THE PENGUIN'S REIGN CANNOT BE STOPPED

Valve's pro scenes have remained sustainable, but that's largely because a portion of in-game microtransaction revenue goes to hosting tournaments and prize pools.

Of course, what source of money makes the lion's share at the largest and smallest levels of tourney play? Gambling sponsors! (And lootbox sales).

Still more credibility if you cite it rather than copy+paste XD

(And we can laugh at the poster who decided that was a valid source)

In US English classes at any level above middle school, the importance of finding valid sources and providing citations is emphasized, although that's mainly for essays and the like.

I could imagine it would be possible to adapt that mindset towards social media as well. Provide your sources, so you can prove you understand what you are saying. The foundations are there, they just need to be applied.

Linking to sources, that is a big one. Even something as honest as "I read it off this Wikipedia page [link]" goes a long way in showing that the poster is not pulling an idea out of their ass.

I will always prefer having debates where both sides cite their information, even if there isn't a satisfying agreement at the end. Plus, faulty sources can be debunked when more eyes are able to scrutinize it.

Yeah... I can see why that would be good for business. Especially since other forms of sports gambling are becoming legalized.

With that being said, I think this will increase community toxicity. Players of sports with active betting lines tend to get harassed when a "fan" loses their bet and gets angry at their performance.

Quite forward thinking of the Mekanism devs, then.

GOG games work under wine (just not gog galaxy), did the folder where the saves are locally stored get corrupted?

Gotta balance a blahaj in the center, at least that's what my GF tells me XD

It's both amazing and hilarious that our battery production is similar to modded Minecraft logic.
