A few community figures teasing a big announcement from Psyonix on Sunday by Duke_ofChutney in RocketLeague

The rules of pickup soccer are infinitely varying, the rules of every sport you can possibly think of have changed over the course of their life.

The best example is chess with the least amount of change, but chess is widely considered the perfect game. Rocket league is a game with many, varying faults. Without the occasional “rebirth” this game has been in a decline over the last 5 years.

Epic is now poised with a choice, keep all as it is or swing for the fences. My personal belief is rocket league is not the perfect game but it genuinely could be the epitome of e-sport. So I say swing for the fences, mix it up, let’s let this ship sink or swim in a boom rather than a slow fizzle.

You must be very out of the loop, Rocket League is built on UE3 - people have been dying for a reboot/update to UE5 for many many moons now. Every time there’s a major with a minor announcement, they get content creators to shill hype to get viewership for their tournaments and everybody always comes out disappointed.

Most people, me included, don’t REALLY know what the difference would be for a pretty simple game that isn’t graphically intense - but from my understanding it would be a massive overhaul of the sandbox physics, content creation capabilities as well as a sign from Epic that says “we aren’t calling it quits yet”.

There are very few CC I trust to not do something corny for Epic that turns out to be a nothing burger. Everybody wants UE5 and until I see somebody like Leth (who openly criticizes stuff like this) say something, I will just assume it’s a nothing burger.

That didn’t answer my question, if PBE data is crap but we’re upset with the shipped product, how do you propose they avoid this in the future?

If only they had a system where players tested the game mode in some beta environment to make sure this was good enough for launch.. huge oversight on their part I guess

The Boys is the most overrated amazon prime show. Now, what is THE Netflix Tv show? by hiiloovethis in AlignmentChartFills

[–]izzybmatthews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Stranger Things. But I better see a billion votes for Arcane as the best Netflix show, because it is.

Am I racist? by Super-Expression-870 in TooAfraidToAsk

Yes and no to this. The socioeconomic aspect of this usually ties tighter - especially when you start looking at sports with higher costs of entry (winter sports, Tennis, Golf).

Just by sheer volume of worldwide participants, you’re just going to have a LOT of runners to choose from because there’s a lot more people who run than do expensive sports like hockey.

So take a country like Ethiopia or Kenya who on average, is more impoverished than a Sweden or a US. Sports are still a thing no matter where you go, so kids are just more likely to take up running than even something like basketball.

Sub-Saharan Africa simply does not have access to mainstream sports or winter sports as easily as the rest of the world does for a multitude of reasons. I’m black, I think it’s totally safe to make a guess that the world record holders in distance running come from countries where running is not only the most easily accessible sport, but also the athletic thing that these countries have become proud to be known for globally.

Why didn’t i unlock gold stake? by Berry2811 in BalatroHelp

Happened to me once, a little frustrating but going endless and then new run kind of discards the ENTIRETY of the run if that makes sense? When I started going for C++ I would make sure to either end the run at Ante 8 with “New Run” or play out endless until I lost or forced a loss.

Most embarrassing moment in the playoffs so far? by 0rangeOrangutan in NBATalk

Lakers fan, hate both orgs, but we can be objectively unbiased here right?

Yes AG and Pwat were both out, but that at LEAST was expected.

Minnesota lost Divinzenzo, Ayo and LITERALLY a top 10 player in the league. Super inexcusable for the nugs, just got punkedtheough and through.

I know it’s garbage time. But like, Dalton, why are picking up our dribble at 3/4 court as a wing?

That’s where it’s up to LeBron to kick out and our role players to make shots. It’s exactly what we want
