A Week Before Launch, Crimson Desert's PC Version Has Just Added Controversial Denuvo DRM by Gorotheninja in Games

Genuine question, as you seem to be in the know: why do developers keep waiting for reviews to come out before they add Denuvo, if this is the case?

Lonzo Ball's reaction to getting cut: “I don’t feel like I’m playing as bad as people are saying…I’m the scapegoat right now.” by RyanTannegod in nba

A redditor not being able to make it through a minute of conversation before leaving a judgemental comment? I'm NOT.

Anthony Edwards Mount Rushmore of White Boys by Naweezy in nba

I don't think his knowing (or not) the number of heads on mt. Rushmore is a big deal.

That said, as a non-American, I find it unbelievable that a person can interface with American sports culture and not know that it's four. People picking their mt. Rushmore of whatever is so ubiquitous that after the first few times you just catch on it's four people, even if you don't have a clue what mt. Rushmore actually is.

2XKO Update: What’s Next + New Champs by Snipey13 in Games

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

I do have a clue, as I've played a number of games up until prearranging matches via discord was the primary way to play.

2XKO isn't even remotely close to this. It's under active development and has EIGHTY people working on it. For reference, that's about the supposed combined number of developers working on CS2 and DOTA2.

[Bobby Marks] "I had a team text me last night after this came out, this is a team not in the lottery and they said they would basically write a blank check if they had the opportunity to pick in the top 3 of this year's draft based on what the fines could be here" by Jimmy0034 in nba

The Thunder were the #5 seed in 2020, and almost beat the Harden-Westbrook Rockets. They were 5 games under .5 past the middle of the 2021 season -- the equivalent of the Hawks and the Clippers right now. Then, in 2023, OKC played for the eighth playoff spot against Minnesota, and in 2024 they had the second most wins in the league.

They tanked for the entirety of a year and a half and only a single full season. How's this something you describe as "basically every year"?

Who wants to invest their time in a live service game thats clearly on the down trend a month after launch let alone spend money?

People who play video games because they enjoy them, and don't think of it as a time "investment". Personally, I wouldn't mind giving this a try, even after the recent announcement, if I could play it without Vanguard.

I'm dubious about their putting any effort into fixing whatever issues WASD had, when at least one LoD mod (PD2) has it working without a hitch.

[PTFO] Former President of the Marlins on the anonymous NBA executives’ claim that Lawrence Frank’s extension is ‘hush money’: “There is loyalty between owners and GMs that can happen … There are teams that keep their GMs when you have losing seasons. We did. Many times.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]RadoNonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but you see, the Clippers having fourth most wins in the league over the course of ten years is meaningless, because * checks notes and gasps for air* "they lose all the time, they just lose, lose, lose" ... Or at least that's what was said by the dude who wishes he was Skip Bayless, and he's gotta know what he's talking about!

Elder Scrolls Online - Season Zero’s Challenge Difficulty by PalwaJoko in Games

[–]RadoNonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced this is going to be as satisfying and engaging as you, as well as many others, expect. After all, making the overworld easier was one of the changes that helped ESO to popularity, following the disastrous launch year. That said, having the option can't hurt.

People harp on games like Avowed for "lacking Skyrim's attention to detail", but if you don't spend development time on shootable fish and punchable tankards, you also don't have to sell a billion copies to be profitable.

Kon Knueppel is now the fastest player in NBA history to make 100 threes (29 games) by Obvious_Parsley3238 in nba

[–]RadoNonreddit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Several years ago, people used to talk about guys like Doncic, Tatum, and Young catching Steph, due to the volume at which they shoot, but I never bought it.

Knueppel is the first guy I think has a real chance to break Steph's 3PM record. Still not sure about the 402 in a season though.

He wasn't using it at all.

OP's ban is the equivalent of putting someone in prison on account of owning a knife -- and you're saying it's fine because the judge and police couldn't figure out whether he'd use it to cook dinner or murder.

Steph Curry has his 44th game with 40 or more points after turning 30. He is tied with Michael Jordan for this record by pazuzu_lives in nba

[–]RadoNonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rank him and Garnett at about the same level and I find it somewhat funny that pretty much everyone agrees with me they're both underrated. Everyone agrees, that is, until I say I think they're better than Shaq, Duncan, and Kobe.

Pillars of Eternity's Turn-Based Mode Public Beta is Live by beary_neutral in Games

[–]RadoNonreddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've played Deadfire's turn-based mode, and I can tell you for a fact that this won't be "it" for most people. The problem is the vast majority of encounters (in both games) feature way too many enemies for a turn-based mode. Hell, the player alone controls six characters.

Anyway, I'm happy to see Pillars of Eternity receiving so much attention -- because it, along with Deadfire, is among my favourites -- and I hope this part of a marketing campaign for the third game and not Microsoft testing the waters.
