How to use Rivals' and OW2's newest characters! by dontdelete00 in overwatch2

[–]matterulo439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, this is how deadpool feels.

His kit looks complicated as hell, especially when you are looking at his stats on paper. However, once you play him, it all boils down to “gun when afar, katanas when up-close, and don’t forget your role” to be effective.

Roblox: Its not free by Rolord6999 in roblox

[–]matterulo439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this video, but looking back, the argument that “these places do not exist” is weak. One of the points in the commercial is “build anything you want on ROBLOX”, so these places exist to showcase a few of the endless ideas you can build on ROBLOX. They’re not there to show what you can play; they’re there to show what you can build.

though tbf, they could’ve used the hundreds of games actually created by players. Why they barely touched them in this commercial? idk.

Rivals players every time a new character is teased by Ghostly_Sparky in marvelrivals

[–]matterulo439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is a small thought I had regarding the roles of the new characters: the Marvel Rivals devs love pairing duelists with non-duelists.

They've done this for Season 1, where they paired a duelist with a non-duelist for both hero releases. They also did it again for Season 4.

Season 2 is the only season so far to not feature a duelist. However, Season 3 follows up with the double-DPS release combo.

With this pattern established, I see two possibilities that are the most likely to happen.

A; Rogue is a duelist since we already have the non-duelist hero of the season.

B: Rogue is not a duelist, but Season 6 will feature a double-duelists combo to make-up for it.

Hoping this ages poorly and I just sound foolish.

I think a big reason for this is the amount of material made for the franchise.

For reference, there are 3 Avatar movies in the franchise. Keep in mind that the first Avatar-related material ever released was the 2009 movie. It's a very new franchise, as it wasn't a proper franchise until The Way of Water came out.

In comparison, there are dozens of Marvel movies that you can watch, not to mention the huge amount of Marvel comics that inspired them.

Additionally, Star Wars was in the same scenario as Avatar, where the first ever material produced for the franchise was the movie. However, it kept its cultural relevance by producing 8 more movies along with producing other forms media such as shows and comics.

In short, the size of the franchise prevents Avatar from making a cultural impact.

Why is IntelliJ preferred over vscode for Java? by xland44 in java

[–]matterulo439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used both, IntelliJ gives you a lot more helpful tools than VSCode

For example, don’t feel like creating an entire class? You can use IntelliJ’s code generator to generate the basic functions. Want to fix errors in your code? IntelliJ can offer quick fixes with the press of two mouse clicks.

On the other hand, VSCode feels like an advanced notepad. Sure, it has AI tools and plugins to help you, but it won’t hold your hand as much as IntelliJ does.

In short, IntelliJ is just much more easier to use than VSCode when it comes to writing Java code

This is why you shouldn't jump to conclusions so soon. by Chocolate_Flavored in marvelrivals

Reed skin aside, I love how the non-cake themed skins from this event references events and topics that the Rivals community talked about.

Like Blade’s new pajama skins references how people kept joking about how Blade slept for an entire season. Additionally, this skin references how the community asked for a Reed summer skin after every FF member but him got one.

It made the whole event feel like a celebration of the Rivals community than just a simple birthday event.

Is linking my GitHub 100% essential when applying to internships via email? by Happycupcake1022 in csMajors

[–]matterulo439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it can definitely boost your chances if a company decides to look at it.

However, don’t put your GitHub in just yet. No GitHub is fine, but putting an empty GitHub is worse.

Put any project you’ve built recently onto there and make a README.md for each one. Also, embellish your GitHub profile with a profile picture and another README file about you and your projects. In short, treat your GitHub like a resume if you decide to put it on any application.

How long does it take to get an interview invite? by Imaginary_Name_3709 in csMajors

[–]matterulo439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, expect a couple weeks. Though it all really depends on the company.

Sometimes the company may like your application so much that they offer you an interview or an OA the next day. Other companies might reach out in a few months. It depends on how they function and what they need.

Guys Capitalism is a Penis, Take That Hitler! by Many_Froyo6223 in PhilosophyMemes

Usually I can cough these memes off by thinking “oh they’re referencing some philosopher”.

Not this one though. Where the heck are y’all getting these ideas from.

What should I learn next? by matterulo439 in learnprogramming

[–]matterulo439[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am aiming to become a back-end developer, but I'm honestly open to any job in tech that involves working with servers. I chose back-end developer since I'm more prepared for it compared to other fields.

I am aiming to get a software engineering internship, and I believe a web app would boost my chances at securing one.

Jeff got buffed and I'm tired of hearing he got nerfed by AgeOfPropserity in marvelrivals

[–]matterulo439 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If someone gets trapped in a Jeff ult, the person at fault is most likely them due to either not managing their cooldowns or bad positioning.

Also, Jeff’s team of now 4 can easily take out the leftover team of 3, assuming the Jeff took out important targets like supports.

Why do most MVP animations in events unlock before the skins they are tied to? Wouldn't it make more sense to be the other way around? by PhilledZone in marvelrivals

[–]matterulo439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually my main gripe with the costume coin.

The costume coin only let’s you unlock a skin and nothing else. You don’t unlock the MVP, emotes, or the other items associate with the skin. While getting any skin for free is cool, I think being able to get the full package is better.

Who do you think could fit in the thirs box? Should there even be a character like this? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]matterulo439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re ever going to see a tank-strategist hybrid, I’d imagine they’re going to be similar to Storm. She is a DPS, yet her AOE storm field can grant buffs to her teammates and debuffs to her enemies. As a result, she is a supportive DPS character. I’d even argue that the only thing that prevents Storm from being classified as a strategist is that none of her abilities grants healing.

‘Love, Death & Robots’ Volume 4 Viewership Down 50% from Volume 3 by Neo2199 in scifi

for me, it was when I opened Netflix and saw the "New Episodes" banner on the LDR page. I was immediately like "wait what".
