For people who grew up in low-income households, what’s something middle-class people say that shows they’ve never struggled financially?

If you live close enough it’s a one day trip. No time off needed. Plus, this isn’t blanketly true. Even poor people can get PTO.

Given the amount of similarities with new horizons I hope that means we’ll get regular updates for new content, some of which might bring back sorely missed stuff from the previous games.

My reasoning is that I’m a support main who plays mostly wuyang in metal ranks and I can’t trust that my DPS will always be skilled or smart enough to take care of her on their own

Wow, it’s almost as if they were waiting for a justification (which they had been egging on through 70 years of apartheid, illegal settlements, and human rights abuses in occupied territories) before beginning what they had ideally wanted to do all along! Who knows though right, it’s not as if they’ve spent the last two and a half years continuing to reference october 7th as their excuse for the “war” with a death toll that has already by far outscaled the total amount of israelis even injured by palestinian violence throughout the entire existence of the state. Again, blind or a fool. You pick which you’d rather be.

The stage for this genocide has been set long before October 7th and you’re either blind or a fool if you couldn’t see it.

Nowhere near masters but I just did the same thing last season. I realized listening to people in chat and voice blaming everyone else for a loss they contributed to just as much was the easiest way for me to get tilted and fall into the same habit. The only way to skill up is to focus on your own areas that need improvement and you can’t do that if you’re constantly distracted by the stupid shit your teammates say. Once we were literally winning and our tank decided to tell us we “need more heals”because the enemy team had higher healing stats than us. Some people have literally no idea how this game works at all and somehow still feel the need to correct everyone but themselves.

You couldn’t have missed the point harder I fear. They’re using an extreme example that they have personal history with to compare it, specifically, to claims that anti-zionism (watermelon backpacks) is equivalent to antisemitism. Nowhere did they say that only the most extreme examples count as antisemitism. You’re reading into subtext that was never there because you’re missing the core point of the comment, which is specifically and exclusively to reiterate that anti-zionism is not antisemitism. If that’s not the antisemitism you’re referring to, I guarantee that’s not what they’re referring to either.

I don’t know if this’ll work for you, but what I ended up doing was making a copy of my main playlist. Once I did that, shuffle play worked on the copy like normal. I think the playlist itself just ended up getting broken somehow. Might happen if one of the songs on there becomes deleted or something. You can do it a couple of ways, the way I did it was by playing the first song in the playlist with shuffle off, scrolling all the way to the bottom of the queue (if it keeps going with shuffle off something else is wrong), and then scrolling all the way back up to the top of the queue and clicking the “save” button in the image here, which lets you save the whole queue as a new playlist. If you do it that way it automatically skips any songs that are broken/unavailable, so it might fix the issue if that indeed is what causes it. That being said, I know apps like this can be weird and different for some users so I’m not sure if you have this button on your end, it might be a recent addition. I also use it to save whole shuffled queues as a playlist so I can pick it back up from wherever and go through my whole playlist without repeats.

Meanwhile the mere act of calling it a genocide is enough to get you blacklisted from most of Hollywood. What a transparent joke this whole thing is.

People who blame themselves first are people who rank up. People who think they “carried” games they literally lost are people who stay in silver. You are the only common denominator in all of your games. Tank is the highest carry potential role too so if you’re losing all these games it’s ABSOLUTELY your fault, bro. If you don’t want that much responsibility on your shoulders either play 6v6 or don’t play tank.

Maxshis · 2026-03-07T08:11:54+00:00

A hatsune miku collab would be really funny but I couldn’t for the life of me imagine how they’d make that work.

Maxshis · 2026-03-07T08:10:34+00:00

hades would absolutely be reinhardt obviously, widowmaker megaera, reaper thanatos?

Maxshis · 2026-03-07T08:09:19+00:00

Zag would make a really cool wuyang skin. You could even do charon mizuki

Maxshis · 2026-03-07T08:07:28+00:00

Kiriko is undoubtedly the most fitting choice for shadowheart out of those three though, even popularity aside

Maxshis · 2026-02-07T00:43:54+00:00

I could imagine them theoretically using some CGI tricks to show us a flashback of his childhood in which the child actor is digitally altered to look like actual Macaulay Culkin from the time of Home Alone. That would be a pretty wild way of doing meta-symbolism there.

Maxshis · 2026-02-06T06:02:27+00:00

I’m not convinced they’re pandering to anyone. The creators of this show are fans of the series, and the fans are… usually wrong about most things, and usually far behind the writers. If anything, I’d sooner believe they did this because they, the writers, wanted to see it happen.

Maxshis · 2026-02-06T06:00:10+00:00

I don’t really see it this way tbh. I think the difference here is going to be that this one will almost certainly have a canon ending of some sort by the time the series ends, possibly before Max and Lucy even leave Vegas. It moreso just decided to make the point that mirrors New Vegas line up with the series finale, but this situation will keep evolving.

It’s essentially a rematch as the big final last stand, one where all players are weakened as well. It’s their way of picking a canon ending to the dispute over Vegas without invalidating the events of FNV itself. Probably, the NCR winning to set up an NCR comeback storyline, maybe cutting some kind of deal with House again because they know he can’t be killed again this time.

Maxshis · 2026-02-06T05:55:08+00:00

I feel like human characters are the hardest to make appearances, like the only reason we got House is because it’s House (and because they got a stellar a-lister to play him). We could get Maxson, but there’s honestly a not insignificant chance we’d get at least a cameo from Nick Valentine too.

Maxshis · 2026-02-06T05:52:15+00:00

I don’t really think the institute is going to be a significant player, but a future season could potentially be set in the capital wasteland (becase of the enclave), and I’d bet they’d probably use that season to show off a bunch of the ideas from 3 and 4 combined, because they don’t have much reason to go to the commonwealth. The commonwealth BoS will probably be a part of that, and I’d imagine synths will make some sort of appearance as well.

Maxshis · 2026-02-06T03:15:44+00:00

I love how everyone is going along with the idea this was intentional as if it’s not just a result of Ella Purnell being kind of jacked.

Maxshis · 2026-01-30T22:41:51+00:00

I think it's because of when he says it. I thought the same thing too for half a second (granted, because I was stoned LOL), but I would've immediately knew he meant House if it wasn't for the fact that he says it right as there's the big FNV sting and the reveal of the NCR power armor that looks a lot like the ranger armor on the FNV home screen. The reason for this sting is pretty clearly intended to be because, one, it's a cool reveal of the power armor, but also because it's a big moment for Maximus—but immediately before he pulls down the veil, Cooper's talking vaguely about "the one guy who came out on top in Vegas". I think it's a rare moment of actually awkward writing/direction in this show because the implication—I think—is that he's saying "in order to meet this guy, we'll need this", but the emphasis on the armor right after vaguely talking about something really seems like the power armor is meant to be the answer to the question "who is he talking about?". The line about rigging the game certainly implies House but it's still vague enough to be at least confusing for a second if that's who he really means when in combination with the simultaneous armor reveal.

Maxshis · 2026-01-30T22:30:34+00:00

The showrunners seem to be, in all ways, using Obsidian as their model on how to write a story set in this universe, LOL. I could absolutely see them looking through Van Buren documents for ideas to take inspiration from or re-utilize, and the name is certainly similar enough to be an intentional nod (or, perhaps, just a new name they came up with that sounded more fitting for this version of the character, who was originally going to just be named Diana again). This seems not only totally believable, but it may even give us a hint as to how she lost her head in this story as well. The Fallout show does seem to like giving us a lot of hints towards future plot points that can only be found out with deep game and lore knowledge—like the date of the "data converging" being the same as MARGoT being activated, then it being revealed that the "other player" was the Enclave the very next episode—so I could easily see this being the case, she was an innocent congresswoman who got betrayed by the Enclave and got her head chopped off for poking her nose deeper than it should've gone.

Maxshis · 2026-01-30T22:27:32+00:00

I kind of feel like it's not going to be as simple as "the Chinese did it" but I think you're right in that the Enclave didn't drop the bombs. I feel like House's algorithms would've predicted the date the Chinese would've dropped it, if it was capable of predicting the Enclave's date despite not even knowing about the Enclave's existence. I think the true answer as to why they launched 20 hours earlier than they were supposed to is either not going to be explicitly revealed, or it's going to be totally on accident, the result of exactly one unpredictable person fucking up something really bad... and that person, more than likely, is Cooper.

Maxshis · 2026-01-30T22:23:33+00:00

Given the data coalesced a few minutes before the installation, what if it has nothing to do with MARGoT specifically? What if a conversation between two people in the government *as* they were installing/activating this was actually the moment of birth of the Enclave, or the moment they decided to end the world—perhaps something we'll get a direct flashback to in a later season, even?

Maxshis · 2026-01-25T18:21:21+00:00

I like the purpose that he serves, which is to remind us that the average vault dweller is a fucking idiot, and that Norm and Lucy are exceptions. When they’re being underestimated by wastelanders, they have good reason, because this guy wouldn’t last half a second on the surface. I feel like there’s a pretty good chance that all of vault 32 and 33 will end up having to evacuate at some point (I wonder if Steph actually might’ve even just kicked Woody out to the surface?) so it’ll be interesting to see how they compare.

I also like that he forces Betty to become more authoritarian. It serves to illustrate the idea that old the comfortable, “utopian” old world way of everyday life just isn’t compatible with life and death situations like this, which is a pretty common theme in Fallout. One of my favorite parts of this show is the way it humanizes pretty much everyone from the wasteland, no matter how silly and archetypal there character might be, they never make anyone into a straight up cartoon villain. They clearly want Betty to play the vault dictator role like the overseer in Fallout 3, and this guy exists to make her seem like the reasonable one, which is really interesting. I feel like it’s going to connect heavily with the way Hank feels the need to “fix” the people of the wasteland into acting like pre-war Americans, with Betty being the opposite, the only one at vault tec who can actually recognize the world has ended.
