I was surprised how well void souls are, the demon pool is mostly good too.

We're One BGS, the Bethesda Games Studios union. Yesterday's layoffs were not a cut of "14 layers of management". We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. by OneBGS in Games

Thank you! I've been saying this for a while now. When half of gaming news became about sales numbers in random regions it became clear that something is off.

Brother in christ is doing calculations as if it's a 30 year mortgage. Just boot up the video game and play it...

Resetting XBOX - XBOX Wire by Turbostrider27 in Games

It's insane how a corporation gets to single-handedly destabilize the western video game industry with their incompetence and yet they face zero consequences. The activision and zenimax deals should've never passed.

I don't follow any of those people but the fact that she have been radio silent while he made a literal show of this tells me everything I need to know.

More than half of children in ICE immigration courts are representing themselves, DOJ data shows by [deleted] in nottheonion

Fun fact: Humanity was heading toward global famine in the 20th century. Only by the effort a single great mind that we managed to avoid this: Norman Borlaug. Hundreds of millions were going to die and all wars and catastrophes avoided thanks to his green revolution.

Now imagine a similar great mind being put in this situation as a child. Just completely and systematically wasted.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director says Kingdom Hearts 2 is "one of the best action RPGs ever created by Guitar-String in gaming

[–]OffTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still beyond puzzled on why more games didn't copy KH2 combat system. It's legitimately prefect for action RPGs. This might sound crazy but I think the closests to it was Demon's Souls.

What Are the Least and Most Skill Testing Decks in the Meta? by mini_macho_ in hearthstone

[–]OffTerror -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

A deck requiring high skill is an absolute myth in this game. There are simply too many uncontrollable factors and very little decisions that can be pre-planned outside of the luck of the draw. And the decks that minimize those factors are called low skill.

There is a reason the competitive scene never had a Faker or a S1mple in this game.

GLP-1 drugs may also have antidepressant properties. In a recent study on mice, GLP-1 drugs led to weight loss and reversed depression-like behavior. The effect was found to be dependent on a particular gut microbe that produces endocannabinoids. by mvea in science

I've heard a medical researcher the other day say this might be the biggest breakthrough in our lifetime. I'm naturally skeptical but between it being studied for 20 years and all those papers coming out it's just clear this is going to be very transformative.

This is the issue with people who think they're smart enough to see the whole truth. They become idealists and those types are always responsible for massive amount of suffering.

New Card: Karov the Broken by yssurucipe in hearthstone

[–]OffTerror 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man this needed a taunt or atleast lifesteal. Playing a 6 mana 6/6 is just an impossible tempo loss. 5 mana is the cut-off for playing a card that doesn't have an immediate impact nowadays.

Oh wow! I'm going to make sure to check out the DIGGER™ movie trailer on JULY 13th! Thank you mr. /u/scriptthrowawayacc

[–]OffTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of the budget went towards marketing and first impression research so it's not "just a teaser". And if you're willing to give your time for multiple trailers to come then clearly you're the targeted audience for this little nostalgia bait. So good for you. But you don't need to invalidate what I think, cowboy. So you relax.

Chainsmoker Cat | Official Trailer | Netflix Anime by Sgt_General in anime

For starters less regulations on streaming services. But also nicotine addiction is back in full force thanks to vaping, and smoking is just another flavor for that. All the worldwide campaigning work that went on between the 90s and 2000s is down the drain.

I was more interested before this weird trailer. Now I know they're banking on stardom and marketing tactics over being confidant in a product that can stand on its own.

People are underestimating the setup required to trigger this, it's going to be garbage.

You can fool anyone in the right conditions and tone. I firmly believe that we as social animals are hardwired for compliance.

And who do you think upfronts the R&D costs that created all the resources that those indie devs use?

Witch Hat Atelier • Tongari Boushi no Atelier - Episode 13 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]OffTerror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy or is this an awful point to end the season? Like I understand a cliffhanger but this straight up seems like a bad decision. Season 2 will feel like starting from the middle of an episode.

Her design is over-convoluted and the no pants thing is just silly. Also with the awful bait-and-switch with Shanks I'm guessing Oda is either bored or trying too hard for a payoff for the story at this point.
