lmao fuck off

Well, sure, but why the fuck do you need a quiz and a compass to tell you the general outlook of your politics? You need to know that anyway before you take the test.

Well, there are degrees of generality. You can have an incredibly nebulous or roundabout sense of where you stand politically, but maybe you want something a little bit more concrete, or a little bit less general—these tests provide that adequately. Maybe you don't know what "libertarian" means, and reading about them doesn't help you understand. To that end, I'd say they're mostly for people who are just stepping into the politisphere.

I don't take them seriously at all. Have you read PolCom's FAQs? The creators are the ones who take it too seriously.

Actually, reading their FAQ is what led me to understand that they don't take it that seriously.

Compasses are a bad way of determining actual political positioning, anyway. They can't sufficiently account for nuance or syncretism.

Well, no, it's just your job to interpret the questions properly. If you get hung up on how a question is worded rather than reading between the lines and understanding what is being asked, then of course you're not going to be satisfied with your result.

oh wait you're talking about the result itself, i'm doing many things at once here

uhhhh sure? but i would argue that compasses aren't designed to determine your actual political positioning, it's more of a general guideline

you people take them too seriously when they're obviously not meant to be

Most of them.

Yes, people have been offering for a while. I've had three myself. I would sooner destroy the account permanently then sell it so some Nu-Bungie fanboy can stroke his dick to a fucking avatar in Destiny.

idk, seems like a fair trade to me

i mean honestly if someone wanted to buy an account to a website that i don't use, why would i pass up such a quick and easy opportunity for some cash

my account is probably worth thousands

But has Nintendo fixed it's shitty online?

i mean naturally, the idea is that they'll use the profits gained from this to improve the service

which is not to say that they couldn't have done so with the money they already have, but whatever

Yeah, it's really bad marketing to (essentially) say "Pay $20 for a bad service and we'll make it better afterward!", while sitting in a money-filled room counting their benjamins.

i don't even think it's that bad tbh

i've been playing mario kart 8 online a lot, and the lag is pretty minimal

but i'm also rather forgiving so idk

Titanfall 2 is my favourite shooter in years.

Did you play mission 5?

i just played the first two, but i liked it enough to ask him to bring over his xbone again later

Awesome.

You gonna do a review/ Verb Plays... thread? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the campaign and multiplayer (if you end up trying it)

maybe

what annoys me is that the original titanfall is not available on any good platforms

This makes me want to get in on PC too. I feel like I would be really quite good at it.

what i dig the most about it is how it emphasizes finesse and relatively high APM gameplay, which tends to be on the lower end with your typical generic shooters

the weapons are neat too

That's both impressive and sad, and I'm not sure which I feel more.

it's not even finished, despite having been worked on since 2008

it has 200 something chapters, and the author plans to double that

my lap

or my bed

why does CMD hate this so much again?

it's pretty dope, actually

Okay this is pretty cool

Yeah. I'm confused as to whether you can keep the games you get, though.

Styx has yet to make a good video on any subject.

what the fuck lmao

Is that what you think boxing is?

That IS what boxing is.

I guess you're just not a competitive person.

I'm extremely competitive—why do you think I argue with people on the Internet so much? I'm just smart enough to exert that competitive energy in ways that aren't physically harmful, like video games. If I had a competitive e-sports scene for Street Fighter or some other competitive game that I play, I'd be way in there.

But like I said, I'm just too smart to invest in contact sports. They won't even exist in a hundred years.

Says you, the guy who has never played sports and acts like a basketball murdered his whole family.

I don't need to play sports to know that there's nothing to gain by playing them. I just have to observe.

Professional athletes get fame and fortune that they don't deserve when they win.

Everyone else loses and eats shit. They spent years and years working the court, working the court, working the court, just to sprain their ankle so badly that their entire career is over, when they would've just lost anyway. Fantastic.

That's just rude. The worst part is you don't even have a point to make and the world would definitely be worse off without sports. Whatever dude. If you don't like sports that's fine but you run around like you're the authority on every issue when you have such little life experience. You don't take into account how other people feel, you don't even seem to care. So what's the purpose in getting rid of sports? Making life even more miserable?

do you know how miserable people are when they lose

there are millions of athletes and only a small handful of them will ever experience the joy of winning

and it's a stupid thing to be happy about anyway—you didn't cure cancer, you didn't invent anything useful, you didn't solve a murder mystery, you just kicked a ball into a fucking net

fucking worthless

Getting hurt is a part of life. Boxing is a sport that requires people getting hurt.

boxing should be outright banned

getting hurt is a part of life, that doesn't mean you should play a sport where getting hurt is part and parcel

pain should always, ALWAYS be avoided

Why not?

because it contributes absolutely nothing valuable to society other than meaningless entertainment that can be accessed literally anywhere else
