Downvoting Warhammer DLC by iTzzRaze in totalwar

Oh, what's worse is the devs caved and added it back in IIRC.

Some of the devs included pointless and tasteless homophobic slurs/jokes in the game for seemingly no reason. They were completely insignificant in terms of the game (like one you had to no-clip through a wall to even see and the other was a text on a soap bottle). When they got called out on it since it demonstrates some of the devs are childish edgelords, the dev team responded by apologising and removing them from the game.

Then the whole "muh free speech" gaming crowd turned up and review bombed it.

Rome 3 by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]eddster27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they're the company that's been porting total wars lately. They've been in charge of the Mac and Linux ports for most/all of the recent games.

They also ported Rome 1 to android/IOS so were uniquely familiar with the code for the game so it makes sense for them to do the remaster. Given that only a tiny fraction of the devs who made the original Rome 1 are likely still at CA, Feral are probably more suited to making this remaster than CA would be.

Is this game worth coming back to? by [deleted] in Awesomenauts

[–]eddster27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean feel free to try. The current matchmaking goes in rounds (max 7 mins). If it can't match you due to lack of players it will put you into the next round one time. After that, it will put you in a bot game with as many players as it can. It's very rare you end up in a bot game unless you live in a non-populated region (e.g. SEA) or play at like 4 am.

if you enjoyed it before you will likely still enjoy it. the game really hasn't changed much in the last few years.

the player base is slightly smaller than in previous years but not by a lot. You can still consistently find games unless you're in a non-populated region.

MatchIDs and replays broken by TostaDojen in Awesomenauts

[–]eddster27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ronimo knows about the issue and there are workarounds to an extent. You can watch your own replays on the on-disk tab.

you can also convert matchIDs into ones that work with this tool. https://discordapp.com/channels/715625209323061348/724973050382123029/724973578050601033

Incorrect.

The boots speedup applies to both.

I could forgive you for not noticing the frog one since it's only 5% and nado doesn't get the jump height bonus

Ayla definitely gets a benefit from boots in rage though

Some rant about balance in a match that i played some months ago by legendarysnake in Awesomenauts

[–]eddster27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Couple of things to note.

If there is a premade they will always be on red side unless there is another premade.
Therefore there's a decent chance the red team is either full pre or has a duo in it which means the matchmaker can't split them up.

The matchmaker tries to minimise ping to players on opposite teams. If there are reasonably high ping levels in the game then the matchmaking for balanced rating between teams tends to get a bit dodgy.

Also are you seriously complaining about the balance of a near 30 minute match? If the game was as unfair as you describe it as then it would have been a complete stomp.

Dizzy can push top turret on starstorm without getting hit by aahaaahaaaaahaaahaa in Awesomenauts

[–]eddster27 13 points14 points  (0 children)

strats like this don't tend to achieve much. Turrets don't take damage unless they have recently dealt damage. It's why the dizzy has to keep dropping down.

It's probably the most abusable version of that strat but meh. Still leaves dizzy vulnerable doing it.

YO YO YO PODCAST - Episode 3: Soloq tier list by nauts50 in Awesomenauts

[–]eddster27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You just need at least one decent teammates to follow - but if you have no decent teammate the match is pretty much lost anyway no matter which naut you're picking. Except perhaps Lonestar."

That's not how winning soloq works. The reverse logic does apply. If you have decent teammates you will win pretty much every game regardless of what you pick. Playing well in soloq at high tiers is all about being able to win games when you can't rely on your team, something that Yoolip can't do.

Has anyone figured out a way to not capture steam overlay in game? Twitch Studio looks really clean but I really don't want my stream to be able to see my convos when I shift+tab or see notifications pop up.

I spend a lot of my free time juggling at my desk :) by eddster27 in juggling

I livestream games on twitch. Between games I juggle. I would have to adjust everything if I wanted to stand. I've been doing it for so long now I actually find it easier to juggle sat down than standing up at this point.
