Quoting: KimyrielleNever heard of that game. I won't miss it either. I don't touch any MOBA game, as that genre consistently seems to attract some of the worst examples of the human species. I can do without getting exposed to that sort of people.

Not really, MOBA players are normal people, like you. If you think you are not capable of behaving like them or even worse, under similar circumstances, you have a really false idea about yourselves.

Most MOBA people become "toxic" because they are frustrated. Most of the time they are justly frustrated, due to bad teammates that ruin their fun.

If you were invested heavily in a game, only for some random dude to ruin your fun, you would be pissed off too, unless you are not human.

Puhleeze. I've started HoN only ONCE (for "real"). At some point you have to leave training and jump into it. All hell in form of constant verbal abuse broke loose, once I was in the game. Never returned.
OTOH: I've been playing War Thunder now for years (I assume I'm at least moderately invested). Never ever have I experienced something similar there. People are occasionally complaining, but it always stays pretty civil. And if I am the one who is frustrated I tend to reflect and keep in mind that it is A GAME. Does this mean I'm "not human after all"?

Quoting: PatolaIt even raises awareness that such motto exists.

That's baffling. What's next? Will Proton be the #FinalSolution for playing games on Linux? Look, I raised awareness to the Holocaust!

No you didn't (or rather wouldn't if tweeted). You'd make fun of 6 million murdered people by using an euphemism used solely by the Nazi for their genocide. That's not raising awareness. That's just plain stupid. Or vile. I get triggered on that since I hear such "funny quotes" much more frequently in recent times, both from "normal people" and politicians.

Lucky me. Neither was I aware that #WontBeErased is such a ting (well then, I'm not on Twitter either), nor did I read or learn about the "dumb" tweet before. It's really cozy in my bubble.

I can remember when I got the first "professional grade" games with the first Humble Bundle in 2010. I then bought pretty much every game that had a Linux port and this didn't change when Steam first surfaced. Nowadays I enjoy the luxury to ignore AAA titles if they don't fit "my taste".

Quoting: GuestHow is single player with the naval forces? If I am in a WW2 ship will I encounter unrealistic opposition?

No more "unrealistic opposition" than sitting in a WW2 aircraft or a WW2 tank. Or what do you mean with "single player" when referring to a MMO game?

Quoting: GuestWhat is the point of polluting our social media with vague stuff with no solid info?

WTF?

Then you're in la-la land. FreeBSD is falling like a rock, and it'll drag everything based off of it down with it.

Aaaand that's (solely) because of their CoC? Because otherwise they'd be soaring? Did I get that right? I suppose you can back that up with something like facts.

Quoting: TuxeeThis is the most retarded "excuse" I've ever heard for abandoning a project. Being an open source contributor myself it has never occurred to me that some CoC for the Linux kernel has anything in the farthest to do with my work. This dude is working on a GUI tool written in Python - is he aware that the Python project has had a CoC for ages?

You broke the hypocrisy meter on the second page. Good job!

Care to elaborate? And while you are at it - in what way is working on SCC affected by a CoC for Linux kernel contributions? How does his "explanation" fit into all this?

Fair enough. It's one of the most idiotic "excuses" I've ever heard for abandoning a project.

Quoting: LeopardPeople on Linux don't buy games

Makes me wonder where those 417 Linux titles in my Steam library come from. Well, quite a few come from Humble Bundles, but apart from that I've bought 17 games so far in 2018. In they weren't even in the below-one-Euro pricing range: Helium Rain, Factorio, Skyforce Reloaded, RUINER, ROTR, Steamworld Dig 2,...

I'd rather say people on Windows don't buy games. They copy 'em.
