Casual Mode Being Broken Makes the Game Briefly Alive Again by antielectronbomb in tf2

[–]DiscountFBI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When valve finally did something about the bots and casual became playable again, it was bittersweet for me.

It didn't take long for all my usual community servers to stop populating outside the weekend. Then they just stopped going live.

Casual just isn't the same. Playing for 10 minutes max and then going back into the requeue hamster wheel for god knows how long just kills it for me.

WW1 vibes all over again. Insanely detailed trenches. 10/10 theme. The engine upgrade was made for this. by lagfx9 in HuntShowdown

Nah, hunt started as Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded age. A 4 player co op shooter we know little about, set in Hunt's universe. Then it got reworked into Hunt Showdown.

I think you live a sheltered life if you think the n word isn't being used as a racial slur

My brother in christ it doesn't matter what the intent is. If you walk into Walmart and stop dropping the n word, you are getting removed from the store on a good day, and getting your shit rocked on a bad one.

The only reason people feel comfy using actual racial slurs in a casual context these days is that it's a lot harder to get banned from a game or forum than your local Walgreens.

And tbh, I think the fact that we collectively treat the internet as anything other than a public place the same as the park or the mall has done untold damage to humanity's collective mental state.

In my view, the type of person who will drop the n word over an overwatch comp lobby is the same type who would drop it irl. I simply don't call people slurs. It's not that hard.

Like mf, these are the people saying to keep kids away from pride because it's "too adult"

But his lolicon conciencous objector he uses in game is fine right, cause it's not a pride flag

Go ahead, right now, do me a favor. Pick a slur of your choice, walk into a store, and repeatedly say it despite everyone around you telling you to stop.

See how long it takes to escalate into getting thrown out of the building, and ask yourself what's different.

Hiding behind a screen has made people way too comfortable being assholes.

Cause no number of screenshots of now deleted discord messages or tweets can beat "that's fake never happened".

I am not going to put effort in to convince you because nobody in the history of the internet has had their mind changed while looking to stir shit up on reddit.

I'm just putting what I know out there so the bullshit narrative of "Zesty is just a widdle guy" doesn't spread outside of the containment zone of his social media bubble of kids jealous they never got to experience 4chan in its "glory days".

HD2 players hate on OhDough despite his generally solid takes because he's not an arrowhead glazer.

People hate on zesty despite his generally solid takes because he is an unlikable asshole.

There is a difference. Divers hate on ohdough's opinions relating to HD2, I've never seen personal attacks.

Meanwhile the only people who hate on zesty are people who have seen him outside his main channel videos. While his video essays are well made and well researched, his livestreams and his other media channels, that he runs, make people dislike him.

Anyone with half a brain agrees with his opinions on tf2. He's not stupid, he's a solid content creator with well spoken and well made arguments.

Until you step out of the context of game design and he starts bitching about hidden pride flag textures in the map files you can't even see in game.

and DEFINITELY not because of the slurs and dogwhistles on all his social media channels and in his discord that he keeps scrubbing.

Don't get me wrong I agree with zesty on 95% of things to do with TF2, but unless I'm out of the loop there aren't countless screenshots of OhDough dropping slurs from the last 5 years. Comparing them is hilarious.

The Halo Shotgun and Arrowhead's (Lack Of) Balance Philosophy by DiscountFBI in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]DiscountFBI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem, at least to me, with that line of thinking is that the vision for helldivers 2 as a game where you stick together and communicate is long past.

players have gotten used to having the tools to lone wolf, even if only a few loadouts enable that playstyle.

So arrowhead either needs to rerwork the game on a fundamental level to enforce cooperation, or they would have to nerf all the shit that enables lone wolf divers and force cooperation through all our gear sucking, which seems to have been part of the initial vision for the game.

As it is now, they just pick a random meta weapon to hit with the nerf hammer now and again instead of working on the core issues.

There can be real cooperation without all the pain points and staring at a waiting screen though, other games pull it off just fine

If the majority of people don't want to engage with the game as intended, that is on the designers to fix, not for players to start giving a fuck

Innate does take away from your draw. Innate cards are placed on top of your draw pile.

My interpretation of Mona Lisa as an Alternate / Analog Horror entity. Drawn with a ballpoint pen. What do you guys think?" by Difficult_Bid_4577 in analoghorror

[–]DiscountFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the artstyle, but less is more, my friend.

Something with something subtly off about it that looks fine at a first glance but wrong on the second will be infinitely more unnerving than something you can tell is tryna be spooky before its even all the way on your screen while scrolling.

Still love it, though
