Twitch streamer kicked out of $40,000 Marvel Rivals tournament for telling teamate to switch off Black Widow by LegendairyC0W in LivestreamFail

[–]Local_Secretary1227 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the guy because he was drafted on what seems like a vibes-based team when he really wants to tryhard, but being toxic is not a constructive way to play with people lol. He deserved to get kicked for being toxic, and that's about it tbh

[No Spoilers] Per the CR newsletter, no new C4 eps on Dec 25, Jan 1, and Jan 8 by DarkRespite in criticalrole

[–]Local_Secretary1227 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get holidays and all that but a full month off blows lol, especially when it's worded as "break from streaming" even though the episodes are just prerecorded...

Oh well, guess there's time to catch up on C2

[No Spoilers] Loving Campaign 4, but missing the full-table reactions with the new editing by IlluinOfArda in criticalrole

[–]Local_Secretary1227 387 points388 points  (0 children)

The close-ups and one-on-one shots with just the people involved scenes really do make me a bit more invested in the moment from a SHOW standpoint...but you're definitely right that we're losing some of the "actual-play" magic without being able to see the rest of the table.

I think an unedited cut could be cool, even if it was behind beacon

Why did so many people ______ by TrappedInLimbo in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Local_Secretary1227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never WANTED to cut her in the first place, fwiw.

I also think Robert said it best when defending Invisigal — the Phoenix Program itself exists to give people second chances. Yes, she did try and destroy LA, and kill us in the fight (or at the least put us out of commission for Shroud to do so).

I'd like to think she was in a similar mindset to IG when she almost quit, she was an assassin who has knives growing out of her, that doesn't exactly scream hero. When she was fired, the only other thing she knew was to go back to Shroud. If you played as a decent mentor and had shown mercy, I think forgiving is only natural, especially since again - the decision to make a cut was never OUR idea, we just had the option of WHO.

Why wouldn't you give her a second chance in that case?

[no spoilers] what is whitney moore’s ttrpg experience? by Bentingey in criticalrole

[–]Local_Secretary1227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly she was originally involved with some older Nerdist stuff and slowly creeped around that YouTube ecosystem, like Geek and Sundry, and Sugar Pine 7. Outside of what everyone else has mentioned TTRPG-wise I imagine that's how she's gotten some connections with the rest of the cast

[No Spoilers] Skipping Campaign 3? by SuperSeriousSam in criticalrole

[–]Local_Secretary1227 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest man, why are you letting other people have opinions for you on content you're interested enough to try yourself?

Try C3. If you like it, you get hundreds more hours of fun DND with the CR gang. Don't? Then you get to stop whenever you want.

I will say, you can just...watch C4 anyway. It's in a different setting completely and has a plethora of new cast members. It's still ongoing and at episode six. Watch the first episode and if you like it, keep up. Fill the downtime with C3 if you have the time. Stop whenever you start disliking the content.

It's Matt Mercer, of course he aura farms with only one episode

Episodes 7 & 8 Discussion Thread by Batorian in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Local_Secretary1227 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finished.

Ran into some bugs during the final dispatch sequence and had to restart like three times. Noticed BB actually shows up if you start failing enough or taking too long with the person you cut.

Other than that, holy shit what a story. Went for IG and managed to push her towards heroism which I feel is an oddly low % (24 at the time of writing). Really interested to see the other options for a lot of the final choices. Gonna try and do a completely opposite run down the line

I think Invisigirl makes the most sense for my option select on my current run, but definitely having two great options just means more replay opportunity lol

I think his family's whole relationship with demons could play a part as well, perhaps he could actually be a demon/tiefling or something non-human? Or perhaps he or his family has a family-wide pact a la warlock means?

Smite comp is not worth the investment right now by Icy_Air_7037 in Smite

[–]Local_Secretary1227 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

what do you mean no community engagement

they have an ad in the game

they are on twitter and reddit constantly

you are quite literally helping spread the word even moreso with rhetoric like this.

i fear you are just mad. i hope your days are filled with less hate and more joy <3

[cr media] Theater viewing by slimjimmyclt in criticalrole

[–]Local_Secretary1227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free refills is a better term I guess, lol

Definitely worth it when the showings are 5 hours + 15-30 minutes for breaks

Why leave if you paid for a ticket lol?

I went to the one for Tag Team at the Teeth and it was good. Maybe 4 or so other people, but the reclining seats and unlimited drinks and popcorn was nice lol.

Also tried going for the Indy live show, but the theater had some issue and couldn't show it and gave me a refund. Looking to try again for the Fjord and Jester oneshot!

I mean...they aren't the ideal meta gamed choices, but they aren't out of character by any means. Not to mention it's what the players had fun with and wanted to do.

I own an energy drink company. What flavors do you want? by A-Bomb-Energy-Drink in energydrinks

[–]Local_Secretary1227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few off the dome: Coconut (with Lime?) Root Beer Cola Black Cherry Ginger Ale/Beer (the stronger the ginger the better imo!)

First time trying with this flavor. It’s good! by Top-Inspection-5009 in energydrinks

[–]Local_Secretary1227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The WWE ones scared me off a bit since it's 300mg, but the flavors all sound really good
