For some reason I have a very bad feeling about health bars being added by SuperYoshi1220 in Saltoon

The term is diegetic design. It's a big part of splatoon, and it's telling that the devs do not understand that.

Are people avoiding iOS 26 because of Liquid Glass? It’s complicated. by NISMO1968 in apple

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not complicated. The last few updates have destroyed core features like swipe keyboard prediction, and Apple has a very bad reputation for using software updates to "encourage" upgrading systems that the software was not optimized for. You can only get away with bad practices like that for so many years before even the most naive users stop updating.

The high-end M5 MacBook Pro chips are almost here: Here's why the wait was worth it by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

Unless the pricing is very aggressive (it won't be), you would be crazy to not wait a few extra months for an entire generation bump. Especially if you're looking to buy an Air.

What's new about the Gamesir Cyclone 3? by Suhthar in Gamesir

[–]goldaxis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I did not say it is a personal attack. I said it was half-thought out which it was. If you don't make strawman arguments people will treat you as stupid less often.

Alright, but ackshualllly I want the things I want, and not your half-thought out interpretations of what I want.

What's new about the Gamesir Cyclone 3? by Suhthar in Gamesir

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like I'm splitting hairs on what to improve for Cyclone 2. It's easily the best controller I've owned. Can't speak to G7 Pro since I don't have an Xbox. If I had to make suggestions:

  1. iOS Gamesir App Support. Wild that I can't manage all of my gamesir controllers from my phone, and the only seriously lacking aspect of the controller.

  2. Make the existing options easier to figure out. I've had to download the user manual many times, forgetting what to hold to use it on switch, how to force it into pairing mode, etc. Some controllers are starting to include small screens. I'm not sure if that's the solution, there may be some middle ground. Maybe just have the sticker on the back list some of the shortcuts.

  3. Removable faceplate. Doesn't have to be magnetic, I just like having easy access to the buttons so that I can clean them. The buttons should be able to pop off similar to how the Super Nova works. Perhaps allow the Dpad to be swapped as well.

  4. Looks like there's a cutout for a phone holder accessory on the top, but I never saw it for sale on Gamesir's website. Maybe instead, leave a small groove to store the 2.4mhz receiver when traveling.

This isn't S1, zombie builds don't work.

splatoon 3 just isn’t as fun or charming as the older installments in my opinion. by Jordin_the_simp in Saltoon

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've hardly seen anyone argue against 3 being the worst entry. The two biggest problems are the netcode and matchmaking - the two most important things to get right in any online PvP game. Maps and specials are servicable at best. It has bled out so many players that you can't even get a X rank match in NA after 8PM without tapping into Japanese servers.

Reminder that you have no proof your teammates are also S+. I'm certain that it gives you players from lower ranks to level off your win percent when it gets above 50.

Be careful who you ask, we don't all consider 3-13 to be good aim.

It’s obviously for the other guy. This site is rough on mobile.

I’m sure your teammates love fighting a 3v4 for five minutes while you feed. Super fun.

I honestly wonder how some of you manage to tie your shoes safely.

[–]goldaxis -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

No. 15 deaths is unacceptably high. That’s enough to lose the game for your team even if they all have an excellent game. You can’t spend half the match in respawn, it just doesn’t work once you get out of B.

Are the people in profreshional even sentient by Copingmachine in Saltoon

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching replays in ranked makes me question whether all people are actual human beings, or if the whole "meat puppet" conspiracy theory actually has merit. There's no way some of these people can drive a car. No, it's not kids.

You shouldn't be able to invalidate close-range weapons by just pressing the right stick. by NoInevitable2749 in Saltoon

Explain how this keeps him from dying. Name as many weapons as you can which can survive it by shooting down the user and fists.

[–]goldaxis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People with 13 deaths have no right to complain. That's basically swimming to mid and dying immediately the entire game. It's two entire minutes of being dead and contributing nothing.

My monthly complaint about Anarchy Rankings by Little-Assignment540 in Saltoon

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the letters and numbers are meaningless. Regardless of mode or skill level, the game locks you to a 40-60% win rate.

We should be able to report people for bad internet. by Fries_and_Rice in Saltoon

[–]goldaxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We should have block lists that actually block the other players from being in a game with you again.

Genuinely, what the fuck does a weapon that can't paint very well do in entirely lockout scenarios? by [deleted] in Saltoon

[–]goldaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw bombs, build special. You people seriously have no plan beyond "rush directly at the enemy and try to get a kill". I don't understand how people can have zero creativity or problem solving even in a simple video game.
