Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.

You’d think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go “what? How?..”

Like I said elsewhere, I’ve actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren’t being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

Oh the memories.

That said, before multiplayer was centralised, you checked the server pingtime before joining the server.

Scrolling through servers on CS:Source trying to find one that wasn’t pinging harder than my anxiety… Those were the days.

There’s still a way to do it but it’s convoluted compared to if they’d just add a damn resource monitor into the game itself.

If you still care about figuring out your ping: this comment on reddit from a year ago tells you how to find your games server IP, from there you can just fire up command prompt and hit with ping -n 100 <IP/Adress> This should return your ping and packet loss with the server.

Blind definitely helped me understand DF a lot better.

Unchecked drug use will do that to ya. Dude was geeked out of his skull at the inauguration.
