However, you’re increasing the client turn over, doing the cashier’s work and not getting a single discount for it. All of this while prices for groceries keep increasing.
Does that really seem ok to you?

“up to 144hz”? What? Why would they put an fps cap?

I never said that.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
The amount of effort it takes to make a movie is not small.
That’s precisely why I would favor original work over remakes.
By logic, this means that there are even more reasons for the movie being made because there are more people involved, each with their own motivations.
Not necessarily, no. The people working on a film might be doing it just because it’s their job. Not everything is a passion project. Also, when discussing a big studio production such as this one, the people that greenlight the movie are also expecting an ROI. Lots of big movies are just a product that produces money.
Also, there’s no reason to be a condescending prick.
Not being condescending. It’s just that wishful thinking just gets a chuckle out of me.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
I can assure you that there is not a single movie where the sole reason it gets made is for money.
And that’s my cue to leave. Thanks for the laugh.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
Not at all. I’m just saying that if it’s a remake, there should be a reason for making it other than just money, ideally.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
Because it’s not better than the original and it costs millions of dollars to make. It’d be better to spend that time and resources on something that’s actually new.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
You’re missing the point. They’re not saying it’s a bad movie, just that it’s an unnecessary remake.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 2 months ago:
You’re confusing changing the priority of the inputs with creating them. Not the same thing.
In my opinion this should be implemeted on a OS level for all to use
Tons of keyboard/mice features are applied per device. If you want to do this on yours, it’s free. Look it up.
There’s no barrier for entry and it makes the gameplay quicker. There are no downsides here, this feels like plain gatekeeping.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 2 months ago:
The game is coded to not allow you to strafe while pressing both side buttons
The way this feature works haa nothing to do with how the game is coded and go, cs does not explicitly try to prevent you from doing this. If it does, please show me your source. If they actually wanted to do that, they could also add a minimum delay between the inputs and not ban anyone.
Allowing hardware to change how a character behaves lowers the skill ceiling.
Lowers the skill ceiling to strafe but strafing isn’t something thata everyone does. Considering that it makes you harder to hit, and shooting IS something everyone does, it means that everyone has to improve their tracking skills.
Still a closer analogy than “are they gonna ban low latency peripherals.” Genuinely baffling how you came to that conclusion.
If that baffles you, it means you didn’t give it much thought. Lower latency benefits people with better reflexes. If you have a mouse that has a high latency and I a keyboard that has very low latency, that means I can avoid more of your shots.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 2 months ago:
The super light mouse doesn’t move itself.
These keyboards also don’t move your character on their own. They simply allow you to react faster by not requiring you to fully depress the key before the other input is accepted. This is simillar to banning n-key rollover if something like 4-key rollover was the norm. It’s an improvement on movement and raises the skill ceiling.
To top it all off, this feature is not hardware restricted. Unlike wooting’s other things like setting the key depress distance, which you can do because they have optical switches.
Imagine if you had a mouse that stopped moving when your crosshair passed over an enemy. Is that acceptable?
No. But that example is also nothing like the feature being discussed here. Are you sure you understand what this does?

Almost as of it was a looter shooter. Oh wait…
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 2 months ago:
Are you going to ban mice that are too light? How about super low latency peripherals? Are monitors next? Is there a limit for the specs on those?
I really can’t see how this makes sense for you.

It’s “exclusive” on a different free platform that doesn’t have any extra requirements. Sure, it’s worse than steam in some ways but choosing not to play the game because it’s only on Epic is pretty dumb, honestly.

Just wanted to point out that this is a feature in the “new” version of teams. Until about a month ago it was impossible to log in to two work accounts simultaneously.

It’s not better, it’s more convenient. Bluetooth earbuds are basically not repairable and they’re more expensive than their wired counterparts if you want something decent. The call quality is also worse due to bluetooth’s limitations.
Both types of headphones have their pros and cons and both can coexist. Don’t be dumb, don’t defend companies taking away options for no good reason other than planned obsolesence.
