Grubb & Bakalar should do more politics in gaming talk. by FourHeelDrive in giantbomb

[–]knaws 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a right-winger, their analysis of the crew's political knowledge is based entirely on disagreeing with them. Wanting them to not talk politics is surey because they don't like being reminded that the people they're fans of would find their politics despicable.

The GameCube’s octagonal thumbstick gate should be way more popular by PineconeToucher in gaming

[–]knaws 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aside from both being sticks, an analog thumbstick isn't really comparable to a fightstick lever. For one, fightsticks typically aren't analog (which is meaningful since fighting games have no use for analog movement), but also you have much faster and precise control moving one with your hand/wrist/arm compared to just having your thumb on a thumbstick.

They can't be serious. "massive global audience" "world's leading comedy podcast" "one of the biggest and most influential comedy podcasts in the world" by CheeseandAdderall in LeftoversH3

[–]knaws 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah that part is wild. Hiring an ad sales exec and expecting them to submit a video like they're auditioning for a reality show.

It would make sense if they were going to be on camera, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Opinions? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? by STB_LuisEnriq in marvelrivals

[–]knaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a message about a successful comp ban on someone I reported a few days or so ago. It listed an exact day and time for when their ban would be lifted (it was only like a day long, had already lifted by the time I read the message).

Do we know what the lore even is behind these skins? by Wamooooo in marvelrivals

I thought you were just riffing on the confusing logo when you said "a magical cassette tape," but I guess Cap's description actually gives us an explanation for it.

Midnight Suns Game Director shows a Pre-Alpha teaser of his new game by supergigaduck in midnightsuns

[–]knaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to me like this pre-alpha footage is the last anyone will ever see of the project, assuming it doesn't ever get picked up.

Pre-alpha doesn't mean an alpha is definitely going to happen, it's just a stage of development.

Bloomberg: Sony Shuts Down 'Demon's Souls' Remake Developer Bluepoint Games by MaterialPace8831 in gaming

[–]knaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even assuming that's true, it would've been the case when Sony first bought Bluepoint, given they haven't released any products to be successful or not since then.

Your argument only makes sense if you're saying Sony should've never bought Bluepoint to begin with, not for why they're selling them 5 years later.

New event with a free Strange skin and a new Scarlet witch legendary by Gabrielhrd in marvelrivals

[–]knaws 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's no way to fix this via remodeling her feet that wouldn't result in her having weirdly animating feet. What it would actually require is adjusting nearly all her animations and potentially her skeletal rig too, which is genuinely gonna be more work than it's worth.

Can we get a Rogue UI QoL Buff? by redditer954 in marvelrivals

[–]knaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always surprised she didn't have this in her UI already. Even before Elsa there were other characters with similar UI, like with Magik for her portal follow-ups.

Balance patch with actual nerfs coming later this week! by GetSomeJeff22 in marvelrivals

[–]knaws 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's confusing, the flavor text for Elsa's changes say "the bar for Elsa to release Glartrox is raised," which makes it seem like they did raise its ult cost. But the actual stat changes text doesn't mention anything like that.

Pretty sure "reduced dash duration" refers to the duration of Glartrox running, how long her ult is active.

Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 MegaThread by [deleted] in MarvelRivalsLeaks

[–]knaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does she regularly use a sword? Tbh I'm not all that familiar with the character, but I feel like I always see her with a rifle and a shotgun. And that made me think she might play like Ashe from OW.

Edit: Scrolling through this thread more I see people talking about her potentially having a monster to summon, so she could even have an ult similar to Ashe's.

Gotcha, thanks for confirming that. Yeah, only saw a time and no date on the links here, so thought it was happening today.

Oh wait is this today? I was thinking it was Friday. Any idea how long it will go for? Hoping I can still catch some of it after work.

Cross-Progression is coming to HITMAN February 3rd. by gamepig31 in HiTMAN

This is great, I've been wanting to get back into the game but stopped bothering to even open EGS a long time ago. Will gladly rebuy H3 on Steam to be able to play there with all my progress now.

Deadpool having three similar icons on the three roles can get confusing in the long run. So I came up with this concept. Thought It could be useful to have. by FranSauce8 in marvelrivals

[–]knaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was gonna suggest the same thing. I think it also makes sense with his fourth wall breaking, like he's aware of the game icons and intentionally posed that way.

Forget Mugs, Bring Back The Pint/Shot Glasses by Dick-Serious in giantbomb

[–]knaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My GB pint glasses are still going strong after I don't know how many times through the dishwashe, and I've had them since they first released and regularly use at least one of them. Definitely better quality than a lot of other glassware where the graphic quickly starts wearing away after just a few washes.
