Gentoo

Please take the time to recognize that people of all walks of life were involved in the slave trade; we are all capable of oppression and evil, no matter the color of our skin. Let's also not forget the fallen heroes and brave abolitionists that made this holiday possible

Can someone rotate this 180° and put it on the political compass? I'm at work rn and can't Photoshop

Map just blows, sorry buddy

Is this for an entire build or are you trying to upgrade your current setup? For the latter, it would be helpful to know what you already have. Chances are that you're actually looking to upgrade your GPU rather than your mobo and CPU.

You need a budget Unless you're trying to cop one of these bad boys

A travesty

What are you using to connect? Ethernet, on board wifi? A dongle? These issues are usually hardware related so it's difficult to help you without knowing that.

WE STAY RISING UP AS OF TODAY, ELECTRIC IS ON HOLD AS @Hypno AND I CRANK BANGERS.

It's pretty baffling to see that many people seem more concerned with the legitimacy of a thread rather than addressing the rather serious issue at hand. Moving along, while having a "just report it" policy can make sense, there a few noticeable holes in this modus operandi. Primarily, it fails to acknowledge situations that aren't report or don't have enough context. Many players may feel uncomfortable with a certain environment due to the language being used, but don't feel the need to report something as it isn't specifically directed towards them, or it's coming from a community member that may be considered higher than them in experience, rank, etc. A lot of times people like this will just leave. There's numerous examples of this that you could poke into if you were so inclined, but rather than scrutinizing details you can look at the bigger picture. Almost every substantial community is more diverse than us - looking at our rules and the general atmosphere, it's not likely a coincidence that certain people may choose a community with a culture and ruleset that seems more catered towards protecting them. Choosing to cater what language can be used and fostering a more welcoming culture will most likely allow this community to foster a more diverse community. It's not always about harassment, it's about making sure that people don't feel uncomfortable even from things that aren't pointed at them. Additionally, the "report it" policy introduces a substantial amount of bias. Reporting, by nature, only gives one side of the story. While looking into both sides could improve this issue, it's clear that this amount of effort and diligence is not always put forth when resolving conflicts. Even when looking into both sides of a story, having rules aimed exclusively at harassment introduces guesswork that must be done to find out someone's intentions, their history of behavior, context behind the interaction between the players, whether or not the interaction even happened, who's side of the story to believe, etc. Having hard and fast rules on things removes much of this guesswork in many situations and keeps people from toeing the line of what is acceptable while also ensuring staff aren't punishing those they shouldn't by misinterpreting intentions etc. Maybe it would be too much work to write out an exhaustive list of slurs - I don't think that means having any sort of list or policy on it is without utility. This seems like avoiding working towards a solution altogether because the perfect solution wouldn't be feasible.

For years I shared a similar sympathy - that people on the internet should just toughen up a bit, brush things off. It's clear to me that this just isn't the case. It's not immediately obvious when you've hurt someone. It's not their responsibility to tell you they've been hurt. Certain words are far more likely to be hurtful than to have any meaningful utility or comedic value in conversation. I don't see why the stance taken on racism shouldn't be extended here as well.

I appreciate the concern, but as a former manager, I am more than capable of handling a bit of name-calling and resolving disputes on my own. While this behavior is unacceptable, I would hate too see these hard working staff members chastised over what they perceived as a simple joke among friends. I trust that the Board is more than capable of accurately assessing situations and warning these individuals accordingly. Once again, I appreciate it. I see no sense in digging up the past as people are constantly changing and working on themselves. As many of you know, I have turned a new leaf in the past weeks and have made efforts to be a more loving and accepting person. In the past I was a hateful and ignorant person, and for that I am deeply sorry. I think the answer here is fairly cut and dry. In the past, we've made our stance in racism very clear - jokes and teasing are acceptable but slurs and insults are not, and should not be directed towards people. We are all fully aware of what constitutes a hateful slur - these should be strictly forbidden. The staff should be able to compile a rough list if needed

Recently the Site Banner and Discord Logo were changed to (I assume) celebrate Pride Month. While this is a good thing, I think it needs to be reverted for the following reasons: -There are no formal rules to protect players on the servers from homophobia and bigotry. While there are rules in place against harassment, they require it to be reported by s player, or a repeated history of harassment for admins to take action. I have been called a faggot, twink, and glizzy gobbler on the servers with no interjection from admins active on the server. -There is a multitude of openly homophobic and transphobic staff in the community. Staff will openly use homophobic slurs in the discord, on the forums, and make 'gay jokes' that are harmful to the LGBTQ community. -While the community has donated to several causes in charities in the past, not once has an effort been made to raise funds for LGBTQ charities or foundations. For these reasons, it almost appears that the community is merely taking the piss out of Pride Month (or is just tone deaf), which is wildly disrespectful.

Wrong thread

Having the most amount of likes on a given day will cause you to win that day. Gotta get more likes man

Yeah you're funny...funny looking

Hello the !dz weapons get thrown when you right click by default, hence why the feature is disabled. Left clicks do 35 damage to the front and 250 to the back to compensate.

What is this supposed to mean?

American Psycho, take it or leave it

Y'all should take some inspiration from Warowl's videos. The last and only scrim event I remember (apart from SGSL) was mirrored maps; while neat, I think it would be cool to spice up gameplay HARD as it's not something most players will have the opportunity to experience elsewhere. Nospread, bhop, different HP, bumpmines, etc. The more cancer the better. Not to get too off topic, but as a side note, it usually takes 20+ minutes to get enough people and get things set up for a scrim so we'll usually just end up 5 manning a comp instead. Maybe offering things normal competitive can't like an extended map pool could bring some life back into the server. I understand that scrim has tended to have a 'serious vanilla' tone previously or whatever, but it's been a long time since the server has had regular pop; maybe it's time to try branching out and seeing if regs want to take things in a different direction.

Congrats!!

Having models free for supporters of the matching rank and at a set price for players below that rank seems like the most logical thing to do. Imagine spending $15 a month and not being able to get the coolest models on the server because they were gone by the time you had credits saved up. Alternatively, spending $20 on credits and having to wear regular skins like a chump. This would allow models to be swapped more frequently while adding a better incentive for being a supporter. Think in terms of playtime when considering the prices for models, especially for those that are for quick events like this. Player sees dope model that costs 10k and is only available to supporters. Decides to sub for the model, getting an 8x credit multiplier only to realize its going to take 20 hours in game for him to be able to get it anyways. Personally, I think the store should branch some from the model swapping mentality anyways, as there's only a limited number of models out there and supporter regs are able to bank enough credits to live off of after about 6 months to a year of playtime unless you're constantly shafting them by making them rebuy the same models. Trails are stupid easy to make if someone was able to get the media/modding team on it, and hats/masks/nadeskins are substantially easier than models as they don't need rigged or animated. Hell, if you had a warden plugin, you could even do custom marker effects ;)

The map seemed a bit to large for our pop, but it was a cool idea nonetheless. Maybe it would fare better if it was modified to fit an existing map that works for our server and people are already familiar with. Wouldn't mind setting it up on Prison Architect as it seems like it'd fit perfectly.

Yo @Zero Two why is ^ this guy's brain so small? Also what's your favorite movie with a 2hr+ runtime?
