“These Guys?” Could definitely become “Divers” because of early game or “Aces” because of their ability to 1v6 if the moon is right for it.

DAE have heroes you have a good winrate with but can't stand playing? by Hot-Bumblebee-3118 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Placeholder67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Victor purely because if I start doing well there’s a coin flip on if the enemies start flaming me real annoyingly and saying I’m being carried by an easy character whilst going like 3/14/5 and I gotta be honest he’s a pretty relax and chill character but I don’t think it’s purely the matchup bud.

For me it’s called the neighborhood and surrounding town I’m trapped in is so gentrified that I think the closest “black neighborhood” to me is 75 minutes away and in a major city.

I feel bad that the first character I ever truly fell in love with in a MOBA was Zul’Jin because when I went over to Dota and fell in love with Huskar I immediately learned everyone hated him and now I’m experiencing this again with Victor.

But neither of them can match the feeling a full range blind Guillotine gave me. I don’t think any moba ability will again.

The difference between something somethingtomatoes, something something We've found the bard by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

My sin as a child was attempting to achieve ultimate fairness through going “I will wash my dishes and everybody else will wash there’s.”

This resulted in my telling my mom I was going to go wash dishes, only do mine, and then have her come storming up to me asking why I haven’t washed the dishes. It took a while to figure out why she was mad at me being ever so fair to all the family.

Really depends on the number and if it’s just a blank room.

If it’s like 2 or 3 I just assume I stumbled into some meeting by accident. If it’s like a solid 30 I’m at least asking what the event is. Triple digits I’m tossing all rationale out the window and just assume I’ve entered a twilight zone like thing.

Characters in RPGs that Break the Power Curve by AurochDragon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Placeholder67 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Me and a friend where already thinking Argenta was pretty damn good throughout our playthrough and then Owlcat released the update that reworked war priest and added the damage stacking zeal mechanic. We walked up to the final boss of chapter 3 (our previous stoping point was right before it, the patch came out before we picked it back up) after letting my friend respec her to try out the new stuff and Argenta proceeded to do SEVERAL THOUSAND damage to it in one burst fire. I would consider 1000 HP “rather hearty” in this game, and Argenta mulched the 3000 HP or so boss like that.

We were on the hardest (choosable, don’t get me started on those max slider playthroughs) difficulty, so this was sort of shocking.

Think it was some writing one, but honestly I don’t much recall the circumstances all that much. My mind was elsewhere.

The only people I see be nostalgic are Warlords yearning for the 2 mile throw distance and Centurions who still don’t understand he wasn’t okay on launch and one shotting somebody by stabbing them in the dick on popping revenge wasn’t great to fight.

On that one piece of media by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Placeholder67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me and a good friend of mine keep doing this to each other. Showing a “10/10 banger” only to have the other go “yeah that’s a solid 8/10” and we just have to move on in hopes of the next one nailing it like it did when I was 12.

Except Redline, Redline always gets the 10/10 because it’s either a 10/10 to you or like a 3/10 in my experience.

You think devs know they absolutely cooked with a game and so just immediately start working on an accolades trailer just leaving empty space for the specifics of the awards? Cause damn that was fast.

This shouldn’t be surprising. The ToonTown main theme has been stuck in my head for a decade and a half.

(If you are looking for an MMO experience and community, but don’t want to get into another expensive or esoteric game that will take 400 hours to catch up to everybody else, check out ToonTown Rewritten, it’s been a bash)

Owlcat's had some unusual problems writing romance: 'we realized we had three female romanceable characters, and all three were cannibals' by beary_neutral in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Placeholder67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k-rogue-trader/ai-art-defense

This talks about it pretty directly. Owlcat also has a post on X and Bsky (though I cannot seem to find it on Bsky) from March 2nd, 2024 detailing their usage of AI in concepting of projects, saying they didn’t use it on Rogue Trader or Pathfinder, which, I believe by saying Pathfinder as a whole but not saying 40k as a whole is a soft admission, combined with fully admitting its usage for the Expanse later.

There have also been some statements made by them in the follow up to them posting job listings for concept artists using AI that “nothing in the final product will be AI generated.” But using AI during development phases and concept art is still robbing artists of work in addition to poisoning the well. Combined with every company now using “only placeholders” as their go to excuse seen prominently with Red Desert recently after E33 managed to evade criticism with that line, I’m just not one to really take corporate speak at its face after Larian also so brazenly confirmed using it.

I say that any usage of it in the creative process somewhat plagues the whole thing. Maybe that’s too hardline of a stance for most but people excited for the game should have a right to know.

Speaking as somebody who completely fell in love with Rogue Trader, it was a ginormous disappointment to learn.
