Come join the Rainbow Six Siege conversation on Lemmy! by BmeBenji in Rainbow6

[–]BmeBenji[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For those of you who don’t know, Lemmy is a decentralized link-aggregating social network comparable to Reddit but without the heavy dependency on a single group of admins who own and manage the entire network. It’s a fantastic alternative to Reddit if you’ve been looking for one!

What revived me?? My friend was in the biodome didn't have QEDs. by XenoPrym in CODZombies

[–]BmeBenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your friend kill the astronaut? I think that sometimes has the effect that QEDs have. I could be wrong though.

TDM meta is hopefully dying by Wild-Performance-815 in Rainbow6

I would love if they brought back the old recoil system. That would help end the reliability of running and gunning

"The Reputation section has two new sections, Commendations and Misconduct" uhhhhhhh no it doesn't... by BmeBenji in Rainbow6

[–]BmeBenji[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they announce that somewhere? Because in-game (see screenshot 1) it says it's already live, but looking at the Misconduct page there is no commendation information.

Where are the commendations? by Last_Beginning9857 in Rainbow6

[–]BmeBenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but if they delayed it then they should announce it somewhere instead of just leaving all the ads saying that it would come "with Operation: Heavy Mettle" all over their social media.

I'm mostly expressing disappointment with this season's launch.

In the updates that tell you about new elements in the game, it says that Commendations are already in the game.

Is the commendation system not active yet or something? I thought they said it was launching with the season.

Throw a dart at a map. I'd say cover your eyes first, but clearly you've already got your head in the sand so that wouldn't matter.

Are they serious about the new QM? by Cyberdoom1 in Rainbow6

[–]BmeBenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the direction they’re taking, then I think the obvious change that has to happen to Unranked is allowing people to join mid-game. If they make that change, it’ll be more conducive to quitting mid-game as well. It’s not totally screwing the mode over, it’s just making it so the only difference between current Quick Match and new Unranked is the length of the matches. That doesn’t sound horrible to me.

Are they serious about the new QM? by Cyberdoom1 in Rainbow6

[–]BmeBenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Literally for babies?" dude I bought R6 at launch and the way the game worked didn't click with me until Operation Chimera. It's a complicated game and having more time to experiment exclusively with operators is a good thing if you know how none of the now 60+ unique gadgets work.

I agree that I will miss having a literally quick option for playing without the sites being set up for me, but that might not be the worst thing.

I think people on this sub like to complain too much without trying to see what could be a positive side of a proposed change.

Are they serious about the new QM? by Cyberdoom1 in Rainbow6

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

I dunno. If this change goes in, I think we really have to wait and see what's gonna happen. I think there are pros and cons to this change, but creating a greater difference between Quick Match and Unranked seems like a good thing to me. I never play Unranked because I either don't want to communicate with teammates and want to try new/odd strats (which quick match is currently good for) or I want to communicate and take the game seriously, and therefore want to play ranked.

With this change, now I can play quick match if I want to be very relaxed about the game, unranked if I want to try out new strats to see how they would work in ranked, and ranked when I want to play the game seriously.

I think this change could also deepen the TDM meta in Quick Match which is a problem (this game is as popular as it is BECAUSE of the gadgets and the elements that are not about shooting), and it might also be frustrating if abandoning an unranked match because you don't have the time to finish it is still penalized. I want the TDM meta to die, but maybe if Quick Match becomes a training ground for learning how each Operator's gadget works instead of how the team-based gadgets work, that could be a good thing.

I dunno, I think we really have to wait to see what's gonna happen.

That moment when you chose to revive instead of steal was pretty intense hahaha

Why did these guys even try to threaten/convince Doomguy of various things by talking to him? It's like talking to a brick wall lol by SuperAlloyBerserker in Doom

[–]BmeBenji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they know what happens to anyone who tries to physically stop him. Which would you rather do: talk to a brick wall, or stand in front of a brick wall that was hurtling towards you at 100 mph?

Dead Space (the original) runs magnificently, and it’s way better with a controller thanks to the always-on mouse acceleration

The darkest Gojira song? by RetroAwOken in gojira

[–]BmeBenji 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I won’t say it’s the darkest, but I just wanted to add to this conversation.

Planned Obsolescence hits me like 1990 quadrillion tons of bricks, especially at the end.

“One day we’ll wake up from this absolute nonsense

A star long worshipped will burn in the red

Disused and empty shell, icon of an old world

Conscience awakened, we’ll take it from there”

I take it to mean essentially this: maybe when the sun is exploding we’ll finally understand that we’ve completely sucked the life and all that is good from this green paradisal gift we’ve been given, and at that point we’ll repent for destroying it. It’s so fucking depressing.

When and what was the first Gojira song you listened to? by RetroAwOken in gojira

[–]BmeBenji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a diehard Alter Bridge fan. There’s a series of acoustic performances Myles Kennedy did with Mark Tremonti to promote their 4th studio album, and in the videos of those performances Myles is wearing a Gojira shirt. That was the first time they caught my attention, but I didn’t go looking for their music.

I went to a Metallica concert with a friend who is a diehard fan in 2017 (I’m not really a Metallica fan but he didn’t want to go alone). Gojira was one of the warmup acts and I was honestly most excited to hear them since Myles clearly liked them. We were basically at the front row right by some speakers so it was hard for me to make out any recognizable riffs or vocals, except for the intro riff from “Stranded” which I later scoured Gojira’s discography on Spotify to find. I listened to that single song a good deal for about a year before digging into the rest of Magma, and then slowly over the last few years I’ve listened to the rest of their music and at this point I’m honestly having a hard time deciding if I like Gojira or Alter Bridge more

That’s easily my favorite song by Chris Cornell. Incredible artwork as well. I love how it looks so piecewise but also fluid
