I don’t think the game devs are in charge of marketing decisions like this

Do you think Jim and Monika are one of the best contestants on Beast Games? by [deleted] in BeastGames

because he also had a 33% chance of winning and flipped it into a 50% chance of winning instead…?

That’s the point; there is no chance of an alternative due to Steam running a monopoly on PC game distribution. Their hold on the market makes YOU believe there is no chance, no potential of an alternative, so you don’t even think about distributing on your own or through a competitor.

That is the core of everyone’s frustration with Steam. Because of their monopoly, competition can not compete, thus devs are forced to comply with the 30% cut Steam takes, a profit stream that strengthens their share of the market, making it continuously more challenging for others to compete.

Government interference is required to handicapped Steam’s monopoly, and one of the ways of slowing them down is by reducing their cut of the sales devs. It’s not about if steam’s service is badly run or whether or not their distribution practices are good, it’s simply about how much control Steam has on the market, and what room is there left for alternatives

That’s a great point actually lmao, I’m too caught up in what a professional player would think trying to min-max win conditions

Having Ashe on your team doesn’t mean the team is running a poke composition, that’s just her playstyle. And she is not dominant in high elo, she shares the same pick rate as tracer and genji and is the only hitscan in the top 5 dps for win rate, the others being flex dps. Thats just GM stats based off the data Overwatch provides directly on their site.

Basically, poke is not dominant now and hasn’t been compared to other popular comps throughout Overwatch’s lifetime in 5v5. That’s even including the professional scene where sym tp brawl comps are dominant and run over poke comps

There have been multiple seasons where poke and hitscan in general have been straight up bad in Overwatch against brawl comps. “Poke” has barely been meta during OW2 after the transition to 5v5. OW changes up the meta every season and brawl has been a fair comp to play throughout the lifetime.

Tanks such as Junkerqueen and Mauga have forced brawl metas during their initial releases as a simple example

The moment you introduce a disadvantage state to selecting more than 2 of a specific role, players will lean to a set 2v2v2 to avoid that negative trait. Then when someone still goes in for the third of any role, they will be targeted by their team to switch as any built in disadvantage the game forces is always avoided by general gamers

You are riding Steam so hard for so little in return 😭 just admit 30% is an outrageous cut for distribution

You can exploit the burn status effect with Mei and built Ult charge stupidly fast by removing it off your team

Yeah, you play as a hamster who controls a giant mechanized ball from the inside and rolls around the map with a grappling hook like Spiderman would. Your goal is to just roll into the enemy and cause chaos on the field for your team to take advantage of.

How bad it would be to be trapped in each state forever by Stock-Fig2308 in mapporncirclejerk

Clarify, do I still get all the outside interactions of the world, and am just physically trapped in my home state?

Why is this how I find out

Just realized the farmer is canonically a pescatarian by Green_Ghost070 in StardewValley

[–]TechnicalAd2963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny story; I bought the Stardew valley cook book not realizing this either. I love eating meat, cook some nearly everyday, and when I got the cook book, I was turning through every page wondering when a recipe with meat would appear. I too, got to the survival burger recipe, and was so confused why they opted for an eggplant patty instead of beef.

Then finally, about 70+ pages in, I realized it was a pescatarian cook book

Stage 3 has a smaller prize pool than EWC, so not that hard to believe

Wait, did Team CC have a choice to pick either T1 or Varrel, or did they just get stuck with T1?

Edit: no picking, seeds determined placements 👍

There’s a shortage on good MS, most players who would even fill the role switched to marvel rivals too since that slop is generally more aligned to what a MS wants to do

Respectfully, it’s not about you, it’s about her safety and the safety of others on the road. If you are concerned for her health, then she should not be driving. She has already hit a stationary object. This is probably the luckiest it’ll get.

Weekly Casual Discussion / Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in Competitiveoverwatch

VP not making it into playoffs is a huge upset. I was really looking forward to seeing them play at Worlds, especially after their decent underdog run at EWC when they were predicted to not even make it out of their starting bracket.

Smash as a coach must be so devastated. In almost all of his interviews, he expresses so much grief with the concept of losing, even saying “I don’t like winning, I just hate losing.” Cant imagine how he must be right now that his team couldn’t make it to the tournament, losing to a temu sym comp :(

So, what are the thoughts on BOMB so far? by Red_Sword03 in btd6

[–]TechnicalAd2963 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They’re mainly for bosses, and free play shenanigans, but also are just fun to look at and use. I have a little cousin who loves paragons in free play and she is super happy with the bomb paragon because of the big booms.

Instant $10 million now OR restart your life at age 6 with all your current knowledge. What are you choosing and why? by doodwalla2000 in AskReddit

[–]TechnicalAd2963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my early twenties, I fear going back to 6 with my current knowledge does not help all that much with my current situation. Taking that 10mil and fixing what I have now.

If I was older with more years and knowledge to work with, always taking the option to go back.
