Switched from the Corsair Dark Core to Log G502, no regrets!

Logitech’s G-hub software is miles better than Corsair’s iCue software

That last sentence almost made me spit out my coffee, kudos to that

What is there to take seriously? It’s a community vote on what games people liked across various categories. If the outcome of the vote isn’t to your liking, accept that your opinion differs from them and move on. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that.

Fuck around and find out, as they say

If the west needs any more encouragement to assist Ukraine, here it is.

The choice is help Ukraine now, or kick the can down the road and lament when Russia is at your borders.

Oh that’s one hell of a one-liner, I like it!

It’s why I imagine the Russian government has been trying to frame this as “self-defense” to its own people, when it’s clearly the opposite.

They know that people will go to extreme lengths to fight when they believe they’re fighting defensively, for their own people, sovereignty, safety, etc. To that end, it won’t matter if they can realistically defeat NATO- they just want their own people to die trying.

That’s literally what it comes down to. I don’t think it requires clean language or flowery etiquette. A country is at risk of losing their freedom and independence because another country wants to conquer it for the sake of land, wealth, and perceived glory.

There is no simpler way to explain Ukraine’s justification in continuing the fight than how Zelenskyy put it. The reasoning is sound. And it’s a much-needed reminder for anybody who forgot amidst the politics surrounding the war.

If I was in that scenario, I would be more emotionally charged about the subject and rightfully so. But that doesn’t rewrite the facts of the situation- that this distinction is correct.

Misunderstanding your enemy is never a good idea, as it’s important to know what makes them tick. If they were all compliant fascists, that changes what kind of tactics are used to break their morale and even have a portion surrender, compared to being conscripts who don’t even believe in what they’re fighting for.

When I bought a Dell G7 around 5 years ago (1060, i7) I got it open box at Best Buy, which saved a good bit of money as opposed to buying it completely new. Haven’t kept up with gaming laptops in a bit, as I upgraded to a desktop recently, but if you go down the laptop route, looking into open box offers at retailers is worth it imo.

LMAO

I work with C# daily and even I didn’t realize I made a pun there xD

Maybe it’s just embedded in my subconscious at this point…

I can’t express how much I respect that man’s mental fortitude. It’s so easy to succumb to rage and hatred when your own son passes away. Not only stifle those kneejerk reactions, but to still demonstrate humility to that degree is rare.

Godot is a good example of a free and well-developed open source game engine. It’ll probably see a sharp rise in adoption following this controversy from Unity.

It’s still bad for their profit margins when their stocks fall by 8% in one day, when major indie developers announce they’ll be moving their current projects off of Unity and future developers are deterred from using their software in the first place.

Whether they care about money or care about public relations, their shooting themselves in the foot on both counts.

Here’s an archive.org link to the article to get past the paywall

As cautious as I like to be, I think this seems like a reasonable response and approach. It benefits Ukraine, even if it’s marginal, and while Russia will argue it’s an attempt to meddle directly in their war (Putin will find a reason to whine anyways), most of the world will see it as Romania attempting to protect their own land.

How could Putin even argue against this? By claiming Romania has no right to shoot down a Russian missile that’s already violated international airspace? The rest of the world will just laugh and ignore yet another meaningless complaint- just one of many.

Thank you for advocating for the murder of volunteers from my country serving Ukraine and acting like a child when confronted about it. I’m sure me and other users’ opinion of your country has improved significantly and are more open to renegotiating embargoes.

On one hand, my interests and values couldn’t diverge from that of Russian nationalists any further

On the other hand, I love me some infighting among the Russians; the less they’re on the same page, the better

It’s a shame that most of the groups/people involved voted in favor of admitting Russian players back in, at least under the Russian flag.

I think the decision made by FIDE (International Chess Federation) for their sport is a fine compromise that this E-Sports federation should have adopted as well. In protest of the Ukraine invasion, FIDE banned any players from playing under the Russian or Belarusian flag, but allowed them to play anyways under a neutral, FIDE flag. And for players from Russia that were outspoken against Ukraine or in favor of Russia’s invasion (i.e. Sergey Karjakin), they were penalized and barred from play on an individual case-by-case basis.

It shows that this invasion won’t be tolerated, but at the same time, you as a player will only be punished if you choose to support it on your own volition, rather than by association.

Immense courage this must have taken, for 31 people to brave minefields knowing what was ahead of them.
