Well, you need to buy the game, you need the hardware to be able to run the game especially if on PC and it’s a demanding game, some games are online only so if they’re a console player instead of PC then they need the annual membership also, also if it’s an online game then you might be able to do fine with random players but you may also need a serious group if you plan on ranking up in level. Watching gameplay at Grand Champion vs playing at Gold isn’t the same thing, and is usually less frustrating. Not to mention that highly ranked players can teach you how to improve and adapt in your own gameplay.

When it comes to single player games, like speed running, I’d rather watch a clip of the one time a speed runner was able to pull off all sorts of tricks with near flawless execution and get the random chances of various things occurring required for a good time than play the same game for 20 hours a day for 3 years straight to maybe accomplish the same thing.

Also, some people are just entertaining whether they’re playing a game or just waiting for a game to load. I may not agree with what others find entertaining, but it’s subjective so whatever. Others may have injuries maybe in their hands or nervous system preventing them from being able to play well, though it’s highly commendable for those that have found workarounds to be able to play (like rigged up controllers for their mouths or to workaround physical deformities preventing them from using a regular controller).

I get why people play and why people watch for both videogames and sports.

How can he get the credit if he can’t patent it? How is he trying to get credit? Also, of all the billionaires to hate on, Bill Gates is a very odd choice considering he wants what so many here advocate for.

Yeah I don’t understand what the point of this post is. Maybe they just like Juneteenth better as a holiday?

I’ve been going more often lately. I do hate having to catch up on 600 pages that’s been discussed over the past 8 years though.

This is the answer - Only salaried jobs are 9-5, otherwise you get an unpaid lunch which adds 30m-1h to the time range. These days, salaried jobs also try to exploit making you work outside of these time ranges…regularly.

Never used fark, though it seems I would have got right in. Sad to think of the good times I probably missed out on.

The gentlemen amongst the homes are always tough.

I believe cats and/or dogs can also smell “sick” as you’ve described. I remember reading about a hospital that had either a dog or a cat who would cuddle up with people the night before they passed away of their sickness or something.

I’m not seeing it in Sync for Lemmy either

You know, if they were talking a player named that, someone could have reported it, and this comment could have just been the straw that broke the camel’s back to get the ban.

Yup. Shit’s out of control now. Can someone just make an equally competitive car soccer game to act as a competitor?

The smurfing has gotten so bad…

There’s too much toxicity in RL these days.

This is what the Bronze rank is for. Join us.
