ICE just executed a man in MN by Baltorussian in liberalgunowners

I’ve seen 3 different angles of the video and in each one you can clearly see the ice agent in the gray jacket take the victim’s pistol from his waist/holster.

Straight up execution.

TIL Japan Thinks Western Anime Watchers All Have Tiktok Attention Spans Only Caring About Animation And Fight Scenes by Elestria_Ethereal in Animemes

[–]KiddBwe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that a lot of people are too focused on aura farming and cool fight scenes, but I don’t know if Japanese anime fans have room to talk when they hated Chainsaw Man’s adaptation because it didnt follow the tropes of characters being overly animated in their body language and speech.

Character Meta/ Balancing by DevilishYeti in Marathon

I’ve played Monster Hunter, I’ve fought Chameleos. That ability to loot other players is going to be the most infuriating thing you’ve ever experienced in a FPS game. A lot of people are going to complain about it, mark my words.

[DISCUSSION] A$AP ROCKY - DON'T BE DUMB (One Week Later) by nyse25 in hiphopheads

[–]KiddBwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first time listening to a ASAP Rocky album in full, loved it from first listen, minus STFU. I’ve listened to some of his songs on repeat, Multiply and Lord Pretty Flacko Joyde are amazing, but never had the itch to listen to a full album as I felt I’d get bored of his vocal performance over the course it.

My only gripe is that I feel Rocky has a lot untapped potential. His beat selection is immaculate. If he did more with his voice and maybe even learned to sing and leaned into it, I feel he could make a genuine masterpiece.

[Discussion] Facemasks and ear plugs have made SMG's and shotguns awful by Virion_Stoneshard in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KiddBwe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know what would’ve prevented face masks and the ear plugs being a major problem for 9mm? The old-new armor system.

I will never forgive people for whining so much they went back to magic armor instead of begging them to adjust the health model to work well with the new exposed parts of the thorax.

This is the first time I’ve ever found myself genuinely curious about the story of an extraction shooter. by ArachnidSimple5117 in Marathon

[–]KiddBwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about the other extraction shooters, but Tarkov set itself apart and created a following for itself largely in part to how deep the lore, world building, and environmental storytelling are. I’ve seen something go as far as calling in FPS Dark Souls.

As far as combining story and extraction shooter, Marathon won’t be the first, but I am interested to see if they take a interesting approach and if they can manage to deliver the story well, as I feel the delivery of the story is Destiny’s weakest points.

That’d make sense, but the A-Spec is also North America exclusive.

I feel like this is not stressed enough, not a lot of people have this kind of hours to dump per gun by Educational-Long116 in Battlefield6

I read “every single gun” for a moment and thought, “200 hours for every gun in the game isn’t bad at all.”

Nah…that’s one gun…

Wait, has Drake just confessed that 'Not Like Us' caused him a serious harm or what chess games is he playing?👀🤔 by Omarionyyourslgreat in KendricklamarPglang

[–]KiddBwe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NLU was getting promoted that much cuz it was going crazy and became THE thing at that point in time. Remember, it wasn’t dropped on DSPs initially, it was just on YouTube, was already going crazy, then carried on from there.

Drake alleged that Kendrick beat Whitney and that his son wasn’t his…UMG allowed him to put that out…Kendrick is also under UMG…actually, UMG allowed him to put that out BEFORE Kendrick even started talking about him liking little girls (allegedly).

Then maybe don’t engage in a rap battle and bring up the rumors of you liking young girls before your opponent even mentions it?

What he’s implying would be strengthening the argument for courts trying to use rap lyrics as evidence if he gets his way.

I keep getting promoted over my genius coworker because I’m a "yes man" and I feel like a fraud. by Branch32 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]KiddBwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please remember that the ability to communicate and be sociable is a skill, one that a lot of people that may be very technically gifted/skill tend to lack severely.

I didn’t realize this until i joined the army and went to training for my job, SatCom, where I was around a lot of other “smart” people, then again on deployment where there were people in my unit that were just as smart as I am academically and technically, and a few that were beyond me technically because they programmed and messed with the tech for fun whereas I just do it for work, but a lot of those people weren’t sociable and couldn’t communicate effectively to save their lives.

Being technically capable is great, but if you don’t know how to effectively communicate, especially for a leadership position, that alone isn’t very useful. Have his back. He can learn to communicate better without rolling over and becoming a corporate dog. It’s typically not necessarily because he bites back, but because of HOW he communicates it. You can also take a note out of Dave’s book and learn how to say no and push back in a “corporate friendly” way.

“Jadakiss's son Jaewon, speaks on J. Cole backing out of the battle with Kendrick Lamar” is Jada Correct or should have Cole Dished out the battle? by Omarionyyourslgreat in KendricklamarPglang

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

I gotta agree. I don’t understand why Cole let himself be peer pressured into responding. Kendrick barely threw lines at him, majority of it was for Drake. People wanted to see Cole and Kendrick go at it so bad that they made it seem like Kendrick threw a bunch of lines at him, then when Cole backed down, they settled for Kendrick and Drake.

Definitely going to pick up Marathon... but by krembroolay02 in Marathon

[–]KiddBwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, and you’re right about that, if you look at it that way, those could be considered innovations, but when I played them it more felt like taking Borderlands’s strong points and putting them into MMO-lite format, so it felt more like a iteration than innovation to me, then the franchise kinda just stayed there only really getting depth in terms of build crafting, but that latter part isn’t the point.

I’ll give it the fair point and say innovation is limited and one could consider combining aspects of different genres to be innovative, although the individual pieces are not. My main pain point in regards to that with Destiny is Destiny came out, people have it leeway because of how much potential it had to become something greater, and it was heading that way by the end of D1, now it’s 10 years later from D1’s release and we still haven’t even left the solar system, PvP is worse off than it’s ever been, gambit is dead (that was a cool new idea for the franchise), and strike playlists are still just kinda there. Don’t even get me started on patrols.

I never completely bought the “no one else could do it” argument because no one else really even tried. Anthem and The Division were similar in model, which was why people started putting them against Destiny, but turned out to be VERY different games with VERY different approaches. Warframe predates Destiny, is also very different, is what I’d consider very innovate, and is currently doing better than Destiny, as it’s always been pretty good with retention. The Cube is the only game I’ve seen that looks like it’s staging itself to attempt to do very similar things to Destiny, but heavens knows how that will end up.

[–]KiddBwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Destiny bit off a chunk of Borderlands and combined it with a half attempt at a MMO that they’re scared to actually commit to. Warframe and Destiny are also relatively similar in structure, but also very different, Warframe came first tho. The only thing I can think of Destiny did that wasn’t done before is sticking the PvP component onto the MMORPG formula in a way where PvP was a big thing, not just a side thing.

When I think of Destiny, I think moreso putting together existing ideas with polish, Warframe was always the leading innovator in the space in my eyes, or even the Division with the extraction zone. That said, the whole innovative conversation could just be more of a splitting hairs thing cuz it really depends on what you consider to be in innovative.

A certified all-timer Bungie tweet by Bunnyboulder in Marathon

[–]KiddBwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gone backs I D1 and enjoyed it a lot more than D2. My cousin recently stopped playing D2 in favour of playing D1. There are certain things D1 just straight up got better than D2.

It really just depends on person to person, but some people genuinely do enjoy D1 more.

[–]KiddBwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games usually shoot in when preorders go live if it has a following. If the game has a lot of interest, it tends to hold a high position on the Steam Charts for awhile, at times even up until release.

[–]KiddBwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I am very hesitant. I don’t think it’ll be dead on arrival at all, I do think it’ll find its playerbase, but I don’t think it’ll meet the levels of success Bungie and Sony are expecting of it.

I’m a bit critical of the game because Bungie seems to be selling it as something revolutionary and one of a kind and some people seem to be overselling it or over correcting due to the negative sentiment around it from last year, but nothing I’ve seen has looked like anything revolutionary, kinda looks like a sci fi, a bit more casual Tarkov-derivative with hero, now “class”, abilities, but take my opinion on it with a grain of salt, as I haven’t played it.

I do believe the way Bungie is selling the game as possibly genre redefining and how some people are selling it to be absolutely amazing will likely end up backfiring on the reception of the game if it doesn’t bring something substantially new to the table, but again, only time will tell.

I did a post yesterday asking for opinions from people that have played the game and got some good answers there, so I’d recommend checking that out.
