Why Are Conservatives Frowned Upon?
Verumae replied to Argeon's topic in Current Events, News & Politics
socially conservative ideas are completely fucking archaic and operate on the principles of enforcing arbitrary morality through puritan laws. we're not in iran or the 17th century anymore. that kind of stuff is unnecessary. it doesn't matter if you voted for romney, obama or kim jong-un: the republican party's social policy is completely fucking retarded and indefensible edit: and because this is extent of the conservative party's philosophy -

no it doesn't sorryhow do you counterplay void's ult? zeus' ult? phantom assassin in general? what kind of weakness does abbadon have that you could possibly amplify? ursa? night stalker? balance isn't essential to competitive play at the highest level. good design is. and dota doesn't have it there is no emphasis whatsoever on individual skill yeah, you can be really creative in dota and most heroes are relevant in at least one strategy but none of that matters when the most complicated play in the game is "hey use your ranged targeted aoe stun and then I'll nuke him for 1000 and they'll be out of the game" I'm not going to defend some of riot's most recent balance changes but they're still a million times better than "we've introduced a new hero whose ultimate passively gives him global attack range" what does that even mean?

Banning the Word "Bossy"

the problem is that they're not uniformly thick -- the ends are much wider than the center, creating an uneven weight distribution that just happens to put half the monitor's weight right on top of the disc drive. if you can get a piece of wood, rigid plastic, or some other sheet of strong material, you could put it on top of the xbox and then put the monitor on that so that the pressure is moved to the corners of the case, which should be fairly sturdy. ideally the plank itself would be resting on something other than the xbox, but it should get you out of a pickle

Your Place on the Political Spectrum
Verumae replied to Argeon's topic in Current Events, News & Politics
this definitely isn't the best test they did some things right (like the inclusion of more than two dimensions and the importance of issues) but a lot of questions themselves were just shitty some were poorly worded and some were just so vague and general that they were completely devoid of all meaning with that said, here is the correct result: -
the only reason to use mumble is because it's free. there is no reason to pay for a mumble server over a different chat client

fraps is incredibly straightforward and works really well. obviously it's paid but it's one of the best programs out there. if you're not willing to pay you should at least pirate it you're not going to find anything cross-platform. sorry OBS is also worth trying out at the least.

WOW NEW CRATES!!! THANK YOU VALVE!!!

IT'S HAPPENING

disregarding the obvious satire there was actually a lot of intelligent substance in that video. of course one can't expect too much from valve who literally only created the "characters" to sell hats

has anyone else realized that dota 2 is literally not a video game?

games don't have to have challenge. furthermore, "emotional challenge" is bullshit. adding a jump scare to dear esther wouldn't make it any more of a game. (disclaimer: I haven't actually played any games like this) the only requirements for a video game are video and gameplay. the auditory and literary arts are almost always implemented (usually poorly) into video games to make them more complete, but they are by no means unimportant. games like dear esther provide for a more relaxed gameplay experience that is (probably) enhanced through more artistic literature, sound, and aesthetics compared to more intensive games. it's hard to define exactly what gameplay is, so even under my definition some art games may not be included. for example, I believe that the interactivity in katawa shoujo and similar VNs is not necessarily gameplay, and that it is thus not a video game. but when you have a 3D world with objectives that's explored by a character, you have a game. it may not have good gameplay, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. the wonderful thing about video games is that almost any medium of art can be added into them -- music, film, literature, poetry, painting, theatre, video games, whatever you want. and because it is possible to add these qualities are present in the video game, they have to be considered when assessing it. maybe dear esther would have been better as a movie, I've never played it. but that doesn't mean it's any worse as a game. a video game is more than just a container for graphics and gameplay, it's a form of art. games like skyrim or portal 2 prove that. you don't have to like those games, and it's reasonable to say they have lackluster gameplay. but to say they aren't video games because there are no guns is closed-minded at best and downright ignorant at worst. in other words, a game
