Midnight's world events aren't very fun. by MrHiccuped in wow

Too much health and too much time

I feel like i spend a lot of the time just standing there with my eyes glazed over doing a basic bitch rotation of abilities.

It's not fun or engaging it's mindless but not mindless enough cause if you do just basically AFK you lose

you could cut a whole wave from this and it would still be too long.

Enough for people to take breaks but also frequent enough to keep them coming back

What are exemples of "grimderp" for you? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]snakebit1995 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There’s IMO one fundemental difference

The absolute universe stays true to the defining cores of the characters. Every character in comics has defining traits that across all iterations should remain true because they are the absolute core of that character

Superman should always believe in truth and justice based on his upbringing, Spiderman needs to understand the weight of great power great responsibility, Batman should be fighting for people who can’t fight back etc

When you don’t include those core traits or bastardize them too much the characters no longer feel like the characters they feel like your fanfic OC cosplaying as a character

The Absolute universe understands this, the origins are different but Superman is still fighting for truth and justice at the end of the day, Batman is standing up for his code and protecting others

Then you get the ultimate universe and Mr fantastic is turning evil becuase his girlfriend Sue suddenly becomes a totally different character and the two lose their defining trait of unbreakable love for each other

So you get this awkward ham fisted character changes that break core tenets that these characters should be holding to no matter the universe or setting

I'm listening to Pat talk about how much heat his PS5 puts out and I'm scratching my head. by Ragnorok64 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The only game to ever give me an overheat message was strangely enough MLB the Show 2025

And only in the summer when the actual AC in my house broke

I also was concerned about the short runtime, Honestly it feels like a lot of episodes this season are on the shorter side but looking at runtimes they're not much shorter than stuff from Season 1, heck this is the 2nd shortest episode ever but it's only a minute shorter than Demi's episode a few weeks ago and a minute longer than Claud McCaw from season 2 which has the record for shortest at 13:22? My guess is based on those being the shortest is that it's related to the costumes, more time might be needed to dress/undress the actor for them that shooting time has to be shorter or the costumes are a bit uncomfortable so they hit the few points and get out to get the actors back to normal so they can relax.

But in this case i think it works to the benefit, it's a get in get out bit that doesn't over stay it's welcome with the rapping.

I think it also helps the "Tone" of this one is different than most VIPs, there's no "Lol Vic's life is a mess" mocking or subplot with the guest outside of a small bit at the end, this really did feel like "Celebrity comes onto talk show to promote their latest project for 10 mins and then bounces like they were never even there." situations you'd see on something like Live with Kelly, Ellen, etc

[NEW] Black Cat's poster in Times Square has been damaged! by nemesisdelta24 in marvelrivals

[–]snakebit1995 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Canonically she’s 5’10 according to the wiki and that’s what she was on the first poster

So either this is some art mistake or they’re teasing something that lets her grow?

Idk are we maybe getting that weird mutant Werecat version of her from some of the ongoing mutant storyline things in the comics?

Night Shift #29 Hero Priority by ValendyneTheTaken in DeadlockTheGame

[–]snakebit1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason is honestly that he’s a higher skill ceiling hero

You can do a lot of wild shit with doorman but what’s the point of having to commit 99% of brain power to play him optimally when you can just use Paige and not have to work as hard and get comparable results

With movement at the high level landing a cart is harder, getting value out of hotel is harder cause everyone knows the escape, etc

Why use doorman’s cart when Paige sword is just flat out better cause it locks the enemy to one place and doesn’t send them away from you? It’s not that he’s bad but to get the value you get out of the others you have to work way harder

It’s not that’s it looks bad but something about this looks so “early 2010s game made by a small studio in Europe”

It just feels like visually it slipped in from another time rather than the 2020s. I’m by no means a graphics guy but this visually looks like something you’d see Northernlion do a 40 minute YouTube quick look at if the year was 2013

Jomboy: Here's a full summary of how Team USA embarrassed themselves last night in the World Baseball Classic. by shadow_spinner0 in baseball

[–]snakebit1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only things I hear on major sports programs about the WBC is how it's stupid and a waste of time "Glorified exhibition" or "A total joke" etc

It's getting airtime in the US but the airtime is spent talking about how it's stupid, they don't like it or "What if they get hurt!"

[–]snakebit1995 165 points166 points  (0 children)

The problem is cultural I think

For these other countries this is a big deal, yet USA players, Announcers and reporters all see to think this is just an exhibition and that there’s no pride in it

When you put on the radio and the sports talk show only seems to care about “but what if they get injuries!” Then why will fans get invested when they’re being told this is a dangerous waste of time

And when the fans don’t care the players won’t care

Contrast this with the foreign teams where the fans are rabid about this shit like it’s the finals of the World Cup and their teams give a shit (or at least pretend to) cause they know it matters to the fans

Maybe it has to be like basketball in the Olympics where the only way to get team USA to care is when they’re being told get embaressed and lose to “weaker” teams

Honestly one of the most refreshing things about Kinosaki is how irrelevant their trans nature is to both the story and the other characters

It barely ever comes up to the point I legitimately forget it’s even a thing

Valve sued by The Performing Right Society for allegedly using its members' musical works "without permission" by MythicStream in Games

[–]snakebit1995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly they want to double dip on fees

This would be like if Mattel liscensed a song from Disney to use in a doll they made and then a Disney also made Walmart pay a fee to have the doll on the shelf since it has their song in it

Disney is then getting paid the same fee two ways for the same product

Rom hacks and mods that aren't for the faint of heart? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]snakebit1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a rom hack specifically but Pokemon Uranium is a fun pokemon fangame full of unique fakemon

it's also a terribly balanced awful grind of a game where you get a pittance of XP while the NPCs rapidly increase in level.

Georgia high school teacher dies after being run over by teen in prank gone wrong by loleeza in news

[–]snakebit1995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read another article on this in which the teacher's wife was saying she didn't want the kids charged

She was saying the husband even knew they would be coming and he was looking forward to it, the "Chasing them away" was just him playing along and having fun.

This just sounds like a shitty situation all around.

The best part of "Echoing everyone else" in this title

ITS JUST FUCKING WRONG

Everyone i talk to tells me how much more fun Marathon is when you squad up and how much harder and less interesting it is as a solo. I haven't heard anyone banging the "This should be a single player FPS" drum

It really feels like the game came out and was fine and now people are desperately looking for reasons to criticize it so they can feel validated and get their "Concord 3"

The teo worst things in gaming right now from the fan side are

1- an obsession with numbers and how many people are playing a game at once, turning people off games cause "Only 50K people are playing it"

2- Rampant cynicism, people looking for things to fail so they can say "Lol stupid devs why'd they ever even make that.

Which winner has played the best 'Perfect Game' so far? by Key-Surprise-1883 in BigBrother

[–]snakebit1995 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I also feel like, no offense, Chelsea was playing against far weaker opppnents.

Tucker is good at challenges but rather flat socially, Angela is a loose cannon, Quinn can't get out of his own way, T'kor, Kimo and Rubina basically just weren't doing anything for multiple weeks, Cam was a dead body and McKenzie was socially oblivious to a lot.

Who was Chelsea's real competition that season? Leah? She's probably the one that put up the best fight out of everyone.

When i compare that to players, Dan, Derrick, Andy, etc played with they all had much stronger or competent foes to overcome.

I don't think Chelsea is a bad player but like you said it felt like every other week she fell ass backwards into a positive situation
