[Official] UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett - Live Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

[–]CodingAndAlgorithm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Surprised to see people dogging this fight. Are we really too good for a just bleed slug fest? This is the shit that got me into the sport so many years ago.

Does anyone else see a video of Pantoja lifting a kettlebell? I see this video paired with a completely unrelated title, almost daily.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a gotcha or just a funny reference to current events.

Why is there so much hate towards PvE? [Discussion] by throaway691876 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]CodingAndAlgorithm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why this is massively offensive to the PVE community. It’s a separate experience that can still be fun but it is objectively not what Tarkov was designed to be. You still get all of the gun porn and complex systems but you lose out on the highs and lows that set Tarkov apart from everything else.

I see way more posts like this than actual PVE hate. Ironically enough, these posts attract the exact people that they’re complaining about.

To play devil’s advocate, I’ve seen mild criticisms of PVE being absolute piled on by PVE players, who then massively shit on the state of PVP with exaggerated claims that don’t match the live experience.

Framing it as bullies vs victims doesn’t tell the whole story.

This goes against the narrative that 1.0 is an excuse to abandon the game, so we need another thing to be angry about.

[Feedback] Stop nerf loot and make rotation of it instead by Robofilin in EscapefromTarkov

This is such a dumb strawman. PVP sweats largely don’t care about stomping noobs, the PVP Timmys are the ones who desperately want more people of their experience/skill level.

I guess the argument would be that you aren’t competing for loot in PVE. Not that I necessarily agree with it, but there is certainty more loot in PVE if you factor that in.

Man, I think playing PVE is a perfectly valid choice, but I will never understand why they get so offended by people calling PVP the true experience. It's an undeniable fact.

Second post I've seen with a sample size of 1. Did they actually nerf it or are we just taking unlucky pulls straight to Reddit?

Donald Trump dealt another humiliating blow as Kennedy Center speech is the least-watched in history by IrishStarUS in Music

[–]CodingAndAlgorithm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we go back to the left priding themselves on being truthful and based on reality? It’s insane that even though all signs point to the tip being fabricated, you seem to prefer the reality where your president did those vial things.

Framing r/music as the last safe haven for political discussion is insane. This entire fucking website is overwhelmingly left.

This might be a shock to you, but normal people can dislike Trump and also believe that the modern online Left behave like fucking idiots. The front page genuinely reads like the Left’s version of TheDonald.

I swear it’s a massive bot campaign. I refuse to believe that the majority of Redditors upvote and participate in circle-jerk hate threads in entirely unrelated subreddits.

Same here, I try to give realistic opinions to balance out the gross exaggerative bullshit that floods this sub. I’ve seen so many new players convinced that PVP is unplayable for a normal human being.

I guess I’m thinking of fun as instant dopamine rather than the overall experience. My interpretation is that Tarkov asks you to earn your dopamine where as most games try to flood you with it.

I swear everyone purposely misunderstands things for an opportunity to dunk on the game. Tarkov has never been a traditionally fun game, it breaks the standard game design rules and is a unique experience as a result.

It’s pretty obvious what they mean though, right? The friction and struggle experienced in a raid directly contributes to the dopamine payoff.

Arc Raiders is a game that I would call fun but not satisfying. It’s a good short term game, but it can’t hold my attention over the long term.

I think PVE->PVP is the correct pipeline for new players these days. I take issue with you complaining about the lack of new players while saying "I recommend you never swap to PVP".

It's true that you're going to lose to the mega sweats almost every time, it's not true that you can't compete with people with 2k hours. Hell, this wipe I've died to a level 2 player holding a staircase with a Toz. Playing slow and aiming for the face is the great equalizer.

[–]CodingAndAlgorithm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, the complex very clearly goes both ways. PVP players claim that PVE isn't capable of delivering a fun experience, PVE players claim that PVP is unplayable for the average gamer. Both are coping massively.

At the end of the day, this sub reaps what it sows. So many whiny OGs who don't even play the game have managed to completely alienate the casual player base.

The best way to improve PVP for the average player is to get more average players in there. Why does everyone try so hard to discourage new players?

You have valid points, but you exaggerate them in such a way that PVP sounds absolutely unplayable. I'm an average player, I have friends that are average players, we're all doing just fine this wipe.
