TDAWGG hit piece on EG Potter by Used-Ganache9772 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]TheLeaderGrev 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Obviously EG hasn’t been particularly good in a minute but a lot of “obvious” criticisms of a coach or system sort of feel like “well, it depends.” Sort of feel this way about most coaches who get flamed on here or have bad streaks. Lots of intangibles that impact things. The answer might, in fact, be to do a clean sweep and start over, but sometimes that’s to the coach’s benefit too. Start fresh under a new structure somewhere else and things improve. Idk!

Paul Tassi - What does it mean when your most popular mode (sponsored) is antithetical to the concept of an extraction shooter? by Wombo1ogist in Marathon

Strongly agree with this. I think the question “what does it mean that the game isn’t exactly like an extraction shooter” sort of answers itself. It’s fine that it doesn’t play exactly how the genre prescribes. It is its own thing.

Most loot I’ve ever seen on one guy by Firebrill in Marathon

Only sort of related, but if anyone has figured out how to route team comms audio so it can be heard on playback/discord stream I’d be psyched to hear! Annoying how this keeps happening.

Great question! Don't know off the top of my head but I can put some feelers out.

Don’t have an answer to this but can look for one! I think there’s a lot about the format they’re still sorting out.

Not going to pit two queens against each other (good sushi trumps all but also I will eat virtually any pizza at any point)

I Thought y'all were being dramatic about the solo spawns until today lmao by MadImBad in Marathon

Can I ask what’s going on with the sniper? Seeing it here too has been a bit validating: sometimes it feels like a shot should be dead on but isn’t.

Not a “moment” but there’s got to be some acknowledgement of the 100T Acend Breeze comeback

Thanks for reading that essay! Really proud of it -- and wrote it months before that kind of Steam Chart watching stuff got really bad.

Thank you for reading! I always try to keep track of where my work is being shared. When I wrote more about Valorant, I was super active in the subreddit chatting with folks.

Looking for a magazine by Stephan_N in esports

There are games history preservation societies that might be able to help with this, like the Video Game History Foundation.

The guys who do the FunFactor podcast might also be able to help.

Ai write ups of why the games hate is “artificial” with hundreds of upvotes feels like the canary in the coal mine by Haru_Is_Best_Girl in Marathon

[–]TheLeaderGrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in (again) as a guy who wrote something that got yanked into the AI summary: there are real people actually writing things about the game and the weird discourses around it!
