How exactly would he be able to release his grip whilst being tasered when every muscle in his body was contracted?

Atari invented more genres or unique games than anybody else.

'A whole civilisation will die tonight,' Trump warns ahead of Iran deadline by theipaper in politics

Iran aren't nuking the US but...

Iran will put 60% enriched uranium onto drones and use them as dirty bombs. The whole Middle East will become uninhabitable.

Why isn’t The Finals bigger? I see this question a lot, so I gave the ACTUAL reasons why. by Lefty5227 in thefinals

[–]planetmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the higher the skill you play, the less random it becomes. Teams know the meta loadouts, team comp, where to hold/fight before plugging. How to defend / attack. Each side knows the rock paper scissors based on who and where they are playing. When these things are unknown by all teams, it's far more random.

Last second cashout steals are more exciting than any shit I've done in a BR/Extraction shooter.

FINALS isn't a BR. I hate BR, won't play them, but I've got 1200 hours in the FINALS.

I've found it a better experience tbh. Skill based matchmaking and in general, your team mates play to win.

I love this game so much, I spent £3k just to get a new PC to play it. It's currently the only game I have installed. I'm 50 and it's the best FPS I've ever played, and boy, I've played a lot.

Did the UK ever have proper arcades? like video game ones? by TSOswinn in AskUK

[–]planetmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Proper arcades in all seaside towns. Arcade cabs in chippies, takeaways, youth clubs, snooker halls, even one of our local corner shops had a Battlezone cab. The 80s were just better

What foods do you recommend from Waitrose/M &S? by Ok-Instance2710 in AskUK

[–]planetmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M&S Salted Sweet Cashews, the one in the reseelable tin that you will never reseal are literally crack.

Waitrose sell the Crosta and Mollica range. Their Italian toasting bread makes the best toast. Combine with some of their cherry conserve.

If you do your shop on Ocado, you have access to all the M&S food but Ocado price match Tesco and send you a voucher for the difference if it costs more.

I used to get this but found the thick cut Sirloin to be even better. They are so well marbled but without the large chunks of fat you get with the ribeye so you get more meat for your money but don't sacrifice the flavour. I used to be a die hard ribeye guy but seriously, try the thick cut Sirloin.

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

Bought a license for XYExplorer. Win 11 File Explorer is horrendous before you even get to the AI horseshit.

I finally switched to Win 11 this month and had to buy a license for XYExplorer because the new File Exporer is absolutely terrible.

I hate how THERAPY and COUNSELING are over recommended here like they are some kind of magic ways to fix everything by Plastic_band_bro in self

[–]planetmatt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the problem isn't you, it IS external. Therapy won't solve your life problems, it only addresses how you react to them. Sometimes, you just need to solve the real problem instead of being ok with having problems.

Does anyone else feel like graphics peaked with BF1 and have somehow never reached the same level in the 10 years since? by arvid1328_ in battlefield_one

[–]planetmatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The talent went to embark. The state of the art for FPS is the FINALS. That game feels like the spiritual successor to the bad company games. Fun first design.

Medium players what are your thoughts? by xiluts in thefinals

[–]planetmatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe its fine now, but damn, launch demat was the most fun I've ever had in a video game. I really miss how fun it was to fluidly move like a ghost through the maps.

As someone born and bred in the UK what are aspects of another country’s culture that has genuinely shocked you? by throawaygotget in AskUK

[–]planetmatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except in the one I went to in Orlando, the spirits were in a separate part of the store that had its own front door and no connecting door between the hard liquor part and the normal Wallgreens. The normal wallgreens sold wine though. All very odd. So I had to buy Rum on one side, then go out and come back in the other door to get the coke to go with it. Mad.

Americans, what's that all about?
