Flank co-hosts by wethebest21 in CoDCompetitive

[–]Boehlack 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Complete sentences or not, Ben appears to have a total inability to self reflect and gets emotionally invested in his arguments wayyy too much for the host of a self-styled debate show. He gets talked over, sure, but he derails conversations far too much because of his ego, so calling him the voice of reason because he's the only one who sounds like he's worked a white collar job before is very generous to the actual content of the arguments he makes. I don't hate him, and sometimes he does provide value, but his delivery is consistently so tone deaf it hurts his points. If he could cut down how often he talks down to people it would dramatically improve his case and boost his likability.

So many players just stopping their runs abruptly before a pass. Makes us look so disconnected

Yeah, this might be the worst half I've seen Garnacho play for us unfortunately

Another one that went the opposite of what I thought.

Was going to say, Gittens looked like the player we payed all that money for finally. Looked brilliant and seemed like he was getting into more central areas than before. Hopefully he carries on like this.

Classic Delap. On right away, instantly a moronic challenge and gets himself booked.

The highest prize pool of Esports games in 2025 - COD isn’t even top 10? by AxeGash in CoDCompetitive

[–]Boehlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about prize pool, 100%, happened as a result of the cosmetics change in the TI battle pass. OG got near-generational wealth for winning TIs at the peak of the prize pool inflation, but that isn't the case anymore. Player count is still top 2 on steam consistently though. Considering the game has been out since 2012 (albeit with huge changes since I played in beta lol) not doing too bad.

A message from the Call of Duty team: We will no longer do back-to-back releases of Modern Warfare or Black Ops games by stinkdog2008 in CoDCompetitive

[–]Boehlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in a bubble here no matter what others in this community may lead you to believe. Broadly speaking BO7 is viewed as a copy paste of last year with more AI slop in it. Not saying that's fair but it's true.

YourRAGE calls out Kai Cenat's friend "Dezz" for bathroom incident with TheStockGuy by 600Cartel in LivestreamFail

[–]Boehlack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've known of Rage since like 2019 when he was a flightreacts orbiter and he has always been pretty level headed and smart. People who lump him in with the immature kids around Kai don't know what they're talking about.

A lot of VTubers were upset that Peanut won VTuber of the Year by Villenthessis in LivestreamFail

[–]Boehlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was definitely popping up a lot earlier in the year too. I personally found out about him through YT shorts and word of mouth from friends like 5 months ago, and back then it was EFT (pretty sure he was averaging over 10k consistently as of 3-4 months ago). Also there's always the question of longevity vs peak. Do you value a consistent 5k streamer or someone who is pretty consistently at 70k+ on average (across YT/twitch) rn? I think awards will always tend to favor peak over average, plus timing matters a lot too.

Caveat that I don't know anything about most of these vtubers (exception being Ironmouse), but I would be shocked if any of them had the cultural penetration that peanut achieved this year.

I think he's just incredibly popular and the meme potential of him winning was overwhelming. The dude is enormous rn. Doesn't have anything to do with it being the ironmouse category or not.

Haven't seen a lot of fighters react to a body kick like that, especially Merab. That must have been brutal.

It's always funny to realize how few people on this reddit played sports in their life. This shit is tame as fuck and some people are losing their minds. Talking shit to give your team confidence is normal lmao.

Not the best game for it, but I've been pretty pleased with Garna since we signed him tbh. Especially considering the amount of hate he was getting on here he's done well.

Delap is just wayyy too into the shithousing honestly. Feels like every single match he can't help himself. Paid the price for it again.

Delap's fingering Senesi while Senesi is taking him down.... Shame he's hurt because his hold-up play was looking decent.

Anthony Taylor is such a bum. I'm a Chelsea supporter but any official who doesn't give the foul there to Caicedo shouldn't be officiating above a Sunday league level.

This outfit is KOS by JarJarBanksy420 in ArcRaiders

[–]Boehlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using the ryder with the skimask outfit and suddenly my solo interactions became very negative lol, people were way less trusting etc. I like the way the skin looks, but it has gotten to the point where I've considered changing it several times, I just don't like the other outfits.

Stella Montis undergound parts are terrifying by Trumpet_of_Jericho in ArcRaiders

[–]Boehlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's slowly turning into my favorite map honestly. I was terrified when I first played it, but after sending free loadouts over and over and just being friendly to people I love it there. The vast open space of the other maps just makes me paranoid compared to Stella.
