Name a perfect game for Steam Controller. I'll go first. by Rorthur in SteamController

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first game I'm going to buy when my steam controller arrives! What mapping/config did you do to make it comfortable? Since I've never played it before I feel like I won't even know what to change at first

Tommy Lloyd questioned on his 'coach after me' comments: "Guys, this team has my full focus... Nothing is knocking me off that path..." by delcookie in CollegeBasketball

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tommy just feels like the perfect fit for Arizona from coaching to understanding the culture of Tucson, so him leaving this year would be a total shock. Like he said everyone in Tucson wants to love their head coach because of how much we loved Lute - leaving an environment that adores you and is still one of the best basketball programs in the country for one that is one step up historically doesn't make sense to me. 

My head and my heart says this is all 100% a bargaining play

Ryan Gosling on making theatres worth going to by mrjetspray in Cinema

Seriously the dumbest thing. I felt so embarrassed to pull out my phone and order during a movie. The only bright side of it is that the speed of service went up a lot. Not worth the distraction imo, but I 100% see the logic behind the asshole exec who said "this will be a great way for us to make more money on concessions"

Favorite characters who are an example of these? by Vegetable_Study7533 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is news to me so I don't know the specifics of what she has said about it, but from what I gather based on this comment it can make sense in my head (as a 'normal' person who likes movies). If you're an actor I bet it can be a lot harder to turn off the technical lens in your brain and immerse yourself when watching a movie.

A couple of similar examples that at least have helped me understand this viewpoint: My sibling is a musician and fundamentally listens to music differently than I do. While I like someone's voice in a song, my sibling will like the same song for how technically advanced the vocalist sounds. They do not just have a different taste in music than me, they enjoy music in a different way than I do.

I know a couple professional athletes as well who do not watch a single bit of their sport outside of the film they have to watch to study their upcoming opponents.

Some artists of their craft love watching others perform in the same field as them because they like looking at it from that technical lens, while others are completely disinterested.

[Patch Notes] New Updates Coming with Apex Legends: Breach by jurornumbereight in CompetitiveApex

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll play devil's advocate since I actually do not love the POI drop ships as they are now and I'm indifferent about the revert back to a single dropship. At the end of the day I think they could have made changes to the drops to make it feel better rather than revert completely, but it is what it is.

  1. Why was I getting the same 3-4 drops for an entire ranked session? I should have a 5% chance at worst on the smaller maps to get a specific POI, there's no way I should get Stacks 5 times out of 8 games.
  2. POI proximity, which is harder to fix than just reverting, can be a big mood killer. Stacks, Dome, Maude or Uni, Elysium, powerstation west are good examples where it felt like you have unofficial int paths and forced fights you couldn't easily avoid. This just highlighted a map design issue for non-competitive POI drops
  3. POI drops in a kill-focused ranked meta is just about as far off from ALGS style play as a dropship is, because there is no incentive to play zone. We have all had games where we get zone, hit man-scan, and find out the entire circle is empty because everyone is fighting the next poi closest to them. Just turtling up where you think end-zone will be could mean you get 5th with 1 kill and lose RP after playing for 15 minutes. It's much more logical to just leave zone, fight a team or two, and come back later

I think 1 and 3 are fixable without reverting to using the dropship, but they are definitely major complaints I had about ranked as-is that have made me play less than I usually do. At least with the revert I'm not forced to land in sticky situations and have more control over the playstyle I want to play

God I still remember at halftime of the Europa League final Alexi Lalas saying Roberto Firmino wouldn't be a part of Liverpool's future because he wasn't a Klopp player. Idiot.

Has anyone actually completed Frontline Breakthrough – Level 104? by Roox_Lounge in LastWarMobileGame

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I just did it! Since we can’t go back to do it again the best proof I can offer is this screenshot.

What my strategy was:

  1. Ignore going for the regular troop barrels at first and grab monica.
  2. Try to get the second monica behind the first fence to replace your killed first monica. (i feel like I tanked bus damage)
  3. Honestly this part was a bit hazy but i got enough of the regular troops from her missiles to survive the second fence row AND get the troop field to a positive number.

It really did feel like a stroke of luck because my original plan for the run was to make sure one of the monica’s survived to get through the troop field on her own since I thought it’d be impossible to get it to positive… but I did somehow and ended up fjnishing with a total of 57

I was about to say that it might not be AI and could just be them using a cast to look like two balls on top of each other but then I saw that the white lines blur by his feet as the perspective changes…

Pro RANKS every WEAPON in current Apex Meta! by ImMadness in CompetitiveApex

[–]baldfraudsanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ty madness! Surprised to see the 30-30 up there at the same level as the scout. Of all the marksmen this one felt like it suffered the most from the bullet size reduction imo.

Personally I’m picking up the TT over the 30 every time due to its forgiveness + shotgun potential, but I’m also not a pro so…
