Over the shoulder is very different than over the head. Over the shoulder means that there is a large portion of your meaningful field of view blocked by your avatar, which admittedly is a big pain in the ass in Fortnite.

Speak for yourself. I’ve got a 100/100 connection with 4ms ping and I get lag and rubber banding like CRAZY when I play it on PS4. I’d go so far as to say that the majority of my deaths are from lag. The number of times I’ve lost responsiveness from the game only to return to a dead body is too high to count.

This is obviously a sticky situation, but trying to inject the stigma of the American history of blackface into a different culture is silly. Blackface is bad because it was used to create a negative stereotype of black slaves and freedmenin the wake of the darkest age of US history, not because it was white people…

And yet they cling to that Leviticus like it’s made of gold...

If the situation were tweaked, and the game were about a gay or lesbian character waking up next to someone with sex characteristics other than their preference, or what they had been led to believe, would you not expect them to be equally shocked? I would personally consider that to be sexual assault.

Is the suggestion here that someone WOULDN’T be shocked to find that they’d slept with a trans person the next day? I’m all for LGBT rights, but that would certainly come as a shock to me if I wasn’t aware beforehand.

Graphene, diamond, and the pencil at your desk are all just “carbon” when you break them down to try to figure out what they’re made of. Just like humans are much more than their component elements, alloys can do things that are completely surprising based on their composition. New steels are still produced every…

An Alcubierre drive wouldn’t ever have to worry about acceleration or deceleration, nor any of the issues (like collisions) that go along with it, since it would hypothetically would be operating in a pocket outside of regular space-time. In fact, as proposed, you could walk straight “through” an Alcubierre bubble and…

There’s absolutely nothing in the standard model of physics that suggests that you can’t get something from point A to point B faster than the speed of light. Just that you can’t accelerate any meaningful amount of matter to get to the speed of light. There are plenty of proposed methods for getting around this…

Here’s a tip: ditch the goddamn laugh track. If your jokes are funny, no one needs to be told when to laugh. If they do, hire better writers.

That’s not how things work, at all. Utilities are metered at their end point, not their respective “pipes”, real or metaphorical. Multiple carriers could easily share fiber connections, and there are plenty of examples of multiple telecom companies sharing the cost of outbuilding and doing just that. The monopoly…

I don’t know what it’s like nationwide, but I’ve lived all of my adult life in the two wealthiest counties in the country and even here I’ve never had access to more than one ISP at any given time.

How long until the United States’ first world status is revoked? Having a high GDP means nothing if your infrastructure is third-rate.

You’ve seen way too many shitty movies if you think that’s an option.

Because there is no road to disarmament in NK that doesn’t involve boots on the ground. And we learned very clearly last time that a ground war in North Korea is suicide.

Bring back Edge Master mode!

You’ll have to change your metaphor to include the fact that the people who are going to ream you really, really hard right now are also going to do their damndest to change the reaming status quo to ensure that they’ll be able to ream you for the foreseeable future, even after they’re out of power. The supreme court…

So if your choice is between a guaranteed and unwanted ass reaming, or things possibly getting better or, at worst, staying the same, you’d rather sit that decision out and let fate decide? That is some grade A stupidity.
