People should've dropped FB back in 2016 or when the Cambridge Analytica happened.

Well, I'm embracing a new e-mail service. And maybe a new VPN.

Proton has been giving me some issues sometimes when I couldn't access my inbox, I can't have that when I'm in great need to see if anything has happened. Also, I've joined Tutamail just now and I can make a lot of folders. Screw you, Proton for endorsing trash and limiting how many folders I can make. Which sounds like a silly complaint and it kind of is, but who the hell limits basic features like that?

So I'll be giving Tutamail a year long trial, just as I did with Proton 4 years ago before making it my primary service of choice. Push comes to shove, I'll just use GMail again for at least it's reliability and as an ironic middle-finger to Proton for this kind of move.

Well, when you say 'many modern games' you're implying that every game sucks currently and in the last few years. Every year there will always be a lot of shitty games but it'd be discrediting to not acknowledge that there are good stuff released every year.

In the past 5 years I will say some of the best games I've played that were released were Blue Fire, Inscryption, Flynn: Son of Crimson, Paint The Town Red, Huntdown, Iron Meat to name a bunch.

One major gripe I have with people who complain about modern gaming, are ones who look to AAA gaming development and expecting creativity and innovation. When, they've long dried up on that. We're not in the PS2/X-Box/GameCube/PS3/360/Wii generations anymore where there were tons of that going on with unique games trying all sorts of things.

The modern gaming climate has shifted into what's trendy, moreso than before. You'll have open-world games, but virtually samey quests to do over and over. You'll have RPGs, but offer nothing but different endings with barely any impact and just grind-fests. You'll have shooter games that care way too much about meaningless stats and other pointless data to keep track of. You'll have sports games that remain as more vanilla and dry of an experience than they ever been. (Gone are the days where in the 80s, 90s and 00s you had sports games released but tried adding flavor to them like NBA Street or Mutant League Hockey.)

Games that are released but somehow needing patches after said release. Gaming developers and publishers having to come out and issue apology statements over them or some of them just outright not caring. Studios getting shut down because of unreasonable corporate demands. Studios getting shut down because of acquisitions.

Streamers and YouTubers dramatizing games or whoring themselves up for a cheap handful of views and subscriptions. Out of touch with reality and themselves and abusing their influences.

These are what make modern gaming suck.

Not really. The only thing I'd be missing access to is where I am on my finances when shopping and I don't have it.

But Team Fortress 2 is not an arena shooter. It's just simply a first person shooter with multiplayer capabilities. The differences are narrow but different enough between Team Fortress 2 and something like Quake III Arena. It's the pace and you're usually on your own.

There goes all of what remains of their integrity.

It just proves further and further that AI by itself is not a bad thing. It's the intent that man pours into it, that makes it a bad thing.

Whatever man touches, turns to rigor mortis.

If that's what it has to take - go for it.

I didn't because it doesn't matter what I do whether it's bare minimum or working my ass off, I get the same results from my job - shit.

Meta has workers? Thought everything is attached to that shitty hub system they've been leaning on for years now.

Maybe, if publishers and creators were getting some petty tax from each swap

You didn't read the part where part of my conceptual ideas consist of paying a fee to gift the game away, that would have to be decided up to Valve and the Developers/Publishers. I only came up with just a start. It's not a perfect idea, but it's there as a return for them because they're going to want some return from this, of course.

I'm not doing the leg work for you. If you're that curious, you look it up.

Oh great, so I'm seeing this now, where we'll have controllers that will play the game for you. And this will go over nicely in esports and the competitive scene...not.

Not hopeful for the next generation of gaming.

The only other game I know of that penalizes you simlarly is Rocket League, they penalize you for leaving casual matches.

I just don't understand the logic. They take Win-Loss records way too seriously.

Arena Shooters have tried and tried to recapture the magic but it's just long gone. As soon as Overwatch showed up, the game had changed. Then Quake itself just had to do the same thing with Champions and look where that got them. Then Unreal Tournament turned into Fortnite and that was the last nail in the coffin.

Uh, I'm not affected. What's there to pay attention to? Not one single instance have I had, in all of 10+ jobs in my resume, where my LGBTQ status was put into question because it was never a matter on the table to begin with. I never brought it up. I never mentioned or talked about who I was with or seeing. I don't drop hints, nothing. I didn't have nosy people, which sounds like what you had and other people.

Anytime I was fired or penalized, it was because of policy violations that amounted to insubordination or just performance in general. Not once, ever, has it been because of my identity. You really must be living in places where you're running into these issues all of the time, because I don't.

A lot of them don't even lie about it as much if you read between the lines. GreenManGaming, HumbleBundle are the exceptions to that.

But places like CDKeys, G2A .etc yeah you can't be assured that anything you buy from them is going back to the developer. If the developers so much even hears the existence of these kinds of sites, they'd be protesting to have them shut down.

This is how I feel about fast food in general.

They are only good for exceptional situations, like needing to stretch rations so you don't eat into the food at home so okay you go to a fast food restaurant instead.

No menu item at all is healthy but people conveniently ignore that. Regardless of the many programs and attempts all fast-food chains have tried to be healthy, they just practice wrong because they're still in environments surrounded by grease, fried cooking oil and processed pre-bought items.

They should not be treated like you would at a sit-down restaurant that actually has waitresses/waiters, chefs .etc

They're good for eating at very moderate and scarce amounts. Not a weekly or daily consumption level.

The prices don't justify the quality.

I would go by tiers.

Kindergarten/Pre-School is fine as it is. Middle-School is where you're to learn the basics of life and in general of what you need to know when developing. High School is to be the place where those same courses are advanced, like you're to learn how to budget, how to file taxes, sex education a priority .etc

College is the real deal where you're to learn even more advanced courses. These things would just assist eachother so nobody feels like they're left behind, everyone is on the same page.

And it would be optional credit, not mandatory.
