I have noticed that a lot of people bringing up "male loneliness" are for one not even understanding what the problem is and they also don't want to see how it's a result of our modern society. First off males do have the ability to make male friends but most males want to have a female to...

Responding to the bakaBT wiki So i did the mistake of joining them due to being annoyed by the H&R rules on animebytes. Turns out BakaBT has basically no remuxes which is very stupid. They are also very lacking in content in general to the point where they are worse than nyaa in that regard...

The only gamecube games i liked was metroid prime 1 and 2 but i still didn't play the gamecube versions due to them having awful controls. I did play the trilogy version via motion control (real wiimote) but primehack is also an option. There is also the remaster of prime1 on switch. I have...

They are going in the sony direction it seems. Hardware wise it looks ok but in terms of game it will not offer much if anything of value. Even metroid prime 4 looks lame and underwhelming compared to the prime trilogy. Metroid prime 2 as comparison...

Debunking the "Feminism helps men too" rhetoric Professor Suzanne Steinmetz tried to spread awareness about male victims of abuse. She received the brunt of the attacks - feminists wrote and called her university urging that she be denied tenure; calls were made and letters were written to...

Stack depth and the number of betting rounds Having more betting rounds or deeper stacks does make the game significantly more complex to solve. Unfortunately for texas holdem that game doesn't work too well preflop if it's too deep and this depend on the number of players where more players...

Tweaking blinds/ante The way blinds are set up in texas holdem make the game prone to having just 2 players after the fllop (if it even reaches the flop) since limping is generally bad outside of the small blind. What if we instead had the player at the BB position have the standard blind and...

Increasing the number of community cards does make it harder to solve If we take texas holdem and increase the number of hole cards to 3 and reduce the flop to 2 cards the game becomes around 14 times harder to solve. While this may seem like a significant improvement it really doesn't help much...

While texas holdem is a very good card game and is still relevant it is definitely showing its age now with it being easy to use real-time assistance to cheat against other players. The game is also overly analyzed with does take a bit of fun out of it. It's less interesting when you can...

RTT goes down in flames It was never a good tracker of course but some people there were still in denial about it. For some reason all they did was to share rar files which is a pretty bad approach to be honest but i guess some people are going to defend that somehow. Their mod has been active...

If you use an incorrect premise then anything you conclude using that premise will not be on solid ground. It is however possible to arrive at the right decision using fallacious reasoning (it actually happens a lot more often than you think). A case can even be made for not having healthcare...

That's not really the problem with utilitarianism. The problem with utilitarianism is that it goes against natural human desires since people generally do not want to simply maximize the overall well-being (whatever that is) for the entire planet. People naturally care more for themselves and...

Video poker can still be beaten but it's getting less and less viable As players have figured out ways to take advantage of it casinos have taken away the better machines. You are probably not even going to be able to make minimum wage from playing that, doesn't seem to be worth putting effort into.
