Trump's draft dodging was one of the only good things he did. You're telling me you'd prefer if he helped dump agent orange across Vietnam and flatten communities older than the US itself?

You know the US were the bad guys, right?

Unranked. It really could just be that because I seem to get less seal clubbings (in both directions) in ranked.

It's a shame the slots are so limited rn because I really struggle to make time to be online for ranked at all.

I don't really want a surrender mechanic either because yeah it's lame and a copout, but I also don't want to spend 40 minutes being shit on or being useless either?

I don't know if it's MMR or something but recently my games have been someone on my team getting massive farm and dozens of kills to the point where it's a seal clubbing which I have no impact on, or it's the reverse where even despite coordinating one player is just so heavily fed by 10 minutes there's no way to catch up.

Ranked isn't so bad because of the coordination but the slots are limited and awkward if you work full time.

Yeah I've considered the idea of coming to peace with how my brain works. Which does just mean that sometimes I'll play one game/do one hobby for a while then drop it, but maintaining a strict regimen for consuming said hobbies is as exhausting as recovering from hyper focus.

Fascinating stuff. I'm glad we're entering this new era of Linux application compatibility! And all through the honorable work of developers who are doing stuff just for the fun of it.

Reddit ahh post. Genuinely what is the point of Lemmy dot world if every community is just scolding people about the fact you're glazing a genocide denier

Maybe a total boycott of Russian economy would've had some domestic response, but in reality the only people sanctioning the Russian economy are the US and EU, which in itself represents a fraction of the world population and its economic output. The vast majority of the world's countries continued trading with Russia as usual, if not encouraged trade as Russia offers more favourable deals that the US and EU are unwilling to counter.

If the EU/US bloc was genuinely interested in anything other than a forever war to boost their military industrial complexes, they'd have put some of their economic power on the line to support global adoption of sanctions, but instead it is backfiring as BRICS slowly (but very surely) becomes a truly independent economic order of its own creation.

Deadlock! At least until I inevitably remind myself that multiplayer games are all bullshit and go back to enjoying SP games again.
