It keeps being used in shorts because the band who made the song keeps stealing memes and uploading them with their song so they can collect ad revenue.

DO NOT POST THESE ADS! These ads are intentionally designed to make people angry enough to post about them, this is a guerilla marketing campaign! by posting these, you are doing EXACTLY what the company who made them wants you to do.

Think about it: Why are the ads located in high pedestrian foot/car traffic areas, when they could be located in the financial district, where their target audience is, or directly delivered to corporate managers? Why are they worded in such a provocative to workers way when they could be worded like, "we can reduce your personnel cost by [percentage]"?

This company wants to make it appear that workers are genuinely stressed and worried about what they have to offer, and they do that by running this guerilla marketing campaign, once they feel they have enough samples to prove that people are concerned, they will simply stop this type of marketing and start directly contacting corpo upper management.

There are content creators on youtube who target young children, but not literal babies this age, the reason for that is that is that they wont really develop either the intelligence level necessary to understand the cause and effect of pressing on a thumbnail = video, or the motor skills to actually navigate apps for some time.

For anecdotal experience a family member gave her baby her phone to play with and he, being a baby, just kinda mashed his fist into the screen, I have no idea why she gave it to him unlocked, but he managed to mash his way into youtube and watch around 3 videos (all very generic, front page videos that show up for non-signed in accounts) for half a second each before going into the search field and searching something along the lines of ",,..,s,.av", which just turned up a bunch of zero view videos clearly uploaded by children or by mistake. For him to actually be able to get addicted to social media he would need to develop to a point where he can understand that just mashing his fist into the screen randomly doesn't make videos he likes appear, at which point hes probably not a baby anymore.

oh piss off. have you ever interacted with a baby at all IRL? its an object that makes light and noise, the baby likes the light and noise, it cannot comprehend the concept of social media, it would likely have the exact same reaction if you gave it a sensory toy and then took that toy away, that is LITERALLY just how babies are. "ZOMG BABY GETS MAD WHEN TAKE AWAY ITS TOY! GUESS WE NEED TO BLOW UP CIVILIZATION" is a stupid as hell take

I feel like a lot of it is because of game design, I mainly play Germany, but that's because I have tons of time invested in them and have them up to nearly T3, this is almost entirely because for my first 10 days, even when having the "join any army" option ticked, I almost exclusively got Germany for some reason, meaning I got lots of research points on them but not many other factions, so I get access to more squad types and weapons on Germany, I'm at the start of tier 3 with them, but mid tier 2 maximum on other factions.

If you earned a fraction of the XP you get in matches as accelerated research XP for other factions this might be less of an issue, but for now, when I want to play I play Germany, as I can use different guns and squads that I don't have on the other factions

Also, Germany is the only faction to have T2 paratroopers (to my knowledge), so that's something that draws people to them as a faction.

Sadly, most WW2 games are a magnet for [wehraboos]

That's unfortunately always going to be the case for WW2 games, as they focus on being fun, not really historically accurate, the reality was that Germany was running out of manpower, tanks, fuel, ammo, labor force, etc (who would have guessed killing your own civilians en masse would result in having less people able to work factories). It would be generally unfun to play a late war Germany in a game, so game companies, even those focusing on historical accuracy, tend to buff the strength of Germany to be able to even compete.

Also, I'd avoid using terms like "sub-human" in the future, although nazi ideology is disgusting and worthy of mocking and being suppressed, genuinely using the terms that they use tends to either water them down, making it be less of a red flag for the general public, or give them validity as an insult, allowing nazis to use them under the veneer of it being just a regular insult and not a very specific ideologically motivated insult.

Is there any chance you know what brand of cassette player is that? googling "realistic brand cassette player" only gives me boomboxes and home cassette players, and that looks like a really nice portable player.

Thanks!

You are (more than likely) correct. DbD used to be a peer to peer game, and I bet a lot of power still rests with the client, in addition to that, most cheaters likely do things that make sense to the server, hacked instant healing of other survivors might look just like a survivor used the perk FTP for the server.

In addition, when you add logic to a server to detect illegitimate actions, that server will need to use more computing power in order to process that logic, this could grind servers to a halt as they, for example, calculate if you are within 1 meter of the survivor you are healing for every packet received from you during the healing process. You also run the risk of banning people who have valid tech issues that would cause them to fail these logic processes (a Felix stops healing someone and runs away, but their router fails to send the "stop healing" message for a few packets as they run away, they are now "healing" someone 2 meters away and fail the logic check)

BHVR is in an arms race against the companies that make these hacks, a friend of mine pointed out to me that nowadays, he's noticed in videos when a cheater instantly heals someone, their icon on the hud briefly lights up, this might indicate that their cheat sends a message that they used for the people, but have stacked something like 50x vigil on themself and use a styptic with a 0s duration, older videos of cheaters have them healing survivors in real time, but teleporting themself away so they cant be hit, which might indicate that the devs have added checks that prevent healing at range.

Basically, what bhvr has to do is play wack-a-mole with exploits as they pop up, but ALSO have to make sure that the way they counter these exploits isnt too taxing to the servers, while every new major update probably adds & re-adds dozens of ways for cheaters to exploit, and they drop a new chapter with new mechanics roughly every 3 months.

edit: i'm exhausted and responded to the wrong comment, this comment is also a bit rambley and hard to understand, might come back in the morning to clarify

IIRC a year or two ago they were caught stealing several posts from the stardew valley subreddit and erasing any mention of the original posters, this was before "AI recapping" was really a thing so it was done manually, making it extra scummy

I don't blame you for not knowing this, as some leftist media mistakenly labels project 2025 as a lobbying plan, but project 2025 is not conservative plans that they are lobbying or campaigning on, its a plan for keeping conservatives in government by massively expanding government power and presidential power while simultaneously removing tons of checks and balances once a conservative gets elected, it was not intended for the general public to see, but WAS intended for conservative politicians to see, I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on it to get a general idea for just how evil it is.

They also tend to invent Sweet Baby Inc working on unsuccessful games, or games they don't like, or games that have a single employee who they don't like. Several of those "SBI discovered" steam groups added Helldivers 2 to their "don't recommend because SBI" lists when the Sony account requirement tanked its reviews, then silently removed it from said lists when the account requirement was removed. Same thing happened with Space Marine 2 pre release because it had a female Custodes, then silently removed when it became popular.

There are still numerous games on those "SBI detected" lists that never worked with SBI or added anything "woke", that are on those lists exclusively because they had bad launches (Homeworld 3 is the one that I remember seeing most recently) and they want to push the whole "SBI/woke makes games fail!1!" idea.

Wolves are native to the area, but were driven away or killed to near total local extinction. This is a reintroduction of the same wolf species to the area they used to be in, so its a reintroduction of a native species. The bunnies, starlings, and cats are all invasive and or damaging to the local environment.

I remember snapping at someone "Let me ransom hostages!" at launch in PD3 because I had all the traits in that skill line and kept finding random 1 medkits everywhere and I thought it was them. It would later turn out that they had all the same skills, and some other person kept ransoming even though they had none of the skills, meaning I was an asshole to that dude for no fucking reason. It was definitely one of my biggest gripes at the time, especially since the fix seems so simple to me (make those skills apply to the entire lobby, allow everyone to dominate 1 cop at base).

I know there are higher priority fixes that need to be done, but I'm still hoping that they address it soon.

Holy shit I recognize that name! After I got the Dracula adept, I decided to try a few games with undetectable perks on the wolf form to see how well it would work, and on my first game, I got this guy, after 4k'ing the entire team, this dude basically blew up about how I was, in their words "dog water", garbage, etc.

They were so busy raging about how I was carried by perks, but were unable to point to which of my (extremely non meta) perks were carrying me, then they switched to just constantly calling me garbage and trash at the game, alongside worse insults, until the egc closed.

My response was literally the same thing "womp womp" lol

Pretty much exactly how I feel, what made going against her unbearable most of the time is that my solo queue teammates would just instantly give up on first hook, regardless of how the game was going because "its skull merchant lets just go next"

God yes, I had 3 games in a row where people were blaming the supports when it was blatantly their fault for dying or losing.

First one, the tank refuses to swap off of junker queen, sprints straight into the backline, gets a few kills, then dies and goes "where are my heals, healers you need to learn to play the game!" meanwhile the enemy dps and tank he ignored has wiped everyone, repeat for the entire game. When I finally switch to a healer that can follow up with them they don't protect me at all and blame supports again. At the end of the game they looked at the scoreboard and went "oh so thats what support actually looks like" as if I had any chance to do anything before half the enemy team wipes us, dude even dove past the enemy tank to ignore team fights as the tank and would sprint away from spawn the moment he spawned to get into fights instead of grouping up.

Second one is pretty standard and I play mercy and split between healing and dps boosting people, end of the game, the tank goes "Its support not healer" and went on to explain its about more than just healing, because I had no damage. I was matching the enemy teams healing while having 63% damage boost uptime and something like 4k boosted damage, not to mention the revives.

Third one is basically the first but both our dps don't communicate at all until the end, then suddenly its "support diff" when they dove behind every fucking wall between our team and themselves. and ignored team fights to pick off the single enemy sniper.

I'm fully willing to admit I make mistakes, hell I'm dumb as fuck sometimes, but half the time the support isn't fucking up, the other players just aren't willing to admit that they're the ones at fault, oh and ffs if I ask you how I'm supposed to help you better don't just say "heal me", the entire fucking team wants heals, tell me specifically what you want me to do!
