Off Topic / is soccer or football (american) better
« on: October 29, 2018, 01:38:21 PM »
question of the ages
soccer loving sucks, you kick some balls and run around, but the second you get touched you turn into a blob of jelly and start crying
meanwhile in football you get hit real hard and stand the forget back up, and you slam people to the ground as hard as possible
debate now

Games / Red Dead Redemption 2 Megathread [No online yet]
« on: October 27, 2018, 04:47:05 PM »
Rockstar just released Red Dead Redemption 2 yesterday, so I figured I'd make a megathread.
Red Dead Redemption 2makes you feel like Batman is an open world game developed by Rockstar games. It is the prequel to the original RDR, and was released on 10/26/18, and currently has no multiplayer. The game is highly detailed, and in general has amazing game design, graphics, but it has some bugs as expected. You play as Arthur Morgan, who has just recently grouped up with his gang as they ran away from a rival gang. During your escape, you and your group all run into a massive snow storm. From there, it is up to mostly you to help keep the gang and others safe and healthy.

Off Topic / My mom is actually insane
« on: October 21, 2018, 08:08:24 PM »
So earlier today my parents got in an argument about some stuff and one thing led to another, she ended up throwing a tv off of its stand and broke 4 plates. My dad went outside for like an hour, until I was throwing away food and water in my dogs food bowl since it was all nasty. Next thing you know, when I walk inside the house, she was throwing all the laundry downstairs and then threw a painting with glass covering it. It landed like 4 feet away from me, so in turn I threw the damn bowl at her, it clocked her straight in the head and I ran. She's been pissed off at me all day, and my dad has to defend her actions because he doesn't want his ass beat. Now she is loving mad at me at this point, so she chucks my football stuff and everything in my closet downstairs, and ends up scraping the walls and dislocating like 7 pads in my football helmet. I have a feeling she hurt the smallest dog we have earlier because she was freaking out and limping around after she broke the plates.
She trashed my whole loving room and so now I have to clean it up, and she's making me clean up the walls because apparently us mondays got our dirty hands all over her walls
There are air guns in the back of our car our neighbor gave us when we left Michigan, so I brought one in because I'm honestly scared, and she does wild stuff and has proven in the past she is not afraid to attack.
I don't know what to do at this rate

Off Topic / looking to upgrade my cpu, any advice?
« on: October 18, 2018, 08:16:20 PM »
im looking to upgrade my pc cpu from a pentium g3258 to an i5 4690k, here are my currents specs, any recommended upgrades first?
https://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3-90-GHz-
Specs:
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 770
RAM: 8GB DDR3
PSU: TX 750W, I believe the brand is corsair, unsure atm
NB Fan: Autolizer LED 120mm fan
SYS Fan: Coolmaster case fan
CPU Fan: Coolmaster fan, presumably coolmaster heatsink too, if not unknown heatsink
Motherboard: ECS H81H3-A3, 2 ram slots, LGA 1150 CPU socket, looking to upgrade to quad core CPU with at least 3.3Ghz
also is 4 threads enough for games like rust, kerbal space program, arma 3, and basically cpu intensive games?

Off Topic / New Discord TOS change, legal issues may arrise.
« on: October 18, 2018, 01:42:26 PM »
As far as I know, this means that Discord is either not liable for information leaks or can't be sued for said issues, intentional or not. Either that or you must have to go to an arbitrator first, which will prevent people from filing a lawsuit together. Could mean big trouble for the company
Quote from Cybervision's Discord:
Quote from Cybervision's Discord:
Quote
@everyone Discord has changed their Terms of Service!
Unfortunately, this change comes with a revocation of your legal rights. Discord has revoked your right to sue (you must go through an arbitrator) and to congregate as a class action lawsuit.
Luckily, there is an opt-out for the clause, in which you must email arbitration-opt-out@discord.com, but you must do it within 30 days or you can no longer opt-out.
YOU CANNOT DELETE OR DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT TO OPT-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE
You can see the added clauses for yourself here: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c93697c9d59ec2f0d8071b7d0e907632
I will attempt to answer some common questions.
Q: Is this enforceable?
In the United States, yes. This was decided by the Supreme Court in 2011. See https://gc.gy/7538114
In Europe, no. There are many clauses, a relevant one is Article 77 of the GDPR ("Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority").
Q: Why does this matter?
Without the ability to congregate for a class action lawsuit, if Discord ever leaks your data or does something catastrophically bad to a large portion of the population you have no way to representatively sue together without each of you individually suing via the arbitrator.
Please see the following article: https://gc.gy/7538130
Essentially:
1. Your right to file a complaint in the court of law is removed.
2. The arbitration system tends to heavily favour the company rather than the consumer.
3. Since your right to pool similar complaints together is taken away, the amount of damage you can do to a company that has wronged you significantly is limited to those who are willing to arbitrate.
Q: Why should I care? Other companies do it too!
By learning about this I hope that you will be more conscious about these arbitration clauses and how anti-consumer they are. You can't change the past, but you surely can't predict the future either.
