  • I’m conflicted here

    On one hand, I play GTA Online, and the amount of hackers is getting out of hand. Most are chill, some are extremely annoying and blow up everyone in the lobby with 800 million explosions a second. In this case, I’m annoyed that I can’t play it and glad there’s anti cheat.

    On the other hand, I didn’t realize that BattlEye would prevent Linux users from playing entirely. I’m not a Linux user (yet) myself, but that really sucks. Also, rockstar is extremely predatory with the shark cards (it was worse with Red Dead Online!) so they do kinda deserve it as some form of karma for being terrible

    Edit: EAC -> BattlEye












  • It’s not always a conscious decision, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t sometimes. I would argue that many more bad drivers are just bad drivers rather than they can’t help it. I could be very wrong about that, but it won’t change my anger when someone almost causes a pile up because they didn’t look before changing lanes, you know?

    I do agree that having poor/no public transportation (and no sidewalks!) is terrible, and I think a lot of cities that want to keep their residents alive are working to fix that, such as the city I live in. They’re adding sidewalks in a bunch of places and making downtown more walkable, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still mostly stroads!



  • I watch people do this all the time on local roads! It happens on interstates here as well!

    Just yesterday I almost had someone pit maneuver themselves on the front of my work truck (that was towing a heavily loaded trailer!) I still don’t know why they didn’t just slow down and go behind me (or SPEED UP A LITTLE MORE) rather than almost cause a terrible accident, since they turned right 20 seconds later and had ample time to do so
