dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Chuds complaining about SBMM never fails to amuse. Very easy to troll them too, they are literally complaining about a skill issue.

I hadn't heard about this but it's baffling to me that anyone would complain about SBMM. Where's the fun in repeatedly beating up on weaker players, don't you want an actual challenge that matches your skill level? Can't you just like, play bots on easy mode over and over at that point?

They enjoy the experience of stomping becaus they view it as their right to stomp after “gitting gud”.

It’s just people tying up too much self worth in their skill at a game in my personal opinion.

The call of duty spaces online are full of them.

You can get invested in getting good at a game or sport, just don't get good at basketball and then get mad when they make you play other adults and won't let you play on a middle school basketball team lmao.

It’s wild. Activision doesn’t help matters by obfuscating how it works, not just using raw Elo, and patenting conspiracy fuel (no evidence it exists let alone is used).

It’s mostly just gamers not wanting to admit they aren’t as good as they thought they were.

Conservative difficulty is Easy Mode. It doesn't get more difficult.

Conservative difficulty mode is when you play on easy mode and claim that everyone else has it better than you because of DEI.

data-laughing

DEI can suck though if it sides with Management in opposition to a good union.

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes. I see DEI as peak social liberalism. It's little more than than a way to boast of your attempts to make surface-level improvements while ignoring the root cause of the obstacles marginalized people face. It's not however a cultural Marxist plot to subvert "meritocracy" and hold back cishet white men.
