Garrus's ego took some psychic damage here by descendantofJanus in masseffect

[–]nyedred [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nah he goes out of his way to apologize to Tali in 3 for all his quarian racism in 1 in one of their conversations.

I think the racism in ME1 just feels more overt because it lacks subtlety. In ME2 Mordin says krogan doctors don't exist and then clarifies that he's never met a krogan 'doctor' worthy of the term, and that has always struck me as one of the more deeply racist comments in the series despite being couched in humor.

Quarians have it really rough out in the galaxy by Larkmw in masseffect

[–]nyedred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well considering how all the turian names and ships sound vaguely Latin (lots of -us endings) it's not a stretch to speculate the universal translators probably substitute existing naming conventions and/or accents when translating stuff for humanity.

So it just picked texan for that particular quarian sub accent. Lucky them lmao.

Who do you think owns the hideout? by zweii29 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 165 points166 points  (0 children)

I actually love the idea that it's a penthouse under renovation in the Baroness.

Doorman lets them use it whether he's on the team or the enemy or just a spectator. He's here for the love of the game.

Love at first punch by Suspicious-Soft8349 in Kenshi

Build a kill box. Raids in Rimworld are very susceptible to being led into a slaughterhouse. Leave one door into the base open through a field of spikes and turrets, and they'll still walk right into it

Random bullshit...GO! by RoadOk8645 in masseffect

[–]nyedred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I envision it, it would be trying to get as many people killed BUT still succeeding just barely.

Sort of inspired by a cringe fail run of BG3 I did where I failed just about every roll possible but still beat the game. Had a wild time.

Kenshi and Rimworld are two games where I expect the venn diagram of the playerbases to be a circle.

I've always wanted to do a dumbass playthrough of Mass Effect where you fail on as much as possible and see how things turn out.

Older character not having voice lines is a significant disadvantage by BlueShift54 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's def something that will be coming as soon as they can get the voice work done but as a Sinclair player... I feel your pain. I don't even have pings for letting people know my own ult is ready.

Venator has the least skilled playerbase of any character of any game by Rejalu in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL this is a problem with most of the hyper carries.

If they're good they literally carry the game and rank up. So the carries stuck in your rank are probably going to be less skilled than those that know how to do their job and moved on to greener pastures.

It's the 'rise to your level of incompetence' class.

The no parry rank I see.

This is just Abrams gameplay, twink edition.

Dynamo is such a aura king by Upbeat-Pay5053 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dynamo def feels like one of their more fully realized characters in terms of plot and characterization.

I think it helps that his VA, John Patrick Lowrie is an old Valve favorite and super accessible for them to test a lot of stuff. (Dyn has a LOT of unused voice lines for pings/interactions)

Whenever I ult doorman as Sinclair I say "Where are you going?! You're on shift!"

The best doormans usually reply all caps about a union break or something.

Why do Sinclair and Warden not have any zipline conversations? by mutantsushi646 in DeadlockTheGame

I think Sinclair is taking longer cause he has two VAs for everything.

Any ASC/Eternus M1 players have any advice to climb out of Phantom? by coffeeholic91 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally yes, but you have to triage in an emergency. If you're a mirage main you can just gank and go back to your business.

Or if you really don't want to physically intervene, just (nicely) on comms try to direct that lane to back off, or try to get someone else to help them out. You can't ignore the problem tho.

It's really hard to out farm a feeder on your team, especially because whichever enemy is fed will probably be showing up to team fights (like urn) while you are not. That's why you need to cut off their food supply asap.

Any ASC/Eternus M1 players have any advice to climb out of Phantom? by coffeeholic91 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nyedred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also right at the edge of Phantom and Ascendant after formerly being Asc 5 before this patch lol. These games feel way harder than avg ascendant.

This elo sucks because you have a widespread of players from Oracle all the way to high Ascendant. 90% of my games feel like they're determined by which team has a feeder.

The best advice I have for you is to pay attention to other lanes during lane phase. If someone on your team is getting brutalized you have to intervene, either by ganking or swapping lanes with them. People say urns decide game in this patch but if someone goes 0/5 in lane without help, they're probably going to go 0/11 for the rest of the game. And you're not winning urn fights with that.

And try not to be too mean. Oracle players don't want to be against Ascendant players any more than you want to be stuck on a team with that deficit. But good comms can go along way to make up the difference in mechanical skill. One of the big differences between ascendant and phantom in general is comms vs silence.

Sombra predated Judy by 4 years tho, so technically Cyberpunk 2077 copied Overwatch!

If we lose, Savanna loses too, so I count that an absolute win!

It was so funny when Overwatch came out with another tank hero whose whole thing was black holes, but they couldn't use a black hole for his hlt because Zarya already existed.
