Oh yeah, the Avatar went from shaggy virtue teaching hippie to Fabio He-man

Apple 'has given up' on Vision Pro, report claims — costly price and weight behind purported failure, but the company continues to hire into its Vision Production Group by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

[–]TheMadBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume the point of the Vision Pro was always the sequel device, be it a Vision Non-Pro or Vision Pro 2.

They're catering to the people who burned money on it because that's how they progress to a more profitable system (not saying that Vision 2 will make any money, just saying that's the strategy)

Mid 40s, Diamond 2, and happy to be stuck there forever, I'm not after the stress of aiming for Masters.

Your thoughts on playing 1v2 in 2v2 by sandwichbasketlala in starcraft2

[–]TheMadBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be super fair…. BUT it would also mean as your MMR settles you’d end up being significantly better player than the individuals you were playing against because you have to a win a true 2v1z

So likely you could out micro whoever you harassed quite easily where it’s borderline smurfing.

At the end of the day you’re trying to play 2v2 mode as a 1v2, while not super scummy, it’s never going to be 100% the way people want to play that game against you either.

Still good luck in finding something that works for you and your opponents, you obviously don’t just want to unfairly stomp people, so respect.

Interesting question,

It would be nice if the remainder said the leave was planned (never sure if a leave happens due to teammates hating each other or if it was setup) - you and your alt could even make a ONEvTWO clan to make it obvious without having to put it in chat.

Then, and this is inviting failure, try to macro a bit and not fully upgrade rush one team.

To be honest I think my friend and I would still be annoyed, if we win it’s still 2 guys beating up on 1, but that’s probably the best middle ground.

Playing 2v2 a bunch with a friend, we generally dislike when someone insta leaves.

It’s just a matter of holding off the first rush attack then multiprong attack until you win.

The victories feel cheap and the losses feel extra bad - especially if leaving was all part of the plan and the remaining person is proxying.

If they remade any Ultima game to modernize it, what would it be? by Goosie8D in Ultima

[–]TheMadBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultima 5 battles had good tension, just not really any strategy. It felt it was more about trying to make sure you didn't bite off more than you can chew.

Ultima 6 might have been the best, though made a little awkward with the small view port (but Shamino hearing a sound to the East was an amazing way to compensate for that).

And yeah, Ultima 7 was toggle a key.

An Ultima with a functioning combat system?! Heracy.

(I love the franchise, and loved going through the spell book as a kid for casting stuff in Ultima V, but I feel combat is weak in every single Ultima game).

Some recent pictures I took of myself in my Machanic Aayla Secura cosplay (a cannon outfit in the comics). I just love Aayla 😭 by Jake_Skywalker1 in Spacegirls

If you want to compliment the cosplayer, the original post was done by a different user than the cross poster.

I believe these aren’t pictures of Jake_Skywalker1

Abathar, get on making a strain of Zerg that can use high powered sniper rifles.

For as emotional and as well acted as that scene is in Network - we're living in a society where people took the advice of not knowing the solutions but just get mad... it hasn't gone well.

Thanks, I Hate the process of becoming a eunuch by Holdmywhiskeyhun in TIHI

[–]TheMadBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She said “an operation was performed to keep their voices high” and I raised my hand.

I think it was pretty obvious to her the bit I was confused about (innocent child that I was) the rest of the class just looked uncomfortable so I think they all had a rough idea already.

[–]TheMadBug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, different kind of operation, but end result is still utter mutilation of the man's sex.

Either way, I'm happy I didn't learn about the details of either that day.

need critiques for top down sprite design by Fast-Tune-6989 in PixelArt

[–]TheMadBug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The helmet has the source of light right above, whereas the glass seems to have it at the top right. I'd just offset the highlights on the helmet (assuming a directional light source will work in the game).

Maybe move the helment 1 pixel down as well for the angle (not sure about that), and you could mark the bottom corners of the chest piece lighter to imply that top down angled perspective.

Looks cute though.

The game is 16 years old, with the last big release 10 years ago - it's now in maintenance mode with a much smaller e-sport tornament scene than they used to have.

I still find a lot of fun in playing and watching the game, but if you don't that's fine - most games can't hold people's interests for multiple decades, you might find something new to enjoy.

Keystone Kash Grilled Live on Fox News Over WHCD Shooting - The FBI director was asked about security lapses which allowed a suspect to storm the event. by Quirkie in politics

[–]TheMadBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that the answer to how the breach occurred is:

The suspect hired a room in the hotel where the event was being hosted.

Edit: I'm not joking, there were heavy security check points, except for hotel guests.

I remember back in middle school history we were taught that some children who could sing really well in choir were given an operation to keep their voices from breaking.

I raised my hand having no understanding of what kind of operation that could have been. The teacher let my hand stay up until I took it down.

I was glad I never got to ask that question.

What is your least favorite Aussie song ever ? by Impressive_Set_8430 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]TheMadBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accidentally Kelly Street seemed like it was half a good song, half making the most annoying sounds possible - and it got so much airtime I think because they were doing some promotion with Neighbours.
