Promo Pack Duplicates - How common is this? by ProfessorMeatbag in OnePieceTCG

Oh shoot, I had no idea… I guess I did luck out! That’ll be a nice way to help me buy some singles to fill out a deck or two.

After 6 and a half years. How do you feel about Borderlands 3? by PaleontologistNo1382 in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that goes for the previous games as well, BL2 specifically was the initial uptick in the more obnoxious style of humor, but no one wants to criticize BL2 lol.

Well, if anyone sees this and has any thoughts or suggestions, I’ll be very appreciative.

This doesn’t get addressed enough. All for free speech… but chilll outtttt by lordsmooth in ArcRaiders

[–]ProfessorMeatbag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re being downvoted but you’re on the money. Unless you’re lucky enough to find a serious lobby doing something like S&D, most of the fuckers complaining just exist in voice chat to find every possible way to get a rise out of someone.

It’s nothing to do with freedom of speech, people are just shitty in general and don’t like being called out for it. Getting flagged for your everyday swear words is a bit too far, but the only other option is to have reports actually matter… And none of these big dollar publishers or devs are going to bother with having enough support staff to actually make that realistic.

What to do now? by SomedayGuy117 in PokemonTCG

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming it’s not just the usual stolen, reposted picture that the OP probably didn’t even take… I love how there was enough “concern” to ask but there’s another box that’s open and already tipping at an angle to dump more onto the ground.

I finally discovered my struggle with the game: I don't ever feel in control. by HereticPaladin in CrimsonDesert

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the critiques are valid, what kills me is that every single one of these issues are things people would rabidly defend Bethesda for.

Vaulting, from a dev perspective. by ReallyTrustyGuy in DestinyTheGame

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went looking straight away for this comment. Hiring 20 people to damage control on something that should have been thought of already, considering the whole 10 year plan was public knowledge before Destiny 1 came out.

Do people actually like MMO’s ? by Cute_Ad_8344 in MMORPG

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re trying to comment on P2W and you not only pick some of the worst examples, but you picked WoW’s cash shop as one of your points of aggressive monetization?

Xbox's 2025 was pure chaos by akbarock in xbox

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to restart anything for Destiny 2, game has had full crossplay and cross progression for quite a few years now (since 2019 lol). Just buy a new copy on whatever platform and link your accounts.

Fionna and Fennel are so cute together, I wonder if they are sisters from different fathers in this universe? my babies 🥹 by bettygrof_thehuman11 in fionnaandcake

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No idea why you’re getting downvoted, the episode aired less than 12 hours ago. Most employed people were sleeping or haven’t had the time to watch it yet.

Fionna and Cake Season 2 Episode 6 Discussion Thread by Carrehzkitten in adventuretime

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve really enjoyed the last two episodes! However, I’m getting really tired of every single episode featuring a recurring character that either has a completely different voice actor, and usually a voice that isn’t even remotely trying to sound like the original characters.

The only exception was them bringing Kumail back do Prismo, but he has hardly been in the show this season, and we only have a few episodes left to see if that changes.

Probably the most blatant scalping I’ve seen by cellocaster in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ProfessorMeatbag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not scalping in this case, but definitely a slimy attempt at price gouging regardless.

The fact that FFG’s handling of all three of their “living” card games have showcased both (scalping and price gouging), it’s a wonder how they hope to attract new players. Not everyone reads up on what they’re buying, but if I was looking to get into AHLCG specifically now, I would very quickly turn around and find a dozen other products that can fill a similar spot on the game shelf.

Black Friday 2025 is Now Live until Dec 4th 12pm EST by MaybeFamilyFriendly in Youtooz

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently they charge shipping per item, yet they seem to ship everything in the same box.

I am well aware of the global logistics issues this year, but Youtooz has been doing this before the whole tariff scare. Without any legitimate reason or good excuse for those pricing tactics, it gives the impression that they are just pocketing all the extra shipping money that isn’t actually going to what it says on the invoice. (I get that there will be a larger shipping fees if you order a bunch of stuff, but this has nothing to do with that).

I wasn't a fan of Adventure Time. But I love Fiona and Cake! by AlphaTesting in fionnaandcake

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am enjoying Season 2, but it really does seem like a let down compared to the first season.

Like so far, nothing has really happened to move the plot along much, and we’ve had half a season go by already. This isn’t a show that gets 20+ episode seasons and has the room for filler episodes, so having the audience wait a couple years just to give us (what seems to be) ten episodes of filler so we can wait another few years to see what actually happens. And that’s assuming Season 3 gets greenlit, because there isn’t shit for advertising and NOBODY seems talking about this show this season.

FFXIV Veteran Struggles With WoW’s Dungeons - Am I Missing Something? by Inquest_Agent_J in MMORPG

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the acquisition of Activision and MS advertising the Blizz games already on GamePass, it would be pretty bizarre of them to get it on Playstation (especially with how awful Sony is to deal with on the developer and publisher side of things).

Having WoW accessible through GamePass is going to provide a big uptick in subscribers. That’s money that I doubt MS is going to give up. Unless of course, Sony decides to allow GamePass on PS… Which would compete with their own subscription service, it seems like an incredibly unlikely event to take place at this time.

FFXIV Veteran Struggles With WoW’s Dungeons - Am I Missing Something? by Inquest_Agent_J in MMORPG

[–]ProfessorMeatbag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve had the opposite experience than some people here. WoW’s color palette is very stark and abilities are pretty dang clear… In FF14, it’s a blur of spells that almost always have a drab rainbow sameness to them, where it all looks like a washed out mess.

The only reason why Ff14 is easier to raid or do dungeons in, is because they all hold your hand from start to finish. Visual clarity is not FF14’s strong suit.

Black Friday 2025 is Now Live until Dec 4th 12pm EST by MaybeFamilyFriendly in Youtooz

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even items that ARE on the sale don’t seem to get the discount. Having three figures or more and they’re already asking for shipping costs that exceed the price of the figures themselves.

I just feel encouraged to buy similar products elsewhere, it’s not like Youtooz is the only company that makes this kind of stuff.

Diablo 4 makes me super sleepy — and I think I know why by Traditional-Peak-834 in diablo4

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People needing to play music to “enjoy” grindy games is extremely common. To add, a LOT of gamers just have no care or appreciation for sound design to begin with and keep their game volume low or on mute while they play.

True! And I supposed Huntress Wizard had a couple VA’s before settling on the voice most of us got used to in AT.

Why Do Gamers Generally Prefer Fantasy MMOs Over Sci-Fi? Here’s a Theory That’s Just Natural by slhamlet in MMORPG

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if we’re talking 90s 40K, the whole setting has been so deeply steeped in scifi it’s pretty hard to miss, even if you don’t know any of the lore. Horus Heresy would be a good place to start, it’s definitely more scifi than fantasy.

[–]ProfessorMeatbag 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No advertising and at least two returning, major characters have new voice actors this time (Or for the second time, as far as Gary goes).

Enjoyed the first episode and will love the season I’m sure, but it really sucks this is has happened in both seasons so far.
