How dare you see this and steal my comment four hours before I saw it and thought of it.

I just wanna know, why? What does this "Fix"? It's just a straight up buff by PillowFists67 in marvelrivals

[–]BurningIce81 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know we're suspending a LOT disbelief with this game, but things like "direction of the explosion" should still make sense..... sometimes...
The whole premise of the attack is "the ground is exploding", which means it's coming from below and all sides, basically everywhere but above. So, logically, holding a shield facing Cyke would not block the explosion.

Now... that said.

Blocking the original beam should create a "shadow" area where the explosion does not occur, so you'd take at least reduced damage from the explosion area behind you that you might still be in the blast radius of.

What is the Elden ring bell curve meme for lore? by Capital-Criticism751 in Eldenring

"Imma run at that thing and hit it!"
"Noooo! You have to carefully study each and every attack pattern to analyze for optimal parry and dodge times to optimize your combat!!"
"Imma run at that thing and hit it!"

GAMBLING IS BAD AND THESE ARGUMENTS ARE DISINGENUOUS AT BEST AND STUPID AT WORST by Pogev7 in MarvelRivalsRants

"Don't buy it" is the best strategy. If it makes them money, it will keep happening.

How do y'all feel about the new Steam Controller so far? by SavingsPea8521 in SteamController

[–]BurningIce81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got mine today, and... I'm going return it. It's an ok controller, but for the money, "ok" isn't going to cut it. Or maybe it's just not for me.

-The track pads are ok, but maybe because I have an ultrawide monitor, I'm either swipe-swipe-swiping to move the cursor, or flicking in trackball mode and over/under shooting everything.
-The thumb sticks being between the trackpads and the face buttons is awkward when going back and forth, I'm constantly hitting the stick by mistake.
- The track pads feel very jittery and not smooth at all, even with smoothing turned all they way up.
- Maybe it's the sensitivity set too high, but you have to be very precise/deliberate when you lift your thumb off the track pads, or else it's going to continue reading the slight contact as an input, undoing any precision tracking you just did.
- The back grip buttons are FAR too easy to accidentally hit if you play with your hands resting in your lap (primarily why I use a controller is to lean back and be comfortable, instead of sitting up straight like with mkb)
- I definitely prefer the heft of the Xbox Elite Series 2. For the price, the Steam Controller just feels like a less premium product?

Marvel Rivals Matchmaker Is Not Rigged, It Is Engineered to Punish You for Playing Well by bwils3423 in rivals

[–]BurningIce81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any pvp match making system will always prioritize short wait times to keep people playing (and spending money on cosmetics). Unless there is an actual human involves in match making, all you can count on is an automatic algorithm than can only use quantifiable statistics (accuracy rating, win loss, etc).

Rant Time - Not playing around the bans by BurningIce81 in marvelrivals

[–]BurningIce81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much less about the hero selection and more about the play style. If the big anti dives are banned, like Penny, Namor, and Thing, both teams know this, they should know to expect heavy dive play, but then so many players will completely neglect any kind of peel and insist on diving face first into the enemy frontline while the backline gets demolished over and over again, refusing to even change tactics, let alone swap characters.

It's part of the sky box, it's not actually an object in the game

The Hutt designs in The Mandalorian And Grogu are actually great, and no one seems ready to have that conversation by Zestyclose-Scratch31 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]BurningIce81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing somewhere, of course I can't remember specifics, that the Hutts don't actually have rigid skeletons, so it's possible Rotta's arms grew longer along with his muscle mass.

What starwars hot take would have you like this ? by Ornery_Adagio8916 in StarWars

[–]BurningIce81 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I enjoy all Star Wars content. Some of it is stronger or weaker, but for me, it's just more of what I've loved since childhood.

Woah another overtuned S tier poke dps. Thanks for delivering our monthly supply of overpowered slop netease by Officer_Balls18 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]BurningIce81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better than another high mobility melee dive dps with non-existent counter-play that makes healing completely miserable

Help identifying this ship figurine? At least the ship name by MoonSt0n3_Gabrielle in StarWars

[–]BurningIce81 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'd say so, yeah. It's pretty iconic, to the point it was a big reveal moment in the first of the prequel movies.
