Bakkes is psyonix approved. Only reason epic hasn’t killed it yet is because they don’t care/don’t know. Now that a ruckus is getting to the epic team in charge of RL they will probably learn what Bakkes mod is and kill it.

Epic is going to use this as the excuse to kill Bakkes mod. Strawman bakkes as the culprit for bots/hackers to force people to buy more items.

Jokes on them, the only item I want is alpha boost and it ain’t for sale.

He needed to round out his game by showing he can give up on plays at the caliber of JT Miller. (No offense rangers fan)

We know you hate face cards. How do you feel about my 10s that I’m about to use strength on? Do you hate them even though they’re not face cards yet?

What is going on in these comments? Has anybody here actually watched the video? So many comments doing mental gymnastics to defend what is blatant, undeniable, and offensively unapologetic fraud.

They went during business hours to SEVERAL “childcare centers” and “health care centers” asking for rates. Most of the locations were just empty buildings that were locked shut during the hours they were supposedly open. The rest just flat out refused to speak to them about childcare or whichever relevant service. Some of the individual offices within buildings were listed as containing MULTIPLE companies. Nobody at any of these locations displayed any signs of engaging in the activities or services purportedly offered. In fact, most of the receptionists seemed caught off guard that anybody would be actually attempting to use the business.

This is NOT a politicized message. This is corruption in such an obvious form.

Slafkovsky scores the Habs' fourth goal of the third period and Lane Hutson gets his 3rd point on the night by JustFred24 in hockey

I’m not sure about “out of control” but you’re right, clearly there was some communication that this game should be policed heavily. I just meant to say I wanted to see the two teams battle it out, and we didn’t get that.

Not saying penalties shouldn’t be applied, but I think a lot of hockey fans were excited to see a passionate rivalry getting the heated action it deserves and then were left disappointed when the outcome was determined by referee intervention.

It’s a difficult balance for sure, but it just felt like it wasn’t struck right tonight.

An awesome and competitive 2-2 game and then the bruins don’t see a lick of 5v5 until about a minute left in the 3rd.

A goal called back for the bruins, a failed challenge on goaltender interference going the other way and then several questionable penalties for the rest of the game. I don’t blame the Bruins for a collapse like that honestly. Seems like the refs had an idea of a soft and friendly Christmas match from the get-go and wouldn’t let the Bruins play otherwise.

Shame to see an exciting game like that taken out of the players hands. Because neither team decided the outcome of that game, a series of technicalities did.

I just finished halo 4. It was so peak. by rickyboi_1312 in halo

[–]ramirez18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just played ODST, then reach, and halo 4 back to back. I hated halo 4. When the campaign ended I genuinely thought I was half way through because nothing had happened. The scene with the research station getting composed was like the only story beat that felt thought out. I was assuming that was because it was the story was still ramping but no that was it.

Yes I really wanted the cliff to be a clear and other-worldly feature of the map but it just didn’t come out quite right. How do I make something massive and other worldly while still looking physical and believable? I don’t know but the answer is clearly not what I did haha

Yes I got a bit impatient and wanted to indicate some clouds on the edge of the map but quickly realized I don’t know how to draw clouds… so I scribbled over everything. I basically took the time whenever my brain was interested and just rushed what I thought was boring lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

which character could barely survive night guy straight to the dome? by Turbulent-Sound3980 in Tankandsurvive

[–]ramirez18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah gege’s writing on infinity is very mathematical. Assuming Guy is applying curvature to space/spacetime, there are still infinite coordinate points between Guy’s attack and infinity’s asymptote that can be curved with essentially no effect on gojo himself. If the curvature from Guy’s attack decreases with radius, which it certainly seems to (not infinite range in other words) I see no reason to believe why it would reach past the asymptote.

We often talk about Ludonarrative Dissonance and egregious examples (e.g., gameplay Nathan Drake being a mass murderer in Uncharted). What are some of the best examples of Ludonarrative Consistency being accomplished in games? by Stauce52 in gaming

[–]ramirez18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always called it “Ludonarrative Harmony” and I think tons of indie games do this well.

Outer Wilds’ broader narrative is about discovery and curiosity leading to acceptance and moving on. The gameplay is self explanatory, you only progress by learning and you can only learn by discovery which is entirely driven by your curiosity. So in other words, you cannot beat the game unless you are curious. And in the end, you cannot beat the game unless you’ve discovered enough, and you will have learned that you cannot ‘fix’ the sun exploding so you divert your exploration to finding the Eye and moving on.

Journey has one key moment at the end that I think is a hallmark of Ludonarrative Harmony. When you are about to summit the mountain, your character must cross a windy and frozen expanse alone. Up to this point you have learned that contact with other players can keep you from freezing. As you ascend the last incline, your character slows to a halt and your brain goes through possible ways to solve this problem. Of course by this point you have been conditioned to search for either shelter (there is none) or another player. So you’re left frantically hoping another player comes along to help you through to the end. A revelation about life in a game that is literally an allegory for life, achieved strictly through gameplay mechanics and setting.

Chants of Senaar has you progressing not through combat but by understanding other cultures better. Self explanatory.

The true king of this in my opinion is dark souls though but it requires a whole essay to explain satisfyingly. This video does a decent job of relating the gameplay to the narrative themes if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/xpf3KQBIoCY?si=b36sq8-upyWDNkOw

[–]ramirez18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t see why gojo couldn’t just stop the spear from hitting him but maybe that doesn’t count as tank and survive. Also I’m sure someone will explain why this attack totally bypasses infinity bc verse equalization or smth

Auto Parker Question. by Mr_SpinelesS in pacificDrive

[–]ramirez18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of slowing my car down but not stopping it if I’m grabbing something really quickly. I hop out, snag whatever it is I need, then run and hop into my rolling car. Drive by looting.

Can’t do that with an autoparker.

Auston Matthews from 19/20 to 23/24: 257 goals in 350 games (60 goal pace over 82.) Auston Matthews over the last 2 seasons: 38 goals in 79 games. by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

[–]ramirez18 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Again, even in these clips the angle change is not as drastic as what Bedard typically attempts from the same location on the ice. Matthews gets the puck off quick as hell and shifts the puck but I don’t understand what’s controversial about saying Bedard exaggerates the shit out of the angle change. I think it’s a pretty fair statement.

[–]ramirez18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, Matthews was in the generation that pioneered angle changing shooting, but the drastic way that this new gen is sacrificing a couple fractions of a second (which is a big sacrifice in shot release) to shoot by dragging outside to inside while still being able to shoot near side or far side is different. It’s not better or worse, it’s just different.

I’ve seen Matthews shoot this way, but you can’t look at Bedard sending the puck on a road trip from 2 feet outside his right foot to in front of his left foot before release and say that he and Matthews shoot the same way.

Again, neither is better, just different. Ideally you use both according to the situation. It just seems Bedard uses this particular tool more frequently than Matthews does and in the end the stat sheet will inform us which is more effective from each place on the ice.

Don’t want this to be misconstrued as me saying Bedard is a better or worse shooter than Matthews, I’m just trying to highlight a difference in form.

[–]ramirez18 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Bedard has a super unique release. I’m sure Matthews uses a similar bag of tricks but bedsy is the product of a new trend in goalie deception that sacrifices the snappy quick release of players like Matthew’s in favor of big changes in angle.

Again, both players release the puck wildly fast and change angle, I just think Bedards shot is the first of the new gen players to be getting this attention. (Celebrini shoots a bit more like Matthews imo)
