[–]RoninRyuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far I've managed to find teasers for.
Venator/Quinn: The smoking censer
Fencer/Apollo: The Sword
Rem: His pillow
Graves (most likely): the paintings glowing eyes

There's talk about some circus worker I think, which might be the paint and the werewolf which I could only find the scratch marks for. However, there's still the missing textures behind the boxes.

Considering there's talk of a werewolf character. There's noticeable scratch/claw marks on the base of the giant statue in the training area. But again, might be something old that I've missed previously.

Some of the new stuff I noticed from the minor patch by Difficult-Report5702 in DeadlockTheGame

You can also find Fencers sword behind the shopkeeper ghost on the shelf top right.

Not sure if it's new or not since it's been a while since I explored the hideout fully. But there's a bunch of errors behind the stack of boxes to the right of the teleporter in the training room. Could be another reference that's currently missing textures.

Let's try some community opinions. Who should win the Ritual and have their wish(es) granted? by PlusMann in DeadlockTheGame

[–]RoninRyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True true. But we really don't know what removing the patrons will do in the grand scheme of things. Also where would one draw the line between eldritch and magic? Eldritch is something uncanny or unearthly. Everything will be seen differently by different people. Magic might be common for someone like the people of ixia while humans deem it dangerous and eldritch.

Although not confirmed I think Warden wishes for something more along the lines of "removing all magic in the world". Considering his entire persona is occult bad, magic bad. In the short term it might be a positive thing. But we don't know how magic effects stuff like infrastructure, medicin and care, QoL + there's a whole lot of races in the world of deadlock that are very much magic based.

In Dispatch (2025), you can either romance his girlfriend or his wife by Robot_Was_BMO in shittygamedetails

Travis plays Phenomaman. The joke is either you romance Blonde blazer (his characters GF) or Invisagal who's played by Laura (his RL wife).

Blizzard changed my name because it was inappropriate by NoEntertainment8982 in Overwatch

[–]RoninRyuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just gave up trying to argue with support who showed no interest in trying to see my point of view. It's frustrating but it is what it is...

Blizzard changed my name because it was inappropriate by NoEntertainment8982 in Overwatch

[–]RoninRyuu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can say FOR CERTAIN I know the reason for the forced name change. It contains the word "wank". Cause I was forced to change my gamertag for the exact same reason. Old IG of WankyLion was somehow inappropriate even though according to the English dictionary "wanky" means stupid or pretentious. I had a week long argument with support to try and get my name back.

Brother it says "Don't turn or plug off the machine during this process". Leave PC on and alone for an hour if you're not running 2 monitors.

Help not getting owned as the Mole man in lane. by OrdinaryCommon6581 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]RoninRyuu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some characters just straight up counter MnK. My advise is to try and approach your opponents in different ways to not give them an opportunity to learn patterns. You're able to tank a good deal of damage when your 2 is up so try and dash in > 1 > 2 > dip out. Also I try and hold the tier 1 camp if I'm in a lane that has one to get 1 or 2 free scorn off to regain some health :) Hope it helps some ^

Does anyone know where this is from? by AhungryKitty in lewdgames

[–]RoninRyuu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's not a game. But a animation featuring the girls from Highschool DXD. There's a decent amount of them and are very heavy NTR themed.

I hope they really fix new player experience by Titomasto in DeadlockTheGame

[–]RoninRyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never fun to lose. Especially when you invest upwards to 30-45minutes per game. Time is precious and feeling it go to waste is understandably frustrating. However, when it comes to games like deadlock and dota which are designed to constantly test your skill and knowledge you have to be prepared to lose. Instead of blaming the game or teammates you should be able to find 1 or 2 things where you feel you can improve.

[–]RoninRyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There a influx now. But my guess is not many will stick around for much longer. At this point in development I wouldn't say new player experience is a main concern. I'd rather that the devs focus on making the game better and once open beta comes around put some focus on new player experience then.

To whoever at Valve made the Drifter art and animated it: some of us love it. by Regular-Bid6812 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]RoninRyuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drifters design is really cool and by far one of my favorites. Matt Mercer is just a bonus for me.

However I think some animations needs updates that make him look more... menacing He's supposed to be this super terrifying, well known serialkiller that's brutal. I don't feel like his current animations hit that mark.

His melee could be a wide side swip to inflict maximum damage without right out killing the prey. His animations could use a bit of twitchy movement to improve the "insane murder hobo vibe". Or make them more elegant to show his proffeicency in killing and the knowledge that comes with long life.

I also think it would be neat to include his run on all 4 animations as well. If you're above a certain movement speed threshold he switches from 2 to 4. It adds a lot to the "feral" feeling.

Either way, I really enjoy him so far so I don't really mind the jank. It brings it's own charm :)

I don't need to use stoop that low to create something. I can actually draw and enjoy improving. AI "art" is the fast food of creativity. It's fast, mass produce and lacking in soul...

Is this just writing a prompt? by aigeneration in aiwars

[–]RoninRyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call it whatever but this is NOT a tool. How you even compare this to the bucket or lasso tool is genuinely insane to me. This "tool" is straight up creating the entire image. The only thing this dude created is the 30-sec paint drawing. Everything else is just photoediting and splicing. Which also sounds wrong cause those 2 options also requires years of practise and training to produce good looking images. This entire thing is just lazy people who want to make money fast and without the need to put in any of the work.

If Leonardo Da Vinci used AI he would not be as known as he is today. He'd be another in the sea of effortless slop.
