Mister Jack Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 if anything PC gamers should be excited about the next gen as well, it means games will have a leap forward and make more use of newer components. Yes! Exactly! This guy gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 My understanding is that one of the mods was a bit of a bitch first in removing PC posts as "they could be doing taxes", whereas others pointed out just pictures of consoles were seemingly fine. He went on a bit of an anti-PC parade which led to him being doxxed (and apparently a bomb threat/murder made in his name, but as others have noted since nothing has gone out on police channels so probs lying on that part) and leading to the 45K user strong PC subreddit being banned by admins (which is a rare feat, the only other high profile subreddit bans by admins have been after the under-age stuff flared up in the media). It's all a bit of a clusterfuck. I imagine/hope the ban gets reversed as that really was a stupid decision. The doxxing was definitely not-needed (and Reddit Admins can surely locally ban those involved). And also stupid to have a mod of one of the larger gaming boards on the net with an anti-PC streak.

Chronixal Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 PC gamers throwing their toys out of the pram and acting like manchildren? Well I never! Seriously, all the master race stuff is hilarious because a) it was meant as an insult and b) you're all identifying with Nazis. Good job!

TheMightyEthan Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Pretty sure whenever an actual PC gamer calls it the master race they're being tongue-in-cheek. I know I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah the PC master race stuff is entirely tounge in cheek. Not like we pray at night for Civ V sales. Gaben. (incidentally it was the anti-PC mod being the manchild. Or just child child, I'm not sure on the age) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Don't take this as bitching, but on Reddit: I don't care about karma, whether I get 10 or 1000: whatever. Thing is, I've noticed that when you get just a few negative votes at first, your submission is basically sent to Hell and stays there with just two or three votes. Truth be told, I probably waited too long and my submission became irrelevant on a hibernating subreddit. Thought it was still good, but NOPE! But whatever, I don't really care. I only care in the sense like I didn't get a fair shake at the majority of viewers because of a select few. But then again, being untimely on my part too.

CorgiShinobi Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Wasn't the one I was talking about, but yes I got that much when people were telling me in the comments. Though even when I have my monitor at its lowest brightness setting (which is now) I can see it just fine, so I was thinking it was different monitors/screens handling RGB, or more specifically true black, differently. If I had stuck around and saw more comments I probably would have made a lighter image and linked it in the comments, but I didn't. Not going to lose any sleep over it or anything, though it was overly positive. But also, lets not make this about me specifically. I'm not trying to get attention here, especially over silly shops and video edits. I really only submit stuff because I get an idea, either funny or interesting. Most of the time I don't have the means to do it, so I don't submit a lot. Edited November 23, 2013 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yeah, I can barely see a wisp of something if I stand up (so my head is over the monitor, and the contrast is different). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Social justice warriors, especially on tumblr. Holy shit. The only word I can think of to describe those people is something I might get in trouble for saying here so I will just say that they are annoying as fuck and I wish they would give it a god damn rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I agree with that wholeheartedly. The problem with them by and large is that they are incredibly bad about picking their battles and EVERYTHING is perceived as a slight or insult.

Mister Jack Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oh boy, I get to change all my passwords tonight because kickstarter got hacked. That'll be a hoot and a half. Again. One game. I backed ONE fucking game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Step 1: https://lastpass.com/ Step 2: Come up with a system. like [domain]pwd123 That way one password hack won't bring down everything because you used password123 for every log in. If someone goes through manually and has multiple password tables with your stuff on they might work out your system, but for the casual hacker type they'll just be blasting your email and password against a bunch of services, so kickstarterpwd123 won't work on gmail or paypal or what not.

Pojodin Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 If that's anything like Keepass, It's definitely worth it. Especially when you have a ton of passwrods to keep track of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'll have to check it out later. Thanks for the tip. Fortunately, I was already using unique passwords for sensitive things like banks and credit cards (I'm not THAT dumb) so I don't have to worry too much about that, but I'm still going to have to change a lot of passwords.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah, I got lastpass after there was the Sony hack and another one in quick succession, causing me to have to change all my passwords twice in less than a month. I didn't actually have them all be identical, but they were similar enough that I wasn't comfortable keeping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 People who spell it "poseur". It's just French for "one who poses" anyway, which is exactly what "poser" means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
