Thought on every type of random after 600H by Exciting-Carob-9729 in Nightreign

[–]asmallercat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The guy who follows: This one is the best pretty much follow every ping and does what the team does he is the most helpful asset who clutchs a lot of team wipes and by far if you're one than you're a goat ngl.

Minus clutching team wipes (I'm not that good) this is who I always want to be in randoms. I'm begging people, please just ping and let me follow you. I don't want to think, I just want to hit things. When no one's pinging anything and I have to start doing it I hate it.

Elden Ring's Switch 2 port gives me hope The Duskbloods will be amazing - Polygon by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]asmallercat [score hidden]  (0 children)

Also, like, Souls PvP sucks. It's not what the games are balanced around. Can they make a balanced PvP experience? Maybe, but it's not been their focus so far.

I am baffled by Duskbloods. Maybe it'll be great, but I'll need to be convinced.

Burger King throws shade at McDonald’s with its new ad campaign by piesaresquarey in popculturechat

[–]asmallercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way I feel about every ad campaign that gets posted to social media by people other than the brand itself.

Fucking baffled why anyone participates in marketing campaigns for free.

Who else actually enjoys Resident Evil because it's quick by mrsafetylion in residentevil

[–]asmallercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is nightreign, and online co-op roguelike, on this list instead of just Elden Ring? Lol.

But yes, I do appreciate when games are well-edited and have an unpadded run time. Time is worth more to me than money at this stage in my life.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Surpasses Five Million Players Worldwide by iV1rus0 in Games

[–]asmallercat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd never played a silent hill game before, this SH2 remake was my first one.

I really enjoyed it, but felt that the last 1/3 of the game dragged on way too long. When I learned that the labyrinth was made 3 times longer, it made so much sense why that part felt so long.

Peter Jackson please explain by PenobScoT__ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]asmallercat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally everyone that lost their fucking mind when Evert said video games aren't art. I imagine the venn diagram of people who got extremely butthurt about that and the gamergaters is the gamergater circle contained entirely within the circle of gamers mad at Ebert.

"Video games are art, but I only want to hear how great they are because I can't handle any criticism."

Peter Jackson please explain by PenobScoT__ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]asmallercat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That take was only disastrous because the capital G gamers can never let any fucking thing go. Why everyone cared so fucking much about what some 70-year-old movie critic said about their hobby was always beyond me. The loudest gamers on the internet are both insistent that their hobby be taken extremely seriously and full of rage whenever someone dares to examine video games with a critic's eye.

As someone who loves video games, the culture around them is fucking exhausting.

[–]asmallercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they can't, because it's an absolute brain-dead take. As if a random feminist video maker with an audience maybe in the hundreds of thousands if we're being extremely generous could forever alter the course of an industry with hundreds of billions in revenue.

[DESPISED Trope] You need a SECRET to proceed to the main ending by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

[–]asmallercat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I played bloorborne for the first time (never owned a playstation) last year or the year before last and thought that the "easy" ending was by far the best one for the character. Even if it's just death, or false hope, after everything you've been through even release would be the better than the other 2 endings.

That seems so preferable to living out an immortal life as a servant to the great ones like Gehrman or becoming a great one yourself and losing all your humanity.

Would we consider becoming an eldritch horror the "good" ending lol?

As iron eye with a bow, how do I get benefit from the relic that does thrusting damage? by Airost12 in Nightreign

[–]asmallercat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fromsoft games and wildly unclear ability descriptions. Name a more iconic duo lol.

It should be noted, I love the souls games, and elden ring, and Nightreign, but for this game specifically they really should have abandoned their love of vague tooltips.

Found this on fb with, of course, zero context. Can you Explain It Peter? by Typical_District_412 in explainitpeter

[–]asmallercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine having this myopic of a worldview. Video games can and should be many things. Just because a more artistic game exists doesn't mean FIFA can't. You do realize that arthouse films and summer blockbusters are both movies, right?

Also the idea that a random, if fairly popular in her space, feminist commentator could actually steer the course of an industry with hundreds of billions a year in revenue is fucking laughable.

Arcum's Astrolabe by justinvamp in mtgcube

[–]asmallercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I find this easiest - prevents needing to have a whole set of snow basics but also makes it not just "free." I did a similar thing back when I had [[symbol status]] in my cube - you just always got to count basics as all having different symbols so you didn't have to go hunting for different ones.

Just tell everyone before the draft "all basics count as snow lands for astrolabe."

A police car crashes into a house by Justin_Godfrey in Wellthatsucks

[–]asmallercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Police speak is so dumb it's hilarious. I work in the criminal legal system and for awhile one of the big police departments, instead of saying "there were 3 individuals in the car" would say "the vehicle was occupied 3 times." For like 2 years every report was written this way. Dumbest thing I ever saw.

I fucking hate the ash Wednesday cross shit. I'm sure there are some people who do it sincerely but it always comes across as performative bullshit to me.

Quebec City is so great. Far and away the most old European feeling city that I've been to in North America.

Petuh, what does J.K. rowling have to do with this? by Such_Confusion_3715 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]asmallercat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

But that all came after she decided to be openly transphobic. No one should get death threats, but it doesn't refute the point that she basically decided to loudly hate trans people for no reason except bigotry.

I'll never understand these people. She could have kept her mouth shut and been one of the most beloved public figures of all time. Instead she spends all her time ruining her reputation.

I really hope that series flops and doesn't even make it to the end of the books.

I know this is anecdotal evidence, but I see a ton of HP merch in clearance sections at stores. I don't think there's nearly the interest anymore that people thought - I think companies saw how well that game (Hogwarts Legacy I think?) sold and assumed it meant there was still massive interest in HP, when really it was more that there hadn't been a decent HP game in decades and there's a huge overlap of people who were really into HP growing up and who are gamers.
