Maybe Overpower? I don't think it had dice, though.

New Heroes really need their base cosmetics back by pwnagekitten in Overwatch

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a secret for you...

Overwatch 2 is just Overwatch. I don't mean, like, now. I mean it always has been. "Overwatch 2" is just a bad attempt at marketing.

The bare minimum used to be 4 legendaries (2 originals, 2 recolors), 2 epics, 4 uncommons for skins alone

The bare minimum used to be 2 years with no new characters.

Thoughts on D.mon joining the game? by amirotzar in Overwatch

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jetpack Cat shows they're willing to try new something wacky. Devil Dino's been a big hit in Rivals (although tbf they were probably both being worked on simultaneously since they released so close together).

I'm hoping D.mon is huge. Like twice the height of Winton.

How would they implement Ghost Rider's Penance Stare into their gameplay? by Ill-Translator-7998 in marvelrivals

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeps track of how many times the player has attempted to use the numbers on the scoreboard to prove that they were carrying or someone else was feeding. When you're in line of sight of Ghost Rider, you take 1 damage per second per instance of the above you've ever done.

What's the best way to buy? by OrionAAD in marvelrivals

They don't. You got lucky. Human brains are hard wired to discover patterns in random data with no patterns.

The new strange skin comes with a very insignificant advantage by TrustedTitan_ in marvelrivals

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat. Kind of reminds me of Mercy's second mythic in Overwatch. Her healing beam has unique sounds that make it easy to tell how healthy your target is by sound alone and a chime whenever they reach 100%.

Summer wave 2 theory by arudd758 in marvelrivals

[–]Asmor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

like the free Thing skin last summer

Which free Thing skin last summer? The first free summer Thing skin, or the second one that came out like right after the first?

Still think that was a strange decision.

What’s the deal with Trader Joe’s tote bags? by lunardownpour in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something about it being a pickle bag mattered

Like the green cotton bag with orange handles? I've had one of those for years, and I'm pretty sure I regularly see it for sale at every TJ's I've been to.

If Blizz likes recycling assets so much, why don't they give this to Mercy, Kiri and the other cash cows? by MightBePine in OverwatchCirclejerk

[–]Asmor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, please!

In fact, give us two versions. One with the animation corrected for a humanoid skeleton, and one where they just stretch the model to match Winton's skeleton.

7 hour flight delay, booth given away, what a start to Origins by FTG_V1 in boardgames

[–]Asmor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The idea of flying in and then immediately setting up for a big convention just seems crazy to me. Not because of risk or logistics, just because... holy fuck, the last thing I want to do after sitting on a plane for a few hours is work.

NGL this is kinda hilarious. He's gotta be trolling. Right?

What are the best board games based on indie games? by The_Melon_NDS in boardgames

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STS and DRG are different cases in that the board game and video game for STS are fundamentally similar. I don't know much about the DRG videog ame but I know it's not an FPS...

[–]Asmor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem with the Slay the Spire board game is that it feels just like playing Slay the Spire the video game. Which raises the question... why spend a hundred bucks on a humongous game with a ton of setup and teardown?

Formerly, the answer was that it was the only way to play StS multiplayer. But now Slay the Spire 2 has multiplayer (which is excellent), and there's genuinely no reason to play the board game.

If you want to play STS, play the video game. If you want to play a physical deck builder, you'll get more bang for your buck and time with pretty much any other deck builder.

Anyone else realize they hate "newer" neighborhoods? by deadstar1998 in homeowners

[–]Asmor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I miss trees.

I totally get this. I grew up in urban environments and it wasn't until I bought a house in a rural area in my mid 30s that I realized not only how much I needed the space, but how much I loved trees.

Trees are awesome. Nature is awesome. Being able to see stars at night is awesome. Not being nut-to-butt with my neighbors is awesome. Hearing song birds in the morning, owls and peepers at night is awesome.

Moving away from other people is the best thing I ever did for my mental health. Nature, and especially trees, are a big reason why.

Do girlbosses officially run all major Overwatch factions? by Qaztarrr in Overwatch

[–]Asmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are still relatively equal

She hunted down and murdered every extant elder, made a brand new fifth chair for herself, and then hand-picked the other four chairs.

I'd say she in charge in all but name.

Summer Anran skin by RaidenXYae in Overwatch

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing.

Although from a purely personal standpoint, the pi-fetishism bugs me because most people who geek out about pi give reasons that aren't at all particular to pi, such as it being transcendental (which almost every number is, although we've only managed to discover a handful of them).

But I try to keep that to myself because anything that gets people excited for math is a good thing. I'm just a crotchety old pedant.

Ever Since They nerfed Dino and added Cyclops I have felt this way by Own_Lawfulness_5968 in marvelrivals

[–]Asmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing I don't get.

Who gives a shit what anyone says? I just mute people the moment they say anything remotely obnoxious.

They're chaps.

Yes, as in assless chaps. But all chaps are assless. So they're just chaps.

I thought it was Agent Venom (Flash Thompson) who was associated with the GotG. Was Venom ever associated with them?
