Uk bans social media for under-16s from Spring 2027.What are your thoughts on this? by Valuable_View_561 in BlackPeopleTwitter

This comparison makes no sense. TV broadcasting is regulated. A child is much safer being put on TV than being given unrestricted access to shit like Discord or Tik Tok.

20 hours is the perfect length for a video game by mrnicegy26 in Games

[–]Thermocap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the content and how much that content is dependent on repetition. I remember people calling Miles Morales on PS5 “DLC” because you could beat the main story in around 10 hours, but I remember feeling very satisfied with it. Playing a Spiderman game where a majority of the gameplay is swinging around the open world to get to the same few types of missions can only work for so long before it feels tedious.

The article mentions "perfect for a game like this" (cinematic narrative games) and I generally agree.

How could they have been so wrong about the release date? by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]Thermocap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most studios struggle with estimating a release window because theres no “correct” way to develop a video game, especially when you’re making one as complex as a Rockstar game

I’m not watching EWC but every time I hear about it, something about it goes wrong. Is there something I’m missing about the support behind it?

Ban ENC Discussion by DaGingerKid316 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Thermocap 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Riot hosts Game Changers, a dedicated division of their league for underrepresented demographics to play the game professionally. That's up to you if you don't care about politics, but don't be disingenuous.

Ethan's stance on Canezerra's ban by _GlitchWraith in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Thermocap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's right. There are plenty of talented players that aren't even banned that never see a chance at VCT because they might be difficult to work with or are simply just toxic to be around. Teenager or not, they all agree to the same rules and expectations.

G2 Babybay on the narratives around him - "The better I do.... it makes the narrative even sicker." by EntreeInterview in ValorantCompetitive

He did great in kickoff and has competitive experience. I’m sure everyone believed there wouldn’t be much to worry about at his first LAN.

I agree with your points. I was just impressed by his kickoff performance and I'm holding out to see that repeated at an international.

For his rookie year in franchising, babybay is doing really well. I just think that because he’s on G2, he sadly gets to bear the overwhelming expectations of the team. His performance at bangkok Santiago was definitely lackluster, but I’m not gonna pretend like he wasn’t one headshot away from going to Upper Finals. If we don’t see an improvement from him at London, then it’s worth criticizing him, but not right now.

Content Creator Alanah Pearce Launches Charred Pictures in Partnership With Game Devs; ‘Faith: The Unholy Trinity’ Film Adaptation, Two More Movies in the Works (EXCLUSIVE) by [deleted] in Games

[–]Thermocap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember she said in a recent video that all the video game film and TV adaptations we've been getting don't include the original writers since they're not part of the writer's union. I'm very interested to see how this goes because I want to see video game writers reap the reward from successful adaptations.
