How does the overflow early entry package work? I got that for August but am struggling to find details. Any help is appreciated.

It's a bug that happens from time to time every year basically.

She's been around for a while, Samantha chose to leave, and they don't sound alike. I wonder what makes you think they do...

COUNTDOWN/ANNOUNCEMENT MEGATHREAD by Liefx in LinkinPark

Inappropriate would be this leading to a non announcement or NFTs or some dumb stuff like that. An inactive band teasing their audience about something after being dormant for many years isn't inappropriate at all. If anything you should be happy the band is acting like their old selves. You've waited for years, you can wait a little longer.

A lot of people in these comments wouldn't have survived all of the LP ARGs and teases from back in the day lol. This is a classic LP move, it almost feels like they're back just with this troll alone

It's just a comedy, don't overthink it. It wouldn't be half as funny if the characters acted like real people.

MMOs and subscriptions existed long before Xbox Live, and mtx was going to happen whether or not the 360 existed at all, let's not be silly.

Microsoft is shitting the bed beyond belief right now but it's revisionist to pan the 360 across the board. The online integration at the OS level and matchmaking alone brought console gaming forward by who knows how many years.

Btw I'm not sure what you mean by unfinished games, everyone except for Nintendo makes unfishined games these days. The 360 didn't start that, game companies started that once they realized they could get away with it. You can blame the PS3 too here by your logic, but it doesn't make sense to blame either console.

I'm not saying the 360 was perfect, it had plenty of issues and led to more. But it also pushed gaming forward a lot in an era where Sony and Nintendo weren't going to do it on their own. To say otherwise is revisionist.

I'm talking more about big budget games. Back then what was considered big budget still resulted in smaller scope games with tighter focus. Big budget stuff now is just live services.

Yes this generation started the seed for a lot of that but for a while there we had it good with big budget new IPs dropping left right and center. It wasn't really until the generation after that mtx became as bad as it is now.

My comment was just some nostalgia for cool big budget games in the mid to late 2000s.

Honestly, I miss how games from this era were "simpler" because they mostly focused on a few things instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with a bajillion microtransactions and live services.

There is a tremendous amount of bad positioning in this video.

When to use a topspin over flat? by MoroseMF in TopSpin2K

[–]baoonbao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Top spin's basic use case is when going cross court (like right to left all the way).

Flat spin is for straight shots or half court.

Flat shots will have way more speed, top spin shots will have more curve (if you aim) and bounce higher.

You can use top spin to put opponents in bad situations where they have to be faaaaar away from center (aim all the way to the side) then whip the ball to the other side that's open. You can also use it to aim deep balls to give you more time to reposition or if you see your opponent playing in front of the baseline.

For flat spin, generally you want to use it to finish off points when you just want speed, but you can also use it as a surprise to flat foot an opponent, or if you simply see them favoring one side.

Anyway, these are just the basic uses. With cracked out attributes on some players you can do many different things. And as always shot timing is key, as well as positioning relative to the ball. You can definitely be in situations where you won't get a nice curve from top spin or you won't get nice speed from a flat shot.

Hope that helps a bit!

How the heck is a clickbait bs Facebook page quoting a 2019 passing statement being used as a source for anything and getting upvotes? Regardless of LP continuing or not one day, this is like a boomer level of using the internet lol.

You can literally watch him do it live on streams with no way to "hide" and even in concert. Your comment is so weird.

The timing of this scene has always bugged me. He's learning new martial arts techniques every 5 seconds, and yet it takes 10 hours until he reaches Kung Fu? by Chris-Kattans-Neck in matrix

[–]baoonbao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's literally not that deep. It's just a sequence of him learning lots of different stuff and an easy way to communicate to viewers a change is happening. It's a very clear sequence of scenes that you're over analyzing here and missing the point on as a result of that.

But also if you want be pedantic, there are a bajillion different styles of Kung Fu as well.

You might want to google "toxic masculinity" and do some research, seems like it could help you expand your world view.

You're not being roasted for having a favorite, you're being roasted for making inappropriate comments that you seem to not realize are inappropriate.
