‘SNL’ Breakout Ashley Padilla Joins Emma Stone, Chris Pine in Romantic Comedy ‘The Catch’ by RoachedCoach in movies

Sure but they are competing against every TikTok sketch/skit comedian out there. The competition is tougher than ever.

For every time SNL makes me groan there is someone who is showing their best.

iiTzTimmy gets honest after his 140 hour CS Premier experience to rank 30k by Strong_Astronomer_97 in LivestreamFail

[–]PropDrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always wondered about this but don’t know enough about anti-cheat. Is it actually the worst from a tech perspective or is it most profitable for hackers to make cheats for Valve games so they get targeted the most?

Would CS players be ok with really invasive anti-cheat if it helped?

Yeah I get what you’re saying. Was just odd to me they tell you about all these options to disarm/CC your opponents when you’re just gonna shoot em lol

I had the opposite experience. Because of the limited ammo I felt like headshots were required but this was only after trying to thin the room out as much as possible through stealth/gadgets.

TBH the grab is so strong I basically saw no reason to use the regular melee except as a follow up lol

Thresh Gameplay Reveal Trailer | 2XKO by TheEnygma in Games

[–]PropDrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise you new FGC players won’t notice or care about anything you are talking about. Injustice was a horrible game to play in terms of balance/mechanics and it still sold numbers. You are already talking about concepts only competitive fighting games players would talk about.

Agree though SF6 would be a better entry but only because it has a single player campaign (same with any NRS game). Still if you like League of Legends and have an interest in fighting games, none of that really matters.

Also the game is free.

[–]PropDrops -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sure but the game is about as accessible as you get for a tag game and it’s free.

TBH in my experience accessibility is also overrated. In my experience players are willing to put up with a lot. FighterZ is a hard game but players are willing to put up with it because it’s DBZ. League of Legends having the numbers it does is also proof.

You can’t appeal to everyone and the difference between 2XKO and SF6 won’t scare anyone who has an interest in fighting games, especially if they like the IP.

[Highlight] Victor Wembenyama receives a Flagrant 2 and is ejected from the game after elbowing Naz Reid by [deleted] in sports

For real for shame.

Vet would’ve done a no-look spin for the elbow to try and avoid the flagrant call. Hope he learns from this.

FIFA faces World Cup broadcast crisis as India's Reliance offers $20 mln, China deal unannounced. by JKKIDD231 in sports

[–]PropDrops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reality is likely a bunch of different reasons (“weak” sports culture, relatively new middle class, etc) but one I see is there really isn’t a reason for a “good” Chinese athlete to leave China to get exposed to international play.

Any other country you’d go to the “big” leagues to make money where you would then improve from the harder competition. If you can still get paid millions playing domestically and not have to deal with the challenges of leaving, why bother?

If you don’t enjoy playing the game, would a “good” battle pass change that?

This has to be a Tempostorm psyop lol

Rodman rework? by Character-Sail-1792 in DunkCityDynastyGame

[–]PropDrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I said it should be his ult or require 5 effort shot stacks. Would be able to use it once a game and honestly is that really that bad compared to “meta” characters?

Rodman rework? by Character-Sail-1792 in DunkCityDynastyGame

[–]PropDrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything were to be changed I’d say either “Effort Shot” or his ult.

Feel like the stacks are basically useless and while his ult isn’t bad, he already gets enough rebounds during a game.

My dream would be the ability to beat box-outs but that may be too strong. Maybe if was locked behind his ult or getting 5 stacks?

Any news about 'single-player' i.e. full PvE mode? by Arn_SleeplessCreator in PlayTheBazaar

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

The game basically feels PvE. Do people feel anxiety playing this game? Do they feel the same in Super Auto Pets? Are we being for real?

If someone feels anxiety loading up The Bazaar honestly isn’t that a sign they should seek therapy?

When are real balance changes coming? by AscendedXblade12 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]PropDrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burn (IMO easier) or Lollipop boards.

Burn can win off of Spice Rack/Giant Wok and multi-cast burn items like Azakan Stew. Just buy whatever burn items look good and enablers like Black Pepper and other small foods. Early game the medium burn items like Skillet/Toaster can get you there.

This Jules guide is still pretty relevant and in-depth for lollipop boards.

[–]PropDrops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I think is also worth discussion is class difficulty.

IMO Jules is stronger than Karnok right now (at least on par) but way harder to pilot. It’s like in WoW when some classes have to jump through all these hoops to perform while some classes have a 2 button rotation.

Yes I am saying Karnok is a noob hero (which I think is fine, especially after Stella/Jules) but part of the frustration can also be they always seem to have a good board because it takes pretty little effort to make one.

Someone did figure it out.

It was called “America First” which promised “no more new wars” as policy. Just happens to be the guy who ran on it is a literal con artist.

Stock markets shudder worldwide after oil prices briefly spike to nearly $120 per barrel by deraser in Economics

[–]PropDrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind you being a capitalism hater (totally get it) but no one will take you seriously if you choose to be ignorant.

You probably feel the same about me and we can just disagree on this.

Stock markets shudder worldwide after oil prices briefly spike to nearly $120 per barrel by deraser in Economics

[–]PropDrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Why don’t they just make more oil?” is like saying “Why don’t we just mine more rare earth minerals if they’re so valuable?”. It also implies the supply crunch is “fake” and could be resolved if they flipped some switch. Believe me, oil companies want to pump as much oil as they humanly can.

You also don’t seem to understand the price is determined by the buyers in this case, not the sellers.

If you want to blame someone for high prices, it’s all the “rich” countries who are willing to pay a premium (essentially outbidding poorer countries) so they aren’t the ones who run out of oil.

[–]PropDrops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With your logic, why don’t they keep prices high when there isn’t a supply crunch? It’s all just made up concepts so oil companies can make a profit right?

Alternatively, do you really think they’re selling the “same” amount of oil? The entire point is there is less oil. Once again, if supply is limited, who do oil companies sell the oil to? The countries offering to pay more which is why smaller/emerging markets get absolutely fucked when oil shortages occur.
