Well that’s kind of my confusion - because CS:GO isn’t an “easy” game per se, but it’s still massively popular.
It’s hard for me to know why. I do think the skill floor (as opposed to skill ceiling) is a decent part of it - but I honestly think a lot of it is just developers who never knew how to adapt that kind of arena shooter into something that actually makes money.
The death of the multiplayer boomer shooter (or crack shooter, if you will) is a real shame. They just never really maintained a presence and I’m not sure why. The most recent one I can think of was Quake Legends, which I actually thought was really good! I think the monetary approach behind it was just off.
It’s funny, back then the assumption was that these ultra fast twitch games would be the whole future, and you’d kind of assume that’s what people would gravitate to, and now the most popular competitive FPS is CS:GO by a margin - a pretty slow burn tactical game lol
No I stand by my statement lol
I think you might be an idiot my man.
You’re going to have to tell me what oligarchs own NPR, C-span, and the associated press
None of your independent journalists / investigators are independent.
You can literally just read news from less overtly biased news sources. There are scant few articles that I can think of where I really need a redditors interpretation of it
Actually it’s really not at all. You’re probably just thinking about Reddit/lemmy/twitter posts when you write that.
Go on like NPR or C Span and actually read the news. It’s fine.
It’s actually crazy how low the percentage of people under like… forty is now that actually gets their news direct from a news site. Seriously, i don’t know a single person from like 20-35 who actually just goes on the NPR or C-SPAN app or whatever.
It kind of sucks. So much news is just reading the headline and seeing a photo now. And I just feel like there’s something bad about being able to see a comment section on Twitter or Reddit or even Lemmy now on every news event. Makes for a lot more group think rather than just reading the news and going “huh”
I imagine he might not be the first person who did, the rest are just lost to history due to lack of observable / recorded results.
Earlier generations of people tended to have kind of a general, observation based understanding of that kind of thing where cause and effect was generally observed but people didn’t understand the why of it. People even very early on knew that if you caught a disease once you were less likely to catch it severely again, and they knew that if you quarantined a group of people the disease would eventually “die out”, but they had no real idea as to why in either case.
As a non-shitpost tid bit, this picture is depicting Edward Jenner, who made the first vaccine by inoculating people (first milkmaids, then anyone) against cowpox. Basically just took a scalpel and took some material from the sore on a cow with cowpox and scraped it on people.
Turned out pretty effective - and down the line we have vaccines
I grew up after them. I think they’re fine in certain circumstances. If the game is supposed to have free content updates for weeks and months and whatever else after launch then yeah sure, why not
Hey, why even have to buy dyes? The game should give them all to you for free. And supplies can be gathered, you should just get infinite supply packs too
It doesn’t. You can do it in game for free very easily. You really should not get all your opinions from YouTubers
You’re not supposed to actually know anything about the game here. This is purely a thread for circlejrrking based off of what YouTubers said
You can do both of those easily for in game money.
I am not stupid because I have a differing opinion about video games than you do. Touch grass.
No you aren’t. You just made it up. I have comments going back months
It “stinks”, but I don’t really care if the game is good without interacting with the MTX at all. I just don’t
This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.
