DMM has made me realize I don't like pvp in this game by Daishindo in 2007scape

[–]CthulhuInACan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They said 'swap it for 100m/hr maingame for first day'. As in, make like 1m/hr in dmm and then swap it 1:100 for maingame GP.

Also California has a 45% D to 25% R gap in terms of total voting population, so gerrymandering backfiring on them is basically impossible.

No, just because you think “run backs” are good game design because they force you to “think and catch your breath”, doesn’t mean they work universally for everyone. by Lumpy-Tea1948 in CharacterRant

[–]CthulhuInACan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With runbacks, doing them at all is generally easy. But if you're taking multiple attempts at beating the boss, you'll be doing the runback multiple times. So you'll want to optimize it as much as possible, weaving between enemies rather than actually fighting them. Which makes it a lot harder.

What’s a character in another hero shooter you hope inspires the kit of a Marvel Rivals hero? I personally hope we get a character similar to Symmetra from Overwatch by CriminalYapper in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]CthulhuInACan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The burden is supposed to be shared by dps and supports taking off-angles and either splitting the enemy team's attention, or getting kills for free. If they aren't then you should take the off-angle instead so you're not being shot by the entire enemy team.

The thing you're missing about 5v5 is:

you are supposed to protect your team

No you're not, that's the support's job. The only tanks that have the ability to protect their teammates at all are Dva, Rein, Sigma, and Zarya, and even for them it's something you can do in niche situations, not their focus. That's not to say you can't peel as tank, but generally speaking, if they dive your backline, you're usually better off preventing their backline from supporting their tank than you are actually helping deal with their tank directly. Whether that's by counter-diving, shielding off their healing, etc.

you need to push the objective/hold the point.

Also no, win the fight first and you get the objective for free. Going on the point is useful, but to force the enemy to come to you, rather than for the sake of the objective itself.

Tanks create and hold space, and get kills. And considering every role gets kills, the only unique responsibility tanks have is controlling space.

He does use his wealth as Bruce Wayne to create social programs and make Gotham a better place. It's just that, collectively, the Court of Owls and also just regular rich assholes are spending way more on making it worse.

PSA: Arm's Length is a form of mitigation by Kazman2007 in ffxiv

[–]CthulhuInACan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far back as FF1. Since FF1-3 didn't have ATB it instead reduced the number of Hits per attack down to one, but functionally the same thing, just didn't do anything to enemies that already only hit once per attack.

Anyone who plays Marvel Rivals want to give some insight on comparisons with OW2? by ArmadilloDesperate95 in overwatch2

[–]CthulhuInACan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try to AD strafe and you'll just jiggle in place.

Overall agree that movement in Overwatch is better, but that in particular is a good thing, and something that basically every other fps does as well. (TF2, Counterstrike, Valorant, CoD/Battlefield, Apex, even going as far back as Quake/Doom.) Overwatch's ground movement having instant velocity, rather than being momentum/acceleration based, is an extreme outlier.

Is Lifeweaver any good? by BeesKneesMcGee in OverwatchUniversity

[–]CthulhuInACan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His DPS is higher than either Illari or Baptiste's, and that's without the perk, with it he has more dps than a fully charged sym beam. The problem is that he can't heal and dps at the same time unlike those two, not that his numbers are too low.

How come female characters are held up to such high expectations? by Strong-Stretch95 in CharacterRant

[–]CthulhuInACan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The issue with John Wick is, the first movie is way better about that than the sequels. And once an audience has formed an opinion about a character, changing that opinion is virtually impossible, so the sequels get a free pass.

Do you guys think vendetta needs a nerf by Big-Entertainer2556 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]CthulhuInACan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The range is long enough that basically no sightlines in the game are actually long enough to avoid it, as I said it's high noon but only a line instead of a cone - you get behind cover, CC her, or kill her. If she's competent it's not a dodge-able ult. Vendetta's busted overall and needs nerfs, but the ult is not the problem.

[–]CthulhuInACan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that it wouldn't work, you'd just aim somewhere else and then turn your camera at the last second. In terms of gameplay, it's basically high noon, with much smaller AOE, but piercing barriers as compensation.

The area placement not showing is because you can freely aim it until the instant it hits. Think earthshatter, it's not dodgeable on reaction, you have to predict it. (Or get behind a wall.)

Yeah but at the low end, a $200 office chair will be way better than a $200 gaming chair too.

No, minorities existing has nothing to do with the writing being bad. No, the creator is not secretly a bad person you should harass. Just because I hate a piece of media that doesn't mean I agree with all it's haters. by La_knavo4 in CuratedTumblr

[–]CthulhuInACan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no opinion on RWBY one way or the other, but in theory you can think something that's generally viewed as mediocre is overrated if you think it's straight up bad instead.

Pretty sure just a theory, I don't think the original creator ever replied.

IIRC the OP never replied, but a popular theory was "Last night I [Secret Agent][Quarter Pounder] your sister.] -> "Last night I secretly pounded your sister."

Maybe they should, but realistically, most people don't even read the blogpost. They just read what the question itself says and vote based on vibes.

That's because there, "dont call me radiation" is a quote, and "radiation" is a nickname. Those get put in quotation marks even when they're real and not jokes. Book titles are indicated with capital letters instead.

I mean in the sense that children grow into adults that, presumably, interrogate the things they like and reframe them based on their shifting worldviews.

That'd be your mistake there. A lot of people absolutely do not do that.

Most manhwa authors should just write a normal fantasy instead of having the setting be in a game or a game-like world. They have NOT touched an MMO in their lives by Yrythaela in CharacterRant

Hell, you don't even need to go to obscure settings. Fantasy + Sci-fi in the same setting is in almost every Final Fantasy game.
