The actual opposite of conservative in this case would be progressive. Liberal isn’t a relative term, progressive is. It’s easy enough to tell from context but when there’s already no info on how these graphs came to be it just adds to them being questionable.
Yes, but it’s not a factor at for example lan tournaments. It’s just a compounding number anyway. Ping can easily be sub 20 ms even online, then the up to 12ms (average 6ms) difference between 60 and 240hz is more significant than further ping reduction.
I think there’s a lot of placebo involved, but it does make a difference in games with direct competition. If 2 people in CS headshot each other, even being 1ms faster can flip the outcome in some cases. I can definitely see why you’d just want as fast as possible.
Oh she definitely should have sold it from the start. Which directly goes against the claim that renting it out is totally risk free and free money.
Even after the sale it barely covered the associated debt and renovation costs after the tenants though. The housing market isn’t equally fucked everywhere. Even if selling it immediately the surplus money would not have been able to support my stepdad (who is now living on disability and social security with some financial support from my mom) for more than a few years. If renting it out had worked, it actually would’ve.
Why not get a company? Dunno precisely, probably because when money is that tight you don’t want to lose some to a company that does something that seems very doable by yourself.
Ah yes, my mom who ended up with 2 houses after remarrying (her new husband was terrible with managing finances so they decided to give the house and associated debts to her), barely scraped by financially, is a social parasite for wanting to rent out that other house because her new husband, after decades of physical labor, had become incapable of working full time and needed a way to have income later in life. Always had at least one tenant that was from hell in their own way btw and ended up selling the house to not succumb to the costs. Renting it out only caused losses.
The whole thing is phrased the way I phrase acquisition requests at work, everything is true but it’s very much written in a way that exaggerates the severity. No major reasons not to add it since it should be quite simple, but that phrasing is bound to tick people off a little. (Edit bc i just remembered this is about doxxing: no of fucking course that’s not even remotely an appropriate response and I see 0 justification for it, and I feel like it probably wouldve happened even with different phrasing, this isn’t meant to be victim blaming)
Wouldn’t be hard to instead say “hey, i have an issue with the lack of a gender neutral pronoun option, it causes feelings of dysphoria for myself and many others which makes me not want to play the game, would be great if that could be added.” Or even just leave out the dramaticizing adjectives, that might do it on its own.
Yea, that one point in the post doesn’t necessarily make much sense (though this really depends on how the corresponding questions were phrased). Doing what you think is right over what you’re told is good if it’s a question of morals, it’s not good if you’re in a situation where you might not have the full picture. Though the correct thing to do when you’re told to do something you don’t agree with in this case would regardless be to bring it up and have a discussion about it.
But you can truly own steam games. It’s up to the developer whether to enable DRM. You can distribute a game through steam and it can still be launchable without steam running. Which means you can also save it to whatever backup medium you like.
