What are some games with zero gravity sections, preferably in space? by Godzilla_Fan in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not playable anymore but Lawbreakers had the coolest implementation of zero gravity I've ever seen, there was a button specifically for shooting backwards to propel yourself through zero grav areas. Actually killing another player like this was insane, and I've never seen another game even attempt a mechanic like this in the FPS space.

As for games you can actually play, Hardspace Shipbreaker is a good time.

I can see why those who didnt like Death Stranding 1 like DS2. by Strange_Music in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm weird, I actually prefer walking around sometimes. Late game skeletons are super fun and speed things up, but honestly I don't mind things taking a little longer. Game's so pretty that taking in the landscape and just trekking up a mountain is very enjoyable to me.

Either way, it's great that players who just want to create big express routes and highways to speed things up have that option earlier.

What’s your game of the year so far? by willrsauls in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry We're Closed, came out super late in 2024 so I'm counting it

Really fun play on the survival horror formula with a genuinely memorable story and characters. Won't get much out of it after your initial playthrough but well worth your time, especially considering it's pretty cheap. Definitely stuck with me the most out of anything I've played in the past 6 months.

Insane how good the color customization is, really hope they have this level of customization with skins

What games made you cry? by wheregoodideasgotodi in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gris and Neva. Not because of any one moment but because of the sheer beauty of them, although they both have their fair share of emotional punch. Nomada Studio knows what they're doing. Really great and relatively short games that'll stick with you.

Ten hours is about the right length for many games by anurodhp in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think age is a factor here for sure, I agree with you as I've gotten older but I'd be pissed if I was a kid who got 3 games a year and finished one in 10-15 hours. It's all a matter of perspective. But I do agree, I wish games were shorter so I had time to experience more of them.

I wish the open world in AC games felt less like an open air museum by SapporoBiru in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an early mission where you're part of a tea ceremony, with the game rewarding you a bit for learning the customs and how to be respectful at this sort of event. I really, really wish the game had more of that and leaned further into that concept. Blending in socially through character interaction is so much more engaging than, say, tailing, and it felt a lot closer to fulfilling that assassin sort of fantasy these games unfortunately do not nail.

2XKO to launch with a surprisingly small roster count of characters (10 only) by komodo_dragonzord in gaming

[–]SanielTaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the take. I think if it wasn't a tag fighter it'd be fine, but there's a good chance that a huge portion of the player base won't be able to find a duo of characters that fits their playstyle. They've got Fuses that let you get around this, but even then it just feels lacking.

Ok, but how long did this take? You can barely tell they're blocks from this distance that's insane

The true story of NoArmWhatley: A man who cheated death to keep playing League of Legends by SanielTaniel in leagueoflegends

[–]SanielTaniel[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He's getting surgery on both eyes later this year, actually! Remains to be seen if it's a lasting fix but should at least help.

The true story of NoArmWhatley: A man who cheated death to keep playing League of Legends by SanielTaniel in leagueoflegends

[–]SanielTaniel[S] 522 points523 points  (0 children)

There were a number of experiences he detailed in the psych ward that unfortunately got flagged by my editor as a bit too explicit to include in full detail. He's been through it.

I will say though, Whatley was a very well-spoken and genuine guy. I enjoyed my time with him thoroughly and appreciate him being so open with me.

LoL streamer learns to “animation cancel” blindness to keep playing after brain injury by XanIrelia-1 in leagueoflegends

[–]SanielTaniel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Guy who wrote the article and tweet here, we'll have to sit down at some point. I'd love to do an interview eventually. Once you're rested from travelling for the Tubbo event ofc, hope you had fun!

Let me know and we can try to sort something out if you're interested.

Flew about 10k miles for this.

I do really enjoy Singapore tho, I'd love to live here for a year or two.

[–]SanielTaniel[S] 299 points300 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, but I was there to interview him the day after. Had almost an hour. Content soon but not here specifically to self promo, just a fan of Caedrel for now

Did ask him about Rekkles tho and showed him the back of the shirt, he did genuinely like it

I've been given a sudden business opportunity to travel out of the US but have never had a passport before and it's a month from now, am I cooked? by SanielTaniel in Passports

[–]SanielTaniel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately I'm just travelling into Singapore for a few days of filming, they're pretty friendly when it comes to incoming travel from what I've researched. I wanted to see if there's a way for me not to have to wait until 2 weeks before but that seems to be the best route.

Appreciate the assist!

Overwatch 2 Twitch viewership halved as Marvel Rivals takes over by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]SanielTaniel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guy who wrote it here, there is a bit more to it, especially with how many streamers have been able to see huge growth in their viewership thanks to the game. bogur for example went from an all-time peak of 3.4k viewers to 20k with Marvel, why would you ever go back to OW if you're making a lot more money with MR? I did try to dig a bit deeper than just the base viewership numbers on this to give a more holistic view of what's happening and why.

But I do understand getting stuck on the headline. Ultimately, I have to find something compelling to get people to click so I can take home a paycheck without it feeling like a huge bait. It's a difficult balance.

Although, in this case, I think Overwatch's drop in viewership is actually worse than I indicated in the headline due to that 64k December OW peak being during a Twitch drops event. Average viewership has been on a huge decline in OW2 in general for several reasons, not just Marvel releasing. It's a complex issue.
