    SMNC

    You do realize that this is how uber killed SMNC right? Their shit balance made it unplayable unless you were an enforcer or striker

    well I guess I'm not in the leaver pool so I guess this game just has a fuckton of leavers on the bright side, my win rate (especially with meepo) is going up

    how do I know when I am no longer in the low priority pool I quit one game about 10 months ago and another about 2 months ago but I still have leavers in about 75% of my games I just wanna play some meepo

    SMNC

    it was a really good game devs have no idea how to balance and enforcers (heavies: gunner, cheston, tank, robo hobo) are retardedly broken they introduced a bunch of cosmetics and basically abandoned the game in favor of their new kickstarter thing it's a shame it had so much potential it was perfect but it didn't have any players but as soon as they got a bunch of players through the TF2 promo, they managed to get rid of them all with shit balance and a ton of cosmetics

    Dota General

    it wasn't a port, it was a mod so I'm guessing it was either a paladin or a blood knight (technically they were the same I guess but one was a blood elf while the other was a member of the alliance) edit: yeah it was a dwarf paladin and almost all of the models were regular things from WC3 you guys are underestimating the sheer size and scale of WC3 and its mods

    it is objectively a very poor engine port "blindness is no impairment against a smelly enemy" - Lee Sin also is your avatar a blood knight from WC3?

    As much as I want to like Dota 2, it is the single worst AAA game I have ever played from a technological perspective and I feel like it gets worse every time I play

    Looking for a Prebuilt to buy this summer.

    helpful hints anyone who says "NVidia > AMD" is a retarded brainwashed fanboy who learned everything about computers from "99999% faster than the competition so you can n0sc0pe n00bs" facebook ads anyone who says "AMD > NVidia" is only slightly more reasonable same with "Intel > AMD" because Intel has a fucking monopoly (literally) and they use plenty of unethical business practices (double literally) helpful hint: there is no 100% accurate indicator of performance (sorry, but a $200 3 GHz processor is not always faster than a $400 2.9 GHz processor) other than benchmarks before you pick something out, look up "<model name> benchmark" and look at the results the best sites for this are tomshardware and notebookcheck (I hope I got that second one right) make sure you get an 80+ certified modular PSU if you can only buy two high-quality parts, it should be the motherboard and the PSU if either of those fucks up, you can fuck up your entire system you're welcome

    For those of you who get Spring break...

    I actually was planning on making signs but they were probably just going to say things like "GOD HATES TEEMO" and "TERRANS GO TO HELL" but I'm not very creative so it will probably never get done

  19. If you're not special, then that means everyone else is doing the same thing If everyone is using adblock, then all ad-supported services go out of business It's really that simple
  20. You've posted three things on this page alone that try to justify piracy If you don't think you're special, then you're just plain wrong and you either don't understand how the tragedy of the commons works or you don't understand how business works, and you're probably still wondering why you can't get everything for free Edit: And something I just realized You seem to realize what's wrong about not paying for a movie theatre but the whole "not costing them any money" argument works just as well for sneaking into a movie theatre In order to see a movie, you pay them money In order to watch a YouTube video, you watch an ad Watching a video without watching an ad is the same as watching a live film without paying
  21. Just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it's right They are offering a service at no monetary cost It still costs them and benefits you If you are benefiting from it without doing something to benefit them (in this case, simply disabling adblock) Then you are essentially making them pay to do something that benefits you If everybody does this, then you are going to end up killing the industry or service and discouraging anybody from providing entertainment without a monetary fee The reason that it is unethical is because you are not any more deserving of free entertainment than anybody else, and thus you are doing something that could end up punishing everybody because you are selfish For example, my elementary school had an event where you could get out of class and see a bunch of adorable animals And although it was free, you were strongly encouraged to bring some kind of item for the animal shelter that brought them such as dog or cat food, pet toys, a monetary donation, etc Fortunately, most people brought something and it ended up being a success But what if every child thought that they were special and ended up going without bringing anything? They would have just cost the animal shelter like $500 because they were trying to do something nice Then the animal shelter would never visit a school again and the school would never have any free events again It's not illegal It doesn't have a tangible harm But it's still unethical The proper approach is to say "I know I'm hurting everybody by doing this but I don't give a fuck" rather than saying "No, you're wrong, I'm special and I deserve to get stuff for free" I use adblock on YouTube too I know it's ultimately destructive but I'm not going to apologize I'm not going to justify it but fortunately I'm intelligent enough to not argue with people and claim that it is fine
  22. You're all wrong Piracy/adblock was never theft and whoever argued that it was is wrong Regardless, you're still unfairly denying somebody profits and costing them money (video hosting is not cheap) without paying anything back (adblock) so no, it is not theft, but it still does come at a cost

    now I'm not trying to insult anybody here, but does this qualify as shitposting?

    Rule Updates

    Is there a way to distinguish between lighthearted jests/humorous jabs and hateful insults/spiteful remarks? I think everyone here doesn't mind the former, while the rules are targeted towards the latter and end up eliminating both
