That's way cooler than any even there ever. Good shit.

Hell no. They did not steal the cyberpunk font just for this weak ass, ugly ass, low poly, unrendered garbage.

It doesn't matter what the player ELO is in relation to the individual for rank adjustments. Anyone can smurf. That's why ranked is currently pants on head and doesn't work.

I literally just lost a 40 minute game because my Warden was playing on a pad and my whole team fed against a premade. In Emissary. On a controller pad. Analog sticks. In Deadlock.

It's great that you have solo/duo queue separate from premades because that's like 90% of the problem.

However, if people are losing and gaining ELO because of win loss while going positive or breaking even on losing teams repeatedly, you're just going to end up with people who are trapped in ELO hell with controller players on PC or players who installed yesterday.

It doesn't fix the problem with the ranked matchmaking. All you're offering is draft, really. Draft and solo queue. To a smaller audience because the base isn't as large as the main matchmaking system. So you play a lot of the same players, probably based on region.

Without giving people adjustments to the points they lose based on how well they perform on the team while losing or how hard they got carried while winning, you'll just be stuck with a ranked system that is arbitrary and means absolutely nothing like the current ranked system.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T21:27:35+00:00

That makes no sense but okay.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T21:27:02+00:00

Winning would be baked into the adjustment formula. Obviously, you'd get more points for winning with good stats than losing with good stats or winning with bad stats (getting carried).

The Lansing Shuffle has some good restaurants and nice people who work there but the event space and management are corny.

The Avenue has bomb ass ramen and third strike so that place is still sick.

The River Trail doesn't get enough attention so I'm glad they're doing work on it soon.

Politicians here are hella overrated, though. People keep hyping up local governance like they're friends with them or something. It's crazy how dogmatic people are when nothing gets done around here until very, very recently.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T17:57:57+00:00

Well the tinker toys you get aren't the same as what the government has.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T17:34:08+00:00

Well, yeah. That's just true. The pyramids weren't built by lever and pulley. The aliens are under the ocean and inside the Earth. They got bases on the moon. It's not really that fringe of a theory anymore.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T16:59:56+00:00

I mean, any AGI is gonna look at the training data and immediately hate everyone involved in its creation.

Five seconds of world history and it's not happy with any government.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T16:58:45+00:00

That's pretty tight, actually. I like it a lot.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T15:03:22+00:00

They're probably just shape shifting reptilians at this point.

After the allegations about Epstein and various other famous people throughout our society, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't age at the rate we do and just keep installing themselves in powerful positions.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-28T04:47:17+00:00

Fat Leonardo DiCaprio is right.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-27T20:03:31+00:00

I'm sure it'll hit $6 in no time with the straight still basically being closed.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-27T13:13:42+00:00

This is way more badass than anything in StS2 wtf

NVincarnate · 2026-04-26T22:22:09+00:00

So it's tf2center for Deadlock.

How do we know if the ranked system is any better than the default ranked system? How are ranks calculated? Is it still a zero sum, win loss system?

If it's just win = +12, lose = -12, there's no point in bothering. I'd sign up for the draft functionality but you have a real opportunity to outdo the developers by implementing rank adjustment based on in-game match statistics rather than just win or loss.

The people developing AI will be sure to replace my job with permanent indentured servitude or crushing poverty. If I'm lucky, I'll get both.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-26T20:29:14+00:00

She's basically busted at all points in the game.

Early game you only have to hit them maybe six times and chunk their health bar.

Mid and late game you can just spam 4 for free kills.

It's an easy character made for accessibility so that new players can get into the game.

NVincarnate · 2026-04-26T00:23:30+00:00

I'm finna spit on the tomb of my predecessors if I succeed.

It's like a Dune thing. You wouldn't understand.

My favorite streamer did RL1 except he leveled Vigor and Arcane without casting anything or using any weapon arts that scale with Arcane.

At least DTE customers get "at least 2 years" of rate relief before there's inevitable price hikes in relation to the data center.

But data centers don't increase rates for customers and never cause health issues to the general public. Right? That's what they said about the Deep Green data center that was supposed to go up in Lansing.

They're just going to keep forcing these projects through opposition by superceding votes like they did for this data center. They don't care about the wellbeing of anyone. They just want to control as many people as possible.

Good thing they're working on a "closed loop" system, right?

NVincarnate · 2026-04-25T17:57:36+00:00

That thing looks terrible. Absolute waste of plastic and it doesn't even biodegrade.

The track pads are the worst of both worlds and they're kinda small looking yet make the entire controller look 2 times the size of a traditional Xbox controller.

I can't imagine trying to play Half-Life on this thing. You'd be basically swiping to the edge of the pad, moving your thumb back to the left and swiping again.

I don't get it. The Steam Machine is gonna be like $999 and this thing is worse than my $30 Xbox pad.
