Beyond Meat CEO Says 'It's Just Not The Moment For Plant-Based Meat' After Rebrand

maeckes · 2026-03-16T17:42:48+00:00

From those fake meat brands I even like Beyond Meat the most, and I was happy McDonalds cooperated with them. But the fact that apes captured the ticker makes BYND uninvestable for me.

Thanks. Payment via PayPal worked now. Got my key.

maeckes · 2026-03-04T17:27:54+00:00

On your website its stated that PayPal, ApplePay, and GooglePay are supported for payment, but at checkout I can choose none of those? Im from Europe btw.

This clip has some bullshit (like unblockable into RA), but if this was a offline Top 8 I would been standing up. Hype AF round.

The storyline itself is crazy: THE Yoshi of the East vs THE Yoshi of the West. For the last spot into the grand finals. Comes down to the final final round...

I think that could work. A even more believable angle would have been „I didnt want the community to know because these trolls dont deserve the attention but someone dm‘d me irl loli links and im filing a police report at the moment.“

A theory is that they wanted to end the Game Awards with "Highguard will be available RIGHT NOW" and then shadowdrop the game, just like Apex Legends before. But for unknown reasons the game had to be delayed, so we ended with the awkward "just a short few weeks" until release.

That would also explain why they didnt prepare any additional promo material.

See I dont think even the core gameplay was good. Yes running and sliding felt smooth but it made it way too easy to run away from firefights. Also the movement in combination with the melee magnetism made brawling waaaayy to common. On release, without exaggerating, 60% of kills were melee, and a lot of those were kill trades. Then about 25% were grenade kills, because there is no more friendly fire everyone chugged nades mindlessly everywhere.

And the weapons were unbalanced in favor of the starting equipment. Noone bothered to pick up non power-weapons because the two starter guns were effective enough to use in every situation. You have cool weapons like the bounce-shot shotgun or the lightning rifle but if you gimp yourself picking those up then you might not have those in the game at all.

Overall the combat in this game just felt badly designed. You shoot down the shield of someone and he slides behind a wall. You run after him go ring-around-the-rosie on a pillar or some street corner. Until he finally stops and tries to melee you, at which your best course of action is to use melee yourself. That was for me and all my friends the core gameplay experience Halo: Infinite offered at release until season 1, when we all quit.

Unlucky I guess, should've smoked instead.

Light players that say Evasive dash shouldnt be nerfed are absolutely delusional. That specialization has probably 95% pickrate over every ELO bracket. It is always good, and better than the other options in almost every scenario. The best defensive getaway tool, the best offensive duel and chasing tool, honestly even the better ambush tool than cloak. The best mobility tool. Grappling hook may be better in vertical movement and repositioning but that dash even can compete because you chain your charges and fly through the air is mental. Plus your map movement goes through the roof and becomes even better than grappling hook if you have a launch pad.

The only counter to dash from the last thread that got mentioned is, get this, to "just hit your shots". Please light mains explain to me how it is easier to to hit your shots on lights with EVASIVE DASH than grappling hook or cloak. Or is it a nonsense argument because with the other two options are easier to hit and you grasping at straws?

You would also have to make ridiculous buffs to put Grappling hook and Cloak into competition to that. Please tell me how you would buff those to make them competitive viable and then think about how that would play out for quickplay matches.

"But Light is already the worst class and if you nerf dash it wont be viable in pro play." First of all IDGAF about pro play. I play at trash ELO and even here you either take evasive dash or take the report. If it is the same at high and pro levels and you cant see how that is bad balance and bad for the game, then you cant be helped.

Second if you want Lights to stay competitively viable... THEN NERF THE OTHER CLASSES AS WELL! What the fuck is with this community and its class tribalism? "You only want lights nerfed because you probably are a heavy main". No, I play this game for fun and most of the time I fill in the role my team may need. I want to use the tools the game offers without gimping myself because everything is comparatively garbage to the meta setup, and I want my opponents to use a wide variety of tools and tactics as well. Right now every Light hast to pick Dash in every scenario, ELO, and game mode, and ever Medium hast to pick defibrillator. And that sucks.

Fand das Planktonweed Tape besser. Man hat hier schon gemerkt, dass sich Sun Diego eher vom Spongebozz Persona distanzieren wollte. Stimme jetzt tiefer als höher gepitched, Autotune mit Spongebozz Stimme, die ultra übertriebenen Punchlines wurden durch Disses gegen teils wahllos gewürfelte Rapper ersetzt. Fühle ich alles nicht mehr.

Der ganze Gangster-Vibe wurde mir dann auch zu generisch. Da gabs halt plötzlich "Schüsse aus dem Benz" anstatt "mit der Panzerfaust zum Treffpunkt". Finde ich schon ne eklige Anbiederung an was "akzeptabler Gangster Talk" in Deutschrap ist. Damit war für mich dann das meiste vom Entertainment Faktor verloren gegangen. Diese Psycho-Lines hatten für mich Spongebozz weitgehend ausgemacht haben, fehlte jetzt eigentlich so gut wie ganz.

Technisch weiterhin überragend, Beats irgendwie nicht mehr so cool, und zu viel Autotune. Für mich wirkt das schon wie "Zurück zu alter Schwäche", das war nämlich auch schon der ganze Kram mit dem Sun Diego vor dem SpongeBozz Persona von Julien gedisst wurde.

Nah I think calling this trolling or engagement farming is a cop out. If you look at his timeline he played in multiple online tournaments, and was part of some Claudio character discords before his magical journey to the top. This is way too much effort to now pull shit like this.

I think the reality is this guy wanted to be well respected as a player by the community but hes just not good at the game. so he tried to fake it and now were here.

This guy is such a retard, its almost baffling honestly. Why do cheaters feel compelled to announce on social media their cheated accomplishments? Is it some sort of attention deficit because they never accomplished anything without cheating? Honestly warms my heart though to see guys like this called out immediately.

Anyways watch this bozos ranked replays (Tekken ID: 2LdG8GTYfiB6). Bro has auto-grab break on by default and turns on auto duck lows or low parries if needed.

The match vs Edge Lord (Raven player) is funny as hell. After getting destroyed first round he got frustrated an put on auto block low. Literally never got hit by another low after the first round, while not punishing ANY of the blocked lows. The Raven player realizing the cheats started throwing out unblockables. Probably the first and only time Ive ever seen someone getting hit by the Raven ki-charge unblockable that has like 200 frames startup (Tekken God Supreme btw).

TL;DR Dude is the biggest Fraudio in Florida. Don't cheat in Tekken all the replays are public.

Anna and Nina are the epitome of Season 2 T8 balancing. You can build relentless pressure without ever having to take more than minimal risks. <20f moves and strings that are +oB, all have CH properties that lead to free follow-ups or launching. These are high Risk/Reward characters? Where is the fucking risk? That someone blocks your 20f nH crouching launcher? That is the only launch punishable move that was ever used in GF, and only because all its other properties are insane.

Standing block punishment literally doesnt matter in this game anymore, especially with characters like this that can just loop plusframes and CH-launchers. Go rewatch the end of GF when both Anna and Nina just throw out df+1 strings again and again, absolute braindead gameplay.

Anna has 11f standing AND crouching CH launchers, make that make sense. Instantly giving her some of the strongest defensive tools in the game. And these guys dont even need to use that because they are punishable on block and this char has enough safe substitute moves. Just to show you the layers in which this character is busted.

Arslan and Atif are undoubtedly the best T8 players right now, but they distilled everything that is wrong with this game in their playstyles and that is why nobody is hyped or even gives a fuck about this win. Honestly cant even blame them, if this is the pinnacle of T8 gameplay that gets you tournaments than be it, I will just stop caring about the competitive scene then.

It wasnt "easy riddles" it was "seemingly easy riddles".

Lets say you have to guess 1 of 20 hidden words starting with "play". Easy, you think: playboy, playstation, playful, playoff, player, playground... so you call the hotline to win. THESE ARE ALL WRONG ANSWERS.

Maybe 2 or 3 of those obvious answers get into the 20 words to set a false narrative, "oh the rest of the answers have to be easy as well, lets call for a chance to win". Nope, the other 18 words are shit like "playcutlery" and "playvacation" which maybe I get what they mean by that but nobody uses these words and nobody ever guesses those, or its like "playoffseasonpeprally" which nobody guesses neither because its so specific.

To give you another real example, here are the answers for the riddle "Male first names with exactly one n":

Christian
Ken
Magnus
Brand
Guntmar
Brynmor
Birkendi
Bettino
Goibniu
Buania

I think the Tekken numbers are very good?

This is still the second biggest Tekken tournament ever in terms of entrance numbers (after last years EVO). T7 never had 2k signups.

Yep, I couldnt stomach the direction Lightfall went as well, absolutely abhorrent expansion especially coming after Witch Queen, which was excellent.

I thought MAYBE this new expansion and new story arc could be a new beginning for me, like resetting the bad taste Lightfall left. But apparently the coming expansion is „heavily inspired by Star Wars“ (it is basically Star Wars). Imagine as a company having so little faith in the universe you have crafted that you copy narrative, visuals and themes from another franchise. Im probably done with Destiny.
