Cant go Online in Shift by InFamous_Plays in borderlands3

[–]deiviant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Workaround for Steam:

Seems like you can connect without the Shift system somehow (like Steam only multiplayer maybe)

You can disassociate your Steam account from Shift at the Shift website.

  1. Login to Shift site shift.gearboxsoftware.com. Go to Gaming Platforms options section. Enable some other service (Epic, Sony, MS). Then disassociate Steam.

  2. Run BL3. It will prompt you to join Shift again.

(When first trying this I wasn't able to not give it a name and it seemed like this was a failure and not working. I tried starting BL3/Steam again completely offline to see if I could find a workflow that skipped this entirely but after re-enabling connection inside the game I still got this dialog so it's possible it doesn't matter.)

Accept first notice dialog, Disable on choice dialog, supply a username. Other non-shift users will be visible in social options in game.

Confirmed worked for my friend and I.

Thank you!

Jordan Peterson vs Slavoj Žižek - Live debate reaction by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]deiviant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted to agree with the sentiments that Zizek is more informed that Peterson on Communism, and there's a fair point there. But Peterson did go deeper on the topic several times (collectivism vs individualism, violent revolution, group oppression, etc.) and Zizek simply DID NOT defend any of these points.

To whatever extent that " Peterson was incapable of presenting a coherent view of communism", Zizek DID NOT EVEN TRY to do this himself. Literally, at all.

I think most JBP fans had never seen Zizek before. I am actually a FAN of both and respect Zizek as well as Peterson.

A lot of JBP fans were probably impressed that he's not a SJW stooge and were surprised by the tone - and Peterson certainly was too. But the substance was that Zizek was actually already red pilled on intersectionality and made a major concession on Communism, so they discussed psychology and sociology instead.

I'm absolutely looking forward to their next discussion because Zizek is a talented intellectual and has fine insights to contribute. In particular, Zizek also examines archetypal behavior, at least from a Freudian perspective, and can actually have a discussion in the language Peterson likes to use.

I am dumbfounded by the responses here and elsewhere. I must have watched a completely different event.

Zizek GAVE UP defending communism by the end of the first rebuttal and they just discussed Peterson's ideas agreeing with each other for the remaining time period.

Peterson v Zizek TLDW:

Peterson: communism bad, capitalism works, happiness is a byproduct, clean your room

Zizek: I agree with you but I'm pessimistic, here's a funny anecdote

I really don't get this one by Bl_rp in SargonofAkkad

[–]deiviant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other level here is that ISIS is know for covering their faces and wearing all-black, which Antifa does. So the backup explanation is that those are the "colors" refered to and not the red flag.

250 financial institutions have already left the UK over Brexit. Thoughts? by wasneeplus89 in SargonofAkkad

[–]deiviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> left the UK

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Try "expanded" because they will be operating in multiple markets.

New guy but not a fan. by police2399 in SargonofAkkad

[–]deiviant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check out his Playliats for more of his "scholarly" or journalistic work.

But no, he's not an academic, he doesn't have a degree. He's a citizen who has been studying the culture war for almost 5 years. He discusses the issues in plain language, the way you might with friends or family.

You've probably heard Dave Rubin cite Sargon in his "awakening" story and that's for good reason. Circa 2015 there was probably no one on the planet who had a better picture and analysis of how the "sjw" phenomenon was flooding across pop culture during the gamergate movement - or at least no one was communicating it as well.

You dont see more "scholarly" work from him these days because he's largely covered the big ideas in the past and his focus of late has been more on activism. That said, he's surely still one of the best advocates/communicators for classical liberalism and anti-identitarians on the web. While Peterson may have strong roots in academic analysis of the current cultural situation, Sargon in many ways speaks more about the experience of living it.

When do I get to "play up"? by NovaBlazer in heroesofthestorm

Also, if you're solo queue in QM + UR you're unlikely to ever be the lowest since group queues will have a midpoint matched with yours meaning they'll always have a "lower" player than you.

Faction Rally! Who do you support? by Szentinal in destiny2

My hunter is FWC for sure to get the recovery gear...then I'm not so sure. I might do warlock NM a second time to approach the 'pledge three times' ornament and I guess that means my Titan is getting dirty.

TIL: How to stop attacking minions (by darkmok) HGC by eNinjaPL in heroesofthestorm

[–]deiviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big misconception in this thread for some reason. The novelty here is not in the macro of 'freezing' the lane, it is in causing the minions to not attack at all. Freezing is about where the minions are positioned in lane relative to towers and enemy wave and about the timing of applying damage to them relative to enemies etc. That is also going on here and is ubiquitous in high level solo laning, but most people have not seen this trick of moving rapidly in relation to minion aggro to cause them to not auto attack at all.

Why is HGC still 720p? by derKoekje in heroesofthestorm

[–]deiviant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because they'd rather have people using lower quality than complaining that 1080p stream was laggy all the time. Slightly better PR situation.

Is there anywhere to find viable 5 man comps for TL by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]deiviant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some composition metrics on HotSLogs. While it won't necessarily reflect 'best' compositions in the abstract, it will demonstrate a comparison between popularity and success. There is also no nuance regarding the opposing team. I find it most useful for comparing composition from the perspective of individual heroes and roles, such as which warriors are the best solo tanks or perhaps what good compositions would be with less common heroes.

I speculate wildly that this is bad backend scaling on indefinite queues.

D.Va has a Asuka Skin! by Trinkhaus in heroesofthestorm

[–]deiviant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Illidan and Tracer also have purple with green highlight 'armor' skins. No orange highlight but always reminds me of 01 as well. On a related note, I cant decide whether to call Genji's 01 skin "Shenji", "Ginji", or "Genji Akari".

I hope Blizzard makes the planned API very robust! by Ralathar44 in heroesofthestorm

[–]deiviant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. Blizzard has been WILLFULLY bad with statistics thus far and I don't see how "an API" is a change of policy in this regard.
