Public tracker: You are the hero, getting a 30:1 upload ratio in a mere 30 days. “Wow, this shit is easy!”

Private tracker: “Please… can this torrent even reach 10% upload? It’s been an ENTIRE YEAR! I have 500 torrents in the same state!”

I mean, when you create The Steve Carell Show with Steve Carell, starring Steve Carell, written by Steve Carell, and then take away Steve Carell, what else do you expect?

I would argue that Frasier wasn’t comic relief. He was his own personality, and it was enough of a hook to create a respectable show from. If anything, most of the characters around Frasier were the comic relief.

Is it, though? Nepal just politically-violenced their way out of fascism. It wasn’t the protests that got the fascists scared. It was the violent protests that scared them into fleeing.

Rodney King, nobody gave a shit until the LA riots burned shit to the ground. French Revolution, nobody gave a shit until the rich started getting beheaded. America, nobody gave a shit until shots were fired and we declared war on the king.

Change isn’t started by convincing fascist assholes into following empathy. It’s started by getting rid of those fascist assholes. Let’s stop pushing the wrong message.

The center-left

What the fuck does the center-left have to do with WSJ? Not even the center-left read WSJ.

Perhaps not the most related, but it is sort of funny for The Intercept to cover this when they led to Reality Winner going to jail because they didn’t follow basic journalistic protection of sources.

It’s absolutely related. I will never trust that name again because of what they did to Reality Winner. And Snowden. And many others. They have a shit track record, and should get out of the business of security reporting.

It’s not that kind of game. You can fail your way to success, as long as you aren’t going too far, like shooting a kid or something.

Thanks for making games illegal!

As a big fan of elite games: I am really glad star citizen “exists” to contrast Elite Dangerous and has led to some truly amazing games in the genre.

Elite Dangerous has its faults, but goddamn, did it pull something epic and historical with a ten-years-in-the-making final event.

Right. Never pre-order games. Ever.

They may have been the first, but the sheer amount of failed disaster projects on Kickstarter, Paetron, wherever is staggering.

Some of them end up being “successful” failures, just stringing their patrons along on hopes and dreams and donations until the well dries up. Star Citizen is definitely the most successful venture of its sort, but only because it’s the highest profile with a bunch of known talent in the mix.

And I personally think $19.99 it a fair ceiling for a service that has a deep catalog and offers 4k video.

Used to have a deep catalog. Used to. Before David came along and gutted it 3-4 years ago.

This is what the old guard, like him and Jon Stewart, don’t seem to understand. You can’t reason with fascists, and they’ll continue to use their own political violence as a tool to get what they want.

My question for the last 9+ months has been, “how long can a market willingly ignore reality?”

How long did we kick the foundations out of the US dollar when we got rid of the gold standard, and just let it float on speculation and feelings? What, 60-70 years now?

How long has the stock market existed on the whims of people’s feelings over cold hard statistics and long-term analysis?

Markets have been ignoring reality for many decades.

*cough* *cough* Star Citizen *cough*

This is an example of what I feel is a watering down of this YSK forum. Knowledge like this is so esoteric as to be useless to a vast majority of the people here. JetBrains develops programming tools, and this post should go into a programming forum.

I’ve found that as long as you put YSK in front of the title, you can post any damn thing you want here. There’s barely any moderation against the type of posts that are brought here. It’s just a place to put a post in a high-volume forum, so that it gets at least triple-digit upvotes.

This article is basically just bemoaning that AAA develops for the lowest common denominator, which I can understand as a gripe, but it’s a very old gripe.

And an easy one to fix: Don’t fucking buy AAA games!

Whichever choice we make here, the other one is relegated to a limited, auxiliary role in generation, and can never reach its full potential.

No, you didn’t. You were literally arguing for a binary choice.

I don’t agree with Walking Dead S07E01 being first

It’s ScreenRant. They probably were paid to create this list just to promote Walking Dead.

What bugs me about this shitty campaign from Collective Shout and the other “pretend to care about the children” orgs, is that Roblox has been right there the whole time. PMG did two videos exposing Roblox over two years ago, and I know others have followed suit in the games media, but these orgs stayed silent.
