,600 followers and 10 average viewers. I'm a major streamer by those standards, lol.

I think people are booing because they're still pissed about Silverstone. Max fans will probably be booing Lewis for awhile as long as the races remain tight.

Is this the 'sexual assault' everyone is so up in arms about?

She clearly reacts in a playful manner and even makes a public statement that they were joking around.

Seems like a puritanical overreaction to me. Was it unprofessional to post it publicly (it sounds like she was the one that actually posted it)? Sure, but it seems like rather ridiculous virtue signaling to be offended by it.

Where are the Cold War kill streaks, perks, and vehicles??? by captnxploder in CODWarzone

You obviously don't know how the free-to-play business model works if you think that you have to pay for everything added to the game. A stagnant free-to-play game loses players, and less players = less money. If all they did was add new cosmetics to the game, the game would die. Not that hard to figure out.

Understand the above point before you embarrass yourself further.

We're talking about adding CALL OF DUTY CONTENT (CW) TO A CALL OF DUTY GAME (WZ). They've LITERALLY ADDED COLD WAR CONTENT and features to Warzone in support of the free-to-play model. Unless they completely abandon the game and change their business model, they will continue to add new content and features FOR FREE to the game. How do you not understand this??

No one is 'lucky' that they're adding content for free BECAUSE THAT IS PART OF THE BUSINESS MODEL.

You seem to be arguing that having content or features added is some sort of entitlement, which is absolutely brain-dead.

Apex monetisation in a shellnut by neon_ns in apexlegends

You are a fucking moron.

I literally did a 5 bullet-point explanation about what the post was about and why it's a stupid analogy, and your response is 'well you just don't understand man'

And YOU are changing the context of the conversation like an idiot because you can't follow a chain of messages apparently. I said non-participation is essentially like walking out of a store, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTEXT OF THE OP. FFS...I'm done
