I’ve yet to see it myself, but I appreciate Blizzard’s hard stance on these idiots. Doing an exploit once or twice, fine, but you should quickly figure out that what you did isn’t intended.

I’m sorry but are you a game developer? Patches and fixes don’t get made easily. If you change one piece of coding you can screw something else up entirely or maybe even break the game. On top of that they have to test the patch then send it to get approved by companies like MS and Sony. You can’t just drop a patch…

Toe pick!

Plus they seem in service of a different goal than ‘winning’ the game—

I think speedrun exploits are kind of cool! They’re often really creative, and they require a really in-depth knowledge of a game that always impresses me. Plus they seem in service of a different goal than ‘winning’ the game—they’re sort of on their own level, in my mind.

Speedrun truthers are the woooooorrrrrrst.

It’s a generally decent place with a few infamously awful forums. There are over 800,000 individual subreddits (forums) on the site. Most of those are full of normal people looking for recipes, discussing their favorite fandoms, getting help with sewing projects, talking about their relationship problems,…

Just like the internet as a whole, reddit has its dens of scum and villainy. And just like every internet community, there is an overall subculture (And some pretty strong groupthink in places) as well as subreddit specific ‘dialects’ that one should get a handle on prior to engaging in discourse.

He was truly a great dude. Started a nonprofit to help low income families. Had four kids, and died in a freak accident playing with one of them. Sad sad sad.

But don’t make a joke about flint water. No sir, you might as well be shooting babies if you tell a flint joke

Guy 39 dies leaves behind 3 young kids and a wife what great time for shitty jokes. God I fucking hate this site some days.

One of the good guys, too. A litany of foundations and community work to his name. RIP.

As a Hokie that was in Blacksburg at the same time, I can’t say that I’ve ever heard a cross word about him. Good football player, but a better man.

Jesus, this is just so awful. He ran a foundation that helps people and he died playing chase with his son. He slipped and hit his head. What the fuck?

Shutting down a tool that everyone knows is used to steal their content = “lawyers are out of control.” Uh, no.

It depends on the individual. When I tackled my $35,000 of credit card debit I fully knew the pros/cons of both methods and went with paying off the highest rate first. I had smaller balances but their rates were lower, so they stuck around. Anyway.. I had zero problems sticking to it and paid it off in less than 2…

I already have the original (1993) Day of the Tentacle, but I’ll still get the Remastered version.

So many people complaining about supposed quality yet DoTT is an absolute classic, and the remaster was worth its full price. Broaden your horizons a little, guys. If you divide games into ‘triple A’ and ‘not triple A’ and perceive more quality and value to the former then you’re missing out on gems.

It makes “mathematical” sense to pay off the highest interest rate first. But if we were good at math, we wouldn’t have credit card debt. This isn’t about some philosophical ideal, it’s about getting visceral with the problem and changing your behavior. You have to get mad at the debt and attack it. If you had five…
