Maper uses 1/16 and 1/12 doubles within the map to emulate 2B and impactful double tap feels, respectfully. Modders claim it doesn't follow music, that 2B has no place in a ranked map, and that players don't play those notes the way the mapper thinks they are played

you are like the principle embodiment of ineffectual edginess, attempting to "fight" an abstract concept with almost no tangible influence on anything meaningful is like trying to wank with a stiff breeze

more like a stiffy breeze

I don't really wanna post legit in OT, but I just wanna say that I don't think anything is abstract, everything can be backed up by evidence, just like feelings is backed up by chemistry

I have definite principles and opinions. Yet what is the worth of them in an environment where leverage is only gained though sucking the dick of the various higher-ups, who think that this game is their own little kingdom where they delight in inflicting their arbitrary will upon other people. It's a bit hard to 'fight' anything in this location, where my only means of communication can be deleted and revoked if it goes against the agenda of these established people. But before you call me ineffectual, maybe you should ask yourself where half the old population of this subforum has gone. Where there's a will there's a way, don't think that some casual commentary by me is a serious attempt to 'fight' anything.

What is the value of truth, harmony, and morality? That is the goal of my values. You know, the usual stuff. Now, what principles do you hold?

Oh boy, what have you done abraker,
You caused a bird fight, both of them sizzling hot, guess they're grills
Ephemeral is in fact, a chick
Ephemeral
i don't have principles because i'm staff obviously haven't you heard?
B1rd
You don't have to tell me. Don't feel too bad, you're not an exception. It seems that most people don't have much integrity or any guiding principles when it comes to being mod or similar positions. The only person I trust is myself.
