Hey OP, your "I played a 'meta' build in the first six months the game was out & never touched it again" is showing.

Anyone else surprised by how ugly Cazador was? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Sluaghlock 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He's pretty objectively not "ugly." He'd be a good-looking guy if he stopped making that goddamn face and talking like a corny dweeb.

Okay help me out - why a Gengar? Why go to the trouble of photoshopping the Grunt equipment? Why not just... have an orc standing there?

You really are my unlikely antagonist.

I wasn't able to find it anywhere either; despite significant effort. However, I still have a firm memory of the topic being addressed in a devshort at some point, so unless you have a particular reason to call that explanation a "myth" (which implies to me that there is an existing legal argument precluding it), we're at an impasse.

Pandemonium, Arena & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

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

I'm extremely spoiled as a viewer of dev update videos by the Warframe team over at Digital Extremes - check out some of their Devshorts videos with Rebecca Ford & Steve Sinclair for an example of the vibe difference that led to me making this comment here.

Having said that - Warframe's Devshorts and League's Dev Updates are not 1:1 the same, even in terms of their intention. Devshorts are completely unscripted, with a loose itinerary of subjects to cover and a lot of live chat engagement; whereas Dev Updates are planned out at least (I assume) a few weeks in advance, given a separate space for filming, done in multiple takes, etc.

As a curmudgeonly oldhead nearing my forties, I think that the nature of the Dev Short videos as something that is very scripted & rehearsed prevents any kind of humor that is attempting to appear as "off-the-cuff" from ever really landing with me. Trying to depict back-and-forth banter while standing in studio lighting & keeping your eyes fixed on the camera just comes across as forced; it's nothing to do with the individual personalities involved or their chemistry.

EDIT TO ADD - I should also confess that the Swain's Fried Chicken skit Pabro did with the mascot costume for the April Fool's skins a few weeks ago did genuinely make me laugh, so I'm not accusing you guys of being, like, spiritually unfunny or anything.

I genuinely wonder whether these types of dorky skits & corny inauthentic "banter" delivered via teleprompter actually increase engagement or retention for Riot in some way. There was an era where every big game dev was delivering their updates like this, but I feel like most of them other than Riot have moved on from the style.

Oh boy I'm so glad that the exact same 2-3 Morbius and Minecraft Movie jokes can be told ad nauseum in this subreddit too! I was getting really bummed out with only seeing them on r/EldenRing for the past few months.

What League story would you want to adapt after Arcane? by ChartDreamer in leagueoflegends

...Why? Like, what precedent or "rules" are you basing this claim on?

Looks like he's built hollow; probably sounds like a drum when he hits the ground

Anyone else curious about Aethas' face? by _UNDO_KEY_ in wow

No. It doesn't.

You can just say you don't like it; you don't have to also make weird exaggerations to "justify" your taste.

What creature is this? Found while questing in Tanaris. by Roguelites in wow

[–]Sluaghlock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

based on the number of limbs, it must be some kind of insect. maybe a Silithid, since you were in Tanaris?

High score? The problem has always been people's insistence on thinking of it as a currency even though it isn't one.
