No, that’s not what’s happening. There’s a lot of drama going on in the pro scene right now. Relationship drama and potentially actual physical and sexual abuse led to some players being banned from PHL, then the players who were accused rounded up a bunch of pro players to boycott PHL this season which led to Embark removing the ability for players in PHL to skip open qualification for TGM26. Now everyone is scrambling to cover their own asses and figure out how to proceed.

Not trying to change your mind because if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but the fame was developed and play tested as a PvE game. It was slated for release before The Finals. The playtesting revealed that the game was just not fun. The developers, the play testers, everyone involved felt it was boring. They delayed the game and created what was released.

I understand not personally enjoying what was released, but Embark made a decision to change the gameplay during development on their own, they weren’t forced to by a publisher or anything, and they didn’t renege on any promise or anything.

I upgraded from an fx6300 to a Ryzen R5 1600 when they launched, and that was mind blowing. I can’t imagine what going from an fx6300 to an R5 in 2025 would feel like. That processor has been released 13 years before you upgrade, that’s impressive.

I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.

As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.

These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.

It’s a blog post.

I know they’re not.

I have a passport. I flat out refuse to get a real id until I have no other option at my local dmv. Feds can get fucked making states do shit for them.

It’s an archive site, what form fields would you be POSTing?

It has to have been massive. That first summer it was out felt like pre-release PUBG, everyone was playing it.

I’m a huge proponent of LaTeX also, but I feel like it’s not that widely used outside of specific professional niches. The biggest issue I have with Word (and similar software) is the content generation and typesetting being forced into the same interface. It just breaks everything all the time. I’d much happier using word if it only allowed you to type in an Edit mode, and only allowed you to change fonts and layout and stuff in a View mode, and the View mode changes weren’t reflected live in the Edit mode.

Why are you tagging me? Please stop engaging with me this is completely unproductive.

Stop replying to me.

Dude why are you still replying to me? What’s wrong with you?

Edit - Rhetorical questions, stop talking to me.

I’m done engaging with you that’s for sure.

Sick burn bro. Never said I’d leave anyway, just that I’d stop donating so don’t know why you’re saying bye.

You realize that acting like a child doesn’t really help anyone take you seriously right?

Yeah you nailed it. There’s been quite a few votes with quite a few vocal people that are just not it. I left sh.itjust.works to come here because the vibe shifted on a similar trajectory. I’ve been donating to this instance monthly since I joined, but I’m close to pulling the fucking plug on it.

Or not exposed to the internet. Maybe the owner pulled the repo previously, left their weekend project alone for a bit, then came back to it after all this media attention.

Honestly not surprised. Organizations have patch and vulnerability management procedures, people just run shit until they’re prompted to update, and if they git cloned they’ll probably never be prompted.
