kirbyThe combat was insanely good in TW3 tho
Thats... uhh... questionable.
The combat was probably the weakest part of the game, far and above.
As for CP2077, been a CDP fan since I played TW1 back in 2008 and I can only imagine where this game will go.
Probably will define a generation of RPG and open world games.
Whine like an absolute baby when they get more then 25 ping.
Can he view disabled devices in windows? I have a feeling that the mic is "disabled" in windows and being hidden by the system.
What headset is it? It's possible that windows won't see it as a mic device if it's a PS4 headset or something like that.
Beelthazus I never once stated it was his responsibility, and I have no clue what mental gymnastics you had go through to assume that. He left this community and he took tools that helped expand interest in tf2 with him.
The connotation of your two posts is that jon is a bad person because he is not standing up for "whats right" and taking his IP with him when he leaves. Sounds to me like you are trying to point fingers at him and say he should be doing more. Or is that assessment wrong?
BeelthazusI'm going to do some mental gymnastics too! I assume that you are saying that associating or participating in the competitive tf2 community, you are a racist, bigot, LGBT-phobic and that's why he left? See how assuming can be a flawed logic? Maybe I'm missing some details, but you shouldn't use inside info to explain things away.
No, associating with a nazi doesn't make you a nazi, but it also doesn't do anything good for your image or brand. In the same way that Jon putting his IP out publicly for a community that has a lot of really shitty things going on will not do anything good for his image or brand as a whole.
BeelthazusBattling ignorance is a team effort Tino. When he decided to leave this community he joined a short list of people who also did the same. These people are not here standing up for what they believe in, or what they think is right, they shrank in front of adversity. I'm not saying Jon is a bad person, or a bad guy, but what he did wasn't the right call. You don't have to agree with me, in fact I respect you for calling me out. However, I disagree with your stance.
The problem is people like you who think its over in a week, that the problem is just "fixed". These problems will be around until you die, and you will pass the mantle hopefully to your kids, whom if they are lucky enough will stand up for something in their lives. I'm not afraid to stand up to you, intolerance, hatefulness, or when the opportunity arises, to call out a coward. Jon doesn't owe me anything, but when you make a utility that everyone enjoys, uses and then takes it away because your feelings got hurt; You punish the majority for a minorities mistake?
That's the definition of bullshit.
1. Where did I ever say I thought it was over in a week? I said that the majority of the community doesn't care to do anything anymore.
2. You can stand up for whatever you want, but there was nothing intolerant, hateful or cowardly about what Jon, or me for that matter, has done. Unless you want to actually justify that somehow.
3. Your entire argument that Jon took stuff away because "his feelings got hurt" is so amazingly stupid I don't even know where to start. Ironically its literally the same shit as the morons that just say "ignore it" when racist shit gets flung around, so good job there. Secondly, his feelings didn't get hurt, it was a business decision.
4. The definition of bullshit is you implying that you, or anyone in this community somehow outright deserves the services and the projects that people in the community put together, and that those people are somehow bad people, or wrong, when they decide to kill off said services for any reason.
Your entire post literally comes off as someone who is whining because they didn't get their lollipop, when if you really want to fight for what what you say you do you should probably look at the actual issues instead and work towards fixing those instead of trying to scapegoat and blame the symptoms.
BeelthazusContinued from here HeregemmJust as I have the right to publicly criticize him for his public opinion and withdrawal from the community. Great for him, he doesn't have to listen to racism, bigotry, transpacific, homophobic, and general hate speech anymore. You can't put the blinders on when controversy happens, you have to engage it. If you don't, it changes you for the worst. It inverts the very essence that makes you who you are, it turns casual interest into radicalism and apathy.BeelthazusI feel like jon's statements are a big cop out, an easy answer to a difficult question of racism and bigotry in this community. We all have to deal with this idiocy jon, but that dosen't mean you take the first bus out of controversy-vile.
gjon donated a LOT of time and money into building things for the community long after he had truly been invested in the scene. he doesn't owe anyone anything and if he doesn't feel proud of being part of the community he has his rights to take his own stuff down and not share it.
This is how we fight the war on racism, hate speech and bigotry; By having this conversation as much as we can until people realize that it isn't OK. This isn't a meme, this isn't a game, and the internet is a reflection of real life too. You can all be afraid behind your monitors, trembling at the fact that adversity and controversy has invaded your safe space. Until all understand that this is a monster that must be killed, and the sooner the better we will be off. We kill it by being informed, talking to each-other, being open minded, and not shrinking away from things that make us uncomfortable.
This isn't going to be easy, but running away just means we never tried.
1. Why is it Jon's responsibility to try and fix a game and a community he doesn't actually even engage with outside of a VERY small group of people?
2. Optics matter. It's not about "fixing things" for him, it's about being able to show his brand in a respectable way, and what's currently going on is not respectable.
3. Why the fuck are you trying make Jon a bad guy here? You are saying all this shit about how we need to fix stuff and yet the vast majority of people were mad for like a week and a half and now no one really gives a shit anymore. Go do something yourself before you start to point fingers about how someone else isnt doing enough.
Par for the course as an EE fan currently. Stomp early game, then proceed to 322 and loose a 40k nw add because the fountain is OP.
Real talk, we did this shit with banny in UGC some seasons ago. The GF's just turn into a meme fest and everyone hates it for like 45 min. Not playing is better then subjecting people to shit TF2 for the sake of just playing. Especially when the games are a forgone conclusion.
faust_catman1900hard pill to swallow: free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequences
i just wanna know who becomes in charge of deciding what's offensive and what's not.
as an exaggerated example if i call my friend ugly in chat am i now banned or am i missing the point? seems like it could derail very quickly.. the whole process would be very subjective
Slippery slope fallacy. No one is getting banned for stuff like that.
AdramelekGrenjabobgorestonJust a quick note to say fuck anyone who's pretending this is difficult. "Ooh, are we going to ban anyone who says anything mean?" Everyone in this thread is capable of telling the difference between trash talk and discrimination, or you'd all have been fired/kicked out of school/beaten up repeatedly by now.
This. Always this.
People concern trolling this nonsense can get in the sea.
"He has a different opinion than me, therefore concern troll."
It's tough to tell if you are trolling or not because for any reasonable person there is a massive line in the sand between calling someone a "gook" and saying "lol ur trash kid"
faust_people can say whatever they want in a free society
grow a thicker skin, being tormented on the internet isn't the end of the world. if it doesn't feel good feel free to torment others too. you're allowed.
the more you try to separate yourself from your feelings getting hurt the more you're gonna get hurt when you can't prevent it anymore. i try to spread positivity and love to anyone who does the same to me and i think this is the only way to minimize negative encounters with others. not to say there won't be conflicts, especially with prejudiced or bigoted individuals but at the end of the day you have to be a bigger person, not silence their voice.
Sure people can say whatever the fuck they want, but they are NOT protected from people saying shit back to them or ostracizing them for what they say. The 1st only protects what you can say from govt action and coincidentally it also ONLY applies to people in the US, neither Uberchain nor the morons are US citizens.
So I got no fuckign idea what you are on about, but you should really stop tying to justify this shit with so little information because your ignorance is showing.
MakyAzazel-Makyif we start banning players who said dumb and sexist things, then many members of the community, including myself, would be banned.mad_dogWhat about all the people saying the N word? should we ban them??
thank you both for these excellent suggestions. yes. ban hammer
The narrative that we can just ban people because they think differently, needs to stop. Just because I have a differing opinion then you doesn't mean you have the right to ban me or anyone else.
Well actually everything done in TF2 is a private service, so yeah, we kinda can just ban anyone for any reason.
sacGentlemanJonsmzi/thread so people can atleast preserve some of their dignityToo late for that.
I've been on the fence about keeping my various bits and pieces going, and it's just not worth it is it? The unchallenged levels of toxic behaviour make it an embarrassment to admit to being involved in comp TF2 now. This seems as good a moment as any to make that decision.
why punish the silent majority of frendly tf2 gamers because of the actions of idiots. tf2 comp teams have brought people from all over the world together and appreciate each other and created lasting friendships.
Because the game is more or less dead as it is anyways. There is ZERO reason or net gain from participating in a situation like this because the stream numbers are shit, the player numbers are shit, the top level of the game is absolutely shit for competition and it seems that more then a few players are ok with being pieces of shit as well.
Nothing is gained and reputation can only be lost, anyone big not leaving at this point is more then questionable.
