I guarantee you, he only did it because he thought it was a bad business deal.

All of these "people" would literally make machines to rape children if they believed it would make them more money.

We need to stop giving them power.

Didn't NATO/US/Western countries give security guarantees to Ukraine for Ukraine giving up their nuclear arsenal?

How did that turn out?

Can we disallow posts with "BREAKING" in the title?

The boobs really sell it.

Sunk-cost fallacy.

Trumpers don't want to admit to themselves or each other that they've been duped, so they just keep digging their hole deeper.

Fuck copyright and patent laws and the morons/scumbags who support them.

Sure you can. People richer than us will just make less profit.

There's not really a reason for games to be taking so long to make other than too many cooks in the corporate kitchen.

Back when studios were run by the developers, great games came out on almost a yearly basis. If they had 2 years? You're almost guaranteed a classic.

Now that the business school people make all the decisions and there's so much money being wasted on unnecessary positions in these companies, customers are left out to dry.

This would be a bit too much communism for my taste.

I recommend ignoring the ideologies of communism/capitalism.

Focus on real solutions to real problems, pragmatism.

That's pretty cool.

I'm all for reducing friction between nations.

Fuck Iran.

Remember, their country shut off access to the internet so we wouldn't see how bad it was as it was happening.

Iran sucks and its leaders need to go.

Why use this over Matrix?

Texas is a shithole and they only people who don't realize it have lived there their entire lives.

I work in tech too, and I'm convinced almost none of these abusive tactics are the result of incompetence.

The abuse is the point. They need to constantly remind people who is in charge.

I'm all for taxing the wealthy and using that money to fund public services.

Probably Overwatch and PUBG.

Both games started out with huge potential, and then proceeded to squander all of it as time went on.

Overwatch was kind of doomed from the beginning. The 6 player limit is really oppressive and makes the game feel more like 'work' than 'fun.' As time went on, the game became less fun because MMR meant you were always playing with people around your skill level. Some people like that. I don't. I want to see myself getting better by having more fun killing others who aren't on my level. I don't care about some symbol that says I'm in a higher league or whatever. Then they decided to drop the player count down to 5 and I literally haven't been back since.

PUBG just went in the completely wrong direction. It's like they knew the right answers, and specifically chose the wrong ones. 8-man squads, TDM, 50v50 wars; that's really where the game shined. Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to play any of that with any consistency.

I'd wager the main reasons these games failed (for me) is that they don't allow people to host their own servers. Valve never got to make retarded decisions with TF2 because they always had to compete with a playerbase that could tweak the game to suit their needs.

TF2 still holds up to this day. As it turns out, having fun in games is more fun than taking them seriously.

Useful idiots go crazy

The West's power and influence stretches far beyond its borders and populations.

Just like Israel.

Yeah, you're still part of the problem.

This is the exact rhetoric that got us into this mess. It's what won Hillary the nomination and handed the presidency to Donald Trump.

Until people like you learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them, the republican party won't be going away because there will always been an argument that the democrats don't actually care about the working class.

Unfortunately, I expect you to respond as long as I do, so I will have to give you the last word.

Don't take my lack of a response as accepting that you're correct. You're most likely going to peddle some "baby-steps," moderate bullshit while saying that's not what you're doing or that it's the best path forward even though it hasn't been working.

Goodbye.
