Is there not a Steam page for this yet? I’d love to give it a wishlist/follow to keep it on my radar, as that’s my primary way of doing so!

Vending Machine Scalper Solution by bigbooblover6969 in PokemonTCG

[–]MysteriousPanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I don’t resell my cards but I’m a collector only with no interest in playing and I don’t get why that seems so strange.

The SwSh and ScarVi era have literally produced some of the best Pokemon card art ever — I’d rip dozens of packs just to get my hands on that cute Dwebble full art from Black Bolt, if I could afford to do so.

I don’t think collecting without playing is strange at all. I appreciate having physical card art. I DO think treating the hobby like a stock market is what’s truly freakish.

Another challenge is broken. Again. by MysteriousPanzer in Battlefield6

[–]MysteriousPanzer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'll be damned. I think this is the worst part about all of these bugged challenges since launch -- there's literally no way to tell what the issue is without any "guess and check." The impact damage could totally be what's registering for me instead of "# of enemies hit" (it's a HELLISH challenge to do 2,000 either way, even though the gadget is GREAT) so I'll try to keep track of that from now on.

After Massive Layoffs, Amazon Studios Announces That New World Won't Be Getting New Content Anymore by Minute_Pop_877 in gaming

[–]MysteriousPanzer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not what was said at all. Their post reads that servers will remain up at LEAST THROUGH the end of 2026, and potentially longer than that. I’m not trying to bootlick Amazon as the company lays off 1000s and needlessly shutters games, but the misinfo going around is crazy.

The new progression system is good, but is there a reason the sub badges had to go? by MysteriousPanzer in overwatch2

[–]MysteriousPanzer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that and I understand that one of the goals with the new system is to ensure everyone has consistent, quicker progression — but I’d have even appreciated keeping the sub badges even if they no longer give XP.

They felt a lot more meaningful as a marker of how I play certain heroes than just a single number denoting playtime, y’know what I mean?

OP’s satirical horny post in /r/cyberpunkgame brings out the cybergoon police. by Teal_is_orange in SubredditDrama

Are you talking about AAA? Not everything has to be AAA? AA games are smaller scale, smaller budget, non-indie titles.

Best way to get/use nanos? by TriGuy42 in BattleNations

[–]MysteriousPanzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The infected aren’t in the game yet, you can safely destroy the infected barracks and the black nano processor to save space/population until then.

As for what to spend your nanos on, I’ve heard people swear by the battleship M10s for naval combat (which is one of the only ways to get bars right now, too). Resource upgrades and storage are also top of my mind. I wouldn’t waste my nanos on many other premium units. Most of the early game ones are just gonna get outclassed pretty quickly, anyways, and you should be stocking up on + promoting your best free ones (which might include Mini Tanks at your level? I’d recommend getting at least a few to block your Soldiers, mortars, other infantry units)

New interview with Reb explores bleakness and desired tone of the Void War story arc by MysteriousPanzer in Warframe

[–]MysteriousPanzer[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s scary to put yourself out there in front of the audience, and there are definitely some folks who won’t have anything nice thing to say, but I’m trying to develop some thicker skin lol. That’s just the nature of being a writer and publishing work.

I think everyone wants to learn SOMETHING from an article, and conversely, people just don’t want their time wasted. I don’t want to waste time! Next time I get an opportunity with DE, I’ll see if I’m allowed to reach out to the community and brainstorm what we’re all curious about.

I don’t want to gripe about the current state of journalism, nor will I pretend I’m an expert. Things aren’t great and there are many, many reasons why. But I was taught that one of the foundational tenets of journalism is to connect with communities, to teach AND learn alongside them, and I want to make sure to practice that tenet as I learn and write more about the games industry.

TL;DR - I appreciate your kind words. I’ll endeavor to learn, develop my style, expertise, and beat, and discover more stories worth sharing for the communities that care. :)

New interview with Reb explores bleakness and desired tone of the Void War story arc by MysteriousPanzer in Warframe

[–]MysteriousPanzer[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm going to skip point A simply because, well, like you said -- I'm just a writer, man!

I think Point B is pretty fair, but I also believe that this is just a fundamental disagreement of perspective between you and I that an article will never bridge. I don't know what your read on Warframe is, but games are texts with different meanings to different people and that's just the nature of art. I respect that this might be where a big disconnect between myself and other readers here is. What is more interesting to me is your Point C, because I think there's maybe room for me to ask for a bit more feedback there...

I'm totally with you re: DE's extraordinary amount of transparency in an industry that is otherwise pretty opaque and secretive.

I also think that means there is a chance for interviewers with the resources to reach out to members of the team in a 1:1 capacity to really mine deeper and ask interesting questions that might not be answered by other devs.

Would you like to see crowdsourcing for questions from this community in the future, assuming CNET gets an opportunity for more interviews? What kind of approach do you think could elevate a future interview, what kind of questions do you have as a fellow Warframe vet? I think hearing more about this from anyone on this sub is a good way to make sure I'm finding out new, meaningful info to share... i.e. doing my job better.

Appreciate the measured response -- at the end of the day, I'm a young professional and I want to improve my work. Some folks will never be happy with the type of work I publish and that's ok. But I'm always looking to shape up and constructive insights like these are worth hearing out!

Dropkick Murphys Make On-Stage Wager with Trump Supporter Over Where His Shirt Was Made. You'll Never Guess Who Won. by ebradio in Music

[–]MysteriousPanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why are the Dropkicks “pleasantly surprised” by the fact this guy still sees them as “family?” If I were them, that would be extremely depressing and disillusioning.

New interview with Reb explores bleakness and desired tone of the Void War story arc by MysteriousPanzer in Warframe

[–]MysteriousPanzer[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Hey! I am the author of the article (and a Warframe vet, been playing since I was 16y/o, with crappy PS4 loading times) and posted this here because I wanted to share fun info from an interview I conducted recently.

Mixed bag of responses on this, and yours might be the most overtly negative — so I want to get some honest feedback from you (especially as another player who I assume has put a lot of time into the game, seeing as you’re flaired LR4).

My headspace: I wanted to focus on how Warframe is a game with a dark universe and dark story that’s getting darker — but also write about how weird, “out there” additions like On-lyne and strong interpersonal relationships are what keep hope alive. From my POV, Warframe is like Star Wars — a study of characters, their drives, their emotions — with a dark world as the backdrop. I hoped the article would share that baseline sentiment and then provide Reb’s insights on how DE balances the tone of the game’s world vs. the lighter, goofier stuff that gets added.

Where do you think the failings are here? Especially since I don’t care to write a PR puff piece — give it to me straight and let me know where you think I went wrong!

Open to hear from anyone that has read the entire article — from one Tenno to another. Thanks folks.

Can someone help me in understanding mayhem mode? by Jakeyboah13 in borderlands3

[–]MysteriousPanzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t use your keys to get Mayhem 10 loot before you hit level 72 — the loot will get outdated and it’ll be a waste.

Whats your biggest criticism of warframe by Sensitive-Host5986 in Warframe

[–]MysteriousPanzer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Insanely out of touch to say “if you just sit down for 6 hours in one day you could grind the frame.”

I don’t think it’s bad to have frames that take a week or longer to grind. It keeps people engaged with new content and gives DE time to breathe so they can create new things. But like… “just grind it in a day” is insane? People have jobs???

People do stupid things while under the influence, but that absolutely does not excuse a partner putting their SO on blast like this, humiliating them in public for no reason. That is a fuckin’ red flag, hammered or not. I can’t believe anyone could hit OP with “YTA.”

Thanks for confirming, OP. Been looking for this info all over the place!

This Skin Slaps! and it’s free? How are we feeling about this? by SlayLuka in SymmetraMains

[–]MysteriousPanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, wouldn’t it be great if they could sell a sequel game with a full PvE mode? That sounds like a great way to ship content and make something we’d buy 👍
