Yeah, I kind of intentionally avoided saying AFPS because unfortunately these days that tends to mean (like with diabotical) games which are desperate to be the most hypercompetitive aspects of quake. Duels or FFA aren't really my thing, give me teams and objectives!

Perhaps unsurprisingly UT2k4 is one of my favorite of all time

Valorant I can't speak to, since I can't play it on Linux.

CS I've played a lot of and it's fantastic just a bit too slow paced/tactical for me. Your right though that it's a fantastically designed game and a really good shout.

Overwatch I strongly disagree with. The maps have clean lines, but with the character design, abilities, and UI they clearly prioritise being flashy over anything else. It's really visually loud for the sake of it and too much for me.

I think what the OP is referring to is that Trump HASN'T had any real repercussions for acting the way he has, whereas a 'normal' person would have ended up with charges by now.

I'd like multiplayer shooters that put emphasis on clean visuals designed to transmit information as well as more emphasis on movement.

Even with all the hats, visibility in TF2 is a masterpiece compared to 90% of games. One team always bright red, one team is always bright blue. The maps aren't full of noisy scenery and still look great.

In Germany at least they are generally not any worse than any other public toilet.

America actually has very little geographic variation in accents.

In the UK, for instance, it can change drastically from village to village.

Thing is, those who are against immigration are much more motivated. This is generally how politics goes, that a motivated minority can eventually get their way against a less-interested majority. As great as it is, that was largely what happened in the other direction with issues such as gay marriage.

For those who are anti-immigration this is often the only topic they care about, or they care much more about this than anything else. On the other hand, those who are pro-immigration are largely either mildly-favorable towards it or they care much more about other issues.

Personally I think that left-leaning parties in Europe basically have two options currently:

-Fight against anti-immigration stances and then lose power.

-Focus on other topics while getting tougher on immigration.

It might not be the smartest move to be anti-immigration, but unfortunately in a democracy feelings are usually more important than facts and one of the biggest issues with the left is not being able to accept that.----

For me it's less about bandwidth and more about not having to worry about building/ maintaining ratio. It's just one less thing to think about.

I love seeding so I thought private trackers would be for me, but it's so hard to go positive when EVERYONE is trying to. Yeah, there is freeleach but then I was downloading a bunch of stuff that I didn't want, just for the sake of it.

I've been enjoying it on the deck but I haven't found any settings to make it run smooth as butter.

Especially in the last act where there is a lot going on I had to switch to my desktop.

That said, I actually prefer the interface on the deck to the desktop, despite being historically a pc guy

I used to use US international, but a few years back switched to Eurkey which is essentially just an upgraded/turbocharged version.

Might be too much for you, but I can't live without it nowadays!

As a Spurs fan, inspiring hope then creating back to reality is also typical Spurs...just wait

I know a few people who live in Amsterdam and they all said basically the same thing: as it currently is, most locals don't really go there because it's miserable due to all the poorly behaved tourists. I'm sure that there are plenty of locals that may disagree, but it seems to be mostly an area for tourists.

Like any situation there are going to be winners and losers, but I feel that this is most likely a fairly large net positive for most residents.
