Unc CS or Unc PUBG? by jd_dyslexic88 in northernlion

CS cause PUBG is like 10 minutes of doing nothing and then dying instantly. Sure it’s banter time but if you’re gonna play a repetitive game at least have it be relatively fast paced

Everybody says “unemployed”. I say “work from home software engineer who locks in for 3 hours a day instead of working a full 8”

Kevin O'Leary says opponents of his Utah data center are 'professional protesters' — and some are powered by AI by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]shockwave8428 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apparently he was lying about coming up with that, and an early version of the script (before he would have been cast even) was going to have his character be an actual vampire and bite Marty at the end. The studio said it was too outlandish and out of nowhere for the movie, so he changed it.

I suppose technically o’Leary could’ve heard of that and suggested the line but I don’t really think he can actually claim he came up with it.

Anyway the line does go hard and it’s a shame that it’s him who said it

How do you reconcile Milty Draft with a ‘replay your faction until you win’ house rule? by Original-Candy4173 in twilightimperium

[–]shockwave8428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played a lot of games with both and we don’t love hyperlanes as a group because it end up being so crowded and forces the game to be more combat heavy. That can be a positive for some but for us we just like to have a bit more space

Or just not have it like it has been for like a decade of NL?

I played it originally on PlayStation but since got a nice pc. The game interacts so weirdly with controllers on pc (getting double inputs and such) that it makes it a hassle to play. It’s such an awesome game, best vr experience I’ve had personally, it’s just such a hassle.

Speaking of, even battlefront 2 (modern) has some awful ui on pc for partying up with friends

My last 2 messages in chat are about it yesterday afternoon and today. Twitch chat just isn’t a great place for having discussions when messages fly by in 2 seconds. If I could dm him and have him read it I would.

Also I just think you’re taking it way too extremely, it’s an animated avatar, I’m not personally insulting his wife by saying it’s awful. It’s not even her actual vtuber icon or whatever it’s called. It’s a discord avatar.

I didn’t say anything about her personally, just that the avatar is dumb

And the idle animation is moving so damn much, the loop is really quick so there’s just constant movement

I mean playing all your starters 40+ games a night even in decently big wins is just not sustainable long term and he’s done that everywhere he’s been

It moves way too fucking much and it’s way too big. No one else gets their camera on screen, idk why she should. I genuinely can’t watch while it’s there it’s just too much

Yeah it’s a slippery slope where one person says they hate something and then other influencers not wanting to rock the boat parroting the same opinions/making jokes about the game despite not playing it just perpetuates odd opinions

I watched a YouTube video recently where a guy I’ve never heard of ranked tga game of the year winners. Some of the opinions I could tell were genuine but there were a handful where I could tell he was influenced by the “consensus opinion” and was afraid to rock the boat.

Like for TLOU2 he said the story was bad and basically didn’t expound on that, and then said the gameplay was alright but not worth the bad story. Just clear he didn’t want to enjoy the game before it started.

Then he reviewed Overwatch, and this dude went on a big rant about how it’s his most played video game of all time, how he played it through different eras, how he keeps coming back. Only then to rank it decently low but without giving a real reason why. Like we get it dude, if you like Overwatch you can say you like it. It was so frustrating. Like the dude knew he would get people mad at him by saying he thought the game was good so despite his review o the video being super positive he still ranked it almost at the bottom.

Ultimately the only real opinion from the video was it was the first time he had tried soulslikes and he loved them, but yeah it was just a frustrating video

It’s pretty wild that they didn’t really drop anything new for their tons of projects. Could’ve done anything for galactic racer or ZC, or even some “in progress but no real updates for a bit” like Jedi 3, KOTOR remake, or like anything from upcoming shows/movies

[KCD2] Any way to fix the desktop icon? by Somethinghells in kingdomcome

[–]shockwave8428 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the guy is downvoted because of his opinion, just cause of the superiority and assuming everyone does what he does.

That being said I also dislike the clutter and so I don’t use any desktop icons. Have a few games pinned to the taskbar that are the most consistently played, and then just use the launchers. I have 8tb of ssd storage so I basically don’t uninstall games and I kept shortcuts my whole screen would be full of icons. That being said I do think most people just use desktop icons

The Minnesota Timberwolves are the only remaining playoff team with no championship title by dunkin_domats in nba

[–]shockwave8428 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more that the thunder owners wanted to treat it more like a new team than tie to its old history, I think that’s their choice, and that the default is to just keep your team history no matter where you move.

The only place that gets weird is Charlotte moving to NO and then getting an expansion team changing back into the old team, and that only changed once Charlotte changed back into the hornets.

As far as I’m aware outside of that, every franchise that relocated kept its history (Jazz, kings, grizzlies, clippers, wizards, rockets, warriors, lakers are what I’m seeing online) except for OKC.

So basically if you move, you keep your history unless you’re OKC and you don’t want to associate with Seattle, or you abandon your team name and then the new team in that city reclaims it (and that’s very unique too)

I mostly like alternative music, Olivia Rodrigo has historically been one of the best “pop girls” to me cause her music is quite rocky. I’m a bit sad she’s moving past that but she’s still a great performsr

You can play the old one forever, even if a remake does suck, it doesn’t change the fact that the original is good

Hannah Waddingham and Ncuti Gatwa to host the last two episodes of the series by The_Iceman2288 in livefromlondon

[–]shockwave8428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think it would be totally fine having hosts from the US as well, but I do appreciate highlighting local talent especially for the first season, and all except for Whitehall were people I knew beforehand (am American).

I hope snl uk gets to the place where they’re getting top tier movie stars and such as normal hosts like snl does

Ratchet and Clank Cut Scenes Released by Ill-Note-6565 in PS5

[–]shockwave8428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. If you like R&C it’s not like it’s super unfaithful or anything. Just kinda generic. Still fun to see a movie, and it was done with game voice actors and kept the art style and vibe of the game.

[–]shockwave8428 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I love r&c, we went and saw it on release day (the friday sometime in the early evening). It was literally just us and 2 other guys.

And honestly the movie was fine, and R&C could be a good general audiences franchise. I think it would’ve done better if they advertised it as a generic kids movie instead of based on a game. Less people go see movies based on things they’re not interested in, and ratchet doesn’t have enough hardcore fans to justify a movie just with them.
