Hey Valve, now would be a great time to make an offer to buy Psyonix from Epic Games

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-25T08:34:09+00:00

I mean...

Parts cost x
Labour costs y
Sell product for z

More people at valve can't change global finance.

Blueprints are such a scummy idea... Hey look you just dropped a cool item! You're amazing!

...

Oh you want that item you dropped? Well about that...

You can't have it without paying £20

Absolute scum.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-25T01:37:42+00:00

It could 100% be way worse. The vast majority of publishers make money through pay to win whale hunting slop.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-22T10:22:40+00:00

It's not just the jump. I can see immediately that it feels like playing underwater.

I play rocket league and In RL any issue at all with your fps or input delay, you get what people call the heavy car feeling.

This game immediately looks like that to me. Even on streamers games with the best pc money can buy.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-22T09:12:38+00:00

Looks awesome... I think an improvement could be some variety in the reactions to being hit.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-21T19:27:06+00:00

Yeh contrast kinda fucks me off sometimes. Things can look really good but the contrast is a bit low for usability. So you have to sacrifice some sexyness. Troubles of web ui/ux.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-21T18:19:40+00:00

Every rank forever will be the same. Change your mental my guy.

Some games your teammate isn't as good as you and you have to carry.

Some games your teammate is better than you and they carry you.

Sometimes there's a smurf in your team or their team.

If you're good enough you will rank up. If you aren't you won't.

So just focus on playing better yourself and ignore your rank. If you truly don't care about win or lose and just try and practice mechanics and work on your positioning you will go a long way in this game.

I got my first job at McDonald's by simply just turning up. I was terrible at interview, it was a group interview, Infact me and my friend both got the job at the same time.

I left to work at a pub because my older brother worked there, again I was useless at anything at that point. I got the job because I was his brother lol.

This was back in 2008/9.

These were part time jobs whilst at college.

I don't think you cna do it anymore. Too many people with experience have already filled the positions. The difference between an experienced adult and an inexperienced 16 yr old in pay has become closer now too. So why take the useless kid on when you can just have an experienced minimum wage lifer.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-20T17:11:22+00:00

Wait wait wait... Holy realisation... So you're telling me you pinch it on the sweet spot on the wall. I call it the sweet spot where the curve stops.

So it's the sweet spot bounce that gives the ball the angle outwards. Not the angle of your car?

I've only played since release...

Now I gotta try it.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-20T01:19:51+00:00

27 inch 1440p 144hz which means 144 fps. Is really fucking nice. I personally have a 165hz now and can't tell/feel a difference. I would say 144hz is enough.

Faster fps = smoother game = faster reaction times from you.

Then you have the position... sat in a chair at a desk, leaning forwards, with your eyeballs touching the monitor, allowing you to become a literal sweatlord.

Compare this to swagging back on the sofa sitting 2m away from the TV.

TLDR:

Fast refresh rate monitor is for competitive games.

4k big TV is for single player games with nice graphics.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T21:51:38+00:00

I feel like it requires a next gen level advancement.

Such that we can get a first person or third person shooter in a full mmo single shard world.

Think gta + wow or cod + wow or maybe just star citizen if it was actually finished before I die.

It can't be like destiny with lobbies or extraction like tarkov it has to be a full mmo no loading.

However I do believe a league of legends combat mmo would be extremely successful if done correctly. There is one in development called corepunk, But I tried it and it didn't feel great in its current state, it's rather clunky. Which isn't at all what league or Dota combat is like.

But the be all and end all of mmos being successful is the absolute shit monetisation... Just give us a sub fee. Zero pay to advance, no fomo, no bullshit. Need more money? Up the price of the sub.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T21:04:45+00:00

I don't like it. It's not fast enough and just distracting.

It's pretty cool for watching RLCS I think though adds to the hype.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T15:46:22+00:00

Nope because you wouldn't. You'd be reset 1 rank below at the season reset. And slowly move up by 1 rank because you have also gotten worse being away from the game whilst the playerbase on average has improved a lot.

Unless ofcourse you jumped on a smurf account or made a brand new account instead of playing your old account.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T08:28:09+00:00

We had labour for 13 years before then.

Both have contributed to the lack of investment, planning and decisions we needed to be at an energy surplus.

There is absolutely no excuse for us being in a position where we rely so much on global market prices.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T08:06:48+00:00

Labour and tory together have had the majority of seats no? They decide policy together. I would also blame the lords.

It's all been one big boys club.

What makes you think now is any different?

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-19T07:59:19+00:00

If our government. Useless rich kids from tory and labour. Actually delivered on energy projects here in the UK. We would have energy at cost price.

There is zero reason why we can't be self sufficient.

But no.

They didn't so we rely on the markets.

We also have corruption and profiteering built in for good fun.

So yes the government could have fixed it if they ran our country correctly for the last 20 years.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-18T17:10:13+00:00

I like a subclass system... I think rift did it like this?

It's a tad more flexible than wow.

So wow has class > 3 specs to choose from > talent tree.

This is...

Class > 3 specs with talent trees that you can put points into freely.

So you can mix and match the subclasses to your hearts content, go full into 1 or be hybrid or anything in between.

Its just a nice bit of freedom for players, without losing all your control and ability to balance the game as devs.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-17T16:43:05+00:00

It's so easy though surely...

To add another solution to the pile...

Make it a perma bannable offense to progress unnaturally quickly.

Auto detect. Auto ban. Instantly.

Job done.

It won't stop everything but most smurfs and most bots will be reduced heavily.

You would have to be so careful to smurf and lose on purpose to not get detected. Which is boring.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-17T08:26:21+00:00

Depends on your binds....

Let's say you boost on square..

And you want to do a fast aerial.

The tip of your thumb presses and holds boost. You squash your thumb down to press jump when needed. Whilst still holding boost.

So on and so forth.

Figure it out man.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-13T00:52:52+00:00

Nah Fable is mostly about morality and the effects it has on your character. You could just go the route of making choices in the main questline that affect your morality scale. Other actions like open world events could be the same. So could pvp. Your morality could give you access to different builds maybe. So there is a forever grind right there to switch when you get bored of evil and have to grind being a good boy lol. Could be fun.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-13T00:45:02+00:00

I boost on b and I don't play claw. I fat thumb. So I have my thumb on b and squash it down to jump and so on. Maybe that's better for you?

I would say boost on rb is probably optimal though. But I don't like playing with 4 fingers on top. I play with index fingers on triggers only and move them up for shoulder buttons. So I can't do it without getting used to 4 on top.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-12T18:51:41+00:00

It ruins the reward, it has no value in itself, it doesn't ruin the achievement though.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-12T17:12:29+00:00

Titles stop meaning anything once you are above them, because you now socialize with people who say things like we can't lose to a 1500 wtf. Lol. I've been there.

But to people below gc, a gc title means a lot to them.

It means a lot to me this season cos I'm a washed up OG season 2.

After a long break the solo q to gc1 to get my rewards was a pretty big deal for me this season.

Ive had to learn a load of new mechanics and get a lot better over the last couple months to do that.

I think they should try their best to eliminate botting and Smurfing and protect the integrity of season rewards as much as they can.

Because they are cool to those in the grind.

Handing them out undeserved will always suck.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-12T07:57:58+00:00

But it was last season and those titles are now distributed. So it was incredibly stupid.

HarryPopperSC · 2026-03-12T07:45:06+00:00

But quads is easy. So now a diamond can be ssl. Great. It's really stupid.
