Out of curiosity, have you been a moderator before?

It’s a fairly thankless job that you volunteer for. Most people aren’t doing it out of some lust for power, they’re just doing their best and sometimes make bad calls.

Are there shitty ones out there? Sure. But many of them are just trying to make nice spaces for their interest.

It felt like he was taking offense to throwing in the South African thing. But I could be wrong.

There’s a part of a highway near Denver where it’ll tell you to take a “slight right to stay on highway”, and there is literally no possible turn or off ramp there.

School isn’t just learning the stuff in the classes. It’s the shared experience too. It’s the teachers holding you accountable for learning.

“Going to school” is a very different thing than just trying to learn on your own. Self motivation and time are a huge barrier for a lot of people. I think the OP was imagining being able to go to school every day and just take classes for free with other people also interested.

It’s honestly a pretty fun game! It is Overwatch+Dota and the way they’ve done landing/farming with last hits and denies in a shooter is really interesting.

Team fights are fairly chaotic and I can’t tell what’s going on, and honestly there might be too much complexity, but the moment to moment gameplay is really solid. Movement and shooting feel great, combat is chunky and satisfying, and comebacks are semi common.

IDK if I have the desire to get into another MOBA like this, but this is unique enough to enjoy playing with friends for awhile.

It’s really great, isn’t it? I tried to get some friends into it but it seems like I’m the only one who enjoys rhythm games. I really like The Magician I think

It’s definitely hard to know when being overly enthusiastic ends and when love bombing begins. I agree that it isn’t always necessarily malicious but, as with most everything, clear open communication is the solution.

I hit a deer while listening to the band Deerhunter. Was a bit surreal.

It works a bit better if you put a little bit of wood glue on the tip of each toothpick before driving it into the hole. Definitely a great trick!

This is definitely my experience, even as a fairly social ADHD haver. I think sometimes I come on too strong because I’m trying to figure out and meet people’s expectations, though I think I’m not great at evaluating what exactly those are and heavily overestimate a lot.

Isn’t the game locked to 60?

So a lot of Java hate I think is mostly in jest.

Personally, Java was the programming language that I had to use for my first two years of college. It’s how I learned OOP, data structures, and algorithms. I had to use Eclipse, which at the time was AWFUL (and maybe still is, no idea). I remember it being semi-normal for it to take over a minute to launch on my (gaming) PC.

Later on, as I learned other languages and got a job, I just haven’t really had a reason to go back to Java, and most of my memories of it are from being annoyed at Eclipse and needing to implement Quicksort in it. I’m sure it’s a great language and I bet it’s a lot better and more convenient now. It’s just kinda trendy and weirdly nostalgic to hate on it in a half-serious way :) .

Sure, but Sony has shown that they’re happy to release some of their exclusive on PC. The Horizon and God of War games both got decent PC ports.

A huge portion of Fromsoft fans are on PC. It would be a day one purchase for pretty much all of them. That’s been the frustration.

Isn’t the price matching requirement only when you’re giving Steam keys as part of the purchase from the other store? If Steam is going to permanently host and distribute the games, it’s only fair that the price on their store matches the other places you’re selling keys

Java has a lot of advantages, but that’s a crazy statement. I feel like literally everyone complains about basic stuff like public static void main, over reliance on factories and OOP, and just how much code you need to generate for some basic stuff. I’m not a Java hater, but I am glad I don’t have to use it anymore.

Yeah, we really don’t notice all the bullshit our parents deal with when we’re kids.

Reminds me of Drunk Jeff Goldblum

He’s great at asking questions too.

This was a great fun silly slasher story to play through with friends. It ran pretty badly on my PS4 at the time, so it would be fun to play it with a decent frame rate.

Pretty annoying that they’re still requiring a PSN account though…

This is a really common experience for a ton of VR gamers. The thing I remember the most is how white text on a black background (usually my phone) made it seem like the text was really 3D and coming out at me. It fades away but I’m sure we’re going to find out some interesting things about the brain from this phenomenon.
