Agreed that it seems ridiculous and backwards. But are these sessions being run on servers? If so, Nintendo is crazy, and you can skip the rest.

Some BR games are free, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is not.

Great, I guess? But the power they wield versus their father, is not equivalent. So unless they are out there calling him out, they aren’t doing anyone any good. Even doing that, wouldn’t stop him, but at least it would be clear they are against him and his actions rather than beating around the Kavanaugh bush.

This is all stupid. But for those interested, Ed’s takes seem very much like the antagonists from King of Kong (Billy Mitchell, et al) where they move the goalposts whenever someone threatens their record. Everyone benefits from advances in technology (fuel efficiency, top speed, performance), spotting, and…

What gets really old is having people dissect the description of events by a victim of a traumatic situation, and trying to say what did or did not happen and why it is not believable.

You’re right. It is not that hard to make a single call. Should we expect the nurse dealing with the effects of a global pandemic, possibly being infected herself, and separating herself from her family in order to keep them safe, to make such a call?

I dont.

I think you are replying to the wrong person.

To the people defending the HOA, you are boot kissers of the worst kind. These are not normal circumstances. No one is trying to park an RV for shits and giggles here. And regardless of the motive, would it be that difficult for the HOA to inquire first? Is it really so impossible, in the middle of a pandemic, to…

Until they start tying accounts to hardware, the biggest threats will continue.

Something does feel off about these allegations to me. But that is probably how people felt about initial allegations against Cosby or their favorite celeb or relative. Not that Biden falls into that camp, exactly, just that if these are true, they would change the discussion about Biden. But because of what we know…

I don’t mean this as a dig on the article, but this is unsurprising. Not only because this is all FPS and BR games now. But also because, presumably, this game reused a LOT of code, same engine, etc. as prior COD games, right?

I agree with you. But I doubt most cheaters see the joy of the struggle. Surely you have seen these people in real life, right? All that matters is being on top, the work getting there does not. One would like to think people would grow out of this. But, some don’t, and even those that do are replaced by new cheaters.

So, PR.

To be clear, it is the administration that is that is pushing the BS. Large portions of the government are doing as they should be. It’s just that the administration is the top of the heap and mouthpiece. Unfortunately.

I resorted to some internet hyperbole, admittedly. But what is your concern? No sarcasm.

As you note, because we treat them like experts/gods for everything else, all the time. So why wouldn’t we now?

I wonder if all of the smaller or less well-funded teams will make it through a non-season.

...a fully anonymous list that targets boys with zero requirement for evidence, especially since “suspicious” was a valid criteria for the list.

Exactly. Everything else should be pushed out to actual police. I’m not sure how much better that would be but at least it would be slightly more public.
