It’s barely a hero shooter - it’s just a MOBA

Changing the voting age is one change, but making voting non compulsory for some voters starts to get messy. It would also be an easy thing for a government to tweak to reduce youth voter turnout by shifting that number around.

FYI, you can go directly to messenger.com and avoid seeing the rest of the site entirely. You can also deactivate your Facebook account and leave Messenger (mostly) functional.

Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the “leader” in “AI” this time, but that doesn’t make it a Good Operating System.

I couldn’t find anything like this other than very expensive portable options last time I checked, and unfortunately Android Tablets are surprisingly hard to use for the purpose.

In some places Messenger is the default communications platform, more so than SMS or WhatsApp or iMessage or whathaveyou.

“my law…” “my study…”

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also… junk?

Lack of Improvements

The road tools alone are enough for me.

sh*t textures and graphics

Were we playing the same CS1?

sh*t modding support

It’s hard to make a call on that until it’s released, but what we’ve seen looks a lot better, including mod support for other PC storefronts and community-made assets planned for console. Plus, half the mods I’d need for CS1 are integrated, un-needed, or replaced in CS2. Some modders have access to the game already and are saying positive things.

Performance, though… yeah. I can’t play this game yet.

To solve confusion, Counter-Strike will be referred to as C-S2, and Cities Skylines will be C:S2. Any other games with an acronym CS2 will have to pick another punctuation mark, such as C/S2.

Yeah, that’s my #1 reason to not use it. I’ve got a long list of reasons to dislike OneNote, but that’s the big one.

They’ve also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I’ve seen.

“promotions” telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don’t have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.

without ads.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad

If the claims in the article are true and can scale, that’s actually a really cool technology.

Some people with early access have been playing on computers below the reccomended specs and been okay. Teddy Radko has a 3060 and i7-4770 and is getting good enough performance.

People on reddit are absolutely losing their minds over the lack of steam workshop support, but if Paradox wants stuff to be available to console users and all PC users, it’s really the only option.

My concern is how it’ll interact with Steam Proton on Linux, and just generally if their mods platform will be any good.

Bad experience overall - slow and laggy. We did two lessons on it for a course and then swapped to something else (I forget what)

If you’re using Windows, then get PowerToys, it has FancyZones for customisable window snapping. The closest thing I’ve found on Linux is gTile.

I do have experience using it, and it’s not worth looking at BigBlueButton.
