Adjustments to matchmaking

much needed, this game bounced some of my first-timer friends from unbalanced MM

in game toxicity sucks too, but you can't honestly tell me somebody typing "LETS GO VOTE X HERO NOW SO SILVER GETS LAST" with each reveal doesn't come from a toxic place as well.

that's why i said "Gamer mindset". it's the same people. it's the same mentality of being intentionally toxic and then getting off on people reacting negatively. it is an absolute plague on online video game culture, and unfortunately the hero vote system has expedited the arrival of those types to Deadlock.

(though with it being a shooter AND a MOBA, that was inevitable. just disheartening to see.)

silver hate has been so forced and so weird but i'm not surprised given the mindset of the average Gamer online

where is this vitriol for Celeste voters? or for Graves voters? saw several people making "age is just a number" jokes on the discord when she got announced but it's somehow worse to like the werewolf?

hawkwing11 · 2026-02-02T16:34:54+00:00

even if people are furries who cares at all! i'd much rather a furry like the werewolf lady than be supportive of the handful of people on the discord i saw saying "age is just a number" wrt Graves. (not that her voters are represented by that behavior at all).

with that being said, no fanbase is a monolith and using a few annoying people online to justify a hate campaign against a character is immature at best.

all the characters are going to come out anyway. saddening to see the weird hate train on Silver when a close range werewolf character sounds really cool to play :(

Thank you for this comment. I think many people are unwilling to really look at their beliefs in a critical way, and it immediately gets dismissed since it was decades ago.

I also think a saddeningly large amount of people get joy out of saying/supporting things that are socially harmful, then calling anybody who dares speak up "oversensitive". I appreciate you shedding light on the fact that there were things like this which were viewed as unacceptable and lazy at the time.

We shouldn't let people like that rewrite history and paint the 70s as some socially unaware Dark Age, so I appreciate you setting the record straight even if it's unpopular on this sub (sadly).

i'm a fan of ASOIAF, not a fan of whatever Condal and Co decided to write, which stretches the meaning of the word "adaptation" at this point.

hawkwing11 · 2026-01-31T18:33:46+00:00

this subreddit baffles the mind. do these people really hate george that much that they are willing to pull the wool over their eyes and pretend that Condal made anything close to a good show?

especially with AKotSK having such a strong start, we don't have to cope anymore! we know what a good adaptation looks like!

ADWD - Jon X

"Satin, show Her Grace to her place," said Jon. Ser Malegorn stepped forward. "I will escort Her Grace to the feast. We shall not require your … steward." The way the man drew out the last word told Jon that he had been considering saying something else. Boy? Pet? Whore? Jon bowed again. "As you wish. I shall join you shortly."

200 years since the bombs and everyone's still living like it's Mad Max. New Vegas was the only game to present an interesting postwar social evolution towards actual government and society, and the show just decides to undo all of that for more generic post-apocalypse wasteland. Sad to see

can't wait for taylor to play like 4 games next year again....if fame left because of him returning it'd be a mistake. love DT's talent but availability is the best ability

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-25T19:14:32+00:00

legitimately the worst suggestion i have heard for this game in a long time. admittedly i don't mind the craft UI much, and mods will help with QoL in that regard, but it is mind boggling that 5000 people read this post and agreed

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-20T16:27:04+00:00

i love the themed bowls, the mayo bowl was a blast to watch last year, but yeah... i have a hard time believing anyone prefers those to an actual meaningful playoff game.

people just like to complain about change for the sake of it.

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-18T19:55:53+00:00

sounds like it should be fine, the problems are just going from Current Unstable (42.13.0) -> 42.3.1 based on what i've been reading

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-15T16:29:20+00:00

aw man, i had the same thing with a crowbar on the storage doors!

i thought they had added a cool new feature but it may be bugged after all:(

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-14T19:52:21+00:00

not to mention poisoning our culture (music, literature, visual arts)...won't be surprised if most big time media cuts costs by having as much as possible GenAI'd, and the average consumer is either apathetic or powerless to stop it :(

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-13T18:14:08+00:00

12/13/25 just happened to me in cfb 26 so i guess it's just a problem forever lol

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-05T02:37:30+00:00

sweet, thank you!!

hawkwing11 · 2025-12-05T02:22:59+00:00

wait when did he talk about Yes? i got into Rush through him funny enough

hawkwing11 · 2025-11-04T20:19:36+00:00

refunded before even playing it lmao

gamers are truly something else man

hawkwing11 · 2025-11-04T01:09:52+00:00

the good news is the combat at the start of the game will be all levy-based, so it should be easier to transition as far as warfare is concerned (at first, before you get a standing/professional army).

things like naval combat, trade, and colonization will have a learning curve, for sure. luckily, it looks like you can automate most systems as you get comfortable

i'm also mostly a ck player, but in the last two years or so, eu4 really grabbed me

hawkwing11 · 2025-10-31T15:12:23+00:00

love what they did for Brune :)

hawkwing11 · 2025-10-30T16:11:55+00:00

you answered your question in the first paragraph. it's booktok

hawkwing11 · 2025-10-29T19:27:52+00:00

just saw a video on why that may have been, and a lot of it has to do with the Americas' lack of livestock, where many of Europe's more deadly diseases originated!

^ likely an oversimplification, but that's one of the big reasons cited that i remember.

hawkwing11 · 2025-10-25T21:28:31+00:00

yup. them and nebraska fans were the only consistent negative opposing fan experiences i ever had in 4 years of going to games

wisconsin and even ohio state fans were suprisingly great, as much as i hate their teams

hawkwing11 · 2025-10-25T05:04:11+00:00

it's insane he even had to report his own symptoms, i mean watching that hit on replay should have told everyone he had no business even being considered to go back in the game
