Good to hear! How about the thumbsticks?

Have you had good luck with the build quality? My PS4 Scuf fell apart in about four different ways within a year of purchase, which was still enough time to go through 4 pairs of thumbsticks. I’ve heard similar stories about Scufs being great controllers until they inevitably break. Is it better on Xbox?

There’s a ton of video game sites out there. Why do you keep coming back to the one that specializes in this stuff unless you’re a masochist or you love complaining? That’s what fascinates me about people like you. I don’t watch Fox News and call them to complain about seeing racist assholes in MAGA hats.

If it were really formulaic, you wouldn’t have such a huge variance in individual skill level and team strength. You’d just apply the basic formula and everyone would be the same. But it’s in fact incredibly complex to evaluate the specific conditions and adapt the basic strategy to them. You also need the skills to…

Hasn’t there always been a key combination of ults for each meta? Nano Blade, Nano Blossom, Grav Dragons... Which meta didn’t actually revolve around enabling a key ult? Dive could work even before Genji got his blade, and sniper comps could work by getting key picks, but that’s pretty much it, isn’t it? And even…

The sexist part is not realizing that everything people wear is meant to flatter them and make them look attractive. There shouldn’t be anything different between a woman with nice breasts wearing low-cut tops and a well-toned guy wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt. But one of them is greeted with “slut, asking for it”…

You don’t see the difference between the two? Buttigieg’s background tells us something about how he would have acted, which isn’t the case in your scenario.

You know that the people who fought for gay rights on the coast weren’t all born there, right? A lot of them left their terrible homophobic Middle America families as soon as possible to go to the coast and find their brethren. Gay people have always found each other and congregated. You don’t have to stay in your…

Imagine you’re at war, there’s people shooting at you but you can’t afford to lose the battle, so you and a few fellow soldiers storm out of your hiding places and vanquish the enemy. Then you turn around and see there were thousands more of your forces hiding in the trenches, waiting till the fighting was over and it…

So well spoken, thank you.

Well, if he were shaken and disturbed by the idea that being gay is no longer a de-facto marker of outsider, radical status, he’s had at least a decade to get over it. I doubt that’s what at the heart of his problem with Mayor Pete now. If you’re curious about my interpretation, I wrote it in a comment replying to the…

The point of the piece is not to criticize the type of gay person he is (though it does that). It’s that the ways Pete Buttigieg has chosen to be gay speak about the kind of president he would be.

How does that make any sense at all? Of course Peck expects assimilated gays to be embraced by mainstream political culture. Why would this be a threat to Peck’s understanding of himself? It’s precisely what he expects and what he hates. He’s seen countless gays be embraced by mainstream society when they embrace…

I guess nobody’s been watching stage 3? There’s been by far the most variety in comps ever, with no hero above 70% selection. GOATs seems to be fixing itself. The sad thing is that a lot of the fun new comps will die with 2-2-2. They should instead mandate a maximum of two supports and two tanks. That way you have a…

Yeah, I only realized I felt that way quite recently. I think there are a lot of social institutions that have social value but can be harmful to the individuals involved. For me, the romantic ideal of marriage creates expectations both of ourselves and of our partners that we might be happier not trying to meet. I…

That’s funny, I actually do animatics for Arthur and we just redid that Lance Armstrong episode with a fictional professional wrestler last year. Must have figured he wasn’t such a good role model anymore.

That’s super interesting! Romantic marriage is actually against my values, so if my (hypothetical) girlfriend wanted to get married because she believes in those values, then we’d have to have a serious conversation. There’s probably other stuff we’d realize we disagree on about relationships in general that we should…

Isn’t it more likely that marriage is something meaningfully negative for LW3's boyfriend, not meaningless? If he didn’t care either way, he’d just get married. I’m assuming it goes against his values, and I wonder if she knows what they are.

That’s funny, for me it’s a great month! Couldn’t justify buying PES 2019 because I already had 2018, but really happy to get it free.

It’s really different in the gameplay. Feels less like an arcade game and more like an actual soccer game than FIFA. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up to you to decide. For me, it’s incomparably better, despite having no bells or whistles to speak of.
