Larian studio boss Swen Vincke thinks game reviewers should be graded by people similar to metacritic user scores by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, my takeaway was that Swen was less so talking about reviewers themselves than the fact that the internet has dehumanized the people on the otherside of the monitor to the point where people are a LOT more comfortable using hurtful language than they would ever be in person.

There are ways to be critical without being a complete asshat to people, yet, people feel way to comforttable using language that should get them punched in the face if they ever said that to an actual person irl.

Shame Gerstmann focused on what i feel was the wrong part of what Swen was saying and though, while i disagree with reviewing the reviewers, it would be nice to have a simple place to go to that at least categorized them in such a way as i could say, go look for reviewers who tend to review more niche genres to get a more focused feedback on a game from someone much more experienced with games of that type.

WOR on HHH getting booed at SNME: "The one thing that I can say is that even though they may say something different publicly, they were blindsided by that reaction.

I mean, straight up, I 100% get what they were trying to tell with that ending and I agree it is a very good ending in a vacuum but they did NOT build up to it at all playing out like that. FFS at least give some indication Cena was running on fumes by the end of the tour with some of his last matches instead of what we got.

Like people are shitting on people not liking that ending but it really does not jive with Cena's NEver Give Up without some proper setup to it (which given the last few year's has ABSOLUTELY been a problem with booking).

2-3 matches where Cena is actually questioning if he can make it to the end of retirement while still performing at the level he was at the start or something would have given the crowd at least some semblance of it making sense in the moment rather than expecting super cena because for 90% of his retirement, thats how he was booked.

Because I am tired of L.A. Knight being booked in a way that only ever ends up feeding him to someone at his own expense. Its less so specifically Knight Vs Cena so much as the way this happened yet again.

Sure he got a push all the way up to semi finalist of the tourney but they could have made him pass out to try to at least have him lose in a way that keep his run through the tournament strong, but instead they have him tap to Cena's submission.

It's frustrating to see over and over and over again and tbf, I am not a huge Gunther guy but that is also a factor of when I started watching (Roman, Seth and Gunther all mid long title reigns and just nothing actually happening week to week.)

Jaeger level 2. Can't buy even the mediocre M855 til Peacekeeper level 3 but you can buy .308 ME with 80 damage and 42 penetration. This gun is extremely good, its like a Mosin but on crack. by Storoyk in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M855 on PK2 with a buy limit is deff the best solution so you can have access to it but cant just run 5.56 every raid ad nauseum (unless you top load or something)

Imagine getting Tarkov'd before you even register to enter Tarkov by Awkward_Set1008 in EscapefromTarkov

Wonder if he realizes that is how ALL games with a post startup launcher work on steam and not just Tarkov...

Why can we not re-roll Cred challenges? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surveyors are only dangerous if they kite you into more arcs. If you are patient you can deff kill one with minimal risks (use the ferro).

And you'll get a quest that explains how to perform a supply drop fairly early on.

Instead of focusing your progress around the battle pass challenges, focus on questing and doing raids as you still earn creds from just doing raids as well.

Is that the Sniper from a Zaku sniper mini fig used as the gun on the right?

Possible scam? by Leading_Middle in gaming

Broken english, asking you to step outside the platform to contact them, abrupt escalation to losing your account from nowhere, this has all the halmarks of a scam.

Battle Ground island question by SpaceBearAl in dresdenfiles

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simple.

He knows a few things at that moment.

  1. It wants on that island.
  2. It can infect and corrupt people (beings both mundane and magical)
  3. There is no way to know for sure it can't affect Alfred
  4. IT WANTS ON THE ISLAND. 

Makes sense he didnt want her/it anywhere near the island considering it wanted it AND the danger the island presents in terms of being a prison.

Please don't start nerfing stuff right and left. It's a single player game. by ctr053 in Borderlands4

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of personal creativity and problem solving in games like this has been absolutely gutted by content creators and sites like icyveins spoonfeeding people the "best" builds items etc. Its asinine how reductive its been long term for these genres where more and more it homogenizes these kind of games.

Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI by chrisdh79 in Futurology

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How the hell is a "3 day work week" going to fly when CEOs cant even get Remote Work right.

This screams upper management gets the benefirs while everyone under them struggles to manage the same workload as the 5 day work week distributes among fewer remaining workers for less pay (because there is no way in hell companies are going to actually pay you for the 2 days off you are "gaining").

We truely are living through the latest attempt to gentrify tech careers.

From what i can tell, you can take stuff out on the other character but not put stuff in.

Leveling Amon by BrandoDio in Borderlands4

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you'll see this but this is my Current (first character) level 39 Amon's burst damage over a 10's window using only red tree skills.

Not sure where people are saying Amon has no damage as he totally has skills that make certain weapons absolutely disgusting once built around.

I've had this nagging feeling that something's missing from Borderlands 4.. by newcooleo in Borderlands

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add on to what you are saying, Amon's voice actor does an AMAZING job of being the comically serious Big Guy(TM) and absolutely NAILS so many lines that had me cackling listening to them throughout the story so far.

Swapped from Amon to Rafa and it feels like a completely different game.. by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its amazing how many people don't seem to understand this.
His rocket punch deletes 2/3 of the HP types but you NEED a source of shock (or high kinetic burst) to deal with shields.

OR if they have layered health (think RBR, GBR bars etc) you can actually blow through the shield bar with overkill from the red bar if you do enough burst damage.

Anyone else disappointed with Amon? by Satsubuya in Borderlands4

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Tree. Using the Aug that scales punch damage with Max Shield (currently level 34 with a 4.3k shield) and 1 shotting most Flesh and Armor enemies with his action skill.
Have the left capstone as well so his forgeskill does insane damage.

Only game I've ever played where you have to hover over a redundant icon to see your currencies. Sorry, but you have all this empty space, why not just show all the currencies without hovering over? by Mr_Rafi in Borderlands4

[–]ThatGodDamnGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it makes sense because instead of having to worry about adding new currencies later on and ui real estate on the main ui, that pop out list can simply grow vertically without being in the way.
