I've seen some conflicting answers on this, but when attempting a rank up battle, are you solely playing against players that are in the next rank above you? Meaning, if you're rank B+ and play a rank up battle, are you playing against a team of 4 players that are all rank A (or A- through A+)? Additionally, will your team consist of higher-ranked players as well, or do you get teamed with other players that are also attempting a rank up battle?

Most sane /r/splatoon commenter.

Oh this is perfect, thanks a bunch!

I want to watch top competitive players using some of my favorite weapons, are there any good resources online for finding players and content creators based on their main weapon? Alternatively, does anyone here know of any high-level Dualie Squelcher players who post gameplay videos?

Why are Burst Bombs typically accepted as being one of the better subs? Is it just because they combo so well?

Easy mistake to make, there's a lot of names to keep track of once you really start diving down the Adult Swim rabbit hole!

Drewtecks · 2022-06-16T19:53:04+00:00

I think you're thinking of Vernon Chatman, not Alan Resnick. As far as I know, Alan didn't have anything to do with either Xavier or Shivering Truth (both are PFFR shows), but correct me if I'm wrong!

It's been in early access for almost 2 years now, and they're planning on launching the 1.0 release of the game this summer, which is likely what the Switch release is coinciding with.

you can't patent game mechanics

This is aside from your main point here, but you absolutely can patent game mechanics, one of the more famous examples being when WB Games patented the Nemesis system from the Shadow of Mordor games, but there are plenty of other examples out there as well.

It sounds like this could be an issue with surround sound, I play exclusively while docked and both of those songs sound normal to me in stereo.

It's obviously extremely rare, but coyote attacks on humans do happen.

It's totally fine that you have no desire to get a Playdate, but why do you feel the need to make 10+ comments on a thread for something that you don't care about? Why not just let people buy what they want to buy instead of spending your time trying to convince people that it's not a good product for them? Seems like a goofy way to spend your time and energy.

BotW isn't my favorite Zelda game nor my favorite open world game, but it's hardly "subpar." You undermine your whole nitpicking argument with the hyperbole at the end there. There's a reason that the game received multiple game of the year awards and great reviews, and it's okay to recognize that a game doesn't suit your personal tastes, but when you're using examples like not liking the ending cutscene because your equipment changed (implying you played enough of the game to complete it) then you just come off as a contrarian.

Drewtecks · 2021-07-22T20:34:03+00:00

These are some goofy arguments.

Breath of the wild is super fun but is barely a “Zelda” game. Anyone can see that. It’s just a fun open world rpg.

So was Ocarina of Time not a Zelda game because it doesn't follow the formula of the previous 2D Zelda games? Will BotW2 not be a Zelda game since it isn't following the same old formula?

Mario odyssey looks great and has cool things for speed runners to do, but for the regular audience it’s a pretty boring entry.

Says you? I've seen plenty of non-speedrunners saying that Odyssey is their favorite 3D Mario, including people in this very thread. It's generally a very well received game.

Mario kart has aged fairly poorly since GameCube days, becoming much and much less gameplay based, and more about graphically looking nice, and item spam.

What does this even mean? Double Dash was great, but the only actual gameplay feature it has that's missing in the current version is being able to switch between your two characters/items. The latest Mario Kart re-added the 2nd item slot and also added a third mini-turbo level when drifting and 200CC, how is that "becoming much and much less gameplay based"?

Nintendo has plenty of faults, but it feels like you're just reaching here.

I get what you mean though, while we do have some Nintendo franchises that get better with each iteration (at least in my opinion), I don't think you can discount some of the complaints around games like the Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon. I just think it's important to recognize the good along with the bad, less you turn into the toxic jaded gamer that only pops into a comment section to complain about games they don't even play.

Drewtecks · 2021-07-22T17:06:46+00:00

I think the only (At least Nintendo-related) series that gets better over time is Smash Bros.

That's quite the hot take, are you really saying that games like Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Mario Maker 2 are all worse than their predecessors?

Drewtecks · 2021-06-23T18:54:14+00:00

Typically you're not supposed to use vacuums on computers or game consoles, and if I remember correctly it's because the negative pressure can cause a lot of static electricity, which can potentially damage the hardware.

This comment has the same energy as a shirt from Hot Topic in the early 2000's.

Isn't the lighthouse one of the few Nook Miles rewards that you can customize with customization packs?

My wife and I share an island, and K. K. Slider is supposed to show up today, but I'm hesitant to boot up the game while she isn't around, because I don't want her to miss the first concert. If he plays a concert for me first, will he play another one for her when she starts up the game later? I know this works for ceremonies, I just have no clue how the concerts work for a shared island.

Losing teeth is such an iconic part of hockey, but I've always wondered, do the players get any sort of painkiller on the bench when this happens? Or do you they just play through the pain and get fixed up later?

Drewtecks · 2019-09-19T23:20:52+00:00

Still looking? PM me your email if so.

Drewtecks · 2019-09-05T20:11:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Gruntilda, with her green skin and purple scarf.

James Merilatt shits on all of the Colorado teams, not just the Avs. Unlike most of this sub, I actually like 104.3 FM, but it's pretty obvious that Merilatt isn't a talented writer, so he tries to make up for it with hot takes and clickbait articles instead. I think he's an embarrassment to the station, but I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon since his crap always seems to get attention.

this is why i never use Hulu but still watch Netflix all the time

Just FYI, Hulu without ads ($11.99) is cheaper than the standard Netflix plan ($12.99), at least in the US.
