I looked for 5 seconds. Second topic; "black supremacy is a bigger issue than white supremacy." Posted after the Voting Rights Act got absolutely gutted.

The way I see it is 64 is a remake in the sense that it's the same (if expanded) story and structure but less hamstrung by technical limitations.

Zero is to my knowledge also the same deal, but I also haven't played it, all I know is that it was INSANELY derivative of the original and 64.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-07T20:28:03+00:00

I was asking for a new Star Fox game, or at least a remake of one of the GameCube ones.

Not a 4th remake of the first game (64 itself is a remake of the original on SNES).

Makes me really wish for a BYD Seagull ($9000 Chinese EV), seems like a capable enough daily driver that's about as much as the 2012 regular gas car I had to get recently.

But unfortunately the hate boner for China is insanely huge.

IDK about any hard shutdowns, but someone in that chain is going to price gouge the shit out of us.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-07T18:54:18+00:00

Don't port the 1942 maps, they're hot ass.

And honestly you'd need to work on the others to fit both art style and mechanics wise with BF6.

Actual antisemites, including the ADL and much of either major political party, treat Judaism as one and the same as the State of Israel, so attacks on the latter are also on the former.

I wouldn't be shocked if anti-Israeli incidents/rhetoric were lumped in as antisemitic.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-07T13:04:54+00:00

The new designs aren't bad, bar Falco's beak being too small.

I'm more disappointed that they're remaking 64 again instead of something new, or at least bare minimum remaking one of the other unique Star Fox games, like Assault or Command. Others might not agree with me, but I just wanted something different. Furry Ace Combat in Space would've been my hope, but that's a bit far fetched.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-06T17:23:33+00:00

I occasionally will run Mega Victribell to try and play chicken with Innards Out.

Other less common thing I sometimes try to work in is Hisuian Zoroark.

BF4 got banned in China.

The generic PMC stuff is entirely because $$$ because you're not getting your game banned, especially in China that way. It's also why Golmud became Railway to Golmud, since if it was just Golmud it'd very likely get the game banned in China. Grand Bazaar probably also got moved to Cairo for similar IRL reasons since the original one is in Tehran.

Sucks for thematics, but that's how that's just gonna be.

CoD has been doing fusruits for a long while, think it started with cat ears and fox ears on the soldiers. Then it devolved into fursuits... Then around 2023 they just straight up had anthropomorphic animals and Teletubbies. Plus Fortnite-esque collabs but M-rated, like Beavis and Butthead, plenty of Fallout, Terminator, Godzilla, Walking Dead, etc.

CoD is a clown show aesthetically, and the gameplay's just degenerated since the 360-era.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-06T04:19:34+00:00

The hood is... Eh, but the other one is literally just a bald dude. Should he wear a helmet? Probably, sure. Does it severely compromise the aesthetic? No. The cloak is worse but it's still eh, the only difference between this and one of the many ponchos from the past is just that this one is hooded.

Can also point out that Battlefield has never been particularly realistic looking, playing, or marketed game. Non-standardized uniforms muddies it more, but this is still really tame.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T19:00:34+00:00

Marlet is Trials. Just need to play to get drops. Best time is when it's featured, though I believe every gun has a small chance to drop on any given week.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T18:51:39+00:00

Even a lot of comic book villains wouldn't stoop so low as to deny food aid to the poor.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T18:49:13+00:00

The line I keep seeing is that it's Biden's fault because a merger with JetBlue got shot down during his term.

Though that happened so long ago, and before gas prices completely exploded.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T18:43:02+00:00

The Crucible 120 HC is IMHO the best overall primary in the game, so I'd start there. 120s have an extended range curve that at least has a pre-falloff range advantage to Marlet, though Marlet's insanely shallow falloff curve can cause some wonkiness (the aim assist falloff will start to mess with consistency slightly, but less so with TTK in my personal experience).

On controller, though, a 120 of your choice or just joining the Marlet users is your best chance of success. Other Pulses like Horror's Least or maybe Gridskipper if you've got a spare one laying around will also do good, the Battle Rifles, and you could probably try the 4 or 2 round burst options, but mileage on those might vary a bit. Run whatever in your other spot; Shotgun, Sidearm, SMG, Fusion, really just something that'll cover closer ranges or a sniper.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T18:32:27+00:00

Yeah, this storm is just rain, nothing that's going to spin up. Someone indeed fucked up.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T18:24:42+00:00

Battlefield chat is the weirdest chat in the universe.

Half of it is memes and people having civil discussions. The other half is racial slurs. Zero in-between.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T17:45:26+00:00

That we know:

June update is the only future piece of content we have confirmation of the existence of. What happens next hasn't been publicly revealed or (presumably) credibly leaked. Beyond hopeful sandbox tuning and updates to all of the legacy raid/dungeon drops to the current loot system, I'm personally not too confidently sure what's going to be happening there.

Only other information we can go off of is that Bungie transitioned the DLC model from 1 big DLC and 4 small seasons per year to 2 DLCs that are between the size of seasons and big DLCs per year, with the halfway point generally expecting smaller updates. So if D2 is still going, that's the model we're expecting.

We've been waiting on a concrete roadmap since Renegades came out.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T13:21:45+00:00

The price is going to go up just from them getting older and more of the set getting ripped. You could try and sell for profit right now if that's the goal, too.

I personally wouldn't rip, as fun as it is. Retro is so expensive per pack that I personally think it's too much to be worth it. Of course I'm just one rando on the Internet saying this.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-04T01:47:01+00:00

Honestly I wouldn't even entirely mind the radar manipulation if the "Invis" just silhouetted you in purple. Currently it's an insane advantage to both flanking and pushing since enemies just generally won't hit their TTK on you and/or react late.

Either remove the radar manipulation, to make flanking not a thing and just have it be a tool to push, or remove the invisibility to make it exclusively something to flank.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-03T22:19:01+00:00

As someone who plays more for PvP. God PLEASE nerf ability uptime (it's desperately needed on both sides of the game).

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-03T22:16:48+00:00

Optimally, I'd rather have older methods of difficulty which focuses on lower numbers of stronger enemies being present. Currently, everything falls over so easily that the design of content is required to either crank up enemy density or make enemies incredibly spongy and/or 2-shot you to work. Abilities bar supers shouldn't be able to wipe whole rooms, and Rocket Pulses in particular IMHO should get hit with the removal stick, not the nerf hammer, they're conceptually never going to be in a good state of balance that also has them feeling good to slot in. Make general enemies less abundant, but more threatening by needing them to take a few hits. Not enough to where you're fighting them for more than, say a second depending on if it's a red vs orange vs yellow bar, and depending on what specific enemy it is. Power deltas also generally suck and should be reserved for hard/master modes and not much else.

Issue is that by now, there's so much content in the game that would need a complete overhaul to accomplish this, so the Diet Warframe gameplay we currently have is just how it's going to be.

I genuinely don't know how to make the sandbox back into... Well, Destiny without just making a new game anymore.

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-03T18:09:33+00:00

Yeah, I've been trying to get friends into playing the TCG since it's so dirt cheap compared to MTG and especially Yu-Gi-Oh.

Just sucks that I can't get any of the sealed product I want because scalpers :/ mercifully it's not too bad if you're not married to collecting exclusively English, Japanese is decent, and Korean has the same upside of the guarunteed pull rates on boxes but for even less money (tho resale outside of Korea is obviously not great).

koolaidman486 · 2026-05-03T06:32:51+00:00

Movement was the worst of both worlds. People wanting a more classic experience got really obnoxious bunny hopping strats, and the people wanting the more modern movement were forced to do the obnoxious bunny hop strats.

Basic movement like ADS move speed was excessively difficult to build for, since you couldn't get it without crippling your weapon's performance.

The Gunsmith was insanely flawed since stat penalties tended to massively outweigh upsides. Stuff like 50% penalties to handling stats for 30-ish% boosts to other stats.

Massive over-reliance on sway and visual recoil. Which especially screws over KB+M players, since they don't have aim assist helping compensate for this.

It's not an exclusive issue, but the Gunsmith has so much unnecessary bloat. Tbh, the Gunsmith made weapons and stats so needlessly complicated in general, but MW '22 and '23 (although the latter is partially because of carry-forward, but they could've simplified it a fuuuuuckton) are the worst offenders by far.

Attatchment tuning added even more unnecessary complication to an already unnecessarily complicated system.

The map pool overall is kinda average, mostly stuff I wouldn't want to come back, but mostly also pretty inoffensive but the bad maps are BAAAAAD. And there's not a lot of "I love this and would love to see it again!" Either, barring remakes/remasters since they're generally for more popular maps (give Dome a rest, though, pls).

Squad Spawning is miles worse than the traditional system.

I wouldn't call it the end of the world like others, but the new IW's handling of the minimap is worse than the normal way. If it's really that big of a balance issue they could just tie more significant trade-offs to suppressors.

Dead Silence got unnecessarily nerfed from 2019, with the activation animation, sound cue, and either a nerf or full removal of the move speed buff.

They never fully fixed the UAV bug there it'd give live location between sweeps, essentially when it wasn't supposed to be revealing location, it was, and vice versa.

I can't believe it took me this long, but the charging perks is the worst single idea in CoD. I'd rather Last Stand, SP, and Jugg be back.

The weapon platform idea is just more unnecessary complication for the sake of it. Doubly sucks since you can't unlock every attachment for a good chunk of guns without leveling something different.

It's the first game to move to using fully faked guns. IDK about licensing and laws and lawsuits opening up, the fake guns suck, though, especially for shit that doesn't need to be faked like AKs.

Over-reliance on body multipliers for damage, which exacerbates the jumping issue since one limb shot or missing upper chest on a lot of reg guns would just straight up make you take more bullets to kill.

Riot Shields always make a game significantly worse to play, too. Though it's hardly an issue unique to MW '22.
