The 4 years of Trumpsanity isn't starting in January, it's starting right now. For fucks sake, I'm not ready yet. I need to start stockpiling popcorn and booze. Except this time I'll probably need less popcorn and more booze because I don't think it's going to be as stupid funny as last time. It's already not funny, it's been nosediving into "could it get any worse?" and so far the answer has been "Yes!".

I'll happily be wrong, I'd love an 11th team on the grid. I had the impression it was more a goal for Andretti himself rather than the team, so when Andretti stepped down I figured that was it for the F1 plans as well. If they'll still push to get into F1 I'm all for it, I just don't see it happening without Andretti at the helm.

Isn't Andretti also out of the picture?

Because most of the communities are on those 2 instances. In terms of userbase world does have the most users, but they're the exception as other "big" instances are more evenly split.

So instead of a single instance going down we have 2 main instances that need to go down, and even if they go down we'd have lemmee, shitjustworks, lemmyca and blahaj (and I guess also lemmynsfw) communities feeding the feed.

Nice of you to assume you won't get mandatory military service.

What if your hobby is reading tarot cards?

If the concept is appealing to you it could also mean that Factorio itself doesn't suit you. For example I find the concept appealing and I did put a fair bit of time into Factorio, but in the end it just didn't click. But I loved playing through Satisfactory and I'm currently playing through Techtonica which I'm also enjoying. Maybe one day I'll learn to love Factorio but in the mean time there are other factory builders that I'm enjoying.

Someone probably should the governmental stick up their ass for this. I'm pretty sure all the parts that end up in Russian arsenal have export restrictions and should, in theory, have strict oversight. You can't just export into another country and forget about it. If those parts want to be to be exported into another country that information should come back to the seller(or the government agency, don't really remember the specifics) who then have to give clearance for that and any future exports. But you can't keep track of under the table deals. Hopefully this gets investigated and justice is served but I don't have much faith.

It is a feeling thing, you don't actually get more vertical space because most games don't change the vertical field of view with the aspect ratio. If you're playing on 16:9 and you go to 4:3 it should give you more vertical space. But the games I've tested the the vertical field of view stays the same. Vertically you see just as much as with 16:9, but horizontally you see less because the aspect ratio gets cropped horizontally. Same applies with 21:9 and 16:9. You get the same amount of vertical space with 21:9 as you do with 16:9, the actual difference is in horizontal space.

The difference you feel is just an illusion. Even in that video I agree that 4:3 really does feel like you're getting more vertical space. However the cropped sides break the illusion and show that you're not actually seeing more vertically. But it's a feeling thing so there's no wrong or right answer. If you feel like you're getting more vertical space from 16:9 then you're getting more from 16:9. I don't feel that so I appreciate the extra horizontal space.

Fair enough. I haven't tried that.

Until you get an ultrawide screen. It's one of those things where once you get it you've ruined how things used to be. That extra horizontal space makes all the difference. I don't play on the TV anymore because it doesn't matter how big the TV is, it's still 16:9 and it's just too narrow. Going from 21:9 to 16:9 feels like going from 16:9 to 4:3. It just feels off putting.

Ultrawide feels so good I'm genuinely sad it hasn't been picked up by the TV manufacturers. Considering 2.39:1 is a common aspect ratio in cinematography ultrawide TVs would be a near perfect fit as 21:9 comes down to 2.33:1.

Hello

This community has been rather inactive for a long time and probably partly because the community creator and former mod was never active. There's also no strong CS community on lemmy so I decided to step up and hopefully shape this community into a healthy CS community, because I love CS and I don't want to go Reddit for my CS fix.

Moving forward I will take a more active role in this community to post content for others to discuss. To focus the discussions I will start by creating megathreads for the bigger happenings in the community. For instance instead of having 20 posts about the HLTV top 20 players that will get little to no comments, I will create a HLTV top 20 megathread to get more a discussion going on.

At least that's the plan, please do stick around and help me (by posting, commenting and upvoting) help you get this community up and running.

 

I would like to take a mod position to try and get this community off the ground as @Osiris seems to be inactive.

 

From Twitter:

As a few negotiations with teams have fallen through and with the upcoming release of CS2 I would like to state that I’m currently a free agent and am interested to go all-in given the right team! Retweets appreciated!
