“You throw the controller,” one tweeter said to Riddles in all caps. “Do you know how much you make people suffer?
They “suffered” because someone else threw a controller?
“If you give him a pass now, 9 times outta 10, it’ll happen again. Just stop fam lmao. Everyone has those moments, we get it, but shrugging it off like this just shows why top player privilege is a thing.”
Have there people PLAYED a sport in their lives? 
Leon said. “Throwing your own controller to [release] frustration isn’t the best move, but it concerns only him and himself. As long as he respects his opponents (which was the case with me), there is nothing very disgusting [about what he did].
Now there is someone that is totally correct.

I thought you meant esports as separate from journalists.
To be fair, computers are mainly designed to solve math problems so we don’t have to, and allow us the freedom to do something more interesting.
An AI that can write NPC dialogue based on what you do and is happening in the world, or modify quests on the fly, or adapt to a player’s tactics would be amazing.
I assume you meant “computers are mainly designed to make computations”. Computing is not the most interesting part of math but you have to learn it if you want to go further, like you have to learn your ABC before studying poetry. Most students need short term motivation (exams) to learn repetitive tasks, if you only ask interesting questions then students won’t bother to learn the basics.

These plots are produced by Google Trends, which explains the meaning of these values as follows:
Interest over time
Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.
Basically, the plots are normalized to have a peak of 100, so everything is only a relative comparison over time and between topics.
