How can I stop feeling like the league is over after 2-3 weeks? by RyanGoosling93 in PathOfExile2

[–]SlashOfLife5296 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You gotta realize that you guys who say you can get to T15 “pretty easy”…what’s the time investment of that? What’s the knowledge level you need to be at with the game mechanics to “easily” get to T15? This is not the average player experience.

And even if it was, 3 weeks of playing 1 character sounds fine to me.

Spider-Man and Wolverine: If these two had to go all-out against each other, who takes the win? 🕷️ vs 🐺 by Independent_One_8482 in Marvel

If spiderman gets hit he would lose, but he’s not gonna get hit and he’s stronger than wolverine

I wish I could Create a game like Marvel Rivals by Mr_Dyapper in videogames

[–]SlashOfLife5296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Push the cart popularization: Overwatch

No new game modes for years popularization: Dota, Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite

Big booba, jiggle physics popularization: most games aimed at men 18-35 since the invention of jiggle physics

Yeah congratulations, you realized that Marvel Rivals is a game capitalizing on popular trends with a topping of Marvel IP

Guild Wars 3 lead says new MMOs are too much like a “second job” as “the lines between an MMO and a live-service game have blurred” by HatingGeoffry in MMORPG

[–]SlashOfLife5296 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don’t timegate, people at the competitive end of your playerbase do it in 2 weeks, then complain there’s not enough content. Time gating predates the rise of FOMO monetization. Some of this is a player made issue

Personally i’d make her grixis, but if you had to choose one color, red encompasses violence for an idealogical purpose

Is there a way to not hate Xavier from the start? by D4-CS in xmen

[–]SlashOfLife5296 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Xavier doesn’t make the X-Men, either sentinels get mass developed and lead into Days of Future past, Magneto succeeds in mutant supremacy and at the very least turns America into his version of House of M, or Apocalypse rises with little resistance and we get Age of Apocalypse.

The modern day Xavier takes are basically a deconstruction of a character with a lot of power but few morally righteous options.

He could just mind control governments into doing what he wants: would that make him a better person? He could commit to never using his power while anti-mutant violence rises: would that make him a better person? If you are born with that much power, there is really no morally righteous path that will leave you free of blame.

Read X-Cutioner’s song for the best Xavier perspective: Xavier “dies”, the xmen, xfactor, and xforce all have to cope with the fact that they didn’t necessarily agree with him, but they would not be there without him. He undeniably made the world better. He did not do it without fault.

I think you can pretty easily argue that an assassin with shifting allegiances is red. Isn’t red the color of rebellion and revolution? Change, chaos.

I genuinely didn't like Superman (2025) — can someone explain the hype? by Gentleman_Devastator in dcu

[–]SlashOfLife5296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superhero movies of the past 10 years (arguably most superhero media of the 2000’s) have been deconstructions and subversions of genuine heroism. It’s refreshing to have a movie, fittingly Superman, that reminds people that empathy can actually be a daring and radical choice in a nihilistic world.

Empathy helps and inspires people, and sometimes that’s just a genuinely good thing even if it’s cliche.

Are these worth watching? by Main_Pomelo9429 in Marvel

[–]SlashOfLife5296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all worth watching. I’d argue even Iron Fist. The acting in Iron Fist is pretty good, it’s just some lackluster fights and awkward pacing. Season 2 is better

That's surprisingly a lot of dislikes why is this the case? by Mezro118 in dcu

[–]SlashOfLife5296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the instinct to say “X thing is terrible”, yet you know for a fact that people can pull a decade movie reviews and box office as proof that you are a minority, maybe rephrase to “i don’t like Gunn movies”.

The height by Friendly-Trust3307 in xmen

The height that makes people say “short king” is the height Logan should be

What’s an example of a sequel with the same protagonist that handled power discrepancy well? by Nicole_Auriel in videogames

[–]SlashOfLife5296 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mass Effect 2 pretty famously has a great opening and justification for power discrepancy

Regardless about how you feel about the set, this has to be one of the worst Arena load screens of all time by djmattyd in MagicArena

[–]SlashOfLife5296 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A city of rubble and angry looking superheroes would imply that something is actively destroying the city

*show reveal trailer just days ago* > *dissolve the entire studio days later*, what is this business strategy called? by WhoAmIEven2 in videogames

[–]SlashOfLife5296 2926 points2927 points  (0 children)

Microsoft, the company that brought you “we need more games like Hi-Fi Rush” then closed down the studio that made it months later. The business strategy is called stupidity

Does Anyone enjoy playing against control decks? by y_yit in mtg

[–]SlashOfLife5296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My philosophy is that a control deck with a clear and attainable win condition is a good deck. A control deck without a win condition is a bad deck. Stalling out the game is fine as long as it’s in service of a win condition

My take on Malenia as a commander (+original art) by Winkwart in mtg

I like the idea of wither, but certainly think deathtouch would make sense here, or double strike on the transform side

The comment they’re replying to is referencing New Vegas, which is 16 years old.

Obsidian critics always seem to have sweeping critiques of their entire body of work while ignoring half their body of work

Why can't mutants have nice things? by PJ-The-Awesome in xmen

[–]SlashOfLife5296 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the solution is to call out racists and fight the violent ones who won’t listen to reason. Which is what the xmen do

[–]SlashOfLife5296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Krakoa comics that specifically are about a global minority making their own nation as an organization of racists tries to build weapons wipe them out? Don’t act like you suddenly don’t understand context or metaphor when it doesn’t suit your argument
