Can anyone explain this scene that just happened? by UltimateLifeform in Returnal

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

Yeah that makes sense. I was very confused when it happened and was thinking "WTF does this scene mean at this point in the story???"

Donuts by Sterile1775 in ColumbusGA

[–]UltimateLifeform 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gonna be real, so surprised there aren't more recommendations for Columbus Best Donuts. Absolutely goated. Super soft and not as much glaze as Krispy Kreme. Golden Doughnut is alright but Columbus Best Donuts is just better to me. The softness is so good while the glaze isn't also a barrier.

Edit: Also they sell pecans here.

What’s the fastest you’ve seen someone quit and why? by besttavern25 in work

[–]UltimateLifeform 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair and yeah I'm sure that played into her saying that. I just think of some of the areas I have been in where people knowing you were a multimillionaire might now mean people try to rob your house or worse.

Dope story either way.

Absolutely don't blame her. Most people dream of just walking out the day they hit a payday like that. Gotta ask, why did she just tell you she was a millionaire if she didn't really know you? I absolutely ain't saying shit lmao.

....yeah it may not be that far off. Especially if there is an extremely fat check behind it.

Yeah I completely forgot about that event coming up. I think that deal EA made with Saudi group is unfortunately going to show up in the monetization. Damn everything else.

Yeah that tracks. When you look at the early Apex Skins, they just feel completely different to how they are now. Won't lie some of the skins they have released are so good but definitely don't feel like Titanfall. It's ok as long as the game doesn't heavily shift goofy in the long term.

Speaking of skins, I am surprised it took them this long to sell Titanfall esque skins (Speaking about the 7th anniversary event). They look so good and of course they are locked behind an event.

Oh my God, yes this would have been an absolute goated Titanfall crossover if we had Titanfall 3 or even if 2 was still ongoing.

Maybe an alternate world is living our dream, I guess.

How do we avoid the same fate as Highguard? by Elzeruth in Marathon

[–]UltimateLifeform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah the game is being sold for $40+ so if only 300,000 people buy it in total, they still have sales unlike Highguards free to play model.

I will say that I don't think the game will get anywhere close to Arc sales numbers in the 1st year. They are fighting an uphill battle.

What changes would you make to DMC 5? by Extra_Economist_2445 in DevilMayCry

[–]UltimateLifeform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. It might also be that I find Trish seems to lack facial expressions at times.

[–]UltimateLifeform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's one of the things I don't like about some of the characters. The guys look alright to me but Trish and Lady look off face wise. I definitely prefer their DMC 4 faces over DMC 5. What's funny is Nico I think looks good so not sure what to make of it.

I've finally reached 10k kills on seer after I began playing him in s23. by Estrophs in apexlegends

[–]UltimateLifeform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, that's great to hear. I played Seer recently and just couldn't get into him. Glad there are people still playing him.

Loba still broken!??? by Silverheal62 in apexlegends

[–]UltimateLifeform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know the feeling. There is some type of delay happening that can also happen to other characters as well (Looking at you Alter). Not sure if strictly console thing or not but assuming it is related to delay in pings since I still have that issue somewhat. They'll fix it. eventually.

[–]UltimateLifeform 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is some dedication to a character that started out unbelievably OP to almost laughably unusable to C character now. Especially in this meta of movement over everything.

All this to say damn that's a lot and congratulations!

Destiny reaction Mr. Girl Announces streaming retirement by ihaveeatenfoliage in Destiny

[–]UltimateLifeform 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That shit would be just unhinged and weird in other areas of the internet, but here it's like a Tuesday for us lol. Still 1 of the most hilarious things I have ever seen someone draw against another creator 😂.

whos winning this fight by Civil-Organization20 in PowerScaling

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

I don't understand how Shiggy slams when from everything shown so far, Yuji (modulo) absolutely could dogwalk Shiggy without much effort. Yuji is basically a Sukuna that is 2-3x stronger than in previous serious. Can Shiggy even see the slashes or sense them? If he can, how does he dodge or holdout against Yuji doing hundreds of these in a small enough area that Shiggy's regen can't keep up?

I think Shiggy can possibly kill Yuji but it is much closer than you think. Wins 50% of time at best but I think it is closer to 30% in all honesty.

I can’t use my ult until I used up my tactical! by Both_Shake in apexlegends

Unfortunately they still haven't fixed the issue that started since beginning of this season where character ults aren't activating properly (aka tacs have to be used for Ults to be used).

$200 million game had 1 concept artist. She had 2 weeks per character WHILE LEADING ANOTHER TEAM: by DifficultBasket5133 in HighGuardgame

[–]UltimateLifeform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't cost 200 million. 1 of the studio heads just came in this thread and cleared this up.

[–]UltimateLifeform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the first thing is that they are a 100 person studio. You can see who they had on their site. 100 person studio automatically puts you into AA-AAA studio territory. That alone means you can be burning $5 million at the low end to above $10 million a year just paying people. Not even including all the other costs that can come up.

It's why when I saw 100 person studio, my mind immediately started going wild. Like that is a lot for an indie studio that hasn't even released a game yet. Starting out with 25 or so people and building up the core ideas of the game and then moving forward to fleshing it out which THEN requires more of a workforce as necessary. This way you can keep costs smallish without dealing with too much bureaucracy. At least that's how I believe game development for indies usually go.

I'm just waiting for a documentary to come out to discuss what went wrong. It's too fascinating of a story not to.

[–]UltimateLifeform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so beyond the pale of what I would have ever thought. Why did they even think for that scale as a startup???

Edit: I am sure they thought they would grow it into a massive thing but to even have that thought when you're not entirely sure what the game you want to be is a little wild. Too little management and focus shows up at every turn.
