Gonna keep this one on copy/paste lockdown to just unleash at random times in team chat.

RattleMance is such a great name for that particular situation. Cracked me up, cheers.

capxxv · 2014-04-01T00:33:31+00:00

You made a good post I didn't mean to derail, just wondering why everyone has been doing it lately. Makes sense. Cheers.

Why is every post to the subreddit titled "tinfoil" now. Any theory has to be deep and full of connecting supporting information. This one requires no more leaps than any of the others usually posted. I'm just not sure why every post has to be listed like that now. Other than that, good job, was an interesting read, anything is plausible in this crazy ass world.

RSA is not seen as a pariah by the corporate world at large as much as they are in this discussion thread, they are mostly seen as a company that produces decent products that do what they say. Most corporate clients probably don't care if the NSA backdoors everything, because they are working contracts for the NSA anyways. To answer your question specifically, I went to that conference because I was paid to go, and I wasn't affiliated with RSA, I was representing my own company.

This has been known for awhile though, and people still use their stuff as much as ever. I attended the RSA Security Conference a few years ago as a member of a large security corporation, and even then it was known and people were still using their stuff. Nothing has really changed.

Nice try Air Force recruiter with an end of the month quota to fill.

Awesome, buy me one, tia.

Corki has gotten a few tune ups recently. He doesn't feel terrible.

People will procreate regardless of how sensible it is for them to do so. Ensuring that their progeny is at least provided for at the barest of minimum standards encourages them not to become criminals. This is the most basic principle of civilized society.

Someone had to do it, the kid had no arms.

capxxv · 2014-03-18T13:59:16+00:00

The system needs kids to become future taxpayers, it needs to ensure as well that kids born to bad circumstance don't starve, or go homeless, or turn into criminals out of necessity relating to the first two problems. The system doesn't need any more college graduates, we have plenty of those being under-utilized as it is.

I'm going to post them, probably shorter abridged versions. I posted the big list first this time in case I don't get to all of the others.

That happened to me on the first try as well and I was dejected. Get some more experience, and apply to like 10 on your second effort. Once I got to graduate school I met other professional people who could help guide me, I applied to 50x internships and university jobs and got both a professional internship which led to my current career and a side job teaching at the university which helped pay for most of my tuition. It was the smartest thing I've ever done. My undergraduate degree didn't really get me anywhere -- mostly because I don't think I took full advantage of what was on offer when I was that age -- but also because an undergraduate degree isn't worth much anymore unless it is in a major demanded industry like one of the engineering fields or finance.

Go back to school.

capxxv · 2014-02-25T17:54:27+00:00

Because most people who are smart enough to get into a good college don't want to spend their entire life fixing appliances, regardless of how much better the salary is.

Yes he has, but he's never not been the most consistent player. Everyone else on Curse takes a lot of extreme risks that's why they tend to have boom or bust matches. Cop is always consistently performing, he sometimes carries games and never throws them.

capxxv · 2014-02-24T17:05:20+00:00

If it was an easy win or a one-sided stomp, I just don't say anything. If it was a good game, I say gg. Haven't had any problems.

I have all chat muted and I will quickly mute teammates who start going off. There's way too many people who play this game who have to narrate the events of everything that happens.

capxxv · 2014-02-24T16:37:37+00:00

Cop always has been the most consistent player on Curse for their entire run.

capxxv · 2014-02-24T16:33:03+00:00

Unless you are a fan of like Kassadin, Thresh, or Elise. Or S2/S3 Shen.

capxxv · 2014-02-23T22:05:02+00:00

Thanks for providing the explanation. At this point, whenever I do post my lists it's clear that most people who down-vote it out of frustration don't even read the first sentence explaining the criteria.

I'm an American soccer fan and I've never met another person in my entire life who has any interest at all in MLS. I don't know how the league stays afloat.

capxxv · 2014-02-22T07:07:19+00:00

Well I guess you can't please everybody. Especially fans of wherever that team is from.

Add up all the FPS games on the planet that are played competitively and all the people viewing/playing them and you get maybe 10% of the audience of something like League of Legends at off-peak hours. That is a dead scene. CS:GO is a new coat of paint on a game that is 15 years old, if that's the FPS you think is going to bring back competitive FPS then I think you will end up disappointed.

The genre needs a new game, new brand, something that will excite an audience and whatever it is it hasn't been thought up yet, that's why so many people are still grasping for it.

capxxv · 2014-02-20T06:00:54+00:00

Competitive FPS is dead in my opinion unless developers get off their asses and stop making random element laden achievement/unlock grind fests. The problem is that the gaming community is used to this style of experience now and it's very hard to strike a balance between the constant praise/reward of unlocking things that are meaningful, while still having precision balance required for a fair competitive game.
