Good community names can’t be squatted here so that’s your cue to create your own, with blackjack, hookers and the highest moderation standards.

US domestic politics of no international significance isn’t world news.

It sounds like you take more of an issue with existence of aim assist rather how it is balanced in particular games. Crossplay is beneficial because it increases the player pool, game longevity and (to the best of my knowledge) is usually optional, no? One would assume that aim assist is tuned to provide a fair challenge to users with different input devices and that in an actual competitive setting that wouldn’t be of any relevance anyway.

I’m glad I don’t play games to earn respect of others, what a miserable way to have fun.

Truth isn’t different between serious and casual discussion and this is a serious topic.

If you want to cite a scientific paper then do it yourself and don’t ask others to fish them out of blogs you link to because too many times I’ve seen none included and nobody got time for that on a casual forum.

As to actual sources, I assumed I wouldn’t have to make as much of a strong point when talking about something that’s pretty much a scientific consensus. Where I live doctors won’t prescribe you medicinal weed if you’re under 25 usually too.

Going by casual wisdom, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence so I would expect the burden to be on the ones claiming that what I’m saying is bs but I guess it’s on me to bring back some reason here.

It’s FPGA and plays ROMs so I think it’s just more financially prudent to get a MisterFPGA - a much more versatile system that’s about as accurate. I’m rather confused about most of those single platform FPGA systems like new Commodore or Analogue 64 - do you really want to swap physical media? I’d understand getting this for aesthetics but at this price point? Hard sell for sure.

I’d rather add meta-comment in an effort to preserve quality of discussion. I’m seeing this everywhere - making a point by linking to a blog pretending to be a scientific paper. It has about as much value as a comment by anyone here. If I understand correctly it’s an attempt to add some kind of authority to your opinion but it’s just harmful to the way establishing truth works.

Please stop using blog posts pretending to be scientific research.

Where are you getting your numbers on % of population at risk of psychosis and schizophrenia to call them unknown small sliver? Cannabis being harmful to people under 25 is well studied. Most neurodivergent folk are at risk and both things compound enough so that having this kind of legal age just make sense.

I consume plenty of weed myself but I’m for responsible and controlled use. I’m glad to piss off liberals and conservatives alike since I’m a leftie.

Some of us are more prone to mental health issues. Cannabis is a strong trigger. It is possible to go through life without triggers. THC is not something you need in your life unless prescribed for specific conditions.

I’m all for full legalisation but legal age for most substances should be simply higher because it’s way too risky and damaging before your brain fully develops, as evidenced by the this paper.
