  • Full IDEs kinda suck.

  • What issues did you have if you don't mind me asking.

  • Just install whatever apps you want to use. Maybe get an AdBlock for safari.

    It doesn't require much tweaking to work properly.

  • For the king is truly amazing with friends. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

    I might try state of decay 2. I loved the first one. I hear the second one is co op. Which might be nice.

  • It's been easy.

    Every time I think about going there I just remind myself that the people that run that site actively hate their users.

  • Quake 3 was my first but Ultima Online is the one that made me fall in love.

  • Same same. It's something disgusting too like 4+ years.

    Other than that one probably football manager at like 2k hours.

  • Entirely agree with everything you said. I never implied otherwise.

    My entire comment was replying to this:

    but there shouldn’t be divisions based on sex or gender.

    There absolutely should. Reasoning: in my previous comment above.

  • Only counter argument I can give you is have a bit of empathy.

    Imagine that you were a young girl and saw this game. Chess. And you wanted to learn how to play.

    The first person you asked was your mother and she told you oh that's a boys game. But you still wanted to learn.

    So you decide to just read up on the rules. You don't really know anyone that plays. So you just kinda play vs yourself and redo. Old GM matches you found in old magazines. None of them are like you btw. They all seem like old men that live on the opposite side of the world.

    You really like the game tho. And eventually you realize oh. There are actual clubs/tourneys near here I can go and play with actual people!

    You go. And there's not a single girl there. Because of all the hurdles you had to jump. Most others that would have been interested just quit.

    So you get there. You are obviously underprepared because you didn't have the support system that made learning it easy. Because of that you just get wrecked.

    In addition to that you probably will have to hear some dumb jokes. That if you didn't have such a rough patch to get there in the first place they might have been funny to you. But they aren't. They just felt like you were being punched down.

    Having exclusive tournaments and leagues is a very minor way of rectifying awful historical disparities. It's not perfect and it's not a solution by itself. But it's absolutely needed.

  • Worst part of reading this is that I do not remember the year. Or the patch number. But Im fairly positive I know exactly about what you are talking about.

  • Being a minority in any social setting brings difficulties that others just don't otherwise face.

    Having a women's category for chess is a way of creating a safe environment for everyone to thrive.

  • They do pay me for it actually, in in-game currency,

    That's somehow even worse.

    What's the conversion rate between the dollars you are making them and the schrute bucks you are being paid ?

  • Not gonna lie. I think most people just don't want work for free for some company's benefit.

    Why are you providing a service for some live service game that doesn't pay you for it ?

  • Unironically yes. Asking someone that doesn't use your project, isn't part of the development, and quite possibly doesn't even want anything to do with your project to do work for you project is silly.

  • "wow you are trying to punish x people for wrongdoings of their parents/grandparents" is the argument it's trying to counter.

  • Dragywaggy. And he eats what he wants.

    Wth. Killer unicorns?? That's too much power for a single person.
