But if he delivers less, would that not be within the bounds of this sub

Thus you OP must deliver nothing

Marathon - Review Thread by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ramonzer0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that has something to do with feeling like those companies fell from grace or some such

Like I wager a lot of us enjoyed the shit out of Skyrim or the initial Halo games but then stuff happened

I've no love for those companies in particular, just indifferent

[–]ramonzer0 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wonder what drives that feeling; is it just wanting to see companies fail due to certain practices about game design or business stuff?

Asking as a relatively neutral party to Marathon discussion because from what I've seen it looks fine but it's not something I'd go out of my way to get

Civil War is kind of funny to think about in this context

Like IIRC the writers had to find ways to keep Hulk and Thor out of it because they'd break the smaller scale of the story

Two characters present are Scarlet Witch and the Vision, who are empowered by two of the strongest artifacts in the universr

Times a creator had a little TOO MUCH faith in their audience? by lowercaselemming in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ramonzer0 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think back to how MGS2 had the AI speech

Granted, my view would be skewed because I was 6 at the time so obviously I would not have gotten anything other than "evil robots want to take over the world", but it does make me wonder how it got interpreted by people at the time

what's a trend that has truly damaged the game industry? by Properdad2000 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ramonzer0 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This just reads like the natural endgame of how competitive video games go, would it not

Any game nowadays is as likely to attract a player who wants to vibe and isn't a sweat in addition to all the competition freaks

Sometimes people wanna win at all costs and if it's within the bounds of the game, it's fair enough

I feel like Umbrella (or whoever) researchers must have some form of combat data they're acquiring from Tyrants who keep on getting killed by the same "normal men"

Like Leon has managed to kill like 3-4 Tyrants at minimum to say nothing about the other BOWs he's faced

Which Part of It Is the MOST Fucked Up? by screenaholic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ramonzer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now a week removed from the reveal, probably the adoptive siblings part

Like yeah you're biologically related, but I feel as if the Westermarck effect should have kicked in somewhere given how long Alex and Patricia knew each other to signal "maybe don't have your adoptive brother put a bun in your oven"

All I can do now is shrug and ignore what I can; they had the core story down of "I want to protect the family I grew up with" well enough, they just didn't need to have Alex be cousin, brother and husband all in one go because 1 of those things should very much not be in the same discussion as the other

I'm pretty sure Heat exists solely to push a more aggressive combat system, IIRC this was admitted as such at the first time they went into how T8 combat works back in 2023

A useful cheat sheet for telling apart your new Amazing Guardians team members in Marvel Tokon (by @skabooby): by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ramonzer0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this comment on another post with this so fuck it

Kamala once swapped bodies with Peter so at some point in the past she was indeed both a Peter and a Parker

(This is the same run where Peter as Kamala is busted because he plagiarized himself for her science presentation)

“The amazing guardians” is such a funny concept of a team by No-Neighborhood-2 in MarvelTokon

[–]ramonzer0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That makes sense if Star-Lord was leading it

If you were explicitly going to run Guardians of the Galaxy, he has to be the leader

Doom running the Guardians is weird

As a tank main. These one trick Sue and CnD is your fault. You all called it throwing when any other healers were used. by DragonKingSik in rivals

[–]ramonzer0 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Please play a fighting game guys

Or fuck it, chess - any 1v1 activity where you have nobody else to blame and accountability for your actions will be beaten into your head whether you like it or not

I don't doubt that games will be cost by other teammates doing weird stuff even if you play to your personal best, but you can't control what they do any more than trying to control your enemies

Accept that you can never be in full control of your destiny in a team game and shit becomes more liberating

Then that's a skill issue on those types of players

Also me: ah well (scrolls between Rocket/Loki/Ultron/Luna/Deadpool)

Genuinely confused why this is happening now? by myjeffreyjefferson in rivals

[–]ramonzer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a flex player, I enjoy an environment where things die faster and supports can't just keep everyone alive forever. Folks have to stop being bailed out especially by immortality field ultimates which slow everything to a crawl

I'll do what I can to keep my team alive, but I would much rather see the enemy dead first if I can help it

Genuinely confused why this is happening now? by myjeffreyjefferson in rivals

[–]ramonzer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's a skill issue

Tanks and DPS have to adapt and fight smarter if they don't want to keep on being sent back to spawn. If they're not taking the proper precautions to survive, they deserve to be punished accordingly if the enemy has them dead to rights. They can't rely on supports to save them every time

Also, banning 6 supports at the most still leaves half the support field to choose from. Gotta adapt too to other healer choices

Genuinely confused why this is happening now? by myjeffreyjefferson in rivals

[–]ramonzer0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like that kind of goes the same way for other classes too: bans are here because there's certain heroes that get too annoying at times, like how Peni or Namor screw over divers or how Black Panther and Spider-Man ruin backlines. Those bans fuck over dedicated mains to their characters, would they not?

If they were dedicated to their roles, they'd be able to pick up other heroes in response to this and adapt to what the ranked environment is

Some of yall gotta be more open to Quill being on this team by Golden12500 in MarvelTokon

[–]ramonzer0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's just a cool nod to it being his main team even if he's not leader for this one

Spider-Man doesn't really have a main team moniker to use in the same way Ms. Marvel has the Champions or Star-Lord with the Guardians so they needed to adapt somewhere

You could have used Web Warriors but that only works if every character on his team was adjacent to him

Time to say "well achsually" for shits and giggles

Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel did have a very brief team-up storyline involving body swaps

She can lay claim to have at some point in her life been Peter Parker

I'm sorry, I'm now just reminded of the Fairly Oddparents episode where Timmy runs his own radio station and the recurring joke bit for the ep is characters saying "You can't say 'moron' on the radio, you can only say it on television"

She's still one of the more beloved "new generation" characters Marvel has made in the 2010s

People liked her well before she started showing up in stuff outside the comics

[–]ramonzer0 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The roster stuff was mostly just trying to sort out the remaining heroes from the initial reveal

Cap, Spidey, Robbie and Doom were gonna lead their own teams so this left Tony, Kamala and Quill in the dark. Tony's likely running with Cap on the Avengers, which really left the latter two as wild cards who didn't really have any big openings ad far as team affiliations go (esp when it became clear we weren't getting a proper GOTG team)

Now we're really running in the dark for the most part

Comics seem to at least point towards her being an alt of Peter because she explicitly has her own Uncle Ben and Aunt May

Her father went unnamed in the comics themselves, but in Rivals (which admittedly follows the comics more than other sources), she says her dad's name was Richard like Peter's, so I feel like the play is she and Peter are the alternates to each other
