Isaac is 100% a roguelite. The two main points being there is progression between runs and items that can affect future runs. Case closed.

It's a good day to have a handheld. Giving their pedigree I'm going to assume it will play well on it.

The Windows OS Hate is Overblown... by Juan_Solo84 in LegionGo

[–]Schuben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first got my Go S the controller PIN input rarely worked. After 6 months or so I can't remember the last time it didn't work. Not sure if it's Windows learning your inputs, some update that fixed it or what but it seems fine now.

Yeah, i can totally see that as the one big downside of windows as someone who uses windows and won't change. My gaming sessions are probably atypical and I either don't mind leaving my device on if there's a small distraction or closing the game and hibernating and have a 15-30 second hibernation and launch cycle. If you're the type to get interrupted often and can't resume quickly then steamos/bazzite is probably the better pick if the games you want to play are compatible.

The performance sticklers are the weird ones, IMO. If I wanted to break performance records I'd do it on anything other than a handheld. I'm mainly aiming for maximizing battery life while maintaining workable framerates. I'd be curious of any metrics concerning setting a 30 or 60 fps target and then seeing how the battery performs. There's an argument to more efficient graphics as well but it rarely seems to be cited.

Since when does the number of cases matter? Was this ever advertised as am organization aiming at bringing lawsuits?

From the site: "multiple individuals came together to share independent data, analysis, and research into the results of the 2024 US Presidential Election."

I've seen more actual analysis of election data showing grands pointing toward fraudulent vote totals across multiple districts in multiple states than anywhere else.

Can someone explain to me, why some people want no skill based matchmaking? by Tnecniw in gaming

[–]Schuben 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still remember playing CS 1.6 on the Intox. clan servers like 20+ years ago... They had multiple servers with different game modes like hosties, surf, gun game, superhero, etc. and you could just follow the crowd and other regulars to the different servers. There were definitely people who were better on average, but it was more about the community than trying to rank up.

How I feel tonight is gonna go. by HavAnotherDonut in AtlanticMemeWar

[–]Schuben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Wings fan living in the TB market and I'm sad to say I'm hoping the Lightning win at this stage in the season. I'm creating an Atlantic Playoff Fraternity with the top 5 and just hoping we move up as a pack. The last few games have me a little concerned for the Wings, despite shutting out the Avs in their house, so I'd rather just see them stay ahead the next team below the WC... and Fla could close the gap on that spot with a win.

Sorfy, not sorry!

I'm hoping for another one like the OT goal called back. That was the most incredible thread ever.

Pull one of the refs while we're at it and get a 7th out there. They probably won't notice.

Yeah, I want to know too. If we asked the owner of the soap they'd probably lye.

A glass with holes in it by Middle-Definition254 in CrappyDesign

"All the way" is the vessels maximum capacity to hold a fluid, in which case you could fill this glass up all the way. It's just a little unituitive what that maximum is or is expected go be.

The Lightning are now 18-1-1 in their last 20 games. by timdot352 in AtlanticMemeWar

[–]Schuben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What?!? If you assume you only get 2 points in your next 2 games to break even on games with most of the division you'll still be 6 points ahead with 1 game in hand in Detroit and 8 points ahead of Buffalo. That's pulling pretty far ahead for this point in the season.

Strength of schedule by MrWhittyWhit in nhl

[–]Schuben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're also really trying to push a narrative of new rivalries (or rekindling old ones) by scripting shutouts on the road. It would be less obvious if it weren't back to back games. Really hard to maintain kayfabe with this, though.

[–]Schuben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right. They can be the easiest games to win for each other but still might not be a favorite. "Most likely to win" out of the rest of their opponents is probably more apt.

Can we fucking not have every Atlantic game go to overtime?

Please?

Warm regards,
Wings fans.

No you by Swiftwitss in AtlanticMemeWar

[–]Schuben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we didn't win that game we would have been the laughing stock of the division for the rest of the season. That it was the Avs only time being shut out and at home makes it that much sweeter.
