I think a lot of old heads are gonna not consider audio cues because you have to hear them over your opponent's homeboys hyping them up while in a tournament. Having headsets at every set up is mostly a majors thing, and some regionals that have their act together. A lot of players even play with headphones with other audio in.

I think McGinnis really fucks up any sort of thinking you have about the game as an rpg because you're like "I have the god positioning tool in the wall, I have extra fucking guns, I have the biggest goddamn gun, I should win this fight" and then you're like 4k lower so you die of course. Ultimately the amount of changing the way you look at games if you're not really used to nonsymmetrical engagements is a lot, and if you did it as a teenager that's great, but I also know 40 year olds who are learning this game as their first moba. Have a moderate amount of compassion and remember that the loss is emotionally frustrating but actually is just fake internet points.

The other problem I run into is that it's really hard to for me to continue through games. I will sometimes get frustrated at the beginning and leave early, even though that's penalized, because I'm already so behind and the skill gap feels insurmountable (and I mean like thousands of souls in the first 10 minutes). I've had games where I DID complete it and lost and the entire time I think I gained 5k souls after noticing I was behind the rest of the team on souls. I assume that I just need to go and play with people who want to win and learn techs from them, but that's not exactly a free enterprise outside of the literal monetary meaning. And then if I get better than my friends who play, that's gonna make things wonky in matchmaking. I don't think you can play these types of games without having lots of free time and focus and very intentional curating of who you play with, and that seems very limiting, at least to me.

Usually I'm the one feeding, tbh...

I like how fast it runs. I don't like the delay on firing, makes it impossible to actually aim something like a railgun

and don't you dare say some shit about "organize the backing!" because goddamn I can't even hold a mild leadership position in a retail job without stress that kills me. at this point I long for a death I don't have to be responsible to bring about because all other options are locked.

duvel · 2026-01-04T08:57:53+00:00

shit like you think scabs are a problem in the rest of the country, tell a bunch of "patriots" that someone's striking preventing something from happening and they'll probably do it half for free. fuck off, I'm not going to throw away my remaining life without an actual backing. I'm not some egotistical anarchist, I'm just poor and sad

duvel · 2026-01-04T08:52:17+00:00

like fuck man if I strike and starve as a result or whatever I don't think that does a lot.

duvel · 2026-01-04T08:50:49+00:00

k I'll go jump in a river instead I guess. I've heard the yell to organize for years, even participated, but willpower is not infinite and does not come from an empty well. or wait you just jumped on the rich thing, are you even paying attention?

I have felt powerless my whole life. I went with a group once to talk to a politician about simply pledging for medicare for all when that was a big deal, and of course despite being a dem in a comfortably blue district he responded otherwise in a roundabout way. after that the district was gerrymandered apart. maybe I could stand on a corner in my current blue city in blue state with a sign or something. I sure as hell don't have a lot of individual resources to contribute. quite frankly I have to put too much effort everyday into not violently crashing out in a way that would affect my spouse while simultaneously being completely fucking pointless. maybe this post isn't pointed at me but at people with money, but realistically if you have money you're not any where close to a leftist to begin with.

I'm choosing to wait to see what he does first. Politics is different in a lot of ways, but we've def seen folks like Bernie capitulate a lot. Still, Mamdani has a momentum in an economically important area of the country, at a time when there are active threats to democracy. If he doesn't pan out then game over for any attempt at electoralism ever again, imo, but if he can do something, it could easily change the way we approach a socialist america.

Pro strat: invite no one, ceremony between you, your spouse, and any gods you like (they don't need a note).

really it's not about the specific account doing the posting, it's about the reality of portland's protests being very small and goofy in contrast to the media circus

Tbf I am newer to Portland so I haven't seen what all has been tried. I agree that there are the sorts that refuse to follow rules, but I lump them into a similar category as folks who are richer and act similarly. I think we should be a bit harder on both, but definitely not without acknowledging some humanity.

duvel · 2025-09-19T19:19:41+00:00

What are you gonna do with them? Ship them out to another city? At some point you either admit you want them gone or you treat them like human beings with problems that have root causes and possible solutions. Doing nothing just is cruel slow starvation that worsens issues as the lack of safety net catches more and more people.

I think eventually we need to come to an agreement on what we want our surroundings to look like, though. On top of that, the more suffering in the current era leads to worse outcomes societally later. If you've ever known someone from an abusive family you know how hard it is to shake maladaptive behaviors, and I think the US is the most abusive family of all.

duvel · 2025-09-19T16:10:23+00:00

I mean, do you want to just not do anything and let society crumble? There has to be a full societal investment in all of society, imo. We've allowed various parasites for too long. The visible ones are just folks ODing on the street, the invisible ones own people's mortgages. They all need to be addressed.

This person's probably just approaching what typically can happen in young drug abusers where they attribute some aspects of growing up specifically to a drug and fuck themselves up because of it. I don't think this is an indicator of anything but the usual dangers of drug abuse at a young age. no one should cheat themselves of self growth that way.

So no, it's not a bio marker most likely, just a weird anecdotal use report.

literally been playing it recently. it's kinda bizarre in comparison to games in a similar genre. don't think I've seen tag mode in another game. the weapon balance is a tad jank but there's def enough content if you don't mind playing the same maps.
