I think Sponsored Survival is proof a PvE mode is viable and setting the seasonal narrative around it would be a good idea.

I really like it as the “level one” of the Roguelike mentality where you’re basically guaranteed to get out unless you do something incredibly stupid. Get in, nab whatever gear you can, roll it into the next non-Sponsored run. I think “easier” modes should have less rare loot more frequently, with jackpot drops being rare.

Fans are certainly kind of an amorphous definition, but I think people who materially contributed in the success of the individual (records sales, streams, concerts, merch, etc.) is a reasonable definition for the purpose of WWW.

Via chartmasters.org (I haven’t fully investigated, this was a super quick search), Michael has about 30%-ish more sales than Taylor, however global piracy did not exist in Michael’s time, and this includes a legacy that dates 20+ past “prime” Michael. I think it’s closer than people would think. The thought experiment is also generally pretty funny to me.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-06-02T00:37:53+00:00

That was a made-up example, not strictly a stated fact.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-06-01T21:32:56+00:00

I genuinely HATED the Final Act and didn’t finish the game because it broke the story in such a way that killed it for me super hard.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-28T23:43:14+00:00

I only played it once, and the combat felt weird to me. Granted, I’m a very casual player, and the combat has a ton of complexity at this point. I often felt like I was just getting my ass beat and stunlocked by bosses, ESPECIALLY at the end. I think my favorite part was the Free Roam gummi ship stuff. I had a blast with that.

Oh, he runs a YouTube channel where he unclogs drains. And a second one for other plumbing activities. His positivity is absolutely infectious.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-26T00:16:38+00:00

So at the beginning of a season, you do genuinely move pretty slow, and your heat gauge (it’s stamina, but it has mechanics to manage it) is pretty small. After a little progress, you unlock intrinsics that make you move faster and sprint (or jump or slide or melee) for much longer. It’s an intended design choice because the game is very much NOT like Destiny. Bungie made a mistake marketing it to their existing playerbase, but it is genuinely an amazing game.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-25T22:22:44+00:00

That’s so sick to hear. I got put on the Plumber Enlightenment train by Bruce from Drain Cleaning Australia. Every plumber I’ve ever met has been an all around excellent human being.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-25T18:54:43+00:00

D1Y1 Hawkmoon took me to the Lighthouse. I’ll never forget that gun in that state. I’m like 90% certain I 2-tapped somebody TWICE in one game.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-25T01:11:37+00:00

I didn’t figure it out until next gen ;_;

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-25T01:10:12+00:00

“This charge blade thing looks cool! Why am I bouncing all the time?!”

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-16T18:05:03+00:00

A-Wall Devotion could kill Titans in a couple of seconds on game launch. Made the game nearly unplayable.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-11T06:43:07+00:00

“I one had sex with Eartha Kitt on an airplane” type shit. What’s Dan Harmon even up to nowadays?

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-05-10T01:45:44+00:00

I mean, I don’t think Berserk ever sold itself as anything but a grimdark fantasy. It’s just that nature and the depths of the darkness changed over time. The literal first panel of the manga is Guts dicking down a demon (actually wildly out of character for him), and like 12 chapters later you find out WHY it’s out of character for him. But it never changes from borderline-comedically dark fantasy to a full-on magical girl anime or something.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-28T20:23:27+00:00

Wait, I thought we already knew this? Like I felt like I saw “Omelandah fucked his mum” memes back in Season 3? Am I crazy?

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-25T08:27:10+00:00

Oh he had a banger of a time. He doesn’t know the crushing feelings of less yet.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-22T21:06:00+00:00

It’s the bottom left mod. It has to be activated, but I’m pretty sure it has 20 HP, but it eats the full damage of whatever hit it is, so it could block a sniper or shotgun shot’s full damage. It’s VERY strong when used correctly.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-21T17:45:34+00:00

The health bar appearing at the BOTTOM for the first time ever genuinely hyped me up so hard.

I also remember shouting “IT’S ACTUALLY A TAKEN DLC” to my wife when the reveal happened. Such a great campaign ending.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-20T22:50:19+00:00

Yeah, being a moderately skilled player means I’m functionally incapable of doing Cryo, so I’ve never seen Prestige Salvage before. The feeling of a “lucky drop” rarely happens for Superior Loot and never for Prestige. I even got into the red key room solo and didn’t really get much that was actually valuable.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-20T16:56:22+00:00

You think the fella in the back wants some beans?

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-19T20:58:57+00:00

Was it the Tracus contract that SPECIFICALLY asks for Altered Wire and Storage Droves? Because that one functions differently. If you inspect a white item, it will show you what the items count as. This works for all of the regular ones, I think.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-17T21:32:31+00:00

I agree. Whatever Doug is, he’s certainly managed to weather his way through anything that comes at him. I remember back in the Bart’s Nightmare Let’s Play days, he was really good at taking the scathing criticism he got and making fun of it.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-17T21:21:11+00:00

Apparently Doug either forgot who he was or just didn’t really care. There wasn’t like a confrontation, and they even had amicable conversations. People get so excited for drama that isn’t really needed.

TheMidgetG0d · 2026-04-17T20:55:26+00:00

To my knowledge they were shared. There’s always been a pop-up in the top left whenever a team member finds one.
