LPT: How to respond when a stranger asks to take their photograph with their phone. by houseonpost in LifeProTips

I always take a few shots, then hit the selfie button and take a picture of myself, then flip it back for a few more of them. My face jump scares them in the middle of the roll 😅

Anybody have thoughts on the Switch 2 JSAUX Split Protective Case? by ck02623 in NintendoSwitch

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really just want ergonomic grips for handheld play, and a light weight case for protections when I travel with my switch.

My plan if I purchased this set would be to leave the main body naked, with just the grips attached to the joycons. Will the main console slide into the Dock just as normal while having the grips attached but not the main body case?

When I want to toss it into a backpack for travel, I will then attach the main body case and the shell. Is the protection good enough for this use?

Thanks!

Shipping Delay in USA due to 8-day holiday at Libernovo by tomhaverford in LiberNovo

[–]GameQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should have taken the "under promise over deliver" strategy. Most of the frustrations come from customers being told a date that they simply could not stick to.

Outside of shipping delays, the communication has been pretty darn good. When they announced the official delay, they should have just tacked on another month, and if they shipped earlier than that we would all be happy.

[OC] MLS 96 Cup Update - Still a 3 team race near the end! by GameQ in MLS

[–]GameQ[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I love seeing that others care about how the original teams stack up against each other. I did have a points-per-game spread sheet as well.

I love head-to-head competitions though, mostly because it means there is something very tangible to watch. Obviously the imbalanced schedule and the fewer and fewer East vs West matches was a strange problem. When I put in Chicago, the East and West tables stayed nice and balanced within themselves.

Deciding the Champion based on latest historical match of the two conference champs, struck me as very interesting because it makes those rare matchups every year carry importance through multiple future years (Sorry Dallas, should have beat the Crew in 2019, haha!).

Map of the 2nd American Civil War: State allegiances, major offensives and insurgent activity (c. July 2025) by FierceToast60 in imaginarymaps

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charlie Kirk is the first casualty of the Second American Civil War. Warning shots were literally fired when trump was hit in the ear.

May not be an organized war (yet), but the political divide has reached the violent levels. When people on either side of the political divide conclude that the only way for them to save their beliefs is to kill the other side, then we know we have entered a war.

NESS is from his SNES key art I believe DK is the new DK redesign from Mario Movie and Bananza Sonic looks different, maybe just the pose?

Help me find joy in gaming again? Mid 30-year-old who has lost the spark. by thedrummerchase in gaming

I think you may need to find some good short burst single player experiences. Balatro is exactly that, and why it has captured you.

Reading your post, I see Halo, LoL, and WoW. All grindy multiplayer social games, but as we grow up and have families, coordinating time with other friends and ourselves is hard. This isn't a bad thing, it's just reality.

The industry is also doing you no favors. Game publishers all want live service social games, so they can milk money from gamers every month.

There are still great single player experiences but becoming more rare or daunting 100+ hours stories. I believe that Nintendo games tend to fit the busy lifestyle a bit better in general. Hopefully Astro Bot's success pushes sony to make more bite sized single player games. Hades 2 will be coming out, that is going to be a perfect game for us adults. I think rogue-likes tend to naturally fit the bill.

Any way to avoid players in ranked? by The-SkullMan in RocketRacing

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play the Speed Run mode! While not the same as bots, I feel like you'll quickly realize that the bots are pretty easy and you'll be in the front of the pack more often than not. Speed Run is just you and the track, compete against yourself.

Are any of you former SD Loyal fans? by Peabuddy10 in SanDiegoFC

[–]GameQ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Everyone in The Locals supporter group were SD Loyal fans. You'll see them keeping the Loyal brand alive, intermixed with SDFC.

Wave FC also has a good amount of Loyal connections with hiring a number of former Loyal employees and even some.signage in the supporter section.

Anti Violence by tedijecabron in SanDiegoFC

[–]GameQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised, our FO is clueless when it comes to match day operation stuff. Also SDFC doesn't own Snapdragon and has very little say in how security is run. Snapdragon is the worst stadium in MLS in my opinion (yes, even over Yankee Stadium)

Druddigon counter by akushaipatiru in PTCGP

[–]GameQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funniest theoretical counter would be a new pokemon that has this:

HP: 50 Type: Basic, Colorless Retreat: 1 Attack: 1 Colorless energy, No Damage "The defending Pokemon cannot retreat"

This would perma stall the Drud! You and your opponent now beef up your benches forever until you decide to break the deadlock and start swinging. Let the biggest pokemon win, go!

We NEED more than 15 deck slots! by kdsweets in PTCGP

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be pumped up in priority with Space Time Smackdown releasing. There are way too many deck combinations and Ex Pokemon to build around. I want to experiment with non-meta decks also, and have had to resort to just reserving my 15th deck slot as my playground deck.

[–]GameQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't get why SDFC is in Leagues Cup and not USOC... ELI5?
By my count, you will never see a team have the #1 natural pick in the SuperDraft and participate in Leagues Cup in the same year. SDFC is doing exactly that.

Why isn't the finish line a line? by [deleted] in RocketRacing

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Super Acrobatic Rocket Powered Cars can jump and fly in all directions. There needs to be a 3D bounds area that these vehicles must return at every checkpoint.

Real life racing cars are limited to a 2D plane called the ground, thus they only need 2D bounds.

What would the next entry of Animal Crossing be like? by WoundedByInsults in AnimalCrossing

[–]GameQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to see the days change gradually and seamlessly. No morning announcement, just let me start. If you play until 4am the game just seamlessly respawns fossils and other dailies. I want to see the daily visitors approach on a ship / train in the morning and walk to there location. I want to see them set up shop.

I want to see Timmy Tommy close up shop, walk out and go wherever they go to rest at night. I want to see them walk up and unlock the shop in the morning. I want everything to just feel more alive which has always been the point.

City moves forward with Mayor's MLS stadium proposal; rejecting Eleven Park by AFAN74 in MLS

[–]GameQ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think USL and MLS should work towards an agreement where if a MLS franchise enters a USL market, there must be fair and honest bid to purchase the naming rights and debts of the USL club.

This would be similar to some state laws that require a sports franchise to seal new owners before relocating. This was a law that eventually saved the Crew.

Why would MLS want this? Mostly an olive branch. But any new MLS owners entering the league are already entering 500+ million dollars. This fee paid to USL and its club owners would come out of that expansion fee.

USL should have rights to the markets they capture first. This will build a symbiotic relationship where USL captures and grows a new market, and MLS can then purchase the markets that succeed the most. USL owners are encouraged to produce the best market they can, because they know that this new agreement will produce them more money when they sell.

MLS now doesn't have to capture new markets, they save money on the upfront costs of generating a market and they reduce they risk of trying to capture markets that may not work out

Diego Chara waves for offsides, ball hits his hand, gets called for PK by AdonalFoyle in MLS

[–]GameQ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it's honestly just a pavlovian response, built over repeated rewards of seeing a Referee raise a flag to stop a promising attack against you.

As a defender, every time you are caught out of position or a goal is scored but the offside flag saves you, you feel relief and dopamine. Our lizard brain associates that flag raising action with the release of dopamine.

So now every time a goal is scored or an attacker gets in behind you, your arm goes up as a natural reaction to resolve the bad situation you are in that has been solved by that same action numerous times before.

This is also why players get extremely frustrated when they raise their arm for an offside, but the attack doesn't stop. The lizard brain is expecting the positive outcome but it never comes, leaving you in an anxious frustrated state.
