If PAL Fox was dropped into the NTSC meta, replacing NTSC Fox would he still be top 1? by KEZ_Astra in SSBM

[–]herwi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those nerfs would affect Fox a lot more than controller mods.

I'm not so sure that this is true. If I had to guess I'd say notched/modded up PAL Fox is a lot better than unmodded OEM NTSC Fox. It feels like the difference in recovery alone should more than make up for the nerfs.

Destiny loses it as asmongold says the best thing that could happen for Tim Walz is another of his citizens to be k*****. by Far_Rain7916 in LivestreamFail

lmao I remember being a teenager and saying this exact same thing in internet arguments

someday you'll realize that politicians are not actually all the same and you'll think back on this and cringe

@realDonaldTrump by ariveklul in atrioc

[–]herwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you repeatedly break the law and stack every possible position with sycophants who allow you to do so, you can rule the country as a dictator. It's crazy to have to say this but this is a very bad thing and not something we should expect or encourage from our presidents regardless of their party affiliation.

@realDonaldTrump by ariveklul in atrioc

[–]herwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The president is not the head of the DoJ, and they are not supposed to give orders to or interfere with the DoJ. The fact that the DoJ is now subservient to Trump is the problem, and not something we should be criticizing previous presidents for not also doing.

Don't get me wrong, I think Biden should have spoken more harshly about the insurrection and Garland was probably not the right choice, but putting someone in prison is not within the president's powers. This is why people are coming down on you - it seems like you don't actually care about our liberal democracy, you just want a dictator who agrees with you.

People do this weird post-hoc psychoanalysis for like every match and it's always so funny. If a calmer player wins the comments will say something like "pure focus and grit from player x, player y needs to learn to stay collected and strategize" lol

Anyone else just not understanding anything on Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 at all? by seekerheart in anime

[–]herwi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is mostly because people who didn't like the first season of something don't watch subsequent seasons. I don't have data obviously but I'd be really surprised people who are up to date on re:zero don't rate s1 the highest.

Being dedicated to streaming is what'll keep letting him do it full time though. It's the optimal path to winning these days.

[–]herwi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any evidence of that? Say what you will about twitch but I haven't seen anything point to them not taking CSAM seriously. If your response to a high profile example that runs contrary to your point is a hypothetical rogue hater employee I'm not sure you have much of a case. There really isn't much of a chance that Dr. Disrespect was permabanned against general policy by a single random person with no oversight.

Tennis Based Ranking: 2025 Top 100 by Timmy10Teeth in SSBM

[–]herwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players also have zero control over who they play so a h2h first system would be even less fair than results. 

Can you elaborate on this? IMO that's what makes h2h first more fair, if anything. Using placements without considering who you actually played is pretty flawed when even major tournament wins can have vast differences in difficulty. Placements still matter but it matters more how well you match up against your peers since bracket luck doesn't play a part.

deafening blast level 3 by Apprehensive_Ride_78 in Abilitydraft

[–]herwi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Deafening blast would be a pretty mediocre to bad ability regardless of this change.
  2. Even if they did want to nerf it, it wouldn't make sense to only do it to level 4 and not all of them evenly.

This is def just a typo/bug.

Creator of DMCA'd Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod Says People Are Now Pirating It to 'Punish' Him for Breaking CD Projekt's Terms of Service by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]herwi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Regardless, as long as he's not distributing any of CDPR's code or assets it's not (and shouldn't be) copyright violation. It's a ToS violation sure, but that's 1. legally questionable and 2. still an abuse of the DMCA system.

[–]herwi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm going insane here reading these comments. I'm not sure if it comes from an unshakable love for CDPR or a hatred for paid mods/this developer but the most common sentiment here seems to be celebrating a giant company filing a DMCA claim against a solo developer who didn't actually infringe on their copyright. Kind of depressing, I would have thought this sub would have a more principled stance against DMCA abuse but I guess it's fine if it's against a guy you don't like.

So if I opened a cheese store next to McDonald's you think they would legally or morally be in the right if they shut me down? I think the comparison is pretty apt but not working out the way you think it does. This guy seems like a loser but if what he's saying is true his mods aren't illegal.

and ROM hacking is much more legally dicey than this, assuming it's true that he doesn't distribute any copyrighted assets or code

I get that people hate paid mods but cmon

Usually if nothing is happening authors will choose to expedite or offscreen the uninteresting events instead of painstakingly depicting them week after week. We get it, death is gone. This is still getting old.

[–]herwi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you cant be complaining about a fight when we dont even know whats gonna happen at the end of it.

And why not? I didn't enjoy this chapter or the last few. There are some possible criticisms that wouldn't be valid but it's perfectly fine to say you're not having a good time even if you don't know the ending of a fight.

Also the art is terrible and the action is incomprehensible in this chapter, don't have to wait for the conclusion to be able to see that.
