I read this title as “Fascifacts” instead of “Facists”…

I think that instead of calling it fake news, we should start calling it “Fascifacts.”

100%, I hate matchmaking. Give me old school server selections. Some of the best times I had in PvP was in Gears of War 1, where I’d get my teeth repeatedly kicked in by the same group of people and LEARN from what they did.

“If I dodge this way instead of this way its more effective.” “They never use this specific weapon I like, maybe it actually sucks.”

You don’t get that in matchmaking because you never see the same people again, you can’t learn from those more skilled at the game because of this. Unless I go watch youtube videos of people playing it that are better than me, I don’t get that sense of immersion. I hate watching videos of other people playing, I’d rather jump in, and study my enemy in a live environment.

We’ve a weekly game night with a few friends. We mostly play survival crafters, because that’s about the only co-op experience we can find anymore…

That said, we’re doing a private server run-through of Barotrauma that promises to be fun.

Thats exactly what it is, mobile gaming showed up with its microtransactions and proved its model was vastly more profitable, and so the downhill slide began.

I hate matchmaking so much!!! Its such a garbage mechanic. Let me pick a server to play against/with the same dozen people over and over. Some of the best impromptu friendships I’ve ever had were from server based PvP, because I could encounter the same people over and over.

Pay to win models are shit. Much prefer twitch/skill based models where you can’t apply currency to anything mechanical.

Was working the counter at a repair shop. This really old guy had come in for a data backup and a wipe/restore. We performed said service, and reloaded the data from the backup back on, and his outlook data was encrypted with a password he couldn’t remember.

This infuriated him, he specifically asked me if I wanted HIM to “Shove the desktop tower up his ass, stick his head in after it, and give it a sniff.”

People are wild.

This is the new SQL-Injection trend. Test Every text field!

The Brain Organoids dislike this.

That is the exact reason I’m leaving the US… Can’t afford these damned $1500/month rent prices after insane medical expenses.

Guess I’m back to the drawingboard on where to go though, haha.

Uhg, this is tough to hear. Was considering migrating to New Zealand.

So… I threw an Asain man down the stairs the other day…

It was Wong on so many levels.

Came to mention David Wong. Jasin Pargin took the David Wong character idea and wrote a book series with him as one of the main characters!!

“John Dies at the End.” - Fantastic series!!

Termite paratroopers could work. Attach a brain organoid backpack to each terminate, and let them roll.
