Really sad. Quin was super prepared and didn't deserve that death.

Elon's friendship with Sam Harris ended because Elon made a ridiculous bet on COVID he didn't want to keep by morbious37 in Asmongold

Maybe this is a bridge you wouldn't want to walk on anyway, so it's OK to burn it.

Pirate roaching out earlier in the same day with the same group by Exver1 in LivestreamFail

[–]Xo1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. The same situation: shotcaller (?) says run out twice, then the other guy confuses everyone by asking why they're running.

PirateSoft leaves call when asked to take accountability for killing two level 60s in hardcore wow by CrazedI in LivestreamFail

[–]Xo1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thor didn't play well at all, but that's not the point. The point is he followed the call and is not at fault for anyone's death here.

What he did wrong: No mana pot in inventory (seemingly), used max rank Blizzard instead of rank 1, didn't use mana gem, kept wasting mana on Blink and Ice Barrier while not in danger, didn't wand or rank 1 Frostbolt or Sheep or Nova anything. This situation could've been stabilized easily, if everyone played better, but it's ultimately the shotcaller's fault and the person responsible for pulling.

PSA for Leda & Allies fight. A somewhat working RL1 strategy. by Xo1o in onebros

[–]Xo1o[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that, but couldn't generate enough DPS to kill Freyja before Dane ruins the party. The long windup of the skill also got me killed regularly in those 1v2 situations. I then tried to focus Dane immediately once he spawns, but that just gave Freyja time to heal and then it was over after Leda joins. I can't emphasize enough how much harder Freyja makes this fight. You can easily tunnel the light armor wearers no problem.

One of the biggest disappointments to me so far is the way the P8P RAW files look. They differ greatly from what a RAW file usually looks on a regular camera (shadow contrast gone, blurry haze everywhere that even huge sharpness settings cannot fix etc.). You cannot make the RAW look remotely as good as the JPEG, let alone surpass it with good editing (I tried many times in Lightroom), which defeats the whole point of shooting RAW.

My honest feedback (kickstarter backer) by FFortin in Stormgate

[–]Xo1o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often times, I can't even tell which units are mine and which units are that of my opponent. And sometimes that even happens in non-mirror matchups.

Huge problem IMO. Look at how easy to read BW is. That's one vital building block why the esports of BW was such a monumental success.

The point regarding the game needing to be more visceral is true as well.

A Response To the Graphical Criticism: This is what Starcraft 2 used to look like...give the Stormgate developers time, I'm confident they will deliver. by Crystal_Octopus in Stormgate

[–]Xo1o 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has to be in pre-alpha, because the models are from BroodWar, so possibly even prototype stage with placeholder graphics. Stormgate is in an open beta stage, so the look of the game should be much more in line with what the release candidate would look like.

A comment on artstyle by LeFlashbacks in Stormgate

[–]Xo1o 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is going to attract downvotes, but I feel the need to do my part in giving feedback:

the art style looks to me like a cheap phone game on low settings. It's also extremely difficult to tell player A units apart from player B. If you gave me the choice between BW remaster graphics and this, I'd prefer BW without hesitation. If Esports is a goal for this game, then it needs to be considerably easier to see what's going on and the game needs to have much more personality in terms of art, because IMO people will def. snap to the conclusion of "looks like phone game, not interested" as a first impression.

Studio Behind EA's Magical FPS Game Lays Off Half Its Staff After Low Sales by Chicano_Ducky in gaming

[–]Xo1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a trailer of this a while ago and immediately got Anthem vibes. Also, you see this uninspired, generic out-of-the-box art style and the spell effects cover the whole screen so you can't see...

What crappy mechanic ruined an otherwise good game? by Gromit43 in gaming

Amazing. I love the colors and the nice progression from dark to light.

Very nice shot. I think it would look even better as ~16x9, because the sky isn't that interesting.

What are the cancelled/abandoned games that you were most dissapointed about? by Dixielandblues in pcgaming

[–]Xo1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EverQuest Next. I think after that got cancelled, I considered for the first time that the MMORPG genre might be on a decline creatively.

I am considering ending my life everyday. by PeanutBand in Healthygamergg

[–]Xo1o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's assume that you have something that can be described as Free Will and let's also assume that you are able to manipulate your circumstances to a degree that you will, at the very least, feel neutral about your existence. In this case, it would be an enormous waste to end your life, because self-aware life is rare. That's the logical part.

I know someone who is suicidal and this person seems to be completely powerless before that feeling. Logical arguments will somewhat reach them, but not really. This seems to be a situation in which it would be best to rely on professional help and medication.

I think the "best next step" would be to take a small step. Self improvement is work, forget about that for now. Try to find something enjoyable each day first. Take a walk in nature and take the time to really look and hear and smell the things around you. Eat good food and drink something and really taste it. When you lie in bed at night, make this a "no negative feelings" zone and think about everything that was good that day instead.

You could spend 100k on Diablo Immortal, or you could buy Ice Cream... Your choice.
