  • I offered criticism because that's what I had with the activity you were promoting. Yes, it was my opinion. Did the words "I don’t believe" not tip you off? I then proceeded to explain why I had it, yes. Generally, comments people make are their own opinion.

    however weird or dumb that might be

    Or in other words

    Ok that’s a very good argument

    I'm sure I would lose, arguments only work on the willing.

    Anyway, this conversation has reached its end, byeee.

  • The people that end up cashing in from those scams are the same people that end up supporting Trump & Musk.

  • He's literally doing the same thing the platform owners are, just in the other direction. Well, except for the blocking part (unless you count shadowbans), but you can just lower the rating score to very low, same thing.

  • Social networks are crazy. It's like they appeared and suddenly journalistic integrity does not matter anymore because your easily shaped feelings is equal to their fact.

  • I can't be blamed for comprehension issues on your end. And why would I lie? There are aspect of it I did enjoy, and there are aspects I criticize.

  • You’re spouting literal in-game billboard propaganda.

    Sure, bud, totally not the case of you misframing my comment as it.

    What exactly is the point of the game again according to you? Who’s playing right enough for you?

    You must have failed to read the part where I am not playing Eve anymore. The game is an addiction hook with a lot of (but not all) game mechanics that really aren't that good.

  • Ok gaslighter

    Yeah, the US elections have a high chance of losing, largely due to large disinformation campaigns not unlike the one your comment forms a part of.

  • You've suddenly brought up "hate mining" and "elitist" out of nowhere, when all I did was make observations about the activity. It is not inherently fun IMO. You also bring out "no engagement", which is another gross exaggeration of minimal engagement. And if you think the gankers aren't mining, you really haven't gotten out of your solar system to explore. You seem to be stuck within the bubble even within the game, and you will be socially manipulated for it.

    I haven't played Eve in years, and have only "ganked" in a few minor instances and enough to realize that it also wasn't a fun mechanic, it was just exploiting the uninformed and the careless within the statistics, and it didn't so much require effort or skill so much as preparation. There's also quite a bit of a similarity between the dopamine hook the people who gank have to the people who mine, although there's a lot more sadism as well.

  • The people who are most successful don't just stick to one defined job, they min-max to the extreme. They can be taking down freighters with their multiboxed destroyers one day, and they can be multibox moon mining with orcas the following day.

    I don't believe there is anything fun about mining. It's just an activity that when you believe you've sufficiently secured yourself enough you can do with relative minimal investment in it. Usually the people who mine the most aren't enjoying Eve, they are enjoying the conversations and the Netflix they are watching on the side. About the only thing tickling the dopamine with mining is getting to think you are getting ahead from doing a comparatively less stressful activity for longer than other people doing riskier activities more prone to failure and doing so for less amount of time, allowing you to fantasize about how you will spend your gains in the future. Mining barely has any user involvement as a game mechanic in Eve, there are idle games with more user interaction.

  • Kamala Harris Wins Nickelodeon’s ‘Kids Pick the President’ Poll With 52% of Votes, Trump Grabs 48%

  • Don't let them fool you, they are voting for him because he's an asshole and they are assholes like them. It's an epidemic in the US.

  • I've completely stopped playing MMOs, but there is a difference when it's an online service. What I consider absurd are the publishers and developers who close down their MMOs when they still have players who have invested and will invest money into it, without even considering selling it off. I'm looking at you, NCSoft. Almost happened to Spiral Knights, and because it didn't, it's still going. It's like they think that people playing them are players that would otherwise playing their new MMOs, when the reality is they avoid those publishers that don't respect their persistence and investment.

    There's also a lot of MMO's with no subscription and plenty of whaling. But cosmetics are cosmetics, there's people that can legitimately complain about a $90 dollar mount if it gives an unfair advantage when they would otherwise not mind paying for just cosmetics. But there are people who don't mind unfair advantages in certain games either, as long as they have a F2P model and the devs have a good rep.

    Nowadays, what drives me off is the feeling of never getting the full experience, having to constantly feel that way to avoid getting caught in predatory addiction loops they implement, and just being able to buy a full, self-contained experience for what would otherwise be two months of subscription in an MMO.

  • The problem with Eve is that you will have to join a big group to enjoy it, and if you join one up, you are increasingly going to feel the pressure to whale if you are a normal player who isn't min-maxing the system. The game is chock full of whales.

  • What are you babbling about? Yes, the "tram has already been running in on a tram track were it has already run over more than 180.000 Palestinians", but the elections, which are literally up to the voters, will determine if it gets even worse and spreads to even more groups and well into fascism.

    Your comment is much more propaganda than this meme is. And no, stopping sending weapons and ammo to Israel would not have ensured a Trump defeat, they are not only separate things but it would have likely pushed AIPAC and other Israeli influence operations to join in with the Russian ones to try to influence US elections towards a Trump win. Sadly, a significant portion of the US public cares shit all about doing the right thing, and you only need to look at Reddit's worldnews to see the sort of severely skewed bubble those that would care are being entrapped in regarding the conflict.

  • TIL that Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant

    Jump

  • It's funny that the term they ingratiated themselves with is derived from expatriate, which generally is several times more concerning than the term immigrant because of how it much more closely implies relinquishing nationality. Or just from how the wording sounds - ex, or no longer being, a patriot - although it is on par with how much more "American" some people seem to consider sovereign citizens being than democrats.

    The ridiculousness of a nation of immigrants to recognize that they have their own immigrants with their own goals and obstacles has led to the absurd and abusive treatment of the people termed "Accidental Americans" outside of the US.
