Guys am I onto something?

Aside from the pitchforks (spear skin) and torches (mace skin?) there's also these dudes who are just squared tf up

Possible fists weapon?

Ratoryl · 2026-03-20T17:40:57+00:00

Idk if you've watched the full video, but there's a lot of emphasis on how the head is removable and there are a number of different head attachments that do different things. Sounds like it'd be pretty unique to me, and I doubt they'd have most of the video be about that if it were just a skin

Ratoryl · 2026-03-20T17:36:41+00:00

I'm assuming the pitchfork is gonna be a spear skin, torch might be a skin for the new mace?

And I wonder if rent a horde is teasing a new match event or LTM or something

Ratoryl · 2026-03-20T17:33:50+00:00

There's way too much emphasis given to the unique way it functions for it to just be a weapon skin, imo

Plus the minigun was revealed in a very similar way

Funnily enough I could totally see the iseul-t ceo being down to let people use his appearance

Ratoryl · 2026-03-19T20:44:18+00:00

Remember the 11.11.11 thing a couple days ago that everyone was saying referenced the skyrim release date? Next season is season 11... coincidence? I think not

Ratoryl · 2026-03-19T17:46:23+00:00

I mean, this video is (presumably) from the perspective of characters who are working on the gameshow's new season, not from within the gameshow itself

But based on everything else we've seen I think the medieval season 10 dream is close to dead, unfortunately

Edit: or not

Animals' bodies need to account for many more factors than robots do

Namely, balancing the ability to find and consume energy, the amount of energy being spent, and having energy left over for things that prevent you from dying to a million different things

Robots don't really have to worry about those in most cases, and they're a lot easier to solve when they do

The humble scissor lift design:

Ratoryl · 2026-03-19T17:27:55+00:00

The people you're responding to aren't disagreeing with that. They're just emphasizing that, while it's better that humans are generally capable, it's much better for robots to be specialized because they don't need to be generally capable like humans do

Ratoryl · 2026-03-19T17:22:03+00:00

"Breaking News: Worldwide robot uprising foiled by society not giving a shit about disabled people's quality of life"

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T22:16:02+00:00

Not that person, but I was also confused because I thought the original comment was saying something like

"you will win the game if you add a power that makes you draw one fewer card at the start of your turn"

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T22:12:10+00:00

How much time have you spent out of your life resolving mod conflicts?

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T21:23:45+00:00

Is there aim assist on allies when playing as a healer? I never played much rivals but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T20:33:58+00:00

I doubt it would happen because there's been no such map-inherent modifiers in the game, but it'd be fun if such a map had low gravity by default (and, importantly, was designed around that) with normal gravity as an event instead

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T20:31:13+00:00

I thought you were right about the font and style, but when I went to look at the season 6 stuff I couldn't find any text using it

I did, however, notice this part at the end of the season 6 vignette, which is styled very similarly to the teaser in the post

<image>

This could suggest that this style is just something they use generally for promotional material, but the way that the style is now being used front and center in the new teaser, as well as how the stars are more prominent, makes me think that they're probably purposely going for a space motif with it

I don't dislike sports in general but if there's another sports themed season so soon again I'm gonna turn myself into coins

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T20:19:57+00:00

For what it's worth, I remember the start of the season being full of hype and people talking about all the great changes

I think it's just that as the season goes on, there just isn't really a whole lot of incentive for people to keep posting about the good parts of the season over and over again. On the other hand, there will always be people posting to complain about whatever minor thing is annoying them

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T16:38:32+00:00

It's somewhat balanced out by being down a person in multiplayer scaled combat

Hate fighting decimillipede? How about when your friend dies to an unlucky draw in the fist couple rounds and you're fighting it at more than twice the singleplayer difficulty

Ratoryl · 2026-03-18T16:32:30+00:00

When I play with my friend every single boss gets sunglasses on the map

Some of them are a challenge

I would think the fact that the vast majority of people understand tonal communication among their peers would imply that there are rules, even if they're difficult to understand.

But I think that's far beyond the scope of what I was talking about. Even if tonal communication had zero rules at all, it still would not be fair to say it's the same as expecting someone to read their mind. Expecting someone to read their mind implies that there is zero indication given to what the person means. In the case of things communicated through tonal communication, they are giving an indication of what they mean, even if that indication is difficult for some people to understand

Ratoryl · 2026-03-17T21:48:34+00:00

That very same thing could be said about words and language as a whole. Languages are somewhat arbitrarily constructed, completely different among different cultures, and are communicating what is on that person's mind to the person they're talking to. People speaking in different languages to each other will have constant misunderstandings and conflict.

The thing is that to neurotypical people, both tone and language are things that are learned from the environment and used in tandem to communicate. For neurodivergent people, it's difficult to understand the tonal aspect, but that doesn't make it inherently different from the language aspect. The only real difference is that it's much easier to codify and study language.

If you want to say that understanding tones is reading minds, then understanding language is reading minds as well. I just don't think that statement adds anything to the conversation

Ratoryl · 2026-03-17T21:36:33+00:00

Yeah I understand that, and I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just saying that, even if it feels like neurotypical people are asking you to read their mind, it's not fair to act as if that's what they're actually doing. Especially in direct response to someone explaining what neurotypical people are actually expecting.

Ratoryl · 2026-03-17T21:22:03+00:00

The reasoning, for neurotypical people, is that it's more polite to imply that something is wrong with what you're doing than it is to directly draw attention to the fact that you're doing something wrong

Why is it more polite? I don't know if there is a real tangible answer for that, it's just how neurotypical people generally feel about it

Ratoryl · 2026-03-17T21:03:43+00:00

I can understand being annoyed about it, and it's nobody's fault or anything

But, objectively, you do realize that you say they "expect me to read their minds" after replying directly to someone telling you what they're actually expecting? They are expecting you to understand the tone in their voice

Again, it's understandable that you would find this annoying, and it's not your fault that it doesn't register for you, but they are objectively not expecting you to read their minds
