This is the reason I stopped playing pubg and I couldn’t get my head round it either. In theory people may enjoy it more because it’s easier to win, and who doesn’t like winning? Yes it’s not a real win against bots but the bots are a secret so maybe it feels like a real win?

But it’s obvious that you’re against bots. If people enjoy playing against bots why not just include a bot mode?

I see a few possible reasons

1. Most people are ignorant to the bots. They play a few games, they win, they’re happy. They don’t realise they only had 4 humans in their lobby.

2. People eventually realise they’re against bots but the devs are stupid. They did some focus groups and detected people being happy. These people would have eventually realised they’re against bots and hated it but the focus groups didn’t detect that. Like a pepsi challenge.

3. Blissful ignorance? People kind of know they’re against bots but turn a blind eye and wins still feel good. They wouldn’t play a specific 100% bot mode because they want a “real win”

OP needs to make like a tree and get out of there

Don’t try to tell us that fruit is any better

Right, I’ve been waiting for somebody to say this. You come in here with your smarmy attitude “you can just hold it down you know 😏”. How many computers have you tried this on? I’ve tried it on one. Once. And it didn’t work. I looked like a FOOL because I trusted some idiot on the internet. So fuck you I’m not doing it again. I’m going to repeatedly smash F2 and Del and maybe F12. Like God intended.

Hey baby, I’m self aware. I got that headspace app, because I care

I remember playing Assault on the Control Room on Halo 1 and one of the doors glitched and didn’t unlock. I must have walked around those hallways for hours trying to work out where I was supposed to go

I’m the htopopotamus, my processes are bottomless

You fool you just typed it and spoiled your experiment

I’m part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody’s phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I’ve never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren’t even listed anymore. There’s nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

People see the headline and assume it’s Facebook et al.

I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It’s just one more thing to worry about. “Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don’t know, it doesn’t say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it’s not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it”. And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

These statements make it all the more maddening. How can you say it’s not a triumph for one side while they literally toast champagne on your doorstep. Fucking old cunts, you know you’ll all be dead soon and we’ll just change the law anyway.

Ah, watergategate

But that’s what you’re doing too. Making the meme the correct way round.

They really do their best to avoid words like debt and loan. Those are serious words, this is just a bit of fun! Buy now pay later! 3 easy installments!

My dream is to have two dishwashers so I don’t need to unload. Just pull dishes out of the clean one when needed and put back into the dirty one

I was behind somebody in the queue at Screwfix who was asking for advice after their landlord had glossed the inside of their BATH. What a lunatic.

I’m actually happy to see Truss lining up with Farage. I know some people like big Nige but I haven’t met a single person who has a positive thing to say about Liz Truss. Hopefully she drags him down with her

I remember a lot of effort being put into teaching us to stop, drop and roll if we were ever on fire. Kinda thought that knowledge would have been put to the test by now, but I haven’t even been on fire once!

People over here are starting to get the perfect bright white teeth that America popularised now. I hate it, looks so fake. We derisively call it “Turkey teeth” because they often fly to Turkey to get it done on the cheap.
