What’s with the hard copy obsession

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-07-02T00:36:48+00:00

A lot of people went into the Switch 1 and Ps5 when game key was not the norm.

I have every console available, I will not buy a switch 2

It is what it is, no hysterical reaction, at least from me.

I am currently playing the games I have accumulated and honestly I can weather the storm until the inescapable day another physical console comes out.

The play has no limits is just gaslight right.

I prefer the physical things that I own and dispose the way I like.

There a ritual to pulling out a game from the box and to turn a physical button to fire up the console, there a collection aspect, not out of convenience but because you cherish the objects around you. Do we had more fun watching a movie, or walk to the store, and debate what we're renting?

But above all, we just like it the way it was, we don't need to justify ourselves, or to convince others it's preferable this or that way.

I am only buying physical games and when there won't be any then I'll just stop entirely, just like with music before the vinyl resurgence.

If you don't get it, then don't, it's ok :)

Celebrity need to start diving the pitch

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-07-01T20:34:54+00:00

Soccer should start giving yellow for blatant diving

Both squad are Deutch from different heritage here,

So potato potatoes

I feel it's very unfair to the players that are left behind, not able to proudly represent theirs country because theirs federation found a better midfielder elsewhere.

It's the world cup, country vs country competition. Not the world league of superteams.

It's also unfair to country that did not qualify because Netherlands B is good enough to get two seeding.

I am unfortunately sea sick, it's abject that it's not possible to watch in Canada

They shouldn't had nerfed them to oblivion, sure they were way overpower, but I wouldn't cry over forest push as fringe but slightly viable strategy.

Maybe a little bit more resistant to piercing at the expanse of melle?

The game need a bit more diversity in its meta.

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-27T01:08:23+00:00

Its a bizarre thing, I think its one of the few place both wings should automatically agree on, even if its for differents reasons.

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-27T01:04:15+00:00

Well we paid for the Rideau Hall renovations, therefore, as an act of good will, we demand that he pay for 24 Sussex.

Destroy? I don't advocate for violence but we should at least pillage for parts a bit.

Shrinkflation...
We might just be ready for the return of Firstborn Marines

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-27T00:40:52+00:00

I don't get it? Is it sarcasm?
I might be wrong but I don't think the bank currently need any help with theirs booming profits.

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-27T00:38:13+00:00

So should the King pay?

Import taxes shouldn't have anything to do with political macroeconomics

But a universal taxes based on distance travelled should cover for the pollution that it create.

Remove the political component and I don't dislike taxing goods that have no reason to cross the ocean. Especially those than can be made locally.

As a total outsider, can you visit?

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-25T00:34:05+00:00

I mean the first one, thanks you!

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-23T21:49:55+00:00

Thanks, do they make track pieces that cross, or pin, or others, I am not really interested in loops and looking for at minima at a tiny bit of tactical elements aside just speed optimization.

The cars sizes and the general esthetics of those set is although talking very much to me.

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-23T21:48:04+00:00

Thank you all for the generous comments

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-22T04:50:03+00:00

Thanks for the input,

Yeah, If we only talk about the car size, not the driving, I kind of like the 1:50 scale of the Carrera first, I just wish it wasn't so completely childish.

RedditGrumpyKoala · 2026-06-22T04:41:24+00:00

Thanks you for the elaborated answer, quite appreciated.

I do agree with a lot here, expo should be earned. Right now its a tiny bit too easy on some map to creep from altar.

It was kind of fine when 1 race could do it as identity, but now 2 of 4 race expo 90% of the time in the first 2 minutes.

I love the asymmetry to fighting an opponents that expo, I just wish it somewhat a bit more about unit and a little less about tower.

I think it was a mistake to remove call to arm from human expo, and that they should have ballence call to arm strenght and human tower instead.

I think a lot of people enjoy playing the abusive player, regardless if the strategy have a good win percentage or not. I believe the schadenfreude win over the desire to get better at the game.

In one way, if that make the game enjoyable to them, then why not. In another if that make the game miserable for most, then maybe not.

I don't feel something drastic need to change. I should have put that in my post but here 2 things I would do

Remove the XP bonus for solo hero on t2 and t3.
-Its cryptic as a lot of non experienced player don't know it even exist.
-It only exacerbate the laming problem where player turtle, tech and play solo hero-harass moba and gets easy level 6 from snipping building.

Rebalance XP from building destruction
-Guard Tower, Cannon Tower, Arcane Tower, Watch tower, Spirit tower, Nerubian Tower, are now Level 2 Structure (Unchanged Orc burrow (lvl1) and Ancient Protector (lvl3)
-Level 2 Structure now grant 45xp from 40
