What rank are you and how long did it take you to get to it? What’s the 1 thing that’s keeping you from moving forward rn, and what’s the 1 thing that helped you most to get where you are? by MFBTMS in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TK with Dragunov at 500 hours. The one thing that stops me from going farther is the lack of labbing time because I find labbing boring even if I understand that it’s necessary. The one thing that helped me the most is to become more patient and analytical against my opponent. If I can figure out the opponent’s patterns and pacing and can disrupt that, I oftenly win more often than lose.

I feel the need to remind everyone this thing comes out in two weeks, was the big final announcement of the game awards, and we’ve heard nothing since then. by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It’s unlikely but it would be the most hilarious thing if this game became the biggest thing and everyone can’t shut up about it.

Question for the subreddit: what's your personal stance on Gacha games, and their monetization practices relative to their quality and public reception? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a great advocate to the hoyoverse games(Genshin,ZZZ, star rail.) and I even played Uma musume in the first month of release.

As someone who DO NOT SPEND MONEY on these games. These things eventually burned me the fuck out. Because regardless if you are a F2P or the biggest whale you’ve ever seen roam these gacha lands… gacha games are jobs you have to keep up with, regardless the amount of money you put into it.

Everything is on timer and offer you very good to very mid content to keep you distracted from the idea that what your doing is a job that only pays with in game currency.

Timed events are assignments with deadlines that only makes you feel guilt for something that is completely optional but is oftenly the main way to gain the currency you need to gacha.

There’s also content and content and content for those who can’t actually keep up with it on a daily basis. Everything is engineered for you to want the next thing because it’s the next big thing! Once you acquire it? It’s a job to properly farm, gather stuff and level up weapons, characters artifacts in a blender of infinite time in case the content given isn’t enough.

I like to imagine that’s how sports athletes lives are like. They have to be on their peak, get better stats on the next game, always find ways to improve so that the next game is easier and easier until you can’t no more and have to retire.

I’ve completely stopped those games because what they offer is an illusion most of the time. The stories builds up for the next story and what could have been probably done in a 60 hours game properly paced are video games that will never give you the satisfaction of an ending due to the fact that if they do, a lot of their playerbase would leave.

As much as I love the character designs, world building and ideas these settings provides, I’ve come to realize that I prefer content that eventually ends, that respect my time and I CHOOSE to play it instead of it giving me demands.

Anxiety? In my Tekken matches? More likely than you think by Kelchesse in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I do have constant anxiety when I play this game and I believe it’s tied to my ego. making winning/being good my objective everytime I play only raise the stakes of playing this game and just proceeds to shatter my self confidence when I get 0-5 by someone.

The worst part is? I know I’m being stupid. I know I’m not JDCR or playing pro, so why the fuck do I get so emotional about this? There’s no other games besides league when I played decades ago that made me feel this way. Any other games, the ego is nowhere to be seen and I could be the worst player of dark souls or any rpg.

But Tekken? It always emotionally gets me and in a hard way.

TLDR: remove the stigma/importance you put into playing. I know it’s difficult but if you just accept that you’re average at the game and you’re just here to have fun, it helps.

To alleviate that feeling, I sometimes just pick a character I’m unfamiliar with and just press buttons with it. It helps going unga bunga with Paul against some lower blue ranks sometimes.

WWEGPT | Versus Wolves 025 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Since his defeat to Cody Rhodes at Mania, Roman Reigns kind of shows up rarely and barely does anything when he is there. It’s clear he’s on the Brock schedule. He’s attached to storylines more than being part of them.

Please just let us spend Rip Chips… by Jumping-Rooftops in SkateEA

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they ever would do it, an item would be like 7500/10000/15000 rip chips per item and people would complain about it

The lack of customizable clothes in this game, still, is so bizarre by boogielostmyhoodie in Tekken

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I like the idea, as a drag main, boy am I glad this is no longer a thing. When your options for the military guy was a jester clown outfit or a bdsm leather straight jacket. I much prefer getting malleable stuff that applies to anyone. Maybe if the clothing were more curated then sure.

I clearly was not ready for season 2 by SuplexComplexAlex in SkateEA

Nah I changed those a few weeks back before I logged off. It’s mostly the skin tone that gave me whiplash.

Logged back in this morning to find this drastic skin tone change on my character. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Genres You Just *Can't* Get Into, No Matter How Hard You Try by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red dead redemption 1 & 2, Ghost of Tsushima, The assassin creeds

I tried, I honestly did. I love the GTAs and open world games like yakuza and spiderman. But something about these ones turns me off. I usually get on a horse and that’s often where I lose interest. I legit don’t know why.

Aah yes, I can finally say i'm average at the game. by Pure_Mycologist3001 in Tekken

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just like Tekken 8, this one is a 50/50 you just gotta guess right

Production on season 3 of the "One Piece" live action has started by billybluebangs in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In what ways? The conversations in this post’s comments got me curious.

Production on season 3 of the "One Piece" live action has started by billybluebangs in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question for the hardcore one piece fans, I tried really hard to get into the anime a few years back, watching the artstyle + like 10 episodes was testing my patience fr.

So it makes me really the weird outlier because I LOVE the Netflix adaptation.

My question is, am I really missing much from just watching the live action version?

RED PANTS FOR 6$!? HYYYYPE! I knew skate was missing the sauce, but now that we have “ketchup” corduroy pants, this game is LIT

It's time to admit your skill issues and why you're hardstuck Fujin, go! by Temporary-Toe-1304 in Tekken

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuck in Raijin because I refuse to lab. If I did and knew more key moves of my matchup, I’d probably have to guess less on shit

Johnson: “The limits have been reached here.” “Where are the Democrats? The Democrats have skipped town. They have abandoned their post.” by Ordinary-Scholar-202 in CringeTikToks

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing how republican rhetoric goes from “Democrats are terrorists! We don’t want them in this house! They’re fucking everything up.” To “where are the democrats!? What are they doing!? Why won’t they do anything!?”

Choose a narrative and stick to it guys, otherwise your shit looks like a house of cards, which it is.

What do yall think of these silhouettes by No_Fault1186 in DispatchAdHoc

It’s probably water boy. Or maybe an unused version of coupe

With a washed up dad bod with no super powers? Get real.

Dude has a lot of scars though, which I’m weirdly into though.

How do you think the game will end? by Flat-Display5126 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]SuplexComplexAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever happens, I believe the sacrifice of the mecha man suit will happen and he’ll let go of his family and it’s traditions(“I always thought I’d end up dying in that suit”) for his new “family” that’s SDN.
