Oh and VAC does nothing about it I see, thanks for your response

I have 1000+ hrs in CS and I'm glad VAC exists. I've seen tons of hackers get vac banned, thank goodness. I'm confused...like I know VAC isn't perfect but how does it ruin TF2 specifically?

I was on that ship but left before the accident, I'm pretty positive it was sleep deprivation. The schedule changed at sea frequently so you couldn't get used to what little sleep pattern you were getting. We also had surprise drills that can happen literally any time of day or night. Longest I stayed awake was 72 hours straight.

I knew you served ads :)

I'm not saying you're hiding anything it's just easy to see why you have this opinion. My example was not outlandish and is relevant. Vs the argument you made which was a purposefully dishonest analogy.

My hope is not to state that ads are evil as I don't believe that, just to point out that you are a person who serves ads, I also never state any of the opinions or beliefs you say I did, Have a nice day!

I myself don't wish or want free content, I can create my own entertainment without the need of a large media corporation or a keyboard warrior spoon feeding me.

I don't think comparing Journalism to Netflix or ESPN is relevant since they provide quality entertainment (at least in the minds of their base) vs Journalists who stretch out 2 bits of searchable information into a 10 page ad puzzle full of psychological poking.

Yes, most journalism is less valuable than the critically acclaimed fantasy horror Stranger Things. This doesn't mean Journalism is less important or that good journalism doesn't exist. Honestly it's crazy to me Journalism doesn't see more critique. Most just sensationalize, fearmonger, and point fingers.

The NYT is from the US so framing the question this way is not surprising and drawing the comparison of someone who can't afford NYT but knows what docker is, is interesting without your addition.

There are other things we could mention like, maybe there are many people who can afford NYT but still don't want to pay for it, but that's not what we were talking about. That being said, thanks for the reminder about other countries... I'm sure everyone on HN forgot about globes.

Majority of the internet is your "leave the webpage" example so by allowing shady ad tech sites to use these tactics you're just promoting the proliferation of a shittier internet. Being subjective in this case makes no sense to me unless you have skin in the game so I'll assume you do.

As an exaggerated albeit relevant comparison; this is like saying you don't want police even though there are lots of criminals, you can always just walk away if things look suspicious. This assumes you have the eye to determine what is suspicious. I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about crime in the first place.

Umbrella Term is a optimistic description for something so nebulous and used so frivolously. It is more commonly used as "anything I don't like is woke" and "any opinion that doesn't match mine is censoring me."

At least you're a SWE :)

Recently I've met more Ashe's than Aidan's

I had a friend who worked high up at Lync before they were sold. Microsoft flew him out and threatened lawsuits to coerce them to sign and play ball.

I was working at Microsoft during the switch to Skype for Business and the employees were dogfooding the beta. Terrible time to be alive.

This was my reaction; additionally, they believe few people will notice or complain.

I don't intend for my one example to fit all issues. Just trying to point out there is more we can do than rely on government legislation.

They weren't referring to Social Media Platforms, they were referring to the previous poster talking about AirBnB and Gambling specifically.

There are many mechanisms we can rely on, like teaching someone the tradeoffs of a dangerous decision.

All gambling for children? Or?

You did not link evidence to my statement being false, you posted a Hungrybox video of him complaining about his tournament issues he's having with Nintendo. Current Smash Tourney problems with Nintendo does not supplant Nintendo's history with emulation.

I simply stated Nintendo doesn't care as much, which is true, I didn't say "Nintendo absolutely doesn't care and won't do anything ever unless it's Switch related." I'm uninterested in replying any further since it's not getting across that I'm not diminishing the Smash issues, it's clear you're passionate and Nintendo are being real arseholes for sure.

I appreciate you drawing attention to more nintendo beef but historically they have cared more about protecting copyright for current consoles.

You say the smash community has suffered for a decade (dramatic) but they still made Project M on GameCube and delisting Dolphin from steam is not that big of a deal. I don't need to get into Smash Tournament drama to tell you this with certainty and I have all the knowledge and history to back up this claim.

I've played Smash competitively for 2 decades and have been emulating since 1998 so I know the history better than most; my statement was not opinion. I'm not saying they absolutely don't care about older emulation but they care much more about their bottom line e.g. Yuzu.

Nintendo isn't as hard on tracking people emulating older systems, emulating their most modern system is where they start to get particularly whiny.

One example I've seen is a less-than-savory company make a purposefully confusing KYC process after purchase of their service/product to prevent users from realizing they're being scammed and are kept in KYC hell hoping to get verified when they never will. Time to start an ISP...

I refuse to say smishing aloud.

Tishing would be more easily inferred than Smishing if they want to keep the phishing part for recognition. I can't find or think of any other examples in English where we combine a word with an acronyms first 2 letters pronounced phonetically.

Lollercopter?

Reminds me of that person protesting a Beer Festival in Golden Colorado. On their sign they stated they wanted to keep alcohol activities out of Golden but the city is home to Coors Brewing Company.

Only lamestains say cob nobbler you wack slack.

There are other emulators besides Yuzu and they would still exist if Yuzu didn't.

"The statistics"

That's my argument, #1 news iOS app means nothing

In the same vein, it doesn't mean it hasn't collapsed because you still use it.

Copium

I'm not disagreeing, but I believe it is a better use of ones time to prioritize things that spark personal significance rather than attempting to quantify/compare meaningfulness universally.

I would never listen to someone who proposes reallocating high-level talent resources as an important and solvable problem where the solution is, tell those people their passions are a waste of time. I also don't believe this person understands the talent market as they quote the "Many of the most talented artists of our time work in advertising," nonsense. Yes their are smart people working in advertising, but it's no deeper than that. There are other spaces and industries that have more brilliant minds.

The truth is, you don't know with certainty if working on VR technology is more meaningful or not.

I've seen websites that automate all article creation from social media posts where they don't even check if the title generated makes sense.

Conversely, characters like Carl Clover in BlazBlue. The difficulty of controlling 2 characters seperately but in tandem is challenging but not difficult to input inherently.

Once you get used to the input style the complexity makes the character and thus the game more fun and interesting.

I use a bag of coins I've collected, each coin represents whatever card I need at the time.
