A lot of people learn this lesson sadly. It isn’t “sexy” to brag that you have a gold / platinum rated high quality PSU. People would rather add a “Ti” or a “10” to their graphics card and then lose it all when it goes. Same reason why I have an UPS for home PC - sure, overvoltage, undervoltage, electrical noise probably won’t harm the PC. But why risk it? Also having a battery to save your shit, or buy more electricity online when you run out on a prepaid meter is cool (speaking from experience, happened to me like 10 times already lol)

And then two years down the line you lose all the data - the pictures, the savegames, the porn collection. Drives are the one thing that shouldn’t be bought used

Manipulative is in quotes because it is a direct quote. Slam isn’t a direct quote.

Would / could it get you into trouble if a boss looked over your shoulder and saw you reading it? If yes, it’s NSFW.

They won’t be able to the second someone reports them and a spotlight is put onto them. It does apply. Devs just don’t give a shit and admins are hosting what’s available.

It does now and for quite a while

TF2 has matchmaking even in casual

You wouldn’t need skill to win. That’s the point.

Yes, it is.

It isn’t a very wild guess it’s been empirically proven. Hopping on a low winrate account just makes you a god with impenetrable armour and perfect accuracy. There have been people going through statistics on this. People who say “nah it doesn’t exist” are either low winrate, or haven’t played the game much.

Plenty from World of Tanks, going as far as match fixing to keep people in the “ideal for monetization” range of winrate. Shots literally going away from tanks you were aiming for. Spotting working differently. The patents for matchmaking they had to specifically foster that environment.

Except in your comparison, lemmy is the other person you brought up. Wishing death on people and calling for a genocide is deplorable and will rightfully get you ostracized in society. The fact that you don’t see it as that just proves my point further.

Or maybe I should check where I’m going. A lot of people don’t like to hear “wishing for genocide or someone’s death is a bad thing”.

Wdym they give perma bans too.

It’s not a drop in a bucket, it’s about the same if not worse.

Wow, they almost got close to the arbitrary bans you get on lemmy
