  • As someone who moved to Cincinnati for a few years and then moved away, Cincinnati chili is god awful. I tried it multiple times, but it’s absolutely wild to me that people pay money for it.

    Maybe if I grew up with it I’d like it before knowing how horrible it is compared to pretty much every other kind of spaghetti. But no, it’s just crappy sweetness on noodles with a huge pile of cheese on top 🤮








  • Absolutely.

    The key gambling system 100% impacted the community, who are the ones to provide gameplay to each other in these games.

    All previous Counter-Strike game had a 100% level playing field— all players had access to the same gear and visuals. This equity was very important to gameplay by keeping it competitive, specifically being able to recognize weapons and enemies easily.

    CS:GO took a sharp turn with this, effectively ending equity in the game. Not only did you have to spend money if you wanted you or your gear to look like others, but it also made it much more difficult to recognize enemies and gear people were carrying unless you more carefully inspected them. Bits sticking out around corners became much more difficult to recognize.

    There is likely much more impact to the game and its development on various levels, but this is a clear example of a negative impact of microtransactions being introduced.
