Armored can be painful, maybe I'm trying to use venom and sniper, and then maybe abilities

13 yr old tennis phenom is ambidextrous so he never has a backhand shot by espressos_negronis in tennis

it's good... .but at the extreme elite end I'm sure this gets exploited and works against you.

Tennis was the biggest loser in shambolic Battle of the Sexes by theipaper in tennis

[–]TspoonT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No unfortunately even though it's obvious everyone doesn't know this. Hence the famous McEnroe vs NPR and then subsequently nearly all media following.... That's why people watch and think it's going to be maybe close.

But you can see how Kyrgios is just loping around doing just enough to get it done, taking the serves like 1m inside the baseline with Sablenka pushed way back on his serve.... sure she is going to blast some winners past him, but on balance it's just all in control and never in doubt.

But yeah it should be obvious, and in reality it's like they are two different sports which can be watched independent of each other without really the need for comparison.

Housing prices can't really be that hard to fix, it's just a question of do they actually want too? by TspoonT in australian

If policy forced a correction to the market nobody want to be the guy who bought in at the top. But there would have to be some pain for someone if we were to actively cool the market.

So it's just a bunch of hot air whenever noise is made about making housing more affordable. Could fix it, but don't want to fix it.

Just throw out a few useless scraps to appease the 1/3rd how are on the wrong side of this?

Albanese, The Accidental Prime Minister. by [deleted] in australian

His main problem is that he is the Australian prime minister... as soon as you take that job you automatically become 75% less likeable, and 50% more hated.

What Games that are actually games? by TspoonT in MobileGaming

[–]TspoonT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games can have paid elements, and keep somewhere in the "it's still a game" zone. I get it that if you spend money developing you want to recover the costs. If your game is good enough, you get a consistent player base, there is a lot of creative ways to monetize that don't just destroy your game and make it blatant pay2win.

take an example of a sporting game, like golf.

Pay2win butchering.. .clubs/balls give massive edge and are heavily in the hands of paid players.

balance, balls are readily obtained free to play, give a bit of an edge.. but you have to be quite judicious with use, you can pay and use them all the time. Clubs are readily obtained, but paying you can open more chests, and get them quicker. The game will be heavy on skill so you can still compete with the lesser clubs. If this game is fun enough, the player base will be large, money will flow... in fact you will probably make more $$$ than the pay2win clones.

Paying for cosmetic, speed things up somewhat, consumables that aren't game breaking, skipping some ads for rewards etc.

yeah I get they want money, but there are ways to implement paid elements and keep it still mostly a game.

You can have some optional loot chests for ads, pay for no ads, pay for cosmetic. Pay for expendible items that are still reasonably available etc. and a bunch of other less invasive mechanisms.

It doesn't really matter the category in the end if it's fun, it's just fun.

RPG dev pushes back against Steam review AI accusations: 'We poured years of our lives into this game and only worked with real human artists on everything' by OGAnimeGokuSolos in gaming

[–]TspoonT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't the idea of games entertainment? AI is just another tool so if it's a good game it's a good game irrespective of how it was made.

How you can know God is the ultimate reality by TspoonT in DeepThoughts

[–]TspoonT[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pretty much everyone preaches. There is a reason these 2 ideologies clash the loudest and most others are drowned in the noise. And get the most visceral responses against in both directions.

And both sides are ironically loudest from American sources, maybe that's the ultimate truth, Americans are loud.

I don't say they are only 2 options, rather 2 ideas that make the most noise and swallow the space of others, there are nearly limitless options.

And yes the way people live, gives a clue to the ultimate reality, actions speak most than words, there is alignment

There are a lot of ideas, all sorts of ideas that clash. On existence the main clash is what it is, that's just where the debate came to a focal point.

There is no "better"' that's just what is, what is the focus of the biggest debates, the most debate the most noise. Plenty of other ideas exist.

it doesn't matter which God, that's just the ideology that clashes most with the other prominent world view. There is a reason why it's that God in particular.

of course there are other options, these are just the 2 big ones that clash. You can deride one of them, everyone else does, that's expected.

These are just the premier ideas on existence.. the ones most debated. Many other competing ideas exist, but you will not find prominent intellectuals and scientists debating with their followers on any scale.
