I, in complete sincerity, said maybe he should take a break and do something to clear his head if the game is making him angry or annoyed. Because its not healthy and its good to take a break every now and then.

Boy he did not like that lol and he had a go at me, and then several others as well who tried to offer advice, and it just became this vicious circle of insults, snarky comments and loling from me over the course of about 4 matches till i got disconnected.

Good fun.

Yeah, years of playing LoL have taught me that telling a rager to relax has the opposite effect.

Now I exploit it when I'm winning to throw them off their game.

I will admit i ended up saying it several times to egg him on, as well as general piss taking because he was being a wanker and was on the enemy team :lol:

Wastelanders is out for Fallout 76, but since I have distanced myself from the whole 76 mess to the extent that I have yeeted it into the sun, I will not be playing it. I'll watch some YouTubers play it, but that'll be the limit of my interaction with it.

China's government and system isn't even comparable to North Korea. The Chinese government controls every aspect of every Chinese person's life. They monitor and track every action taken by their populace, and score them on a scale they call "Social Credit." If your Social Credit drops, you lose your job, can't buy a house or get approved for a lease or a bank account. If it drops too low, the secret place take you in the night and put you in labor camps for the rest of your life. And usually your entire family too.

All digital communication is heavily monitored. There is no privacy in China. You will get stopped on the street if you have a low social credit score and the police will force you to install surveillance apps on your phone. If you say no, you disappear. But they'll take you in the street, just so everybody knows why you're gone.

You can't compare the Russian Empire to China. You can't compare anything to China.

Take it down a notch there, Orwell. You make them sound like the Cardassian from DS9. It's just a government. And no government is invincible. All they gotta do is realize that and presto, down goes all that communism.

They tried, it didn't work.

Also, ~70%+ of the population doesn't know that happened, and the ones who do think it happened because of a rebel group trying to overthrow the government and install their own dictatorship, and the ones who do know what it was about aren't allowed to talk about it or else they get to take a trip to China's reeducation camps where they harvest your organs and sell them on the black market.

Then there's the Xinjiang Re-education camps, which also happens to be death camps where they harvest your organs and sell them on the black market, and is being done against the Uyghurs, a minority ethnic group in China that opposes... any Chinese government in general, and is a genocide on the scale of the Armenians atm.

Another fun fact about their actions against the Uyghurs, they began "appointing" Han Chinese men to stay and sleep with Uyghur women in order to promote cultural unity.

I.e mass rape

Crysis 2 was one of the most graphically advanced 7th gen games, but Crysis 3 was pretty much on par with everything else released at the time.

It seems that ever since Halo remastered 1 & 2, other video game companies are starting to hop on the remastered train. Which isn't a bad thing of course the remastered Crash and Spyro games look pretty neat. And with the recent release of MW2 Remastered (which also looks beautiful) there will be more remastered games to come.

Modern Warfare (2019) is a reboot to the franchise, MW2 Remastered just has updated graphics and new animations.

Modern Warfare 2019 is a reboot of the entire franchise.

And they still miss the mark on what made Cod Pre-MW2 great.

All these videos keep popping up on my feed about Minecraft RTX and honestly, nothing makes me want to get back into gaming any more than that. I've been toying around with the idea of recreating the Passchendaele map from Battlefield 1's Apocalypse DLC, and now that we have colored lighting, the Chlorine Gas is finally going to be possible, as well with the new update coming with new blocks like Blackstone and gilded Blackstone, I'm gonna wait around for a bit to get the Xbox Series X and then start construction.

Doom Eternal is pretty great. Decided to buy standard since deluxe edition is quite a bit of money. I still need to learn how to keep moving while fighting instead of treating it like Republic Commando
