Vaccinated people really should only get tested if they have symptoms or are going someplace with a bunch of immunocompromised people. Regular testing isnt going to do anything useful. Vaccinations, good airflow, masks in crowded indoors areas; those things help out.

There is no good reason to require vaccinated people to get tests that often. It is literally just a waste of resources.

If the only people who are having kids are the climate change deniers, then that makes climate change denying more likely to dominate the future politics.

so are you saying if a game is so easy to completely clear it can't have pay to win from it being so easy? im just.. confused what you mean, hence why i pointed out the 2 posts felt contradictory

Yeah. As theres no winning obtained from paying. If you arent acquiring winning, then it cant really be pay to win.

i have not at all contradicted myself.
Going from 8 months to 6 is clearing in 75% of the time which is a big deal and getting it down to 2 months is 25% of the time.

but like say there was a game where you basically had to go out it your way to lose and they sold you invincibility. It would have 0 effect on the game yet invincibility is the sort of thing that would be absurd.

going back to minor things, like say those extra stat points were like a quarter of a level by end game so like you go from finishing the game at level 45 to finishing at level 45 and the game is backloaded on difficulty, then the extra star points did basically nothing.

If a game is sufficiently easy, then even absolutely absurd pay things wouldn't be pay to win since they'd not cause you to win. Basically, if the stuff you are buying doesn't cause you to win or doesn't affect clear times more than random noise does, it isn't pay to win.

"irrelevant" is a matter of perspective.

If a bought power up boosts you by 1%, then it's still pay to win. You are beating the game 1% faster or earlier than you otherwise might. Just because its smaller or slower doesn't make it any less p2w.

It does though. Like that isn't causing your to win or making a difference if you suck or well anything that is actually affecting the game in any meaningful way. Basically, stuff like that exists to take money from dumbasses who think it will matter even though it doesn't.

Squidkids posted...

ok, lets say there is a pve game that you can completely clear after 8 months of progress, if you pay a little extra it is pushed down to 6 months and if you hardcore whale it is pushed down to 2 months (from starting the game) would that be pay to win even though its pve ?

That would be a significant departure from the base game balance, so yes.

I am just wondering if people are just refusing to admit a game they play is pay to win or not. I thought it was very very simple. If you can pay for power in a game, no matter if it is pvp or not, where the extra something gives some kind of advanage, it is pay to win

And you are wrong. If it is pvp, then paying for an advantage makes it pay to win. If it is pve, then paying for an advantage is only sometimes pay to win. For pve content, it depends on the game's balance and how much the paid stuff affects it. Like say there was a one time purchase that would slightly increase all your stats. In pvp that would be pay to win, while in a pve thing it could very well be barely noticeable and be irrelevant.

Donald would be the worst DM ever. He'd make everything up as he went along because he hates losing.

You roll a 20 attacking an orc thinking it's a hit, but then he says that the orc actually had a +6 magical loincloth that requires you to have magic or silver weapons to hit him.

That's assuming he thinks the game is DM vs Players. He could very well make himself an NPC and have the players all work for him and then send them out on a quest.

I mean, if you've got an acre lawn and can mow your entire yard in half an hour, then ok, fine. You can probably get a small electric push mower and be happy. But what about everyone else? And what about lawn care guys? I mean, how many batteries are they going to have to carry?

I mean, the only electric riding mower Lowes currently sells states that the mower gets 2 acres per charge. I'm guessing that the average customer is 2+ acres. These riding mower batteries look to be about half or 3/4ths the size of a car battery. You're telling me a lawn car guy has to carry around 4 to 6 of these mega batteries PER JOB? How is that sustainable? Forget about the cost of all those extra batteries. How do you practically run a business like that? Do you drive back home after every job to continuously change batteries out of a charger? I don't see how the average small business guy wouldn't be limited to like 3 or 4 jobs per day. I'd love to know how California lawn care guys make it work. I assume somebody out there must be doing it. I'd love to know what their system is.

Where the hell do you live that most folks have 2+ acre yards?

its not a ban where they're going to come to your house and kill you if you have one. Most people buy shit on Amazon anyway. That's still an option. This will just help cut into the emissions problem. of course it won't solve it. no one thinks it will. but it will be a small step in helping. I don't understand the freak out over this lol.

I know that, but some websites like refuse to ship some things to california because california banned the sale of them. This would likely be the same.

Reputable places won't ship to you, but if it is like some previous bans, the 2nd option is possible.

This is the dumbest fucking thing I've read in this thread. You dump 3 inches of leaves on your yard then it's going to kill out the grass and hold in moisture that will produce fungus and mold that kills out whatever grass survived the perpetual darkness. I don't care where you live. Some of you must just have yards that are all weeds.

Weeds>frail grass, tbh. Any plant that can survive with out any work towards keeping it alive is much better than some fragile grass that doesn't belong in your area.

People saying China invading Taiwan would cause WW3 are dumb. Taiwan doesn't even have any official relations with the US, much less a military alliance. It wouldn't be able to intervene.

But invading Taiwan would be very risky for China in case its defeated, so it will never happen. Same reason USA will never invade communist Cuba.

TSMC being under Chinese control would be considered an absolute disaster to the US.

Also, we could intervene. Our stance is that the Taiwan issue should be resolved peacefully and left open the possibility of military intervention if China starts shit.
