Ah, fair enough. Only other option I can think of other than faceit for cs2 would be like a private community, with in-house games and stuff.

Back when I used to play CSGO a lot, faceit had very few cheaters. Is it worse now or something? Or why not play that?

I hadn’t noticed until you pointed it out to me but you are right, Lemmy is pretty bad at spotting satire.

If they’ve never heard of slayer that means they don’t really listen to metal so of course they wouldn’t know what to do with it. Metal is very hit or miss with non metal people. Even when talking about one specific band. I know plenty of people that have like a handful of metal songs in their playlists and it’s usually just one song per band and they dislike all the other songs that they’ve heard from those bands.
Tried asking them what they like about the songs and stuff when they asked for recommandations but the conclusion is always the same. People’s tastes are weird and make no sense.

My oldest source for that is Supernatural. I don’t remember the exact episode, but in one of the early seasons the two brothers were in the car listening to music and Dean plays some Bon Jovi and Sam is like “Bon Jovi?! Seriously?!” And the reply goes something like “Bon Jovi rocks… On occasion”
Obviously not a serious source and obviously they don’t say Bon Jovi isn’t metal, just more of an amusing anecdote that I still remember almost 15 years later, for some reason.
But more seriously, Wikipedia lists genres there even if a band doesn’t belong in a genre. Simply because they have some elements of that genre. And in Bon Jovi’s case that was only on the early albums. You can go to the wiki page of their first 2 albums, for example and you’ll see that the genr e listed are “glam metal / hard rock”. Which means that even early on they weren’t really metal. More like metal adjacent. Obviously beyond that they went more and more towards rock.
But I do agree that the definition of metal has changed a bit. But mostly when talking about the early days, not anytime recently. For example bowling for soup has a line in one of their songs that goes something like “when did motley crue become classic rock?!” So you might be onto something.
Beyond that… There’s always gonna be silly purists that will try to gatekeep stuff. And metal has plenty of those. You can see it easily when there’s talk about the more commercial or experimental bands like sleep token or whatever.

Oh…dunno. Mine’s not that reactive to objects. I just tried touching my screen with a piece of cloth, even wrapping my finger in one and I still can’t make it react.

You do get to choose. That’s what the settings are for. Someone commented the solution to the issue.

Yes. You just swipe left from the edge of the screen to go back. You swipe up from the bottom to go to home. And a smaller swipe from the bottom, dunno how to describe it, for the square menu thingy. Easier than the buttons and you also gain extra screen space.

Not surprised to hear about men being pigs. But now I’m curious about the kind of job that you were applying for. Doesn’t really matter as there are assholes in every industry, but some seem to have more than others.

Wait, what? How can you love someone without friendship? People I care about are either friends or family. So without friendship, sex + love is just.. incest?

No, but I do it because I find it fun. I enjoy the sound it makes.

Played the intro/demo thing they had up a while ago. The world and stuff seemed promising. The combat was slightly better but still quite similar to the original game. Which imo is not that good of a thing. I’m still gonna play it, cause I love the game, but still.. was hoping for a bigger improvement in what I consider to be the side of the game that most needed jt.

I’m quite chill.. just pointing out the difference between fact and opinion. And besides, who gets to decide what is a masterpiece and what isn’t if not “everyone”?

No game can ever satisfy everyone. But just because it wasn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s not one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didn’t enjoy clair obscur like I thought I would, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not an amazing game.
