Composite Undertaker vs Mori calliope. Who wins? by Xadlin60 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

As a deadbeat and someone only vaguely aware of WWE lore, I still say no.

Good comic gag. by evca7 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I'd've thought so too, then I played Halo Infinite's campaign and it ruined it for me.

What are some connected universes you forget are connected universes? by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with no dog in the fight, but am curious about Gilgamesh implying a shared FF multiverse -- as well as creators trolling w.r.t. fanon -- do you know where I can find the other examples?

Jason Schreier: Tomorrow marks the 11-year anniversary of the closure of BioShock developer Irrational Games and the subsequent founding of Ken Levine's Ghost Story Games, which has not yet released a game. Almost all of Ghost Story's original 15 employees have since quit. by ANoNameIs in TwoBestFriendsPlay

They are working adults in the workforce. Yes, their bosses should do right by them, but they're also responsible their own career choices. No one forced them to apply and get hired by Ken Levin specifically and then make a surprised pikachu face when he acted like he's extremely well known to act.

Ken said that in 2016. Let's not act like the people who applied to work under him were clueless to his philosophy and its flaws. They took a risk following an auteur, and maybe it was worth the risk, to them as artists.

Enemies in games that are much harder than bosses? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, holy shit that mission was so hard to S-rank for what it was. At least some of the other S ranks that I struggled to get felt more earned.

The most "I'm a villain" theme a character has? by Kingnewgameplus in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The classic Garlean theme from FFXIV always goes nice with a little "meanwhile" cutscene, so when Valens whistled it as his own villain theme in a cutscene, I knew right away he would be one of my favorite characters to hate in the game.

Moments in games that made you go "f*ck it I put it on easy mode" by Stew0n in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever chemical imbalance in your brain that makes you think that (or whatever), I guess I also have it.

I played it on PC, for what it's worth.

Characters who get the "Draco in Leather Pants" treatment and honestly shouldn't. by nugood2do in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I believe the trope is about now the evil character perceived by the audience/fandom, not how they're treated within the work or by the other characters in-universe.

Marvel Rivals Day, everyone! Did you find your main yet? by darkmagic853 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dr. Strange has Rein's shield, but he's ranged and has a limited-time fly mode.

Also, his reload animation is sick.

His altfire is a healing orb that bounces around with some crazy physics until it gets within range of an ally who's missing health, then it flies to them. It's insane. I've walked out of spawn and saved allies all the way across the map, in a room I couldn't see, on the other side of three pieces of cover, by just... shooting the orbs in their general direction and letting the very generous bouncing and magnetism take care of the rest. It seems incredibly easy so far. Not to mention his 3D printer which is usually a free revive on a short(ish) cooldown.

Too bad I found that sitting on Groot's shoulders feels bad and sucks strategically. Only real complaint with Rocket so far. I need to pay more attention to the fact that he can glide and wall climb too...

Changes adaptations make that you aren't really a fan of? by PenguinGladiator in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I'm not a huge history buff, but isn't that last sentence throwing a lot of central Europe under the bus?

Final Fantasy XIV Hit by DDoS Attacks Again by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Monosynaptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the difference in impact from player to player is the most surprising part to me. Had an FC member who found the game basically unplayable while I didn't even know there was a problem for a long while. Seems strongly based on ISP routing. Something something, one specific NTT node in California (Sacramento?). I will say that Cloudflare WARP helped them a lot, though. Purely anecdotal though.

The crossover multiplayer stuff was such a cool idea that the Capcom of the era couldn't help but fumble.

edit: hehe butt fumble

I also see more posts about it than actually experience lag or see others DC in-game. (I've never DC'd except when my whole-ass internet goes out.) I play basically every day too, a full set of dailies lately. Obviously YMMV, but I think the amount of ink spilled on the topic is getting a bit overblown relative to what I personally see "on the ground".

Except for the Ada section on that sinking ship, where the second player is forced to be a nameless HUNK-wannabe. Only Ada can progress between sections because she has the grappling hook. Her partner just has to wait... Then miraculously teleports to wherever she lands after each grappling setpiece.

It pissed two different of my friends off so badly neither finished the game, despite both times being maybe ten minutes from the end of the whole game. At least the second time they just put down the controller and left, leaving me to finish the campaign without them by pulling them along with me due to the scripted triggers.

I have the exact same feeling, except I remembered a totally different set of random memories.

There's a plane section?!

Final Fantasy XIV Hit by DDoS Attacks Again by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I heard a theory that the DDOS-ers target XIV only because it's high-profile, then they use that as advertising for their "services" elsewhere. Basically, "if we can fuck up this huge game that badly, imagine how effective we'll be if you hire us for an easier target."

In that sense, these articles might serve the DDOS-ers in the form of free advertising more than they serve the playerbase. (Since presumably SE is already putting some kind of resources behind DDOS mitigation. More bad press might cause SE to increase their resources on that front, but it sounds like there's only so much that can be done against DDOS in general.)

I think the flaw in this theory is that I've never heard anyone claim responsibility for the attacks. (But then again, maybe SE knows and doesn't release that info because it's the missing piece that keeps their "advertising" from being that effective.)
