It's definitely not their picks causing issues. They lost a game of LoL in 13 minutes.

IDK if it's the same in LoL, but in DotA it's definitely possible for even tier 1 pro teams to lose maches very quickly now and then. It's usually the result of being unexpectedly outdrafted, or the opponent taking a risky draft with an early peak, and it paying off perfectly.

Definitely too early to make a call on this.

The main thing that will push me to an early purchase of either system is backward compatibility. If it enables me to entirely replace one of the current systems, I'm probably getting on board early

A good way to set your build is to look at a particular game you want to be able to run, and spec to target that. In Dec 2015 when I made my current build, I wanted to be able to play Witcher 3 on high-ultra settings at 1080p and get a good 60fps.
I ended up with a GTX1060 6gb and a Core i5-6500. I can still run most games from 2019 on high at 1080p and get 60fps (e.g. Jedi Fallen Order, Division 2). Control and RDR2 can hit >30fps on high, but not 60.

Did the TC neglect to mention that this "massive" game is sharded to 50 people per server? This isn't like EVE online or an actual MMO, outside of the promise that it might one day become that.
Wait, if this is true then my enthusiasm levels have just dropped pretty dramatically. Is there any plan to increase this? A 50 player cap completely ruins the fantasy of a lot of the larger ships they've pitched. Things that need a large crew, or are supposed to have lots of activity within them just won't be viable with a 50 player cap.

This is probably the most encouraging video of Star Citizen I've seen, as far as something looking like a worthwhile game.

I bought in to a fairly basic tier at the beginning, but at this point I'm far beyond expecting a coherent, complete game will be released any time before 2023.

All the grand designs for ambition and scope don't matter if they never release an actual complete product. CIG is terrible at the production side of this project, and as far as I can remember has basically never achieved any promised deadline or target date.

Doctors Without Borders is probably the easiest slam dunk in this regard, assuming you're allowed to pick nonprofits.
Yeah most of the better contenders are gonna be NGOs that include volunteers.

If they need to be for-profit orgs, then I'd say start looking for places that do things like
  • Living wage as a minimum
  • Supply chain stewardship/auditing (e.g. for labour exploitation)
  • Product life-cycle stewardship
  • Being waste or carbon negative

He had no idea about the history behind it and literally thought it was called the Redneck flag.

The dude was next level dumb.

I've met people like this, and it does complicate the issue. There are quite a few people who only really know the flag by this more recently ascribed meaning, and don't care about (or know much about) the US civil war at all. But they get really defensive if you tell them the origins of the flag and the ideals the confederate army was representing.

I guess they would come under the "idiot at best" classification

It's funny you say that. In 11th grade US history, the black teacher asked a white girl with a Confederate flag shirt on if she believed in God? The girl said yes. The teacher then asked who's side was God on in the Civil War and she went to say the South but he interrupted her loudly and said WRONG!

And he said if God was on the Souths side, they would have won.
In my head this played out like the Kevin Spacey "WRONG!" from Superman Returns

This is a problem with plurality/fptp elections, not a necessary result of democracy. If you want this to change, you need a proportional system, multi-winner electorates or at least ranked voting. Otherwise it's spoiler effect all the way down.

Is this a real perspective on this that people actually have? In the truest sense of the word, Trump's approach to the Bide/Ukraine stuff is an abuse of power and therefore *is corrupt*. Any moral value that might come from trying to expose corruption falls apart if your method of doing that is via corruption.

I agree that eternal growth is not feasible, and so at some point population growth will need to level off.
In my opinion, the solutions to this are:
  • Improved access to sexual health and contraception
  • Improved maternity and paediatric care (including public health, immunisation) to reduce maternal and child mortality, particularly in developing areas
  • Improved access to education and work opportunities for women
Pretty much every country in the world has seen fertility rates decline to 2.0 or below as these things have improved.
