If I'm fresh installing League, why is it asking for .NET 3.5 as a dependency? Do you know how many years old that is? Do they know about .NET 4.8?

Probably Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps first. I'd say banks, but banks are slow. Games won't take long. If there's not enough blowback it'll spread to every website that uses captchas today.

And they think everyone just ate the WMDs in Iraq thing. No, I was there at the protests. Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.

The only thing Iraq and Al Qaeda had in common was the Q. We knew that then.

Uh, seems like an odd reason to quit your job.

I'd have to quit my job twice a week if I left every time my boss said something dumb.

One of my last comments on Reddit was about this.

The biggest difference I've noticed is that people have stopped reading sentences. They'll read all the words and then upvote based on the feeling those individual words give them. They won't consider the meaning of all those words put together.

And yeah, "upvote does not mean agree" is something Reddit has always struggled with, but it has definitely had exponential growth lately.

It has made me start writing more clearly. There are comments I've written that have been wildly misinterpreted from my actual meaning. Part of that is that I tend towards sarcasm, and it doesn't translate well over the internet no matter how absurd I get with it. But I've also started aiming to use more simple sentence structure.

 

How's your experience been? Any resources out there you've found?

So far I've learned Morde is obnoxious.

 

League (and mobas in general) are more toxic than other games, which is already a pretty high bar.

The primary reason is the large number and wide variety of skills needed combined with the snowball nature of the game. But let's talk about those skills.

  • cs
  • Warding for lane
  • Dodging skillshots
  • Landing skillshots
  • Jungle tracking
  • Wave management
  • Matchup knowledge
  • Objective setup
  • Team fighting (could be broken down into multiple styles)
  • Lane assignments
  • Knowing when to farm or sacrifice farm
  • Warding for objectives
  • Communication
  • Managing tilt
  • Influence on team morale
  • Item builds
  • Suvival
  • Knowing when to die
  • Adaptability to game state
  • Adaptability to teammates

I'm sure you could easily triple the size of this list. Naturally you're going to pay more attention to some skills over others, as will everyone else. And of course you'll be better at the ones you pay more attention to.

Imagine rating yourself on each of those skills 1-10.

Now you're thrown onto a team that likely has the same overall skill level as you, if you add those all up. What are the odds that the skills are in the same places? Across four other people? You're almost certainly paying less attention to some of the skills where your teammates are better than you.

The end result is that nearly everyone you play with looks worse than you. Likely much worse.

There's some variance between games, sure. This could just be a bad game for them. But... probably more often it's their average game. More often you're just not able to see how they win games.

So keep this in mind next time you think everyone in your game is terrible. They're probably able to make up for it somehow if you let them, even if you don't see it.

They end up losing the fight but seeing these 2 fights side by side was pretty cool to see. Original Insec Play vs Closer's Insec Play

The prices of the items you buy are not based on how much they cost to produce. The price is based on what people are willing to pay. And the corporations know that most people aren't paying that much attention.

If you put things into your grocery cart without considering what the price was two weeks ago or two months ago, they'll just keep jacking up the price.

Have you noticed that the price of coca-cola has doubled in the past 5 years? Do you look for alternatives, or do you just keep putting it in your cart? Is there a point at which you'll stop buying a particular thing, or does it have to be truly egregious?
