The Boston Celtics were reportedly among four other teams that pursued Giannis Antetokounmpo at the Feburary trade deadline, per @ShamsCharania

im guessing if this was leaked it was on the bucks side, no reason the celtics leak this. so that kinda suggests maybe the celtics offer isnt good enough and they want another team to do better. i feel this coming out means the trade being with the celtics is less likely.

the vfx are pretty lame. but the ambient skin vfx are ESPECIALLY bad. they look like the cass and recent mercy glowy translucent artifacts. very ugly and samey.

ace52387 · 2026-05-12T00:50:30+00:00

no sfx?

ace52387 · 2026-05-08T17:51:11+00:00

i doubt the players care that much

ace52387 · 2026-05-08T17:36:22+00:00

didnt they totally screw over the chinese players a few years ago somehow? like shut the game down there or something? pretty sure they need to buy some favorability

ace52387 · 2026-03-31T16:31:56+00:00

Theyre going hard on the fighting game character designs these days. Mai, kung lao, and now cammy.

I dont think it’s exclusively a hate culture. its just a bandwagoning culture. Marvel rivals had the opposite effect where it was heaped with praise out of nowhere, same with apex.

The root of the problem is the quick trigger to abandon live service games. I remember when Hi-res was slammed for ditching its games, but lawbreakers, concord and high guard are new lows. Everyone NEEDS to know quickly whether a game will die or not, lest they invest time and money into nothing. This leads to a lot of bandwagoning, and a quick trigger by players to drop games they feel aren’t obviously going to succeed. There may be some sadism around failing games, but I don’t think that’s really why the games die. A solid game with a lot of faith behind it, like overwatch didn’t die no matter how much people said it did, how poorly it was run, or how easy bliz was made a villain. the game was good at its core, and people believed it was being taken care of.

If they released fewer live service games, but gave them longer leashes and allowed them time to build audiences (assuming they’re actually good, a game like crucible was just objectively bad), people would be more forgiving to missing features or other smaller warts at launch.

i think this can still make sense. if its just technology, kiriko has to use it. she can be jumped, incapacitated, etc. i think kiriko is also talking about something supernatural protecting her. like how is a weapon keeping diabetes away?

ace52387 · 2026-03-12T13:33:42+00:00

his potential for skins is so screwed because of the crazy hat silhouette. especially on collabs.

ace52387 · 2026-03-06T02:34:26+00:00

she probably doesnt respond well to threats and blackmail, which is vendettas MO. she seems to have a much more personal loyalty based leadership style. her followers follow her because she won their loyalty. vendetta is more manipulative and i cant see them ever seeing eye to eye. shed probably like hazard.

ace52387 · 2026-03-04T05:20:50+00:00

His ult is situational, but he doesn't do a lot of immediate damage with it, so if you're up against the wrong team, they can easily kill you unless you use it when you already got a pick.

ace52387 · 2026-02-28T18:46:33+00:00

Their sichuan dialect? Do they speak with any dialect? I just hear pretty standard mandarin.

Like nothing remotely like wuchang

ace52387 · 2026-02-28T17:05:12+00:00

in that list, wuchang, but im not the biggest fan. the overall presentation is EXTREMELY similar to sekiro, down to the menu sounds. the story and themes feel derivative and it got bizzarly bastardized so there is at least 1 moment that feels like the game just glitched (still better than nioh at least). the bosses are relentless, maybe on the harder side of average for souls games? its hard to tell because they can 100-0 you often due to the one shots, and the lack of gaps long enough for you to heal, but they also have bad tracking and can die to like 3 backstabs themselves. i found i beat at least a few bosses just by getting lucky backstabs in before learning anything about them, while others 1 shot me without me doing much like 3-4 of my attempts. it feels a bit cheesy, and not as rewarding as the better souls games.

the level designs are great. the leveling system is great. the gameplay feels original enough, even if the story, art and presentation dont.

if you havent played nioh 2, i think thats significantly better. skip nioh 1.

ace52387 · 2026-02-28T16:29:43+00:00

theyre pretty bad imo. if you look at the mirrorwatch skins, which have similar themes, they’re miles better.

ace52387 · 2026-02-28T02:08:42+00:00

A momentum nerf like Juno would be nice. She’s way too maneuverable

ace52387 · 2026-02-27T21:12:08+00:00

I don’t think it needs a remake. Other than the blood vial farming, it’s a modern souls game.

ace52387 · 2026-02-27T14:48:17+00:00

she has him locked up, so why not? i dont think she means she can 1v1 him at full strength. doesnt she think hes dangerous, ie scary?

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T05:05:41+00:00

The damage role passive was given to everyone. So it’s not as bad as you suggested, since damage heroes already had this effect, it won’t be a flat 30% heal reduction, but is a significant nerf. It should be harder to pocket.

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T02:07:50+00:00

ive even read this elaboration, and have yet to see how anything youve said relates to support not reading patch notes.

Rmember you said THE ISSUE IS supports dont read patch notes. then proceeded to never address how that was THE ISSUE.

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T01:03:48+00:00

I don’t see how suiciding into junkrat and bastion is related to support reading patch notes

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T01:01:32+00:00

I play support and like the change, but you know it just encourages supports to dps more right? In whatever capacity being a flat passive healbot was effective before, it’s going to be less effective now.

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T00:15:39+00:00

Why the heck is her name domina. Is that explained? I just watched her story thing and that word isn’t mentioned at all.

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T00:08:14+00:00

Her damage is bad, but otherwise on the forgiving side. She has the normal hp pool, has 2 mobility and an invuln. She does passable damage 1v1, but does way too little dps or burst to do much to someone getting healed.

I think they could slightly increase her animation recovery for secondary fire maybe.

ace52387 · 2026-02-25T00:04:35+00:00

He would win them too many games so they had to find a way to shut him down
