from where did people get used to call bedrooms "caves"?

It's a manner of speech that takes advantage of exaggeration for effect. Take for example: retard to describe stupidity or ignorance; gorilla, psycho, spook, insane to describe great skill at something; or Jew to describe avarice, greed, and/or wealth. Due to their use in this context, the word loses its literal, dictionary meaning and attains a more colloquial one. Determining which or what that definition is requires inquiry or inference from the observant party's end.

To explain and illustrate this point, take how Jazz has used the phrase "that cave of yours you call a room." Describing a mess through a manner of speech like this can take many forms, but the point of it is to say that the room is a mess. It can be called a horse stable, hole, dungeon, catastrophe, landfill, trash can, dump, gravitiationally-significant piece of shit, neutron star, black hole, Emiya Shirou, and/or a field with high levels of entropy, among many others. Jazz has picked "cave" here to illustrate and imply that Vinyl there is a primitive creature of sorts lacking certain key traits.

Basically it doesn't mean that cave has overpowered the more formal and still common form, bedroom. It's just there as an attack on the person.

Now if you're trying to be a smartass I'd highly recommend becoming smart first.

I wasn't trying to be smarty pants, i was just asking. THEY also tend to call my bedroom "cave". But as I always say, it's difficult to detect sarcasm on the Internet

people from the Philippines dont even try anymore, or maybe they just lack the capacities required to fire shots properly
twould explain why they have the lowest average PP per player of any country on the top 50 country rankings.

Don't make this a discussion about how to resort to red herrings properly and pp correlations to intelligence.

I'd say you ought to just go back to the main point. I'm still curious on what both sides have to say about it, and even if the discussion's going south it doesn't mean it can't turn back. At least, that's never the case in a reasonable discussion.

What??

I played warframe back then on my old pc and it works. (Medium settings on a intel i3)

I play it max on my gaming rig and for some reason nvidia can't handle firefighting ninja shit. It lags a bit when i fire a gun for a first time at a level but im used to it

I picked it up back in January '13, when the game was much smaller and had less going on Engine-wise. I'm using an Athlon X2 5600+, so it's a little dated :P

Around Update 11 or 12 (The Earth Forest release) performance took a nosedive for me, so I stopped playing. I did install it again for the Kubrow update, but I haven't actually launched it yet. Maybe I should try again.

too old actually, a lot of sites i've outgrown and stopped visiting after i reached a certain age, like the countless #chans, ebaums, newgrounds, etc... i feel like the internet is a bit like school and some sites serve the role of preschool k-6 6-12 etc and once you've seen enough of it and stop going you've graduated.

it was probably added after i stopped visiting, I'm fairly sure the boards on chans change all the time, i remember when the loli board was a thing on 4chan and they got rid of it :(
