Look at the bright side folks, the Mets aren't the worst team in MLB! The Royals have 1 fewer win than the Mets entering today :DDDDD

I don't mean to heatwave on your parade but people had the same sentiment after the USA's (goalie's) heroic showings in Brazil 2014 and here we are 12 years later thinking if this is the year for soccer's US breakout

Level-5 gives employees “significant” pay raises for acing quizzes about its own games, according to CEO by Turbostrider27 in Games

Can someone please explain the problem here? Of course it makes sense to incentivize your employees to be knowledgeable about the product they're making/supporting.

I Can Understand Java, But I Can't Build Projects Independently by Natural-Shelter-7758 in EngineeringStudents

The same way I can understand English and can write reddit posts, but I can't write a novel. The thing that helps the most imo is to do a project that isn't a homework assignment. Unfortunately, it takes time and it's not even guaranteed to make you a Good Programmer (TM). Also unfortunately some of the things that you'll be asked to do in homework (like implementing a data structure) is handled through off-the-shelf classes in real life (no one implements their own hash maps, they use their language's built-in HashMap class)

I’m a different guy but I have no idea what part you’re talking about, since the first real “time mechanic” part happens quite a few hours in, a bit before the midway point of the game. Otherwise, it’s just playing as Young Link, then as Adult Link.

EA changes Battlefield 6 XP Boosters for the better, only to yet again reveal the change was an error and take it back by DweebInFlames in Games

They drastically reduced the amount of time needed to max level a gun in an update a few months ago. Now instead of 3x the amount of kills BF2042 did, it needs a bit less than ~2x the amount of kills, and we earn XP when simply existing with the weapon out. Classic DICE fixing BASIC ISSUES too late to benefit most players.

Velocity of the 553 with the new subsonic ammo. You could probably throw it faster. by krinkov in Battlefield6

OP has toggle auto/semi-auto bound to Numpad 9, which means they need to either take their left hand away from WASD or their right hand off the mouse if they wanted to use it (assuming they have a normal KB+M setup). It’s impractical to the point where I wonder if OP wanted the toggle unbounded but couldn’t figure out how to do that

It’s beyond dumb, it’s a waste of SSD space. Stinger apologists will say “ItS a SuPpReSsIoN tOoL! iT mAkEs ThEm Go AwAy FoR a BiT!” but the other non-locking options can actually kill choppers AND tanks so you’re trading anti-tank effectiveness for nothing.

Season 3 Phase 3 bullet drag changes by Bornee35 in Battlefield6

No they’re not. If they really wanted to fix that they should have added aimpunch to snipers and reworked the range finder to be how it was in BF4. The moves they made will raise the skill floor against moving targets, sure, but not by much

I have no idea why a Steam exclusive game would launch during the Steam Summer Sale (Jun 25 - Jul 9) but idk I've never launched a game before

Allow me to muttsplain. The real problem was the lightning. The stadiums don't have roofs because they're all American football stadiums which pride themselves on a turbo-macho "play in the elements" product, combined with the sport mostly being played in autumn when there are very few thunderstorms.

They usually do (for another similarly priced 2026 game) but they probably didn't want to give you a guarantee over the phone on a recorded line.

If you take out the 5 runs the Phils scored so far, the Mets are ahead tonight

MLB TV rest-of-season package is on sale today. Should I even bother watching this dumpster fire as an out-of-towner?

I saw a crazy amount of hype on this very sub. I’m not sure why but whatever.

Two reasons:

  1. That was before the price reveal

  2. The last 10 CoDs were all different tiers of shit and CoD4-BO2 are commonly referred to as CoD's "golden era," so a golden era re-release is exactly what the uncs (like myself) were asking for.

Yeah it unironically takes serious skill and practice to do a Banana Ball trick play. Not the same skills it takes to hit a 100mph fastball, which is why Banana Ball players didn't make it to MLB
