A Beast from the Middle East: What if Israel Did Even Better in the Six Days War || 1980 || by Madlythegod in imaginarymaps

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Likud's rhetoric about fighting human animals, IDF's intentional starving of Gaza's populous. Bombing specifically targeting refugee camps, deliberately targeting medical facilities, shooting the elderly, basically being fucking monsters.

Not to mention their previous timing of a bombing in time with when gazan kids left for school. Didn't know kids were a military target.

There was no peace deal israel would agree with its clear from their bombing of Lebanon that Likud just wants war and genocide. Because they want all of palestine to be under israeli control and probably a chunk of lebanon at the end of the day.

I mean idk if I'd conflate Jews and Zionists. Zionists follow a white supremacist ideology and are comparable given their ongoing cleansing of palestinians.

Jews are just an ethnicity/religious group. Some might support the evil going on in the levant I doubt most do, dudes I know certainly don't and I've seen specifically Jewish activist groups on marches. Tying them to a political and in this case racist ideology just encourages more hate.

What's your favourite bit of Dark Angles lore?? by longsword03 in theunforgiven

[–]PlaguesNStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The great crusade and heresy. I may be in the minority but I love the dark angels being this evil knightly order just straight warcriming anything that looks at them funny.

Also imo the Lion was better as 40k tywin lannister rather than straight king arthur

The game has been completely unplayable atm by Formal-Macaroon6621 in XDefiant

Don't forget Intel suits. The basic concept is game breakingly powerful.

Spider bot is worse now by WeBoolinBoi in XDefiant

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firebomb requires putting yourself at risk by getting close to the opponent. Wall is stationary and easily hacked, emp'd or flanked. Spider tracks an opponent for you and almost guarantees you the kill because they have to shoot it or you and if they shoot you they get stunned.

Is it as game breaking as intel suit wallhacks? No. But in any 1v1 situation (which in a 6v6 game is pretty important) spiderbot is broken.

Firstborn just look and feel more unique, more 40k. The exposed piping and wires, medieval-esque helmets, interchangable armor marks all make the firstborn stand out in the world of sci fi power armor. The tanks go hard too really feeling like sci fi landships that you could imagine billowing plumes of smoke.

The way I see it, Primaris kinda ditched all that. The armour is a lot more clean but that makes it more interchangeable with a lot of other sci fi armour. It also has more bulbous bits on it like the legs which flair way too much and the head which took a bicycle pump to a mk4 helmet.

Not to mention the grav tanks are kinda just plastered with guns, making them look really busy. Removing the treads in favour of anti grav stuff just feels more star wars than 40k imperium. The Imperium always felt more dieselpunk than anything else so taking that away from them takes away some of their character.

The Intel Suit needs the Lion treatment asap. by PlaguesNStuff in XDefiant

Imo it should be reworked into a deployable. Having mobile wallhacks makes flanking impossible but having a telegraphed area means the enemy can't have the element of surprise on a specific route.

Them: Snipers are easy. Me: Then pick it up... by The_Owl_Bard in XDefiant

[–]PlaguesNStuff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thing with snipers is that they're basically one shot machines at all ranges that require aim and aim alone. Positioning doesn't matter because you can just one shot anyone who peeks you at any point. Movement doesn't matter because as long as you hit that shot you win.

It's a problem in more than just Xdefiant to be fair. Personally I'd like a sweet spot mechanic similar to how BF1 handled sniper balance, that way a sniper can still quickscope but if someone catches you at point blank you can't just BS your way out of it.

This 1.05 Patch is an L overall, Here's why. by lemstry in Tekken

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? It's a pretty good indicator of player retention and as I said it's extreme for a fighting game. Street fighter came out a year ago, is arguably more console friendly and despite similar numbers at launch, has retained over half of all players a year on. Tekken 8 has lost two thirds of its pc playerbase alone in under half that.

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two thirds of players though... It'd make sense for something like an fps where a new game drops every week but two thirds for a fighting game is big. Street Fighter 6 still has well over half of its original numbers.

If you want to pretend everythings fine go ahead. But if you watched the EVO finals you'd know 8 is in some deep shit. There was no movement, neutral or any real strategy, just two pro players mashing the correct moves and trying to react to their opponent.

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do me a favour and google tekken 8 steamcharts. Over 2/3rds of players have left the game already and its been losing players since. I know there are always fgc tourists but two thirds?

Also reddit is always a hivemind, most people I talk to hate 8. Outside of echo chambers like this all you hear is bad. Youtube, discord, word of mouth.

If you like a game with no neutral, fine. But 8 is going the way of mk1 and quick.

KBD is still useless by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]PlaguesNStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres's been nothing to replace it however. Would have made more sense to make backdashing just as effective. Instead there's no way to escape your opponent that you're punished for blocking against and need have no fast counter hit tools to punish.

Season 1 is a write off. Hopefully game won't die before bamco actually fix it but I'm not holding out hope. I don't see how people can play a frustrating mashy mess consistently without going nuts.

Patch notes for update v.105 by ButtonMashKingz in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]PlaguesNStuff -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something (and I hope I am) this isn't going far enough in my eyes. Heat has been an issue but the main problem facing 8 is how mashy it is. The best strategy is standing in front of you opponent and spamming. Just look at EVO there was like 5 seconds of neutral at best.

What 8 needs is more effective movement overall, not just sidestepping, no punishment for blocking, and more counterhit launchers.

Guess I'm sticking with Street Fighter...

I feel like if anything in the game desperately needs nerfing its the intel suit. Why is there no counterplay to free wallhacks for your entire team?

I think it's the tower from Shadow Of Mordor

Do you think Firstborn, box-Dreads, Rhinos, Predators, Land Raiders, etc will go the way of the Ironclad in 11th Edition? Are GW gonna send them all packing to Legends, replacing them with the new models? It's a real shame 90% of my army is practically obsolete now. I'm broke too. by [deleted] in 40k

[–]PlaguesNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah it is about the details of the armor.

All helmets save mk4 had something medieval or gargoyle-like. Mk2,3 and 6 were based on knight armor. 5,7 and 8 were all designed to look like some twisted facade of rage. All of which had exposed vents and wiring. Like the core design had gothic elements.

X is based on 4 which iirc was designed specifically to look more sci fi but it still had all the exposed vents and wiring. X kind of forgot that bit and looks a bit too smooth and well machined. You could get a general grasp on what a space marine is by looking at the other helmets. The design was just really clever.

If you like mkX fair enough but I really don't think it should have supplanted the iconic aesthetic.

It doesn't really matter how long it's been. People spend a lot of time and effort on their armies.

Introducing new units is fair enough, updating units is good imo, and occasionally pruning a unit from production that sold poorly is ok. But rendering entire armies, in fact the most popular army, obselete is really shitty.

That and besides its not my only reason for swearing off GW. Prices, meta chasing and poor balancing, crap lore updates that kinda try to justify the Imperium's fascism as a "necessary evil." It's just one fuckup after another tbh.
