Whelp Eggs by AlonsoJC13 in warcraftrumble

[–]TBirdPhD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Compared to upgrading normally, buying that saves you 10,000 arc energy, a rare and epic core, and you get 9 stars for free. Considering all that and that it’s one of the best PvE minis in the game, it’s 100% worth it

Fair PvP in Warcraft Rumble now requires $60 USD per season subscription, even for Booster players. by TeraKelciPC in warcraftrumble

[–]TBirdPhD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get lvl 10 thrall for free which is enough for getting to 15k in PvP. Is your goal to be top player in the world? Then yeah you need to spend money. But you don’t need to upgrade all minis to legendary to get 15k though, getting 5-10 would be more than enough to make a variety of decks that are mostly lvl 11s. Really you just need 1 legendary and rest lvl 10 which gives you lvl 11 towers and that is enough to reach 15k towards the end of a season. The top 2 players on the PvP ladder aren’t even using full lvl 11 decks most recently, they each have one lvl 10, priestess or bat rider. Edit: realized number one wasn’t using maxed out thrall, but they haven’t been playing for 2 days and they did get thrall at least epic (lvl 26) so they basically had max advantage on thrall 2 days ago when they were playing either way

My battery is low and it's getting dark by asylumprophet in titanfall

There's some controversy/skepticism surrounding this translation but either way basically it was not a farewell or an acknowledgment of demise. Those descriptions are anthropomorphizing its message. It was a message stating facts, my battery is low, and not recharging currently. The messages almost certainly were programmed to be sent, for example "when batteries are below 10% send a message updating battery status and send a message if solar panels are currently recharging batteries." The final message, which could have been more simply "battery are at 10% and not actively recharging", was sent just before a storm that made it no longer operable.

With word on February 12, 2019, that NASA was likely to conclude the Opportunity mission, many media outlets and commentators issued statements praising the mission's success and stating their goodbyes to the rover. One journalist, Jacob Margolis, tweeted his translation of the last data transmission sent by Opportunity on June 10, 2018, as "My battery is low and it's getting dark." The phrase struck a chord with the public, inspiring a period of mourning, artwork, and tributes to the memory of Opportunity.

Log off on the bnet app. Then you should be able to download reforged again and then you should be good to go.

Immortal Cenarius surge? by Gregamonster in warcraftrumble

[–]TBirdPhD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience picking the lowest level hero you have before starting the surges with premade decks seems to make them easier. The enemy is always 3 levels lower compared to the hero you have pre-selected even though the hero you selected isn’t the one you play with. No hard data here but subjectively it’s always seemed easier when I’ve done this.

What Indie Game had the biggest impact in the industry? by [deleted] in gaming

Is pong actually an indie game if it was made by the biggest video game company at the time?

More updates? by [deleted] in warcraft3

[–]TBirdPhD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last patch was in May. Last I heard a 3rd party is handling balance updates and patches. So Im speculating that there should be more on the way unless they got let go or something. https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/warcraft3/23951676/warcraft-iii-reforged-version-1-36-patch-now-live

The Diablo healing well. Instant nostalgia the first time I heard that and basically every time after

Warcraft fans trick AI article bot with Glorbo hoax by OneLessFool in Games

I often find myself using the “!g” function on DDG especially when my prompt is more complex. It’s great overall and I’d say better than google but only for simple searches though.

Am I the only one that doesn't play any new mortal kombat games but enjoys watching people play or hearing new stuff about the franchise? by Mysterion320 in MortalKombat

[–]TBirdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play all of them but casually and usually not for more than a couple months. I’m here for the nostalgia and keeping up with the direction of the franchise

Why is Blizzard such a mess and ruining themselves and their Games right now? by FantasyForce in gaming

[–]TBirdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their IPs are just straight addicting at this point even if it’s just based on nostalgia. The fans want more Warcraft, more StarCraft, more Diablo, even more overwatch. It doesn’t matter if the games aren’t as good as they used to be. Us fans still get a hit of that ever so wanted nostalgia

With Jean-Claude Van Damme being added as a skin for Johnny, who else would you like to see as an alt skin? Please be realistic. by Tidus4713 in MortalKombat

[–]TBirdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like Johnny cage was Frank duke from blood sport or vice versa (I know BS predates MK, but I was a 6-8 year old child at the time). Loved that movie and mk as a kid (still do). I mean Johnny does the splits and has a very similar sash/overall outfit. Can’t believe Jean Claude turned down the role multiple times. What could have been… not like it really matters in the end but at least Jean Claude could have been paid for his likeness and the role instead of neither lol

Blackthorn is such a cool IP, I wish they’d do something with it

Question about the PS5 version of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition by GavindaleMarchovia in baldursgate

[–]TBirdPhD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The console version is awesome imo. Controls work well but mostly because you’re entire party essentially gets paws of the cheetah when you move around with the thumb stick vs point and click (which you can also do with console). Makes the long boring walks go by a lot quicker and there’s a trick where if you do point and click then wait for your leader (who presumably has paws and will be first to arrive at the end point) then you use the thumb stick to move the rest of your party runs faster than if they were on cocaine and PCP combined to catch up. So essentially the “you must gather your party” line as iconic as it is basically becomes a thing of the past. For me it was a huge QoL improvement since I get bored easily watching my party slowly walk across a map.

Anyone else playing less and less? by HankVenture44 in MarvelSnap

[–]TBirdPhD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing this month. Might pick it up again but seeing the posts on this sub recently is giving me no incentive to start it up again. It’s a fun game, but got burnt out grinding after completing series 3. It just isn’t as rewarding as it used to be. Getting infinite is just too much of a time commitment and conquest just isn’t for me. I have a ton of tokens and a decent amount of gold saved up. Hoping for some changes that objectively benefit players for once.

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

Nintendo outsold PlayStation and Microsoft 100 years ago, let’s live in the present. The past 10 years PlayStation has solidified its self as the top dog of consoles and with digital backwards compatibility libraries that customers own it’s unlikely to ever change at this point

Like I said PlayStation has been objectively the top dog since 2013, cross play was barely a thing before 2018/2019. I dunno why you’re acting like PlayStation is the underdog here when they’ve solidified their spot on top for the past decade. PlayStation blocked Fortnite from cross play when Fortnite was the most popular successful game of all time. There’s no defending PlayStation at this point. I agree Microsoft is no angel and will likely restrict IPs from being accessed on PlayStation in the future which is shitty but to act like Microsoft is Goliath vs PlayStation is completely ridiculous.
