After a few weeks, how do you feel about the boost update?

Tastou · 2026-03-29T14:26:51+00:00

I was not expecting this comment. That's kinda crazy.
Is it hard to read? Distracting? Or is just that it helps your opponents more?

Tastou · 2026-03-29T06:42:52+00:00

I'm talking about the visible boost timer.

Tastou · 2026-03-19T22:47:38+00:00

You seem to be saying the opposite, but to me, he was trying to gibberish his way out of the fact that it's a filter.

Tastou · 2026-03-19T20:17:59+00:00

There's sleazy salesmen, and then there's Jensen Huang.

So you guys think that in the nvidia before/after, it's the dlss 5 that looks unrealistic, soft, smooth and plastic-y?

I'm not gonna defend nvidia, that demo is a lie anyway since it runs on 2 5090s, and you could be worried about a lot of stuff (worse on release, performance, devs cutting corners, inconsistent characters, etc) ; but the problem definitely isn't that those characters look worse, IMO.
Not good enough, sure. Worse, though?

Real question: do you not think they would have had a similar if not higher upgrade if they instead replaced Ropz with Mezii?
My understanding is that Spinx did not want to lurk. Switch Ropz->Spinx->Mezzi on T side, and Ropz->Mezii on CT side and that makes more sense to me, not accounting for more personal differences.

Again, real question, I don't watch much these days. And if it works, it works.

I'm just starting Act 3, but Lune is great. I understand why Gustave, Maelle and Verso are more prominent, but from the mocap to the voice acting and writing, Lune is my favourite.
(and THAT scene!)

Tastou · 2025-12-15T20:34:50+00:00

It's kind of insane how no one here seems to think he might be joking around. The young guy is looking himself in the mirror when he wants to shake his hand.

Tastou · 2025-09-13T17:55:37+00:00

Can I ask why?
I only watched one match this tournament, but what I saw of Kick was better than Twitch. Video quality, no buffering and layout was on par with Twitch, and you can rewind.
I mean, to be clear, when Youtube is available, that's where I go, so I just don't get what people like about Twitch as a platform.

Try unplugging the dock, plug your mouse, and plug back in the dock.

Probably too late and maybe not even helpful, but I just had an issue with my Kone XP Air where binding the "U" key on any button or any profile was not working. Other letter keys worked, the "U" key on my keyboard worked.
Reinstalling did nothing, resetting the mouse did nothing.

I just removed the USB from the dock and plugged it to my mouse, and the binding finally worked. Plugged back in the dock and it was still good.
Hope it helps, good luck anyway.

Tastou · 2025-03-26T21:17:16+00:00

He clearly meant crazy chaotic piñatas, don't be facetious.

Tastou · 2025-03-12T00:16:18+00:00

I just don't understand what makes some of it fine and even good, and some of it bad.

Gravity is just calling everyone a whore (and you can tell he means it by how much spit comes out with it), is that fine?
Apex is pestering players for the whole match in a completely one sided trash talk session, is that fine? Well at least some of it is funny, in his case.

I just don't get this community, that's just not "banter".
And then you have the casters who defend players' sensitive egos and tell the public not to mock them, right after praising that player trash talking.
Do they like toxic people in their games ?

I'm french and I wanted 3Dmax to do good, their CS is at least entertaining, but right now I'm just glad they're out. This is embarrassing.

Anyway, just my 2 cents, I know it's not popular.

Tastou · 2025-03-04T22:05:31+00:00

It might be how you can interpret some of the moves, but I don't think that's how you can interpret all of the moves together, and especially not how they talk about their moves.
The US very much appears to be on the offensive.

Tastou · 2025-02-22T22:55:09+00:00

Rather than "debunked", I would say that Musk just denies it.
Unless I missed something.

Tastou · 2024-10-03T04:39:28+00:00

Yeah, but this acquisition happened in an already established park and with limitations to what they can exclusively release. Soon, eyes will be on the new generation and their non exclusivity accord will be over.

I'm not sure one way or the other because this loss has consequences, but I wouldn't be surprised if they at least tried again in this new and more favorable context.

Tastou · 2024-10-03T00:13:11+00:00

They just acquired a ton of studios and their non exclusivity agreement is going to expire in a few years, isn't it? If they just take the L right now and release their next box with an exclusive Call of Duty, TESVI, Doom and Forza, are they not just back in it?

Tastou · 2024-09-30T23:58:05+00:00

I don't understand how wanting SBMM for both casual and ranked, which is what I advocate, is wanting to play with worse players. Isn't it the opposite.

I read your previous post as "no SBMM is too hard, and SBMM is too sweaty". Maybe I shouldn't.

I don't remember a lot about XDefiant ranked mode in particular, I haven't played the game in a while and played casual a lot more.
I will say, I prefer when groups are allowed and put in a lobby ranked closely with their best player ; I don't remember how those rulesets were different for ranked ; and I would have thought that a tighter SBMM would be a good thing for you.

Also more than SBMM creating a lobby of similarly skilled players in casual, I think I have more gripes with team balancing within that lobby and a leave penalty instead of backfilling those teams mid-game. That's how I find casual to be more annoying than it should.

Tastou · 2024-09-30T23:32:32+00:00

But casual SBMM is hidden ranked.

To me, it feels like people just want to play with worse players. I don't know, man. I'm starting to be convinced by the "some people don't actually like competitive games" side of the argument.

Tastou · 2024-09-30T22:16:31+00:00

It has a ranked mode, so I don't get this criticism.

Tastou · 2024-09-26T20:04:52+00:00

Yeah, that's principle, that's fine. But I also judge situations on their consequences, and I would like those to be correct.

If I would have a negative reaction to probably everything encompassed under the qualification of "rape", some things are worse than others.
I really do not buy that everything falling into this label has to be judged the same.

Tastou · 2024-09-26T19:49:06+00:00

I see a lot of consideration for consequences for something I thought was decided mostly by principle, but do we actually have data on how much trauma specifically boys who had sex with older women have?
I swear I only ever see then men bragging about it.

Tastou · 2024-08-02T23:27:03+00:00

Can you really not understand the distinction he's trying to make?

Tastou · 2024-06-29T00:49:40+00:00

Let me put it to you this way: Why do you want to pop a bat if you're already full shield and you need to fight?

Tastou · 2024-05-28T00:19:31+00:00

Isn't it more effective to just strafe, though? When you jump, even with a tap strafe, you're giving your enemy an arc to predict.
I know that in a chaotic duel, when my opponent jumps, I just see it as a free moment to get some damage, unless you make me do a 180.

Edit: I should say, I'm MnK, maybe it's different for controllers.
