Correct.

That’s how you call crepes. Crepes are not pancakes.

Pancackes.

“They learn the language of the stones” make no sense there, no? Are they trying to portray a shift from hardware to software?

Thailand bad ending.

There’s two kind of people: those that understand binary and those with no access to education.

ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.

The answer is clearly world of warcraft.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Wait you were serious?

Edit: people are downvoting probably because they… bought into this idea. Price per performance is a thing. These days the higher the price the more expensive the performace gets, because it prices in the premium associated with the extra budget of morons that fill a void in their life buy owning the latest whatever.

Education.

I’m not brave even when they do not fly.

People are products of their times.

You hear this a lot, but then you and look at “the times” and find arguments in favor of cultural integration dating back thousand of years.

It is true that people are the products of their time, but those times are not as radically distant moral wise as it is usually assumed.

they helped me develop a “nose” for strengths and shortcomings in someone’s skillset

In an actual human being? What kind of game are you thinking about here?

My teenage years were spent in Warcraft III. I sucked at it, I’m terrible at multitasking.

It could very well be that you were already good at that and that translated both into enjoying strategy game and succeeding as a Project Manager.

Yea, no. It surely has some positive, just like pretty much anything. But if you look at it as something you do instead of something else, you start accumulating a lot of negatives.

There’s no way any fine motor skill is somehow more developed than, say, playing almost any sport, that involves more than just two hands, and a similar thing can be said as far as teamwork and resilence goes.

On the fantasy side you have to compete with reading or, more broadly, studying.

It probably wins against binge watching b-rated tv series or idlessly watching TV, but if you get the wrong tytle you won’t bring home that much value. (Say you are stuck playing COD on a loop).

I think an healthy varied diet of activities and stimuli is still the way for getting the best out of life.

I know I guy that put Overwatch among his experiences. It was for an IT position and he contextualyzed it as some kind of acquired soft skill.

Is it depressing if you had fun?

I love my time on earth and I think it’s wild that we can experience the intricacies of a realtime mind-battle with hundred of thousands of fellow humans around the world. #noregrets

Now, World of Warcraft… 🤮

I quit League some half a year ago after 10 years of playing. I can see now how impossible it seems to play that consistently when you just consume different games rather than having a single title.

It’s a completely different experience.

As a side note, what’s up with all the people saying “I played a game”, just say what game it is, we are all nerds in here.

Tor inside a VPN is fine. Some argue it will make you stand out in comparison with other users of your VPN but that’s only a problem if they retain data, and if they do you really wish you’d have used tor…

I’ve been yelling it for the past 20 minutes, I would never bring to the conversation something untested.

Here’s proof:

You can say “caaaare”, you can say “carrrrre” and you can say “careeeee”.

You would sound like a much bigger freak in both the latter istances.

One could argue and one would be wrong.
