Destiny 2 wasn't free when it came out. Those assholes tricked me into paying for that garbage.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but NT was usually called NT 4.0 by those of us who worked with it. You're probably better off skipping it anyways, it was terrible for anything other than file server...ing.

Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.

Windows 98 enters the chat

Yeah I knew someone was going to respond to my rhetorical "I have no idea" and explain it like I actually care. It's like saying I have no idea why people buy Microsoft or use Twitter despite them being despicable. Obviously there are lot of things about them that a lot of people like. Obviously not everyone knows about all the despicable things these companies have done and continue to do. Obviously not everyone would care enough to stop using them even if they did know.

But it still frustrates me. I wish the world was a place where companies like VW couldn't possibly exist because their own employees would never let them do the things they did, much less their customers or the regulators who are supposed to protect us despite ourselves. But, alas, we do not. And I have no idea why. (<--- Rhetorical! Nobody has to try to explain why.)

In case we needed yet another reason to avoid that company. I have no idea why they're so successful despite being absolutely despicable.

I was really looking forward to another Arkham style game. Sucks for me that they decided to go in another direction. Doubly bad when that direction (live service co-op) is one I couldn't enjoy even if I wanted to (and to be clear, I don't).

Full disclosure, it's been many years since my last LoL game. It's possible they've taken steps to mitigate that particular issue, but it's just one of many.

LoL is the poster child for toxic community. The game is fantastic but it's really not worth playing because the other people ruin the fun.

It really only takes one person to ruin a match and you're always playing with 9 other people (in the "main" game mode). Because of the way ranking work, leaving early because of a troll actually punishes you so you are incentivized to stay in a game that you're not enjoying. It makes people cranky and they tend to take it out on internet strangers.

And for some reason, only in LoL do they seem to feel free to use the most despicable language you can imagine.

Anyways, there are other games in the same genre if you want to try them. DOTA2 is the obvious one, though I personally think it's a worse game than LoL. The Blizzard one was really good but it was shut down IIRC.

Oh, instead of giving money to the developers and charity, we can instead give money to thieves and scammers? Wow! Thanks! Fuck charity and the people who make the games I want to play, amirite?

Shocking! Next they're going to imply that Trump somehow was affiliated with a riot or something!

This is Clippy v2.0 and I'm sure it will be just as helpful.
