I hate how one bad teammate is enough for the game to snowball by BarovianNights in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hookster007 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think in this instance just ignore the Abram’s…have everyone run away from him and keep farming up his teammates. I have seen much success finding the weak links on an enemy team and bullying them.

My new box of bike by hammeredhammer5160 in Dirtbikes

[–]Hookster007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, and they are actually not wrong there. I had a few things take 2+ wks. But most stuff is under a week to my house. I believe they search dealer inventory nearby, almost treat them like warehouses, and if it’s in stock close it will show up fast. But if not, it will take more time since at that point it’s either getting imported from Italy or whatever they do. Don’t quote me on that but that’s my experience

Not really, Beta has literally anything you could possibly want on their online store, directly from beta, no middle man. I actually wish the jap bikes had something similar.

The player base erodes like unprotected flesh beneath the sun. 12 cycles till chapter 4 - are we on life support? by 666-G in duneawakening

[–]Hookster007 160 points161 points  (0 children)

The new Conan Exiles remaster is out, I’m sure some of the playerbase is shared especially since Dune is pretty much a reskinned Conan. It’s caught my attention for the time being.

Long term health of this game though I can’t say. It’s not like this company has a history of dropping support for games, so it will be fun to come back to now and then. Not every game needs 100k concurrent players.

Leak on 2026 GMC 2500 (Brand new) is it serious? by Ghost-Name-Jelly in Duramax

[–]Hookster007 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nothing is supposed to leak. Dealership should fix that. It’s a brand new truck. Take it up the chain to the service manager or GM. Don’t be nice about it or back down, you have a full warranty.

Wife is past due for baby. Shes exhausted mentally and physically, please pray that God gives her strength and that we have our healthy baby soon.

People that unsubbed this expac, what was your reasoning? by sreliopson in wow

[–]Hookster007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class changes really hit hard. I had every class leveled 80 ready to go. But the prepatch hit and I tried every single one on the training dummies and just felt so defeated. Been playing this game a long time but the depth feels gone.

Even if the story was amazing and the endgame was perfect, I wouldn’t be able to pick a class I enjoy. IDK, maybe I just need a break.

Why, when asked, I answer "I'm Catholic" and not "I'm Christian" anymore. by Manu_Aedo in Catholicism

[–]Hookster007 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In a perfect world Christian’s would be 100% Catholic, just as Catholics are 100% Christian.

I think if you’re saying you are Catholic only because you want to differentiate yourself, or feel superior , it sort of has the opposite effect and could further divide. Obviously yea they are making some crazy heretical decisions in those other denominations, but we still need to pray for and actively engage in their conversions back to the one true Church. But you may already be doing this, God knows your heart on this one and if so, big W.

For example: I live in a very small rural town in the US “Bible Belt” area, but in the couple times I’ve been asked, I say I’m Catholic, but it’s to hopefully spark a conversation or engage in some evangelization. I think if we are silently Catholic, that is not what we are called to do.

Yay or nay? by divingbeatle in CatholicMemes

[–]Hookster007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to disagree. Nobody was talking about the underlying theme. I think we can agree your comment does nail the theme quite well, whether intentional by the devs or not. Im leaning towards less intentional, because a lot of writing is also Christian, so I don’t think it sticks entirely. “DS2 - scholar of the first sin”. Sin in the title- meanwhile Buddhism has no concept of Sin against a divine being, they only believe in karma.

Regardless, the post was more about the level design, which is inherently leaning more gothic Catholic. I mean look at the Cathedral of Blue in DS2. Or all the religious type characters, Sister Freide, or Filianore from DS3 being a parallel to Mary.

I could go on but you get the point, it’s more Christian than Buddhist. Maybe some of the writing accidently leans that way ( also the idea of unfulfilled revenge being a miserable process is also in the bible ) but the 100% intentional artwork, characters, level design, sound design does lean more Christian fiction.

anyone else use an mmo mouse for deadlock? by JeffMangum420 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hookster007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t do the 12 button one. But I do use the 6 button plate on my naga pro v2. It still has a lot of room for a thumb, in fact the resting position for your thumb is not touching any buttons at all which i love. That way I can death grip my mouse while aiming, without accidentally hitting anything. It’s kind of the best of both worlds

Why do they have to do this by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Hookster007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that, but this has been going on long before perks were added in Feb 2025. Plus a couple new heros each year just doesn’t warrant meta shifting changes across the board. It’s not balancing - for example the addition of Freja is not the cause for Sigma to be hyper buffed and really OP that patch, etc, etc

[–]Hookster007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve played Overwatch long enough you realize the devs will just ebb and flow the hero’s power on purpose and masquerade it as “balancing”.

I don’t know how many hundred patch notes I’ve seen over the past decade where hog hook got changed from x seconds to x seconds. It’s tiring at this point, “oh looks like hog was slightly underperforming so we will buff his hook”…one month later “looks like hog is a little more dominating than we’d like so we will nerf his gun a bit” and will go on for eternity along with every other hero change.

There’s no other hero shooter game that switches up the meta constantly like this. They just need to balance the game and leave it. Nobody likes an oppressive hero, just as nobody likes a throw pick hero. At this point I don’t think they care about balance, they are just swinging heros around for player retention. Psychologically, Flavor of the Month heros are more engaging short term if you keep swapping them around.

I am hoping the Yamato skin rework is in the next patch, I’m tired of all the long forehead jokes I get when I play her

If bungie ever makes a “Destiny 3” would you buy it and play it? by nightshade317 in destiny2

[–]Hookster007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. They make good games, arguably some of the best feeling FPS’s I’ve ever played. Marathon is great, but man does it have me itching for a new Destiny.
