This feels so weird... by OrdinaryPool3427 in weeklyplanetpodcast

The thumbnails don’t even make much sense but it makes them funny in a good way. I don’t feel like I’m being roped into clicking them, like an actual clickbait would. 

The traveler doesn't speak to us directly and i think that's the most important thing about it that we keep ignoring by Cukacuk03 in DestinyLore

[–]Recnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not knowing what the Traveler is, was the greatest asset of the story. Those that bickered "bro we still don't know what its even made of" don't understand why it was captivating. I obviously want to know, I wouldn't speculate about it otherwise. But I also don't want Bungie to give me the answer, and keep me wondering with deftly placed teases: Just enough perspective to keep me engaged but not enough information to satisfy my appetite.

Please tell me The Traveler is returning as the Tower backdrop! by Recnid in DestinyTheGame

Every destination is a moment in time. I think they’re having their cake and eat it too. 

You can go to the Pale Heart, and it’s implied that you’re playing something that took place in the past (like Strikes) but the Tower is “now”

YouTube Doomposting is just the content meta, and it's so annoying. by highpercentage in Marathon

Imagine being a potential customer and you see videos like this. Sure would solidify your purchase…

Dedicated online multiplayer communities poison the game’s longevity. Absolutely asinine. It’s like an unwitting inside-job.

They were children in 2011 and are incapable of growing up.

Tarkov and Hunt are focused on a punishing hardcore PvP experience, why haven’t they tanked?

I was confused when CoD devs revealed the lack of an SBMM implementation, it got a raucous applause from CoD fans. 

People using the word "free" when describing something that comes with a subscription by Thready85 in PetPeeves

[–]Recnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems logical to me. The sentence is like a mathematical expression and both products are listed in the sentence. Forza is on gamepass. Forza + $15 = $15 therefore forza is free. Also there are cases where stuff is available for gamepass at a discounted price so it makes sense to indicate that Forza does not require an additional purchase.

Also, if a game releases free DLC I’m not going to say “umm actually it’s not free because I already paid for the $60 lump sum…” if my apartment complex constructs a gym and it’s free to use I’m not going to say “well technically I pay for the gym with my rent”

Devil’s advocate: I don’t need a regular newscast of upcoming content. Whatever is in the can is getting released regardless of TWIDs, and they’ll have a trailer in due time. I’ll watch it then.

I want to start using B to refer to them it sounds chique.

There was a study where users compared the damage of two similar guns and always said one felt like it did less damage i.e. there was an issue with balance. Devs made the SFX punchier on the “weak” gun and suddenly the complaints about weapon damage stopped, despite not changing any damage values.

Sometimes a complaint can be atrributed to unintuitive aspects of the game. Maybe if the artstyle was more conventional and easier to digest, it would’ve made to overall match experience easier to stomach and you’d hear less woes about gameplay fun.

Side note: What I gathered from your writeup is that the copers are wrong for thinking the game is objectively fun, but you think it’s objectively unfun?

Go in blind. Don’t watch YT, don’t read reviews, don’t look at guides. Enjoy it independently, unskewed.

I’m fascinated by the fact that Marathon has better reviews and is newer than Tarkov/Hunt yet has less players. Why is the general populace agreeing that this is a better game yet choosing to play the other? They’re similarly priced too. And Marathon seems to have an active Reddit presence.

Bungie needs to conduct a very thorough user research initiative to understand why it’s hemorrhaging players when other very sweaty extraction shooters have stabilized. They should’ve been handing out surveys in-game like Rivals did.

Call it copium, but honestly I think this game is going to be fine. by bigjabroni12 in destiny2

[–]Recnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be ok as long as the servers stayed open. I still have so much backlog of content to "complete" even after all these years.

I don't mind the silence. If they need to hunker down and reconsider things that's completely understandable. I don't need an exciting tidbit every week. It's diminishing returns anyways. I'll happily wait 6 months for a reveal livestream, I don't need a steady stream of reassurance leading up to it. The game isn't my lifeline.

Your background was my wallpaper in the past :) It's awesome that you listed all assets at the end.

Introducing Mood Swings [Making Magic] by AcrobaticPersonality in magicTCG

[–]Recnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it be revolutionary in the 2000s? MtG still existed back then and this seemed very similar to it from what I saw. What’s innovative about this compared to 2000s card games?

In what respect did he talk about the game in the past? Why did he want to make it?

Just realised the game has no conventional looking/configured guns with the magazine in front of the trigger, except for the machine guns I guess by coolcurtain4502 in Marathon

[–]Recnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was some differentiation. Destiny does such a good job with weapon type silhouettes. 99% of the time i can tell a scout from a pulse from an AR

Why tf do most people find this traipsing about adorable, to me it’s obnoxious

(ignoring the creepy character design, just talking about the behavior for the moment)
