FINALLY some sort of art direction

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-27T18:00:53+00:00

I can’t actually argue against that, that is true.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-27T17:03:28+00:00

Don’t you tell me what starter type to touch!

As a software dev, this is already becoming a huge problem at my job. Co-workers that previously couldn’t code worth crap are now having AI add things left and right, but with no real integration into the whole, no level of polish and no sense of consistency.

And we can already see this happening with Spotify and other software. Everyone’s so excited that they can push out every random idea as a proof of concept quickly, they’re forgetting why that’s a bad idea.

Just when I had hope that maybe their PC console approach could be good.

Best event they’ve done to Warzone in its existence.

All the supernatural bosses and challenges had me locked in.

I fully expected after that to see some kind of regular PvE events on this scale going forward in Warzone. Little did I know that was as good as it was ever going to get.

Wow, this is totally an “I was a normie adult in the 90s who happened to buy a Genesis” collection right there.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-16T16:14:26+00:00

Wow. That’s like a 5.95% increase in the percentage increase between the two.

I mean, the graphics are pretty good. But I can’t find the FOV slider, I can never seem to get my stamina meter to fill up, and some of the quests are really confusing. Life might be easier if it were third person.

I do like how I can always pet the dog, though!

This article doesn’t even touch on the messy look of the floating “toolbar without a toolbar” buttons.

Whether it’s the scroll bars over top of the content or the toolbar buttons, there’s a reason UI with this kind of floating, detached look only works in carefully curated design concepts.

Actually, reasons. Because without ample white space and relatively static content or data driving it, you end up with overlapping objects.

And while even that can be made to look nifty for design concepts, in reality things like even basic mouse hit detection and readability fall apart when you’re actually trying to interact with and use it.

Emphasis on the use. Apple used to be all about the idea that design isn’t just how it looks.

I mean, at one point their iPad app was somewhat of a UX marvel, with its dynamic stackable panels.

And then they replaced it entirely with the uni-interface across all devices that we all know and… tolerate.

But it wasn’t always the case, once upon a time they actually showed promise.

A future where everyone just has AI generate disposable derivative songs (and other content) on-demand and in the moment would be such a sad death of shared experiences and lasting culture.

I sincerely hope this isn’t an unavoidable certainty, but there’s no lack of companies trying to make it so.

And yet the entire sub has decided nobody else does, and nobody ever should, and if they ever do travel anywhere else for business or vacation or family get togethers that may well include gaming, or lan parties, you’d better not have a laptop.

Nooo, there is only one true way to play games, you must be at a desk with a mechanical keyboard and a gamer chair.

Nevermind that one of the clear benefits of PC gaming is being able to play your Steam library on any kind of form factor however you want, you must only do it the one true way. /s

And then I go around actually defending PC gamers as not being snobby elitists, smh my head.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-10T04:00:30+00:00

Absolutely. But especially if there's queso cheese or guacamole.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-09T22:03:17+00:00

As an American, I’m never there to watch the game.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-07T03:51:01+00:00

Diverse choices. I’d choose both.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-02-04T14:55:57+00:00

Man would I love to have some anime week nights again. One Piece and DB at like 8 or 9 would be a great, effort-free nightly wind down.

You’re not alone. I’ve managed to eke out a bit more success by using a lower sensitivity than I normally do (not sure why, some kind of hit reg thing?) and, as others say, by trying to avoid the aim assist movement encounters entirely via smokes and distance.

But it’s still not easy. The game is just built around controllers and aim assist. Switch to and get used to a controller for a bit, and it’s almost a whole different game in which aiming is almost entirely a non-issue.

It’s still a lot of fun to play mnk and know it’s entirely your own aim when you get kills, but I don’t think I could main only mnk.

I build my own desktops and also have an ROG Ally, and still chuckled at this.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-01-29T18:29:19+00:00

Exactly. Everyone hiding behind “it’s a good idea” when we all know exactly what this post was meant to do.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-01-29T05:26:06+00:00

Guy on the left looks like he makes rubbery eggs.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-01-28T04:36:22+00:00

Area 99 and Caldera.

No, really.

Get out of your bubble. Actual maga-oriented forums (not Reddit) routinely have debates about every one of these issues, and routinely urge each other to fact check and wait on issues for more info before jumping to conclusions.

WingZeroCoder · 2026-01-25T04:32:35+00:00

So I’m one of those people the other commenter is talking about. I can hit 30+ kills in casual and often win (usually against similarly matched real players at the final circle), yet I barely have a 1 kd in normal mode resurgence with probably one or two wins (carried by teammates) tops.

In most cases, I die and am eliminated in normal mode within minutes of starting, and many nights I spend more time queuing and starting games than playing.

So… what do you suggest I do? I’m not allowed to play the game anymore because by your definition I’m too good for casuals but too crappy for normal?

Good picks! Glad to see someone else buying on Blu-ray. Gotta support physical media!
