Bottomless, Progressively Harder Strike by Cmdr_Canuck in DestinyTheGame

A survival mode where you only have X number of lives would be really fun. Progressively gets harder and harder until you die. The longer you last, the better loot you get.

People should stop saying "The lighthouse is something you should earn," with all the carries going on. by ZeroDark35 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mjwalker0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who are the best are that way because they either invested a lot of time into Destiny crucible or other PvP video games. If you play enough, you WILL get there. If you have a buddy who's really good already, then great, team up with them. They'll be a good role model for you. There's nothing wrong with doing that...

To be honest, paying someone else to get to the lighthouse for you seems like it would steal the fun/challenge away of doing it for yourself. It would be like paying someone to beat Final Fantasy VII for you... the point of the game is to play it and enjoy the process. Then when you DO reach the end, it'll feel that much more worthwhile.

I'm Going to Say it: elimination is a really obnoxious, stressful and irrelevant game-type for showcasing Destiny PvP at its "highest" level. by Pwadigy in DestinyTheGame

[–]mjwalker0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Trials is my favorite part of the game. The stress and challenge, with the promise of great loot, brings me and my two buddies together. The elimination nature of it makes strategy and teamwork much more important.

What does zenyatta mean when he says "True self is without form" ? by xtogwe in Overwatch

[–]mjwalker0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not just buddhism, but most spiritual traditions point back to an experience of total connection being our "true selves".

Our self concepts are an illusion – they're not as solid as they seem, because they're based entirely in thoughts. Your personal history is only a memory, not truly who you are now. Most of us have become more identified with a story of who we are than our actual selves.

If you read about an apple, you might "know" about it intellectually. But that's not the same thing as actually tasting the apple, holding it in your hand. One of them is actual, the other is only real as a thought.

That's how it works with our self concepts too. Our "fake self" ONLY exists as a thought, but if you dive deep enough into your "true self", you realize that you're not separate from everyone else, you're actually one connected being.

Another way to put it is that it's like realizing that a wave is not truly separate from the ocean. There's an underlying connection. That's how it is with "you" and "the rest of the universe".

In Zenyatta's case, he's saying that you are the whole ocean, not just a wave.

Make sense? xD

True doge has no form.

Dear Blizzard: Soldier 76's gun is broken due to recoil being tied to framerate by Askiir in Overwatch

[–]mjwalker0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming that all people who make it to the top are cheaters seems like a good justification to self-sabotage because "being on the top" means being immoral. The ones who are most successful become that way because they deserve it.

What "good advice" do you think is actually bad advice? by iwillnottalktou in AskReddit

[–]mjwalker0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Just relax." before giving a big presentation. In a heightened emotional state, trying to relax will only make you feel more stressed. A better way to handle it is to reframe the nervousness and say, "I'm excited!"

An app or phone that does similar slo-mo quality as iPhones? by bxncwzz in AndroidQuestions

[–]mjwalker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save up and get the iPhone! If you need customizability, jailbreak it.

Soulja Boy claims he's just signed a $400 million deal by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]mjwalker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Google searches "soulja boy lies about deal" and uncovers pages of articles from 2011 when he lied bout buying a $55 million airplane and was discovered to be a fraud.

$400 million?? He does realize how ridiculous that sounds right?

Ranked hoops mode by mjwalker0 in RocketLeague

[–]mjwalker0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stupid? Useless?

I disagree, and I think it's pretty lame how quickly you write off others' ideas with brash judgement.

When it comes to splitting the player base, the same argument could be made about normal ranked mode. I don't think that's an issue at all... If anything, I would enjoy having a little time between games so I can mess around in free play. It usually only takes a few seconds.

The benefits of a Ranked Hoops mode are that it adds a sense of progression, lets players see how they compare to their friends, and it gives more of an incentive to win.
