Iβve read somewhere that the Amharas constituted the bulk of the Ethiopian population before the war with Adal and Oromo migrations occurred which got me thinking - what were the demographics of Ethiopia prior to the aforementioned events?
Southern lurker here. I might be wrong, but it seems posts on the NI subreddit tend to favour (heavily) one political side over the other. Any particular reason for this?
Not asking what your affiliation is, just why one side seems less well represented.
the victim blaming is astounding
In my opinion, Stadia was never intended to compete for the hardcore market share. It was never going to convert gamers who have the latest console or a good gaming PC and already own the latest games. Instead, it's trying to capture a corner of the market that no one else is courting: former gamers (or people interested in a premium gaming experience) that no longer have the time, money, or inclination to keep buying the latest console or continuing to upgrade their gaming PC.
I fall into that category. At one point, when I was single, I wouldn't hesitate to drop $1500 a year to upgrade my PC. I would regularly buy 3-4 games a month, and I could game 20 hours a week or more. Fast forward to today, and I'm a father with a demanding career. I'll be lucky if I can squeeze in an hour of gaming a day. And yet I still love gaming, and I'm not casual enough to be satisfied with mobile games. So when I saw what Stadia was offering, I jumped at the chance to try it.
So far, my experience with it has been excellent. The technology works great, there is no perceptible latency or lag, and being able to game while laying in bed next to my wife, or sitting on the toilet, is awesome. The cost per month is less than what I pay for Netflix, and for that I get 2 free games a month, playing at 1080p/60fps or greater, with console quality graphics or better, that I can play on basically all the devices that I already own. And I essentially won't ever have to buy a new console or computer ever again. To me that's a pretty great deal, and one that only improves in value over time. I'm very happy with what I get for the price that I pay. I understand that there are people out there who desire more than that, or who may have already spent money on hardware and games that offer a similar or better experience than Stadia offers, but for people like me (and at least 3 of my friends, all of whom have ordered the Premiere Edition), this is an incredible product that fulfills a need in a way that no other platform can.
I think once the platform matures and word of mouth spreads, Google is going to surprise a lot of people by just how many "casuals" like me it can pull out of the woodwork. It's not going to win over hardcore gamers, but it doesn't have to to be a success.
Weβve had few polls on demographics but itβs interesting to see the age breakdown of the redditors. Speaks of the generational issues they are facing.
Hello, UI/UX Design student here, we're currently creating a roguelite game! To better understand the audience for these games in terms of age and gender I'd like to gather some data from Reddit and other similar forums where people talk about the roguelite genre or popular titles in the genre. Thank you in advance for filling it in! :)
I am an avid follower of sports and I searched for NFL news today. The only headline I see across every news source is about the first black female referee being hired in the NFL. There have been black referees and there have been female referees. But they make a huge deal out of the first black female referee. As a society how are we supposed to move past prejudices if the media constantly talks about these things? I am all for diversity and I think it makes us stronger. But this should not be news. Race is a social construct and our DNA as humans does not differ depending on what part of the planet our ancestors are from. We need to stop constantly talking about different demographics in this way or the rift between people who are different will never go away.
TL;DR - When we stop talking about race it will cease to exist
UPDATE: Survey results are out! You can read them here: https://imgur.com/a/X6iR4WE
Hi! I like to create surveys in my spare time and turn them into cool info graphics such as the Fire Emblem survey I did a while ago.
This time I wanted to approach the League player base and ask them a lot of questions to get to know the demographics. Questions pertaining to how long you've played league, which is your favourite role, how easily do you tilt, do you play ranked etc.
The results will be posted maybe a month later, it depends on how long it takes for me to create the info graphic. I'm aiming to group the results so that I can create a profile for each role and how they usually act etc.
The survey will take around 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you so much!
A finite quantity. One to complete the specific task and the remainder to act in a manner stereotypical of persons from said demographic.
Where unironically
On a posted titled: "How come white people can survive in concentration camps?"
>Because white people know how to build civilization. Because of that, when we need it, we build it instead of finding a host race to parasitize for gibs because we don't know how to build civilization. Not that any demographic is prone to gibs mongering or anything.

>Nazi propaganda minister Joesph Goebbels and the editor of the NSDAP agitprop Der Sturmer Julius Streicher, among others, went to jail for hate speech. They used their prison sentences as a recruitment tool by citing it as evidence of the Jewish conspiracy. I'm sure it will work this time though, not true human rights laws or something.
Nazis=victims:
> I laugh when people say we need hate speech laws to stop the next hitler, because they worked so well the first time!
Same post argues the Nazis were progressives:
>You don't agree with any of Bernie's policies like hating the free market and greedy CEOs, socialized healthcare, UBI, raising the minimum wage, stronger unions and workers' rights, stopping corporations from ruining the enviornment, or would consider seizing the means of production? Those are all positions held by people like Richard Spencer and the Facebook shooter, so you are terrible at this fascist thing.
You can PM me on here any time. If you donβt have anyone to help you with things and youβre scared because of the virus, I will help you as much as I can with groceries, prescriptions pick up, anything really for you that I am capable of doing.
Edit: Turns out the NHL had no foresight of really keeping any film footage and my writing skills are below average
Abstract.
The NHL has all games stored on film which is of the highest quality but presents clear bandwidth problems as the files would be huge if released as raw data, but what is stopping them from releasing 720-1080p versions of games? The lack of clear footage is preventing younger demographics from being invested in the NHL.
Effect on Younger Demographic.
Content creators are so important for growing the games for a younger audience, take for example ovi's incredible 65 goal season, someone went out of their way to make this amazing video but the footage is of such horrid quality that young viewers today will not even bother to watch. This didn't even happen that long ago it's Ovi like what?
Disrespect to the Legends.
Some of us were not fortunate enough to witness The Great One, Lemieux, Bobby Orr, the list goes on...
I want to see Highlights of the Legends, what is Available for me?

- [Mario Lemieux] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QET4IBYtj3Q)
- [Bobby Orr] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTk4fO1yDLg)
oh.
Conclusion.
I'm not here to waste everyone's time and write a billion words, I probably could have gone more in depth but the point is made and I don't feel like going full try hard, the point is the NHL has nothing to lose with doing this and I don't understand why it has not been done yet.
Edit: Made the formatting look nicer.
Seems to me that the average person here is about 18-30, middle class, liberal. Do you think that the lower class or older people are represented enough in this sub? Would you say the opinions here differ a lot from the average person in your country. Just the fact that everyone here speaks English sort of reinforces that speculation
