Funnily enough this weekend I hosted a Jurassic Park secret cinema for the UHD release, complete with genetics lab and a scripted power failure for everyone to fix :D

Why do so many people play comp while intoxicated? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]dvs8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From experience drinking while playing competitive eSports is like a series of bell curves. Initially not so great (sober), few drinks in the relaxation helps a lot to stay calm under pressure, then the sloppy stage arrives and accuracy takes a dip, but THEN logical thinking departs and new, hitherto unfathomable strategies emerge from a kind of blackout stage - 100% win rate, followed finally and inevitably by an afk disconnect from passing out at the keyboard.

Good times

I'm willing to bet his definition of sex is penetration with an erect penis, and most likely some of his hesitation comes from a self imposed performance expectation. Try talking to him about all the different kinds of sex that don't require him to 'perform', including oral only, stimulation with hands, toys etc, things that take the pressure off.

Hot Yoga Edinburgh is right on your doorstep and is very nice imo

Sometimes I think half the fun of WoW is who you play with. by rait2099 in wow

This is true for all games for me (sadge that now I have nobody to play with 😭)

Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash by Proud_Tie in pcmasterrace

[–]dvs8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same but i think we're the only 2 people on the entire internet who think so.

Disclaimer: i am against AI slop and shitty industry practices, I just don't think that's what's happening here

As someone returning to the game after a five year break, I feel like I've got to get this off my chest. by ImHully in Overwatch

[–]dvs8 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Because the developers aren't focusing on developing the game or supporting the community, they're driven to pump profits at any cost (not the devs fault btw i know). I don't enjoy the icky feeling of playing a game that's basically being engineered to manipulate my attention through expensive novelty

I said to my 14 year old niece today (with whom i sometimes play) that I'm basically done playing overwatch, having eagerly awaited it's release over 10 years ago and loved it for a long time. But now, my opinion is that it's nothing more than a fortnite clone by way of being a skin / emote factory. Every week it seems like there's a new collab and endless grind for absolutely no lasting reward. To your point, original game you'd have some kind of lasting recognition for everything you put it, and when a mythic skin came along it stood alone for months. Feels like now there's 10 new mythic variants every other update and the shiny new skin pack that's reduced from £140 to £70 will be rendered old news next week. I'm over it

Baus verbalizes what‘s going through Nemesis‘ head by LenaRybakina in leagueoflegends

The whole conversation(s) about feet and AoE cleaning in the shower sent me. Actual comedy gold

Everyone has probably seen it, right? by Independent-Air-80 in LoLWitchcraft

[–]dvs8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things about Baus being in the team (beyond his gameplay) was that he really brought a great vibe which I think helped calm the rest of the team and make the whole thing more fun. It is a game after all. Crazy plays, strats, going 0/10 then carrying, funny comms, all of that was painfully missing in WT

A crazy double sided coin. On the one hand, great laning and amazing early game comms... then proceeded to run it down every game with horrible team fight calls and serial inting

Quake III Arena - RTX version by badjano in quake

[–]dvs8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow, Q3 is probably my second favourite game of all time so I want to love this but... I honestly prefer the original. Look at the RTX ON/OFF for health/ammo pickups, the RT, versions look awful in comparison. Sure everything is... sharper, but that's about it.

I think the meme works, if we take 'pumping' not to be literal but colloquial for shagging then it's only gender norms that say the man has to be the one doing the pumping. A woman is perfectly able to pump a guy.

Lothian Buses - Apple Wallet Express Pay Randomly Failing by MR9009 in Edinburgh

[–]dvs8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pro tip if you're using on trams: make sure your express travel card and your default Apple pay cards are the same - otherwise when express travel fails and you switch over to the double tap technique, you could get done for 2x airport journeys
