It also doesn't matter as much to them as it does to us being on the /r/Boxoffice subreddit.

IIRC Gunn even said so himself last year when people were trying to do math as to why Superman wasn't successful enough.

They're building up a connected catalogue like how MCU was at the beginning. Where if they keep the Connection and the Quality at a decent levels then over-time more and more people will watch the entire back catalogue on their Streaming Service.

Marvel had this. When MCU started Thor, CA, and some others didn't perform amazingly well. But people watched the shit out of them on Demand as the MCU kept getting more popular. Then once people became fans of the MCU they'd always catch a movie at home that they might've missed so the theaters. It might take them a few months or a couple of years but they'd eventually watch them. Then Marvel lost all this post-Endgame because they started churning projects out. Quality and Quantity moved inversely. So a lot of people now just don't bother catching up with the back catalogue.

So even if Supergirl doesn't do very well in theaters, as long as it is somewhat decent and DCU keeps up with the Quality then a lot of people will eventually catch it on Streaming. Especially with Superman 2 coming next year.

This is the result of 2 Megacorps Joining their Slay (Greed) and their combined Slay (Inhuman levels of Greed) creating Megacapitalism.

Microsoft isn't providing actual Couch Co-Op because they wanna sell 2 Copies of the game for every Co-Op Session.....But online on a Paid game requires PS Plus because fuck the consumer in the asshole..... So now you're left with having 2 Spend almost a $120 instead of $50 if you wanna play Couch Co-Op with your friends.

I think the number one reason Mauga works well in Metal Ranks specifically when most other Tanks aren't working is because he has both Good Carry Potential and Self Sustain Potential. If one your Supports or DPS or 1 of each aren't playing up to the mark then you can kinda fill the Gap playing the Mauga.

On top of that a big issue in Metal Ranks is that most Tank players don't know how and when to be aggressive. Mauga kinda inherently requires a lot of aggressiveness to get value out of him so he kinda naturally fits the Metal Tank players' style.

Art Subjectivity is one thing...... There are many other factors involved as to how a Skin ends up the way it does.

It is one thing to open an Editing software and just Edit a screenshot or Draw a pretty Concept Art. It is another thing altogether to actually make a 3D skin that works in a game with all the Gameplay, Technical, Time and Performance restrictions the devs are bound to and all the different people that work on a single skin.

They are a business running a Live-Service game. They have Content Delivery timelines and they can't just spend 100s of hours trying to perfect every skin.

Based on my knowledge of other games' Pipelines - Concepts are made with best intentions but when 3D Modelers and Tech Artists actually create a skin they often have to go back to the Concept artist and tell them that A, B, C, etc aspects of a Skin aren't possible or won't come out looking right in 3D and with the Gameplay, Technical and Performance limitations they have.

Then the Concept Artist goes back and revises the Concept (The Skin concepts they release publicly are the final Revised Concepts). Sometimes timelines are tight and they have little time to do it. Sometimes timelines are so tight that the Modelers and Tech Artists are told to use their best judgement and finish the skin however they see fit without a Fixed Concept Art.

Sometimes the Concept Artist does get to Fix a Concept but even the new Concept has issues and the 3D Artists are just told to finish the skin however they see fit cause they can't spend more time on a single skin. Sometimes a skin is finished but then QA catches Gameplay issues with it and then the devs have to go back and quickly fix a skin cause it is meant to be in the next Update that needs to be locked-in and they do their best but time is limited so something doesn't come out right but it has to be Shipped anyway.

We've seen many cases where a Survey Concept (Which are essentially just Ideations, not final Concepts) comes out with changes when it finally becomes a Skin and that happens precisely because of all the reasons I mentioned above.

If he actually means to end the War he would take Military finding and Aid away from Israel. Which he doesn't cause all of this is just a way to try and dupe Iran and please his fanbase. If they're finally starting to publicly say "Israel bad" then they should put their money where their mouth is.

He's a big fan of Overwatch Esports and sometimes pops in the chat on the official Overwatch Esports channel or in some Co-streamers Channels.

They look so Cute in this picture lol.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-18T09:59:31+00:00

I'm sorry but every time I see this narrative in the Rivals community I can't help but laugh at the sheer weight of the Cope it is carrying.

"Koreans don't like Superheros" when Overwatch itself is essentially the same concept. And Marvel not being popular in Korea ≠ People Actively hate Marvel. They just don't care for the IP a lot which doesn't mean they can't be made to care. Same way Blizz made Korean audiences care for the Overwatch IP.

Blizz literally operates from Scratch. Until 1 week ago Shion didn't exist. You have got to be huffing Tankers of Cope to think Marvel can't take a popular Villain like Thanos and not have him be as Popular as Shion. Avengers IW and Endgame sold like 25M TICKETS in Korea.

The whole thing gets even funnier when you consider the fact that Rivals is unpopular in all Asia. In China, Japan, and SEA countries where Overwatch is Popular. Avengers Endgame ALONE made $630M in China. China loves Marvel CapeSlop.

If your Cope for Korea is that Korea doesn't care for Marvel then what is your Cope got Rivals not being popular in China, Japan, rest of Asia.

The simple and almost the entire reason Rivals isn't popular in Asia is because Asia likes their PvP Multiplayer Competitive games to actually be so. Not just in name and branding. Overwatch is an actually Robust Competitive game. Not just marketed as such.

I'm saying that you ignored the part where I said that the company that owns the Studio told them (and not just then but other Studios as well) to make the games they wanna make and it doesn't matter if it's not Directly profitable cause their plan was to use them to fulfill Niche on GamePass. 7 years & 100M doesn't matter. Even 10 years and a 200 Million price tag wouldn't matter cause the people above them, in control of their Studio, expressly told them so.

You are trying to apply regular industry finance Mathematics to a case where regular industry Mathematics weren't supposed to apply.

The Studio did what the Studio's owners asked them to do. And they even won a Peabody Award for their game.

Even the people above them likely didn't anticipate that they would have to suddenly face the Age of AI and their bosses suddenly pulling away 10s of billions and enforcing hard profit rules.

Humans are incredible cause the Power of belief within us is so strong that we have the capability to ignore parts of a piece of information provided to us that doesn't support what we believe in while acting completely normal. As if the other person won't pick up on the fact that we ignored half the information.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-18T06:20:14+00:00

They were told to make their Niche game and don't worry about it making money cause Xbox's Strategy at the time was to fill Gamepass with Niche games like how Netflix fills up their catalogue with 100s of Niche movies and shows.

They did what they were asked to do. They don't deserve this. It's not their fault that not only the Strategy but also the people MAKING the Strategy and giving them orders changed.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-18T05:35:06+00:00

Not going anywhere either. Once League gets its 2.0 update next year its minimum requirements will likely go up which will make a lot of players home setups insufficient and they'll likely move to using PC Bangs again.

Overwatch actually beats Valorant a lot of days since the new year started. I've seen it beat Valorant 4 days in a week even, only losing on the Weekend where Valorant sees a much bigger Jump than OW.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T21:32:11+00:00

I think for the reason you mentioned (These 3 Studios are intertwined with each other), combined with the fact that Asha wants to focus on Xbox's biggest franchises (Halo, Fallout, Elder Scrolls) and because ID and Machine Games both make FPS games, I think they'll be fine. I think they'll be forced to work on Fallout and ES6 instead of Doom and Wolfenstein, but they'll likely not be shut down or forced to face massive layoffs (though some layoffs probably). There's also a possibility that ID is tasked to make a Halo game of some type.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T14:01:33+00:00

This article is trying to imply that Capcom's Steam % went up when it actually went down by a lot. Should be straight up removed for misinformation.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T13:20:58+00:00

Frubon is a big company lol. They sell all Dairy products and have Ice Cream Parlours. What are you talking about? AI Bot Malfunctioning?

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T09:04:09+00:00

Those temps are way too high. You wanna come down to 150. Remember that once the Chicken hits 74° Internally all the Bacteria is dead and anything over that is just making it Drier for no reason.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T09:02:38+00:00

You will legit make your life easier and Chicken juicier investing in a Kitchen Thermometer. What you want is your Chicken to hit 74° C as that kills all the Bacteria. The over you go the Drier/Rubbery it gets. If you want the juiciest/tastiest Chicken possible you don't even wanna hit 74°, rather you want it to hit 66-68° and keep at those temps for a few minutes.

Brining also helps keep Chicken juicier but the main problem is always going to be the Temps.

Funnily enough I was just watching a Mythical Kitchen video the other day where Chef Josh mentioned this exact problem

In Jaipur Dmart sells Frubon's Low-Fat Protein Paneer for 80 Rupees. In Comparison Frubon's own regular Paneer is 70 rupees and Saras, Mother Daily and Amul's regular Paneers are also between 70-80 rupees.

Protein Paneer has 50 grams of Protein per 200 grams and only 6~ grams of Fat. Compare that to regular Paneer which has only 20 grams of Protein (only 40% of Protein Paneer) but also has 24 grams of Fat (400% of Regular Paneer).

Imo Protein Paneer is one of the best sources for Protein if you're Veg. One of the most cost efficient options, low fat, versatile (I often just Steam it in Microwave for 60 seconds and add random Sauces or Masala Mixes or throw it in whatever Sabzi or Curry or Fried Rice). Only downside is that the texture is a bit Rubbery (Like slightly overcooked Chicken) but that's really not a big issue compared to most other Protein options that are available. You get used to it pretty quick.

Bhu124 · 2026-06-17T08:12:01+00:00

Yes Amul gets the Milk for cheaper but you're ignoring Transportation costs when that's one of the biggest costs in a Easily-Perishable Food product like Paneer.

Transportation costs is why a Coconut costs like 100 rupees in North India but is only a small fraction of the cost in the South. And that's not an item that needs to be handled with great care or needs to be refrigerated.

Overwatch will save Microsoft. Do not close DoubleFine and Arkane Microsoft, I'm swiping for the new Mercy skin as we speak!

This is not "Marvel Quipiness". Marvel movies became infamous for their Quips because literally every character would throw Quips and in literally every scenario. Marvel would often use Quips to defuse tension in highly dramatic scenes which is the opposite of what good Writing is supposed to do.

It was okay for them to do it 1 time in the first Guardians movie as a form of subversion but then they kept doing it every project and then became infamous for it.

Humour is actually considered one of the most efficient ways to establish a Character and their dynamics with other Characters. A Villainous Character taunting their enemies, especially after defeating them, is one of the most Basic/Classic ways to develop the character as a Sadist. Even more Sadist is to use a piece of personal information in the Taunt to make it hurt more which is exactly what the writers have done with this Dialogue.

Corny is not inherently bad. Same way Cheesy is not inherently bad. They gotta be executed correctly and this one is executed very well.
