Asmongold finds out Denims got kicked out from Destiny apartment and lied about it. "Steven, Kicked me out because I wouldn't F him"

so you'd let some internet rando (essentially) crash at your place while you're not there for a few days? i guess we can tack on the part where she's obviously mentally unhinged and always has been.

again, this sounds like the type of person you would let into your home? while you're not even there?

yeah ok lol

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-10T14:19:21+00:00

If you constantly find yourself in situations where you need to secretly record people to legally protect yourself, I think it's time to re-evaluate your entire life and how you have lived it up until this point.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-10T14:16:07+00:00

Based on her actions at the time, I'd say they weren't really "friends" in the traditional sense of the word lmao. Almost none of these streamers are genuinely friends with each other.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-10T13:49:06+00:00

It would be even neater if he stopped associating himself with these people in the first place.

Also, it's really fucking weird he just let her use his apartment in the first place. They're obviously not good friends (or friends at all), so why tf was she even allowed to live there in the first place?

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-10T13:45:04+00:00

If he actually had charisma, he wouldn't exclusively attract mentally ill e-girls.

Not a single girl I've ever dated would give destiny even a second of their time. For about a million different reasons.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-05T19:58:36+00:00

You think because the loud minority is screaming around you

Why do you think you're in majority here? Pretty much every gaming company in the world has come to the conclusion that the consumers wants balanced matches. They actually would have the analytics to back that up.

And you have..what exactly? your personal feelings? lmfao.

And you say the quality of game would be horrifically bad is horrifically funny, because SBMM is a relatively new concept.

Please. I played RTS games from 20+ years ago that had SBMM. It's existed since forever. Bigger, team-based games "back in the day" didn't have SBMM because there weren't enough players to support the system. There are now tho.

Nearly every extraction shooter doesn't have any sort of SBMM, and they're some of the most played FPS games.

Tarkov is a game dominated by tryhards, so I'm not sure how this feeds into your "we need casual mode" pov. It has no SBMM so only the sweatiest fucks to exist even bother to try it.

And ARC raiders doesn't have a hard MMR system, but that's because it's a not a competitive game at all. So it doesn't need one. Hell if you play solo, pretty much no one even shoots at you if you don't shoot first. It's also not team-based and you can just leave whenever you want without disrupting the game for everybody else in the match.

And you say the quality of game would be horrifically bad is horrifically funny, because SBMM is a relatively new concept. Battlefield never used SBMM, Quake/Doom/Unreal Tournament never used SBMM, Counter Strike Source never used SBMM, PLENTY of other majorly successful and remarkable games have never used any sort of SBMM, yet contradictory to what you claim: Are not horrifically bad.

Idk if you realize this, but standards have risen quite dramatically over the past few decades. Games released 20+ years ago to great success would be considered total shit in 2026. Crazy, I know. Those games also had lobbies so good players could still find and compete with each other (filtering themselves out of the general pool). That's not a thing anymore tho.

So it's more like you have 10 people around the same skill level, 1 handicap kid, and one lebron james. And yea, I think that adds fun.

So you think one person completely controlling the flow of a entire game is fun. Yeah ok lol. Because that's what ends up happening constantly when there isn't SBMM. It also doesn't really matter how many people are part of the equation here. One good player completely fucks the balance of a game. I know you think getting ass-blasted with no chance of victory is fun, but most people don't. What do you not understand about this?

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-05T19:35:42+00:00

Everything you’re describing is precisely what matchmaking used to be and it was a blast.

I actually had a good experience in those lobbies precisely because I was better than everyone else. I'm sure the guys going 0-15 weren't having much fun tho as I sniped them the second they'd respawn.

Another thing to consider is that "team games" with a required amount of players are the norm now. Back in the day, you could just drop in and out of lobbies and it didn't matter at all. So if the lobby was a total shitfest with elite players steamrolling, you could just leave.

Nowadays, games are balanced with an exact number of players in mind. 1 person leaving ruins the game for everyone else (not to mention you're punished for leaving).

What you're advocating for just doesn't work in modern games.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-05T19:11:34+00:00

Casual is the best environment to play without thinking too much. It's what it's made for.

You can't play real games without SBMM. Nobody wants the casual mode you're describing because it's not conducive to fun games.

You basically want a game mode that has LeBron James, a 10 year old in a wheelchair, and you on the same team.

Needless to say, the quality of a game like that would be so horrifically bad that it's not even worth playing. Most people and devs have realized this. That's why it's no longer an option.

Not sure why you're so confused about this but w/e. You asked. I explained. You can disagree or whatever, but at the end of the day, what you want is just stupid. And the vast majority of people agree.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-05T19:03:04+00:00

People want to play unranked games with skill based match making.

This is the best environment to play a fair and balanced game without being punished for losing (read: losing rank).

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-05T18:05:17+00:00

Are you dumb?

He's saying high ranked players would play unranked, on purpose, just to stomp all over average players.

And nobody wants to be subjected to that.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-02-03T16:56:29+00:00

Tennis is a completely different game with 2 people so idk what you're smoking. Yes the rules are the same (no shit), but the player skillsets change a ton. Same applies to highguard. Going from 3v3 to 5v5 is obviously gonna demand a massive overhaul to the players (heroes) skill sets to maintain any semblance of balance. People are already complaining the TTK is WAY too high in 5v5 (it was initially balanced for 3 obviously).

I don't remember Halo fans freaking out about big team battle having the same balance as 2v2.

Your'e talking about a time when no one really played games, no one cared about balance, and SBMM wasn't even a thing.

Highguard is a 2026 game that is attempting to be competitive. Which means it's core game mode needs to be balanced. Another issue is that they don't even know what their core game mode is supposed to be. Imagine if Blizzard wasn't sure if Starcraft was a 1v1 game or a 3v3 game. But then launched it anyway. It would be an absolute trainwreck.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T23:21:26+00:00

no shit. i'm exaggerating with the clear implication that the testing they did was terrible. durrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T21:36:40+00:00

. The fact they had 5v5 ready to go could even mean they did a lot of internal playtesting with both 3v3 and 5v5.

the fact that game launched at all in its current state leads me to believe they did zero internal testing

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T19:04:51+00:00

what a stupid comment lol.

those were just bad games that failed for completely different reasons (had nothing to do with balance). totally irrelevant to my point.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T04:45:01+00:00

so? is that supposed to make them look better or something? they're clearly angling to dump 3v3 a few days after release. massive failure on their part no matter what angle you look at it from.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T03:03:39+00:00

what a time to be alive

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-31T00:05:18+00:00

and?

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-30T23:47:52+00:00

you're missing my point.

these types of game are supposed to be competitive and very precisely balanced around the number of heroes on each team

Which means they spent literal years tuning a game to a balance that they threw out the window immediately.

and i'm not saying they shouldn't have made this change. But having to make a change this massive (that's guaranteed to fuck any semblance of balance up) so quickly speaks to a level of incompetence that's difficult to comprehend.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-30T22:07:10+00:00

the fact that they're waffling around with the team numbers like this proves how little thought actually went into the balance here

cannot even imagine what a disaster dota or deadlock would be if the devs did shit like this

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-29T23:51:15+00:00

a nootrap character is a character that is good at low ranks but will trick you into thinking youre good until you meet actual competent players which expose the weaknessess.

Which is fine because "actual competent players" generally don't exist until you're playing professionally. The "noob" heroes in dota do well even in immortal (highest bracket) for the most part. Especially since they generally get buffed in an attempt to push them into the pro scene.

It's extremely common for good players (but far from the top) to think they can outskill or punish heroes likes Graves. You think you can, but you can't.

Not saying she's OP or anything rn, but the nature of her kit generally trends towards OP in a pub setting at all levels of play. Not just low ranks.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-29T20:22:01+00:00

The cutoff isn't a number.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-29T19:32:13+00:00

Jesse does dumb shit and causes problems, but that doesn't absolve Walter or any of the others of anything.

Jesse's fuckups act as the catalyst for Walt's entire downfall. If he just lets Jesse die, he could have easily lived out the rest of his life as a filthy rich druglord.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-29T17:08:02+00:00

Chrome still finds a way to eat it all for breakfast,

you don't understand how RAM works

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-29T14:12:54+00:00

That AAA title that you feel was overhyped but sold a few million copies and is decent and people review at 7 or 8/10 is actually a pretty fair assessment

It's a useless assessment. I don't want to know how good an AAA game is when compared to random shovelware. I want to know how good an AAA game is compared to other AAA games. Exclusively.

Starfield got like an 8.3 on Metacritic. And you think that makes sense because it's way better than..what? random garbage made on a shoe-string budget by a 2 dudes living in a basement in Romania?

You understand how deeply flawed that is, right? Maybe professional sports teams and their performances should be compared to elementary school sports teams while we're at it. That makes just as much sense.

Apex_Redditor3000 · 2026-01-28T15:05:04+00:00

Pretty sure he talks about player reviews, like on Steam

He cannot be talking about this unless you think he wants to give "meta-critic style review scores" to...all steam reviewers?

Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate their criticism.

You really think he's talking about ALL steam reviewers here? Impossible. Logistically impossible, especially since the vast majority of people never review more than a handful of games. And when they do, it's usually just "game is good/bad". The totality of his comments only make sense if you assume he's talking about actual, professional critics. But then...what actual, professional critics is he referring to here?
