You shouldn't be able to join a competitive pvp match or start a raid without a working microphone

In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that’s the case, those activaties aren’t for you and you shouldn’t bring down your entire team because of that....

andrew_bidlaw,

So you mean team and cooperative FPSs and MMORPGs. This needs to be said. There’s a whole layer of games that have competitive regimes with 1-player ‘teams’ or even based around that with a little-to-no ability to get a benefit from talking. Fightings, racings, strategies, shooters with a deathmatch, chess lol. Without specifying it this opinion is just incorrect.

It’s not that unpopular when you get into higher ranks where you take on a challenge with a long-going group of players. In the lower ranks with randoms it’s probably harder to find a game where everyone’s connected, and also more agression and toxicity found in the chat. I liked playing support\tank roles in low level Overwatch (and DD had long queues anyway) without communication specifically because I had a joy of reading other people and the stakes were pretty low, but risking something more is weird.

andrew_bidlaw,

There should be a hentai image as a third panel.

I’m not greedy but I want a dataset of how it correlates with gender and sexuality of responders. The working hypothesis is very promising. I want it raw 𓁹‿𓁹

andrew_bidlaw,

Circular selection, fill?

Isn’t that how you do that in Photoshop?

For a certified maniac there’s also one bump of a brush with 100% hardness and using gradient tool, radial, with no actual gradations.

And if you are feeling like killing a school bus of puppies, you can put a coin or a mug to the screen with one hand while drawing around it with the other, using a live mouse, biting you, as you move it and hallucinate the formation of the ideal circular form.

andrew_bidlaw,

I wasn’t writing this comment seriosly, but there’s also a shape tool, but it’s rather weird and sits at the bottom of the toolbar so I don’t feel like many professional users really care about it.

andrew_bidlaw,

I loved how non-destructive placement of existing graphics works but I can’t remember when I used the shape tool in PS without going straight to AI for it’s shape-building anchor-induced shenanigans. Can you tell what use besides non-pixelated masks you’ve used in your workflow? It’s the only application I can think of, but that’s maybe because my field of use is too narrow.

andrew_bidlaw,

Thanks.

The thing with Photoshop is that it’s such a large software that nobody uses all of it, but every part is used by somebody.

Same with other their products. For me it’s a permanent love-hate perception of Adobe for they are making these cool tools but are very, very greedy. Yet, I still can’t really get into other tools that don’t copy them.

andrew_bidlaw,

Steamcharts doesn’t show a nosedive I’ve expected, but we’d see: steamcharts.com/app/553850

andrew_bidlaw,

The product is still working. In this case it’s probably worth waiting for the stats after they implement this feature.

andrew_bidlaw,

I mean, it’s way more than what most career politicians would do to their elecrorate. Positive, at least.

andrew_bidlaw,

I hated him, but that’s just a metric of how good acting and writing there was. This cartoon has a certain flavor to it, like an old doom metal record found in the garage probably. And authors did a lot more than I expected from these series, with all these quotes and references, and it feels somehow fitting with the cheap style of 90s cartoon, it kinda adds to the feeling of a lost media treasure no one but you knows of. Thanks for reminding me about it. And for that I’m to share my beloved quote by Goliath: ‘As long as we are together, there’s our home’, that, albeit simple, stroke me with a thought of home being not just a place, or not a place at all, but your treasured people (or, well, gargoyles) making home wherever they are, that rings very right with me at that time when I hate my current surroundings and gravitate towards those who understand me. That’s kinda telling about it’s quality if people can recall the quotes from an old show by memory. It feels like I need to rewatch it once again. Thanks.

andrew_bidlaw,

We became afraid of being sentimental or wrong because modern internet does encourage that. I thank Lemmy for sometimes I feel like I can tell something there wihtout trying to win over someone, to be right and get upvotes. I recently replied supportively to a person I’ve taken a fight with a week ago, and that seems organic to what we people do over time. It’s just a simple message from me, nothing to write home about, really, but I’d like for web to become less edgy and more diverse and accepting. That’s the way to encourage more people to open up.

andrew_bidlaw,

He isn’t supposed to wear shoulder patches on his head.

andrew_bidlaw,

They should’ve acted like the Cold War never ended because the other side uses the same old playbook, ruled by the people coming from the executive branch: spies, cops, state security, who just can’t think differently, and even in early two thousands acted like that, but not with the confidence they’ve got since that. Europe can’t just throw Ukraine under the carpet like they are talking with a rational entity to save relations or whatever. If they wouldn’t learn from that, wouldn’t act on that, that’d define the survival of these alliances, because no one would ever feel secure in them.

andrew_bidlaw,

Instances can enable or disable the email verification and other measures, like asking why you want to join that instance.

I don’t recall reddit being so liberal. I haven’t used an account I didn’t verified in the same day, so I can’t say if it works, but I suspect they can enable different protocols for inspecting unverified accs.

As a side-note to that discussion: my VPN works with most services i can’t access otherwise while reddit blocked me as I tried to access it to see for myself. I’m surprised.

andrew_bidlaw,

Anon’s baiting the audience of browsers I’ve not even heard of. I’ve googled SigmaOS and still unsure wtf is that, some coupling of productivity app and a browser that paints itself as the whole OS for all working needs, with one window\tab and a $10 subscription, exclusive to Macs, and is unironically called Sigma? I mean, it sounds even more niche than our favorite Firefox forks, folks. I’d not bite, but it was a pretty interesting dive. Thanks, anon.

andrew_bidlaw,

Won’t say that’s a popular 4ch idol for GL is preety old anime, she’s of a legal age and a pretty empowered woman, although very exposed in her ‘clothes’.
