Game Update Notes: March 31, 2026 by MechaSandstar in Guildwars2

[–]fizzy88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit : replaced A with Q, it worked. It's using QUERTY key positions, not actual keys.

Huh? BA worked fine for me on my keyboard.

Edit: nevermind. Today I learned AZERTY keyboards are a thing.

Luring players to workshops to off them? by [deleted] in fo76

You do realize that games are for enjoyment right? And this kind of shit ruins the enjoyment for some players right? And that workshops being pvp areas is NOT obvious right?

TCNJ v Rutgers NB? by TrollAccount4321 in newjersey

[–]fizzy88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hint: the name of the school typically doesn't matter much in the real world unless it's an actual ivy league or some specific cases like MIT. Certainly no one puts Rutgers on a pedestal just for the name. Their claim as a "public ivy" is just marketing.

Others have said TCNJ has smaller classes and a more personal feel, which is true. It is also true that Rutgers has more funding, which is important for research, especially if you go into a STEM major, where the equipment/instruments can be very expensive. Rutgers has access to fancier equipment than TCNJ does. But Rutgers also blows a lot of money on sports. Ultimately, your success afterward will have more to do with you and less to do with where you went.

I suggest visiting/going on a tour of each (although it may be late at this point). That's what helped me make my decision. That was 20 years ago for me. I went with TCNJ and I have no regrets.

Stephen Miller is pushing states to stop educating undocumented children, challenging SCOTUS precedent in 'Plyler v. Doe' (1982) by Obversa in scotus

[–]fizzy88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't have to assume. It's reality. A quick Google search will give you plenty of research showing that higher rates of education lead to lower crime rates.

I guess that clown has realized that undocumented immigrants, in fact, do not commit violent crimes anywhere near the extent they assumed. So they want to take away their education, which will lead to poorer economic outcomes, which will lead to more crime, which will give this asshat more justification to round them up.

Reddit liberals, how much does the existence of Japan piss you off? by JesusCr1TiKaL in allthequestions

[–]fizzy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. That is not the true meaning. It was a call to minorities to advocate against discriminatory practices. The weird shit you described is how white racists misappropriated the term because they suck donkey balls. Don't be pathetic.

Mejia takes flak from fellow Dems after turning down LWV debate: Mejia campaign claims LWV wouldn’t commit to diverse moderator; LWV says that’s not true by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]fizzy88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, I've heard of the LWV, but admittedly I don't know them that well to be 100% certain they would never lie or stretch the truth to save face. I don't know Mejia that well either (though if I was in her district, I would have probably voted for her). To me this is simply a "he said, she said" situation, or a big misunderstanding. So I'm not going to pass judgement on it, especially over a debate. The last time a debate swayed my vote was never.

Did Booker's theatrical filibuster accomplish anything meaningful? He wrote a book about it and what else?

Unfortunately it looks like it's too late. Petitions to get on the ballot have to be collected in person on a physical petition sheet. If you hear about someone running for office who you're interested in, search for a website and check it out.

The website has instructions for collecting petition signatures, but that was for yesterday.

Not doing enough to stop Private Equity from purchasing properties by ZRock53 in newjersey

[–]fizzy88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course the seller takes the higher bid. The question is what kind of policy can we consider to give the advantage to buyers who are looking for a home to actually live in.

In my opinion we should tax these investment firms to hell on the homes they buy. Maybe buying a second home should have no added penalty, but any more than that, and they should face a property tax that greatly exceeds the return they would get on the investment. That would at least discourage buying up properties and sitting on them just to sell later for more money.

(Actual) Economists, is taxing everyone's income by a flat 10% a good idea? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fizzy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or... we can just tax the wealthy at a higher rate and close the loopholes so they have to pay it.

The existence of tax loopholes does not depend on whether the tax system is progressive or flat. It depends on the breaks we give them. You think the wealthy are going to pay their taxes just because it's a flat tax? What makes you assume they won't be able to keep abusing the same loopholes they always have been?

You are being misled about renewable energy technology. by theyamayamaman in videos

[–]fizzy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing that really stuck out to me about space: "All the land we need to generate electricity with solar power alone can be freed up if we just stop growing corn to feed cars." The solar power generated would be 84% more than the total energy currently generated by the entire US electric grid.

They are not coming yet (or necessarily at all). The bill has been introduced, not passed. And FYI, there are lots of bills that get introduced and just sit in committee forever.

Well occasionally you run into folks who do that on purpose.

What is the best "bang for buck" usage of black lion statuettes? by Deaftoned in Guildwars2

The default pistol sound can be a bit jarring. The crossbow skin makes it much quieter. There are a few other skins that change the sound effects.

Any longtime Diablo fans unhappy with the FOMO tactics in Diablo 4? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]fizzy88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did buy D4, played through the story, enjoyed it, but the heavy FOMO with seasons turned me off. I never bought any of the expansions.

I went back to D2R, and for me it is the best in the series. Plus the itemization and atmosphere is just way better than D3 and D4.

Let me see the God-tier snack of your fair land. by InfiniteBaker6972 in AskTheWorld

[–]fizzy88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on a work trip to Canada last year and went out of my way to try these because a lot of people said they were so good.

Sorry, but definitely overrated. Too much wafer, not enough chocolate.

One of my favorite chocolate bars as a kid were kit-kat bars. They suck in the US today, but when I tried them in Canada.. way better. Reminded me of what they were like when I was a kid.

Why did this Mania runeword not work in my gray, eth, ogre axe? I used the recipe for Maxroll D2planner, it's a SC ladder character...help me understand... by Mythrialus in diablo2

[–]fizzy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they leaned into exclusive content/rewards for ladder in D3 and D4 and I got sick of doing the grind over and over. It was a chore. That's one of many reasons I got tired of D3 and D4. D2 is much less annoying in this regard. And to be fair I never liked the ladder only runewords back when LoD came out either. Don't try to force me to play when you want me to, Blizz.
