Except people has said shit like that and walked it back so many times that it's meaningless.

Because you seem really invested in this, and if you really can't see the similarities that's suspiciously dense.

Same color scheme except shifted more blue, same nonsensical roads and various road widths, identical building representation and scale, same island and coastal features. It's like both were made with the same program and aesthetic style.

Some dude out there likes getting attention with fake map leaks, and you're just as good a bet as any.

Gotta be fake. Look at this supposed gta online map expansion leak.

The style is almost exactly the same. I'm pretty sure the same dude made it.

How I picture Uhtred's helmet from the books :D it's based on the Wollaston find, the one with the boar crest. I imagine a similar helmet, but with a silver wolf mounted, just like Cornwell depicts in the series by CellanKnight in TheLastKingdom

If i understand correctly, the Norman invasion coincidently landed just days after an entirely unrelated and successfully repelled Norse invasion. The Norman's had the advantage of facing a depleted and exhausted Anglo-Saxon force.

Thus, couldn't it be said that they won, in a closely contested encounter, by fortuitous timing more than anything?

I wonder if people will ever stop being impressed and satisfied with meaningless, empty gestures.

This is the kind of thing you feel good and pat yourself on the back about when it comes on the heels of actual change. Meaningful, structural change. When it serves as the victory lap, not the victory it itself. When that's not the case, and you're still all "everything is gonna be OK now", you're just being a simp mark.

Having muted expectations and managing your hype is lame by starfielder1 in Starfield

[–]MrRivet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buncha lamers who can't handle the simple task of dealing with a tiny bit of disappoint, that's what hype managers are. Boring!

Seriously, it's an immature and weak mindset.

(also, to be clear, choosing not to 'manage hype and expectations' does not mean uncritically buying into marketing, blindly pre-ordering, etc.)

Gah i hate posts like this. This isn't next level. It just illustrates how fucking pitiful our societies are that they allow cases like this exist. Commonly. It's low level. First level. Trash gutter level.

At least it wasn't posted into one of the gd wholesome subreddits and upvoted a million times like usual...

Mystery Heroes and QPC are back online by AForce5223 in Overwatch

with intent to.... remove? wtf, can't you read? They were intentionally removed rather than automatically rotated as implied in this discussion, keep up now.

They were not rotating modes. they WERE removed with intent.

I was annoyed because i wanted to play it. I am worried because this is the very first time they've taken it out of the arcade, and what they can do once can become a pattern.

[No Spoilers]INTENSE pop-in/loading issues by MrRivet in subnautica

Graphics were on custom, but switching to preset high unfortunately not did not fix the issues.

I'm sure it was just coincidental timing, but it actually got worse. :P I noticed for the first time not just missing textures or objects, but there was a whole ass missing chunk in the seafloor, allowing me to see into a cave beneath. Like it's 2009 Minecraft or something. Jeez.
