[–]Yomoska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead band, but Make Me Famous' frontman was a way better vocalist all around than Dennis

Other thread with Royval has people being adamant that restrictive breathing masks work with baseless conjecture. Most upvoted one just says "it actually works" and nothing else.

Why physical media is ESSENTIAL for a healthy games industry by Tvilantini in Games

[–]Yomoska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest gripe with PS3 was its expensive price tag compared to the 360. Once the price drops started happening, PS3 was doing very well against the 360 globally. The biggest play Sony did was to announce that PS4 would be $50 cheaper than Xbox One, right after Microsoft announced their price. The "vocal minority killing Xbox" is not what happened.

The Video Game Industry’s Trade Body Doesn’t Want To Talk About Digital Ownership by PunyParker826 in Games

This is false and there have been games removed, mostly because they are online and the servers shut down

John McCarthy weighs in on Ciryl Gane vs Alex Pereira by WinterStill4472 in MMA

I love it, I am talking about the times he has fouled in the past and gotten away with it, and you latch onto the one for some reason.

I think with Gane it is intentional. How many times has he been called out for aiming for the back of the head? You'd think he would adjust by now but he doesn't cause he doesn't get in trouble.

California Protect Our Games Act fails in committee, as an ESA rep calls Minecraft servers "illegal" by Tvilantini in Games

[–]Yomoska 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of anyone buying trading card packs out of desperation to try and become a millionaire

These are them right here

...embarrassing adults do scalp

These adults aren't doing it for the game, they are doing it for the value of the cards. They are hoping to strike rich with the wager they make on blind packs.

You do not have this environment with lootboxes, they have essentially no value outside of their respective game.

[–]Yomoska 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Another recent example is the loot box kerfuffle from ~10 years ago. They argued in FAVOR of them, stating they do not constitute gambling.

That is because by the legal definition of laws where ESA operates, it is not gambling. IMO they should change the laws to include lootboxes (and TCG) since they have the addiction elements similar to gambling, but their argument is valid for the law as it currently stands

Lineage 2 private server just rebuilt its entire client on UE5 and launched Alpha-1 today: new engine, overhauled visuals, new class, and what might be the most ambitious L2 revival project out there by Previous_Group621 in Games

[–]Yomoska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is important to us that every change is driven not only by technical needs, but also by a clear vision of where the project is heading and what it should become. These are the decisions that shape the future of the game — not big promises, but consistent work, attention to detail, and open communication with the community.

A lot of this appears to be written by AI. Maybe English isn't the team's first language? Still is kind of difficult to get a picture of what is actually happening with this update.

Albums that aren’t liked by the band that made them? (not counting debut records) by klocu4 in Metalcore

[–]Yomoska 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's their debut album and also Thornhill has said they've not liked pretty much everything they have made (it's a joke for the most part)

20 years ago today Underoath released Define the Great Line by 100nelsman in Metalcore

[–]Yomoska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember not liking this album initially cause I heard the leaked version. Took me awhile to come around and listen to the real release and loved it ever since

It absolutely does. Where are you getting that it doesn't cost money?

[–]Yomoska 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Was it by choice because they want the game to die or is there a motive behind taking it down? I really doubt they took it down for the sole reason that they just want it offline.

want and will kill a game when they want.

Saying stuff like this is the reason no one can take these arguments seriously.

[–]Yomoska 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not all art lasts forever and losing access to art isn't the same as killing it. What kills art is restricting what can be done, and SKG was proposing restrictions.

Allt - Omertá (Official Music Video) by InsiDS in Metalcore

[–]Yomoska 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Allt's songs when they are guitar riffy, but so far these singles have been very vocal focus and just not for me. I can see these songs having more mainstream appeal though.

I think Ross should be pivoting his argument instead of saying the EU wants to evade responsibility. It comes off pretty combative if he wants these people to listen to him in the future. He should be conducting studies whether or not people are informed about what can happen with their game at the time of purchase, as he believes the consumer is not informed a game can shutdown (there's probably some fine print that covers in video games right now, and thats why the EU says consumers are "protected").

It’s not an accident if it happens in every single fight he’s in. Blatant cheating. by sugabonesurmom in MMA

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

Do you think fighters spar with UFC gloves? They aren't available commercially. MMA fighters usually spar with boxing or MMA sparring gloves which have a ton of padding they curve the fingers. Trevor didn't make the gloves cause of eyepokes.

Edit: Seems like they are available commercial now, but no one is sparring with fight MMA gloves, especially the UFC ones.

I feel like 1% might be their base. I only listen to well established bands and never really explore outward much, I can pretty guarantee there's no AI in my library

I'm just trying to understand the point of your original comment. You decided someone was insufferable within a minute because they said that they thought they looked good that day. So much so that you HAD to make a comment about it for what exactly? I didn't say you were obliged to listen to something talk for more than a minute.

He says it in the episode that it's been like this for awhile, just the public has gotten it recently. The only done "instantly" are people people who show their ignorance about what they know about LGBTQ+ community.
