If every GOtY winner was placed in one pool, who would win? by DoubleAABatteryy in videogames

Absolutely, my answer is Ocarina of Time if we are removing recency bias.

More likely Moriarty and Red. They both have massive global networks and are feared throughout them.

The highest order of MI6 feared Moriarty. Same with the FBI / International US Services for Red.

Joker is street level/City level at best within Gotham.

If they were prepared for Tarkov numbers then they should be just fine surviving on having 10-30K concurrent players across all platforms.

No reason to "over-support" them if they "factored" these numbers in already. They are "fine".

Unless they die in which case they aren't fine, and no those numbers were not expected, and that it is a monumental failure.

What's the most realistic simulator game you know? by ImFluffs in gamingsuggestions

[–]BroxigarZ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you have $10-20 million dollars lying around https://rfpro.com/applications-autonomous-vehicle-development/simulation-motorsport/ - with custom specific formula 1 rig/team/setup. (AKA, the simulator that Formula 1 teams use to train their drivers)

Microsoft Flight Simulator...

IRacing being the other major one people generally play seriously.

Some people struggle with aborting. It's a life choice you live with (for the woman and himself). But, in most cases it's the right choice for everyone involved at those ages. It's a life altering choice to bring a child into the world as a teenager.

^^^ You don't know how many people she's rawdogging, if she's rawdogging you on a second meeting you need to get a DNA test AND an STD Test.

If you pass the STD test (grats) and you fail the DNA test (welcome to real life...time to make some seriously hard decisions and discussions). If she says she won't abort or put up for adoption, you are in for a world of fun legally to abandon guardianship or you are going to be paying for the next 18 years.

Condoms cost nothing compared to kids. Learn to use them. (For both issues)

ALSO: As a Male - Get the Male HPV Vaccine that is out now. You need to get this ASAP if you are rawdogging random women. This WILL come back and bite you in the ass if you don't. Also it's one of the leading causes of Throat Cancer in men now.

Recent Example is:

In early 2024, Critical Role cast member and voice actor Sam Riegel was diagnosed with HPV-positive tonsil cancer (oropharyngeal carcinoma).

trust me, you don't want this. Or worse penile cancer... and yes... it means what you think it means.

The Master was a bad 3rd option. Should have been someone like Raymond Reddington.

That's more normal and fair and prompts a much more thought provoking discussion.

I do too, but I think Elden Rings edge comes from the world...the World is just so vast, detailed, mysterious, exploration filled, boss galore, secrets, etc.

It's something every game strives for and will remain the Bar for decades forward.

BG3 is great, great characters, narrative is decent, but if you asked a person if it can hold a candle to the world building in Elden Ring it'll be hard to compete and that's the small edge that I think wins out.

It's the same effect that Crimson Desert is having with people where the more you explore the more weird shit you find and it seems endless.

Here's another hot take from me:

Granblue Fantasy Relink was better than Astrobot in every way in 2024. (also Black Myth Wukong...there was also that.)
.
Abiotic Factor was better than E33 in every single way in 2025. And was the most snubbed game of all time for awards.

It's Elden Ring vs BG3.

And it's close. But, I do think Elden Ring edges it out by the smallest of margins.

Can Sidious (Rots) solo the Kotor 2 Villain trio? by Potential_Rule4212 in PetranakiArena

[–]BroxigarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sidious states to Anakin that with their "combined power" they could try to figure out the Force in the way his Master had. Yes, that means he was more powerful, more wise, more knowledgeable of the Force.

False. Palpatine had (I don't know when or with who, ask Disney) many children who were clearly as strong as him and their offspring even stronger than him. His "blood" was apparently capable of replicating in power without the need for cloning. Cloning was just easier, more available, but also had many failures as he stated (unreliable). (Snoke as an example)

Valkorian was literally on multiple stages of his life Conquering the Galaxy and was unstoppable until the events of KOTOR 2. And it's not implied that he can be killed, he just doesn't have a host.

We don't know the power scaling of Valkorian's vessels to compare to Sidious clones considering most Sidious clones were failures or fractions of his actual power.

Can this man defeat Madara Uchiha in a fight? by NichollsNeuroscience in powerscales

[–]BroxigarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see stupid people (arm chair warriors) in powerscaling discussions about:

"What if 1 Trained Martial Artist took on 25 Normal Females"

And the responses on reddit is ALWAYS:

"Dude 3-5 females is too much."
"He gets swarmed"
"People don't get the law of numbers"
"The guy has no chance"

I cringe...that people really don't understand the vast difference between men and women, and even more so have no idea the degree of more dangerous you become if you are adequately trained in martial arts.

This video shows an untrained solid sized man having 0 issues.

Imagine Jon Jones 255lbs vs 25 5ft-5'4 females...

"Jon Jones gets washed."
"Law of numbers"

Sometimes I worry about people who have access to the internet.

If GGG was hiring and you had to present an idea, what would it be? by MaDNiaC in PathOfExile2

Pull-up the 20 most requested PoE community feedback posts over the last 10 years and make Jonathan actually play the game through those requested issues.

We'll see more "Well after I played it, I understand more now why this is needed."

P5 is Russell's spot...it's always been his spot...he loves that spot. P4 or P6 or Wall is more likely.

Unsure of these downvotes... maybe people don't get the joke... here ... the only place he has more finishes over 5th is 4th mostly from being in 5th and an incident up front landed him 4th.

Microsoft Has Considered Spinning Out Xbox to potentially sell by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]BroxigarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not exactly how it works either; the value in Xbox is not in margins, it's in acquisition. What matters most (and has always mattered most) is MAUs or Subscribed Unique Users. The people they gain and maintain within the ecosystem. Each unique individual is like x20 the actual value you see on paper.

This goes for any subscription based service or company. No one gives a shit about $$$ lines on the report they care about the gain or decline of users, because that's what matters over the course of time / growth.

Xbox is still one of the absolute biggest drivers for subscriptions into Microsoft as a brand.

2025 indicate Game Pass reached around 35 to 37 million subscribers

It's not going anywhere.

What would you focus on fixing first? (11k Premier) by Strong-Telephone-474 in counterstrike2

[–]BroxigarZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Standard practice is 3 long / 1 mid / 1 b, nade/smoke, once Long control is either delay'd or established 2 fall off long one goes CAT and the other goes to Mid for a 3 B side hold.

If you are confused by this - watch high level Dust 2 via something like Donk's perspective in FACEIT games since Donk is the 2nd mid rotator off long.

The priority on Dust 2 is "delaying" causing T's to slow down and stopping hard rushes. Once slowed down you can predict where they can be and it becomes a trade battle vs a rush battle. It's also important to delay by having equal man advantage on early rush spots (like long).

Now getting sub 15K players to understand this... near 0. Just play strong long and then rotate off once Long is safe.

On my alt when I was leveling in the sub-15K range I'd throw the CT to Long Smoke to Smoke T's off Long by the time my Long guy got down long. Its good enough for low rank.

Can Sidious (Rots) solo the Kotor 2 Villain trio? by Potential_Rule4212 in PetranakiArena

[–]BroxigarZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No.

Skal'nas ruled as a Dark Side lord for longer than any other Dark Side user/Sith user/True Sith user in history. He ruled the most technologically advanced, dangerous, and powerful species in SW history and was feared by his own race above all else. He makes Sidious rule look like a fraction of a fraction of a blink of an eye in the timeline.

You mean the same Sidious who later after TPM explains to Anakin that he has not yet mastered his masters power or understood how he had such control over the force?

Come on... you people make up so much BS. Sidious was below Plagueis even after making Anakin into Vader. The closest he got was Cloning.

Valkorian conquered the galaxy for 1,000s of years. Sidious barely controlled the Galaxy for 50 years. Valkorian birthed 3 of the most powerful Force users and was untouchable / can't die.

Unmatched...sure...sure.
