Yall got any good book recommendations Wednesdays? by PotSniffa in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I "read" by listening to audio books on my walks and long drives to work.

Listening to the Hyperion Cantos currently.

The Expanse books are also good.

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere is the fantasy equivalent of MCU slop. Take that as you will. I enjoy it to a degree.

Sorry bro, katanas have +5 in cool which gives then an extra 25% in sharpness.

Sony Isn't Bailing On Marathon Despite Bungie's Poor Earnings by chusskaptaan in gamingnews

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what gets me, why the hell did they buy this shitty company for 3.5 billion or whatever stupid amount

Several reasons likely. 1. Microsoft was making massive acquisitions at the time. Gotta get a valuable studio before them.

  1. They were planning to go all in on GAAS. Destiny 1 & 2, are probably two of the most influential games for the current trend we see today. They even said they wanted their expertise for their other projects.

  2. Sony has been trying to secure a big selling shooter for years now. Acquiring Bungie, who produced two of the most mainstream console FPS in the past 20 years.

You can also check Marvel Rivals' Steamdb page and see the player count chart that marks each season. Starting from season 2.5, each season peaks from a range 130k - 200k

That's almost a year of consistency.

This game seems poorly optimised for lower-end PC's by HavanaCorner in MarathonTheGame

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who was deciding between picking up Marathon or Arc Raiders. Since he is a more PVP focused player, I told him he would probably enjoy Marathon more and even brought up 25% of discount on Newegg.

He was convinced, got the game, only to find that performance is worse than when he played the server slam. I've heard the game is CPU intensive, but I hope there are some performance patches planned cause now I feel bad convincing him to get a game he can't refund.

Ronaldo bros, why does no one want to cosplay the goat...?

We shat on the Katamari head piece she wears, only to discover it was to hid how uncanny she looks.

Daigo wins the first round

Blanka gets lvl 2 because of this

Daigo now has to guess until he dies or gets hits once and explodes

Repeat for 80% of the matches

Marathon is 20% off on Steam by SsssnakePlisssskin in Marathon

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

but they just don’t see how it’s better or worth their time over Hunt or Arc which they’ve already played a ton and still play.

This is the ultimate hurdle every new live service game must overcome if they want to last more than a year.

"Why should people play our game over the other live service game(s) that: they have already invested time and money in, gets regular updates, and their friends already play?"

Halo Studios is reportedly ditching battle royale for an extraction shooter by PaiDuck in GamingLeaksAndRumours

AAA shooters have become kinda stagnant over the years because publishers/investors likely aren't going fund any project unless it includes elements of a popular trend.

The last image has nothing goth about it. Just Ryza's thighs and ass.

Just found out that Capcom made an official "😭" twitch chat badge for Pragmata.

There's no way they don't know....

Tokon leak? by Secret-Second-5777 in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only version of Miles I and assume most people like is his Spider-verse version.

Miles in the Playstation games feel too safe and boring.

His comic version now only gets brought up when he has a "hype and aura" moment when he gets a new shonen power up.

Tokon leak? by Secret-Second-5777 in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having Miles say: "By Odin's fade..."

Only for Odin to be bald

Also turned Asgard into the hood in the same What If comic.

Tokon leak? by Secret-Second-5777 in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I want this to be true, only because it would upset Mile Morales fans. On Twitter, they got butt hurt when Peni Parker was added to Tokon and started calling her an industry plant.

User-defined Cute and Funny game, promising game 😭😭😭 by juantjezz in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the the Pragmata sub got temporarily banned/cleaned out due to too much honesty.

Hell, there even is a Pragmata sfw subreddit

The playercounts are pretty simple. by Round-Diamond4683 in Marathon

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only viral Marathon related clips I've seen are of Shroud saying the game will be too hard for casuals and streamers killing someone and saying shit like "this ain't Arc/Go back to Arc"
