“Technically” a Bowie? He’s as much a Bowie as a person can be, no need for technicalities

When they make X-Men: Inferno, Joe Dante should direct

Thanks to the standard mouse-on-right setup most people have, we are raising a whole generation of men who are proficient at masturbating southpaw

to clarify, opinions can’t be defamatory, by definition (as long as you aren’t implying undisclosed facts, eg “I’ve looked into the guy’s finances, and while I can’t go into detail, hooo boy is that guy corrupt)

good catch, thanks. Still pretty weak sauce... Implying that someone is “thuggish,” or “mafialike” is classic opinion, and if that’s defamatory, FOX news would need to shut down

Apparantly it’s defamatory to refer to two brothers as “brothers”....ok

That one’s a real danpemic

“Govern yourself accordingly”

Yes, the commentators can ease some of these problems, but they can only do so much

The real problem that I see, is that MOBAs are not fun to watch, and that is the genre that seems to be being pushed, hard. Counterstrike and Halo, ok, possibly - but LOL, HOTS, etc - these are not good esports to try to break into the mainstream with.

So, apropos of nothing, you started watching a MOBA and found it interesting? But not interesting enough to play it until a few years later, despite it being free to play?

I’m talking about what’s the norm among gamers. If you don’t play the MOBA, or at least SOME MOBA, it’s going to be boring to watch. Did you play other MOBAs when you started watching DOTA 2? Did you have friends who played who got you interested and watching? Probably. But to your average gamer who has no connection

Even if that’s true. you think that’s the norm?

So? More that that play MMOs daily, and those would also be boring to watch - as you admit below when you said

Yea, probably. But they’re going to fail because those MOBAs are not fun to watch by people who don’t play them.

There would also be lots for the commentators to talk about.

My prediction is that they begin with Rocket League. It’s a great game, very fun to watch, and easily understandable to the non-gamer. Plus it might get some crossover from sports fans.

When I was a kid, I wanted to stay up later than my bedtime to watch TV and whatnot, and my dad usually looked at the microwave clock to check the time. So I once punched in 8:45 into the microwave and didn’t hit “start,” so it appeared at a glance to be the time. It worked, and my dad still tells that story today

This is a crazy coincidence but I also just got myself a training lock and started learning how to pick - I have already gotten pretty good at a couple padlocks that have security pins. It’s a super fun hobby, and a cheap one at that (I asked everyone I know if they had old padlocks lying around that they had lost the
