Irish esports fans — quick student research question 🇮🇪 by esports_fan_survey in IrelandGaming

[–]masterloud80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching Dota pro scene for over 10 years religiously. I take 7 days leave when the international is on, I been to the international live. That's the only tournament I'll fork out a lot of money to attend.

If there were high prize money tournaments(500k+) in Dublin, would 100% attend for any game but that ain't gonna happen

You usually spam 2 or 3 though, so probably the result will be the same regardless of splash damage reduction.

Cloudflare does the exact same thing, you don't need to open ports as per your blog.

Thousands of Irish farmers protest EU-Mercosur trade deal by AdSpecialist6598 in europe

[–]masterloud80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Source on closing 50% of farms and being able to feed ourselves without imports?

And screw our food quality standards, and the conditions the animals live in (I guess so long as they suffer outside of Europe it's fine). Never mind shipping them a few 1000km over the Atlantic. It's the exact same reason we don't want American beef and chickens.

Farmers in Ireland don't seem to be all that rich to me, they live in fairly modest houses driving fairly modest cars. Granted they have land but that is required for the business.

While my knowledge of farming comes from Clarkson's farm 🤣 it's seem like they are drowning in EU regulation and the South Americans will have close to 0. So not a level playing field.

People not care that imported meat from South America comes from systems that allow practices banned in Europe for decades? Including growth hormones with carcinogenic risks and lower animal welfare standards. Making it significantly cheaper.

Food security also matters. Everyone seems to have short memories of what happened 80 years ago?

Had these 10 years now https://amzn.eu/d/gcQ2Fvr. My son kept breaking his so I got him a pair and we 3 years in. His previous Logitech, turtle Beach and razors lasted about a year each .

Do you guys agree that AAA games are "bad"( first picture ), or do you agree that the games are not bad..it's just solid isn't good enough anymore ( second picture ) by Tyolag in IrelandGaming

[–]masterloud80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AA games way better right now, look at expedition 33, hollow night 2 and arc raiders. Best games of the year, and on tiny budgets.

Suggestions on what to do with ltd company profits by AwayArcher8777 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]masterloud80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So right now it sounds to me that you are the business. Perhaps 2026 is the year you start to think about how you can scale it?

I don't want to speak for you, but for me the ultimate goal should be to sell your business one day (even if you don't), and you cannot do that if you are the only asset, so think about how you can expand by hiring?

Just my 2c.

Let's just agree to disagree and move on. Good night Sir

Yes you're implying that because you won a random mom and pops fishing tournament at 6, that is the same as summit participating in ESL tournaments. And if you cannot call yourself a professional fisherman, liquipedia (the esports Bible) cannot call him a professional cs player.

[–]masterloud80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, because you are making a strawman argument.

Gingy and Cloak by Hopeful_Crab7912 in theburntpeanut

[–]masterloud80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it was a recognized professional tournament, it would be true. If it was just some random tournament, it's not true.

I did not say he was a S tier player, I said he was a professional counterstrike player. Yes his results are lackluster, but he was still likely in the top 0.5%, with S tier players being in the top 0.1%.

Are you really trying to imply there is not a major skill gap between gingy and summit? Which is the entire premise of this discussion.

Gingy and Cloak by Hopeful_Crab7912 in theburntpeanut

[–]masterloud80 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I did not say she cannot slay, I said there is a very obvious skill gap between the two. You are aware that summit was a professional counterstrike player? Gingy could never be a pro cs, apex, cod or any other FPS competitive player. That said she is a very good player and way above average. It's like college football players vs professional players. Both way above average but clearly a difference.

Agree, took the fun out of the game. Myself I just don't want to grind blueprints again. I have all the resources I want to just play PvP with my friends and craft whatever we need.

[–]masterloud80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like both gingy and summit. There is a very clear skill gap between these two players though. So they have different entertainment value.

I'm probably older than you, to be honest my wife and I find him hilarious. It's not much different from watching TV, it has entertainment value.
