The vortex was never supposed to be damage dealing. It was just a way to temporarily remove part of an enemies army to deal with the rest, and then when those came back you can deal with that. Many players chose to not let their army split up so they would force whatever didn’t make it into the vortex in, effectively just putting the entire fight on pause until the vortex finished.

Then the archons started jumping into the toilet. And hilarity ensued causing a match ending play when the splash damage of the archons would wipe an entire army.

Oh man I’m so tired of Google Ai telling me it’s cross platform. Not that there’s plans for it. My buddy is ready to purchase it for his ps5 and we were gonna play it over the holidays together.

Wait I thought there was already cross play?

I finally switched to Firefox when I couldn’t remove the ads on my casual browsing. Now I’m told Firefox isn’t cash money either? Wtf is going on here.

Oh. Maybe I shouldn’t share this but I never paid for a windows product. Even office when it went to 360 I stopped trying to pirate earlier versions and just switched to free open source office tools.

Windows 8 I think got authenticated when it went to 10 and I’ve just been riding that install. Still got my handy USB stick whenever I reinstall.

The shooter game is just a time killer for me. Dopamine memories from better times. The problem with using compatible apps is not all my friends will. Is datcord communicate directly with discord users? We already have a technologic dichotomy with half my friends on iPhone other on Android. Xbox vs Playstation vs pc gaming. It’s tough to get people on the same page.

How and why do you have 3 operating systems. Across how many platforms?

Besides using it since Windows 95, I’ve done everything on it. Warez, making shady software work, learning the ins and outs to keep it my way.

I thought about switching since I’ve dabbled in dual boot before, but I just f don’t want to be restarting my computer to keep switching between OS when one can do all I want with some baggage, and the other can do less without it.

Mainly for me it’s compatibility. Discord, MW3, networking between my main PC and HTPC. Online gaming with friends. Full steam support.

It just works. Switching to Linux, finding a distro that will encompass what I do, running into problems, having to fix them, or worst case scenario finding out that I can’t do the thing (mw3 or any game that has denuvo) without having to switch back to windows anyways in a dual boot I just don’t see why having Linux to do anything that I’m already doing on windows is worth it. Why have dual boot. Removing the annoying windows baggage is just not enough for me to switch.

I just now switched from chrome to Firefox because they finally implemented the removal of anti ad extensions. It was an easy switch. The UI is a little different. But I hate nothing more than ads. Despise them. And paying to remove them isn’t an option because it means I’m giving into the hostage situation.

If windows becomes unmanageable, I can’t find ANY software to remove ads, even remove windows features that I can’t live with, then I’ll consider sacrificing the few things I can’t do on Linux and move to Linux.

Wtf is this a reasonable comment to discuss a nuanced topic where a person who never used Linux and has no desire to can maybe find options to adjust and keep my windows from enshittifying?

Inb4 get linux

I get it. I just don’t want to learn a new operating system. And to make it work for most of what I use my computer for.

They bundle things into bills all the time to make the other side vote on them or look like the bad guy, by using the American citizen as hostage. I wonder why so little bills passed on helping the common man. I’m not taking the Republicans side here but it’s not black and white. Everyone’s reply to the concept of why the Republicans blocked it has been doubt, and it seems the “only” plausible explanation is that they’re all being petty and want to blame democrats for the failed FEMA response.

I’m not saying she’s right, but the position and circle she’s involved in is not exactly ideal for self reflection or voiced opinion.

I didn’t realize the hardware of an iPhone is superior to hardware of other flagship phones.

Why do you need an iPhone to get a Linux phone?

Quantity of of someone’s opinion doesn’t make it truth. My area is fine. I don’t have hundreds of tiktokers complaining about our community. And if they are, they’re yelling into thin air without any foundational issues.

Take what you see online with a grain of salt. Social media isn’t your source of accurate information. It’s how conspiracies start.

Do you believe unverified platformers and anecdotal scenarios experienced by specific people speaking of a problem as fact and accurate?

If I got on tiktok and spewed nonsensical problems and attributed them to a rat outbreak that may or may not exist, will that become truth? How many viewers will I need for it to become truth?

Unfortunately celebrity worship is influence, and influence is the key in elections. No influence, no vote. It is power. And the amount of influential power Taylor swift has is absolutely staggering. I wouldn’t be surprised if her endorsing kamala brings in tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters to register.

Clever.

Are we just making up words now?

I think the right cares about kids dying, unfortunately they care about free reign guns as well. So their efforts to deal with this problem is a sideways workaround by fighting fire with fire. Kill the perp before he kills. Add guns. Give everyone guns. Find the good guys.

All of it’s wrong, I know. But it’s not an “oh well” glance at it.

Look, I hate this dude as much as the next guy, and the statement can still be a shrug, but he said “I hate that this is a fact of life” meaning I hate that this happens, and the fact that it happens.

His idea to fix it is to bolster school security. A wrong move, but it’s not the “oh well shrug it off” that the headline is making it out to be.

I am not sure they want to win. The convention as a whole anyways. Having all 3 seats of power will now set the precedent to do something and they don’t want to do something, at least their donors don’t.
