Reply to comment by Graviton_Lancelot in Why do first-person shooter players complain about Skill-Based Matchmaking? by [deleted]
What does that have to do with not liking skills based matchmaking?
yax51 t1_jebzxsb wrote
I think part of it is that as you get better, it becomes harder to find matches. Especially at the higher tiers. Additionally, as you get to the higher tiers, every game becomes (as one redditor described it) "the final round of a tournament". Most people want a chill casual game or two, and not have to enter full on high level play all the time.
It also seems to restrict various play styles and/or builds (depending on the game). You can't mess around with something that can't compete on the highest levels, and expect not to just be destroyed over and over again.

Why did the Washington Post claim that Trump regulations regarding small-arms exports would put American guns in the hands of terrorists, dictators, and gangs?

You know, I was totally on the fence about climate change. But dude eating a hot chili pepper totally changed my mind.

Path of Exile: Lunaris Temple level 2. In the background you can hear the tortured screams and the sheer terror. They did such a good job, it makes me so uncomfortable.

This and the sequel, Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms were EPIC!! I can't remember how many hours I've put into those games.

HR is misnamed. Their entire purpose is to protect the company. They don't care about you as an employee. At all.
In order to move on, I would start by looking for a new job.

I've been driving in all sorts of weather for ~25 years and never once had any issue with ice or other bad roads (or any accidents either) until that night. I usually take it slow and am a cautious driver. But apparently I wasn't cautious enough. But I appreciate the thoughts! :)

Thanks. The realization of what happened is hitting me now, and I'm barely hanging on.
As for the finances, they will get better soon. Just started a new job (that is almost double what I was making previously) and haven't got a full paycheck yet.
