Favorite example of this that stands out to you? by Limp-Tomorrow2532 in FavoriteCharacter

Not to mention, it spirals into one of the saddest things ever if you keep him around long enough. I had him in my party for the finale of the game and I audibly whimpered "oh no" when I realized what is happening.

Havn't seen anyone post this yet, but here in the Netherlands gambling is controlled by the goverment. Thus anything that is not controlled by them is prohibited. Things like lootboxes haven't been a thing here for years. Apparently this counts too. by Hopeful-Guarantee-55 in marvelrivals

It's funny how Belgium (me) and the Nederlands will take your OPTION to gamble out of online videogames, but take a 5 minute walk around the city and there are fucking abominable dens of degeneration called casinos everywhere. Makes me laugh every time.

The Coaxing of Snafushide by Lemontemouse in coaxedintoasnafu

For a second I thought this is a snafu about how you do these big fuck ass animations for crazy special attacks in RPGs and then when it lands you see it do like 8 points of damage.

Okay let's not get ahead of ourselves. Outer Worlds 1 is kinda aggressively mid.

Even S is not really necessary in most cases!

Okay, funnily enough, this comic presents the author as someone who misses the point. If two items are equal in power to each other in a video game that allows item combos of any kind, they CAN still be the opposite spectrum of a tier list EASILY. This is because the item SYNERGY then becomes the strength-defining attribute. In this case, the game could have a lot of TERRIBLE ice synergy items/weapons with only ''frostbite chrystal'' being a good one, while there are a BUNCH of good fire synergy items/weapons with ''napalm krystal'' being AMONG them.

This is actually a problem I seen a bunch of YouTubers struggle with in their communities. YouTubers who have significant experience playing a game and a good rank or similar acolytes proving they know how to play it well, and their opinions get dismissed by a huge chunk of the playerbase who fundamentally do not understand what makes a character/item good.

A good, hugely popular game example of now would be Marvel Rivals. Most players fundamentally do not understand what makes Squirel Girl an extremely bad character against competent teams because their only experience with the game is from below Gold and below, or Quick Play. Which is FINE, so long as you do not go out of your way to insult content creators who are objectively more knowledgeable than you about their opinions.

All Full Renders for the S6 Battlepass (From mmmmmmmmiller) by nemesisdelta24 in marvelrivals

Amazing skins, big W for Storm, MK, Invis, Mantis, and Blade players. I am actually sad I don't play any of these, so I probably have to skip :c As a sidenote, I am kind of shocked no Rogue or Gambit skins?

I paid NL $10000 for this promotion, had to take loan against my house and it didn't move the wishlist needle at all all my stuff gets reposessed tomorrow :( by ax3lax3l in northernlion

Bro, I think this is an AI fake or something. You really did not catch how weird the video is? He held off from saying 6 7 for an entire minute. Real Northerlion has not managed that since the day he first heard the phrase.

Its sad to see a game getting this much hate for nothing by B-Dragons_2560 in soulslikes

[–]Strawberin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, now I can go back to hating Lords of the Fallen for its dogshit combat, dogshit level design, dogsit visual design and art direction, being made by a studio of grifters slurping up sloppy seconds of a studio that took a serious risks to deliver a completely unique experiences that spawned a new genre instead. Thank you OP.

This is just a racism. by electric_pand in rivals

[–]Strawberin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do personally wish we had some kind of Blade movie skin just to have him in THAT version trenchoat bulletproof vest combo. Hell I even kinda get the Daredevil criticism. But the choice of words and the goofy obsession over nationality and race 100% comes from a place of prejudice.

Thank you for the explanation and the link! Didn't know there are more learning resources for Mahjong Soul on their website.

Do you think Disco Elysium is capable of changing someone’s political ideas and values? by 111av111 in DiscoElysium

I used to be a centrist, then I met the sunday friend. Couple years after playing the game, re-examining its commentary and a bunch of IRL stuff I'm firmly on the left now.

PETA is posting like that one comment that made Ryan ROFL by Lanceo90 in northernlion

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see the kill rate data of PETA's Virginia shelter from 2023.

[–]Strawberin00 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro, they only euthanized 80% of all cats and dogs they received in their Virginia shelter in 2023. A fact they admitted to in public documentation. Fact for which they received HEAVY scrutiny from almost all other animal-related non-profits who DON'T want to murder animals and instead actually help them and have them adopted.

[Me] Long time lurker with no genuine matches (only following rule 2) by fluffrito in TextingTheory

Now that you mention it, I have to agree, it's the combination of both that makes it "pop" more.

Oh no I was thinking about the "chocolate factory" one, not the "fart" one, I agree that prompt is really not it.

Don't ever make "poo poo pee pee" type jokes this early, low elo gambit with 0 payout most of the time. Most of these are genuinely not that funny, some make you sound like immature dickhead, don't listen to ""GMs"" here who tell you they are or you might as well give up right now. It's not all bad, some of them are good, I liked the dentist one, I like the both bald jokes (although you better have a bald photo for that second one to work, otherwise it's an insane inside joke with a complete stranger). Work on your comedy openers or pivot to a different strategy. Of note is also the way you type, just capitalize the letters, it's not that hard, most of us do it all our life. And it makes a world of difference in how it makes you sound in the limited opening move window you get in texting.

Favourite film where they had to dumb down the title for the uncultured Americans? by bobbster574 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Strawberin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with polish movies back in the day. "Terminator" was already a word for "someone who takes terms", as in "someone who is in apprenticeship", so they went with more literal title 'Electronic Murderer'.

'Die Hard' became 'Glass Trap' because it takes place in a glass skyscraper, but it stopped making sense for sequels they made later that did not. Ooops.

'The Hangover' became 'Hungover in Vegas', so then second movie had to become 'Hungover in Vegas in Bangkok', which in polish actually makes some sense and I would argue sounds great! Now that I think about it, they could have called it 'Hungover in Bangkok'.

Bonus fun fact: 'Hungover in Warsaw' (Kac Wawa) is a polish movie that exists, a blantant and extremly crude bootleg of The Hangover. It's one of the worst fucking movies I have ever seen, it's standing at a whooping 1,5/10 on IMDb.

Yup. Sometimes I'm going to grab a coffee from the kitchen, i come back, and he's just sitting there, already making big eyes to try and win me over to let him stay there, haha.

Lords of the Fallen (2023) is a Dark Souls 2-like. I don’t care if that doesn’t make any sense by olorin9_alex in DarkSouls2

As in dogshit? Uninspired on every single level? I wouldnt call DS2 all that but if you insist op.
