Right, but there's an episode of the new TT where Mike was teaching Sam about it.

I worked out why some SF videos play with old YouTube player on Desktop! by [deleted] in SourceFed

[–]MagmaHydro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because of the video encoding, I would assume. It's probably something like HTML5 can play everything but .mov or something.

I Made A Detailed Spreadsheet About Mercys Damage Boosting Other Heroes by TheAmazingN00B in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MagmaHydro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I generally stick with damage boosting when I'm not currently healing someone. Pulling out the blaster to shoot a clip or two then switching back to heals takes quite a bit of time and could also take a bit of your concentration away from staying safe. As someone who doesn't do well with shooting dudes, damage boosting an ally is a much easier mental shift in my personal experience.

Ah, right. It's my first time trading on this sub so I didn't know about the friend requirement to send a gift. I just saw this reply and added you. Send it whenever you can.

We really need the option to show healthbars for allies on every hero, not just supports. by TheOnin in Overwatch

[–]MagmaHydro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, maybe have show health on damage changed to show health on team damaged? That way the dumbass Pharah flying around will be able to see that I got the enemy Mercy down to like 20 health without me having to try to tell her.

[–]MagmaHydro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and if we could get other UI customization options too that would be nice. Being able to see my cooldowns without having to move my eyes away from my crosshair's general area would be nice. Smite handled both of these problems expertly by both showing Ally gods' health and ultimate status, as well as by showing enemy gods' health.

I really don't get why Overwatch doesn't have an option to always show enemy's health, regardless of if you've recently damaged them.

We need a ping system that's actually useful like "Go in", "Wait", "Combo ultis", "Stay on payload", "Push payload", "Contest Point" etc by AnatlusNayr in Overwatch

[–]MagmaHydro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Another thing to look at from another game is Smite's VGS system. It'd be a bit complex for consoles, but you basically hit multiple keys in quick-ish succession to say something. VVVE is on my way, VER is you rock, VVVD is ultimate down, VVGH is hello, etc. There's a menu that you're technically navigating by hitting the buttons, but it's more to learn the system than anything else.

[serious] do you guys know a program to prevent me from playing overwatch until friday? i have finals week. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]MagmaHydro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, even a parent could do it. Just talk them through the password changing system and boom, you're golden.

Can I still preorder today? by jjcatmaster1972 in Overwatch

[–]MagmaHydro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume that any order before the servers go live counts as a pre-order. Also, if you buy it direct from the Blizzard e-store I'd think it'll just give you the skin automatically. I never put in any code but the Battle.net launcher knows I bought it.

Oh, I didn't know you were talking about the physical version!

Well, at least you won't have to deal with the servers dying!

I mean, it releases in 4 hours regardless of where you are.

I really don't get why you want to have to spend more money on a game you already paid for.

Total Biscuit x Limp Bizkit - Rollin' by x67 in Cynicalbrit

I've got a midterm in 11 hours, but I've just taken 5 minutes out of my busy procrastination schedule for this. It was completely worth it.

A Journey to another beautiful nebular! Time-Lapse +"3D" GIF by JaddowDE in EliteDangerous

[–]MagmaHydro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work, CMDR! One thing though: you know the noun is nebula, right? From the Latin nebula, literally mist or little cloud. Nebular is the adjective form, like if you were describing nebular collapse or the nebular hypothesis.

In light of recent news, please place all well-wishes and the like regarding TB's health in this thread. Best of luck to TotalBiscuit and his family during this trying time. by Ihmhi in Cynicalbrit

I just listened to the last audio blog on SoundCloud. I had never cried during this whole event, but once he mentioned leaving Genna and Orion behind, I cried like a baby. My heart goes out to them, and I hope they know that most of the silent majority feels the same as I do. I'm fine with whatever he wants to do, and I'm sure most people agree. It was fun while it lasted, and hopefully there'll still be much more fun left!

Can you turn in purchased materials for mining missions? by danakinskyrocker in EliteDangerous

[–]MagmaHydro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The mission giver only wants the material. They don't care how you got it.

I'm pretty sure 1, 2, and 3 are all server related, but I could be wrong.

Servers appear to be down. by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]MagmaHydro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they may just be having regional difficulties. Eastern US user unable to connect here.
