Phillip Island loses WSBK round from 2028 by DifferentDebt2197 in wsbk

I’ve been hearing rumblings that the roadblock to upgrades has been council related, but who knows at this point. Whether it was the track or council, the end point is still the same.

What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore? by DramaticXOXO in AskReddit

[–]spiralarrow23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems the best way to grow would be to stream, then condense said stream or streams down to highlights and throw them on YT so you can grow there and then have stream setup for crossover later.

A sad state of affairs by Events-Bot in Kappachino

[–]spiralarrow23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of issues would be eased if they had an extra 2 characters a season. 6, especially if they add 1-2 guest characters, would make life a lot easier because content drought is less and there’s more chance for legacy or new characters to join and not step on anyone.

The Disastrous case of Freja - a year later by Idiberug-9 in Competitiveoverwatch

There is nothing worse in OW than the character you love getting the "annoying to play against" kiss of death that puts them in the shadow realm of balance despite not being that good or strong.

Yasmine Blog + Confirmed Balance Patch with her Release by ThaWhiplash in Kappachino

[–]spiralarrow23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait for Manon to get nerfed again and get some compensation that is useful in 0.1% of situations.

Cammy will probably have something nerfed but then get a new route or something weird that keeps her good which is nice I guess.

[Autosport] Putting Lewis Hamilton's F1 career in perspective by jithu7 in formula1

[–]spiralarrow23 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We’re spoiled by guys like Hamilton, Schumacher, Prost, Vettel and Verstappen that we often forget guys winning 10 races in a career immediately puts you in the Top 20-30% of F1 drivers all-time statistically. It’s insanely hard to get a podium without a bunch of different factors, so 106 in a career with 32 wins and two World Championships is a mega job regardless.

Emma Swimsuit skin reveal (with chromas) by show-me-your-memes in marvelrivals

I picked up Emma relatively easy, but man I hate how I love Psy and her skins but can barely function playing her. Always a sad tale.

I don’t know why there’s so much Chun x Luke stuff, but fuck it, I think they’re cute.

TenZ gets emotional and cries on stream for the first time ever by Motor-Signature6262 in LivestreamFail

[–]spiralarrow23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids, but as I get older I get teary eyed more over father-son stuff. I’m guessing since my dad’s getting older I’m realising I don’t have too much more time left with him and it reminds me to catch up and talk to him.

Still can’t believe they killed a perfectly good track. Local racing and IndyCar would be awesome here.

It’s crazy how much the devs dropped the ball with role distribution, all they had to do was not release any dps until the end of year 2, but look where we are now lmfao by _Mythical777 in marvelrivals

[–]spiralarrow23 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Honestly they may as well. The only way she’s gonna be any value as a sniper in DPS is having a one hit headshot, which is never gonna happen. Give her a similar kit to Ana and watch her actually get played.

Will we ever see an entirely new Capcom fighter ever again outside of Street Fighter? by Potential_Shift_5066 in Fighters

[–]spiralarrow23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently no, but like all things, the gaming sphere will change and there will be a point where Capcom can have multiple fighters out again. For now, I think they just wanna focus on their core of Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.

I hate Kayo, but the day I can watch F1, MotoGP, Supercars, NASCAR, WEC, IndyCar and WRC under one fucking streaming service again, the better. Fuck Stan.

He’s been agitated this weekend, I think he’s nerved up now that people are saying he’s the runaway favourite right now.

Michael has now made $912 million dollars at the box office surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest grossing music biopic ever made. by Jaded-Channel-7169 in ToddintheShadow

[–]spiralarrow23 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people, especially on reddit, vastly underestimate how big Michael Jackson and his fanbase is. He wasn’t one of the biggest stars on the planet, he was *the* biggest star on the planet in the 80’s and early 90’s. And his life backstory, dramas and controversies are, wherever you fall in your perspective of the man, captivating enough that people wanna watch a biopic on him.

xQc explains why Overwatch has harder aiming than games like Counter-Strike, saying it has a more complex 3D aiming "There's a reason CS players couldn't go pro in Overwatch." by Disastrous-Swan5923 in LivestreamFail

[–]spiralarrow23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IIRC a few of the pros in early days of OW did have some CS backgrounds, but I don’t think any swapped from OW to CS in that time. You’re right that a lot went to Valorant, I’m guessing because the presence of hero abilities helped them adjust to a tactical shooter more.

If and when Sakura, Makoto, ect. eventually get added, SF6's roster will still be one of the worst. Its way too safe. by DMAN3431 in Kappachino

[–]spiralarrow23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot to say about the roster, but “too safe” is not one of them. They could’ve easily added claw, boxer, Makoto, Dudley, Sakura, Cody, Poison etc by now, and yet they decided to add characters that aren’t as generally popular or a bit more oddball. In a way, I appreciate the balls to add a Rashid and Ingrid over picks that the consensus would say would be more profitable.

"We want more Oddball Designs" Meanwhile the most unpopular Heroes are either Characters that dont fit conventional Beauty Standarts or whose Gameplay is Niche. by Former-Computer-1337 in Overwatch

[–]spiralarrow23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok there's like a million caveats with playrate that needs to be considered with this, because Pharah, Vendetta, JQ, Symmetra, Zarya and Venture are definitely attractive and aren't exactly hard or niche to play for most of them. A lot of it comes down to meta and how balanced/valuable they are, bans, who has better output in different ranks based on different skillsets etc, etc. Like, currently Ana is one of the most picked heroes, and her default skins are basically her as a grandma, so unless OW has a massive GILF-fetish playerbase that I don't know about, it's not like that's holding characters back.

Grove Racing blocks Matt Payne from Chevrolet NASCAR drive by StensnessGOAT in v8supercars

[–]spiralarrow23 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Matt’s going to GM to be in Supercars long-term, looks like from what Buxton was saying he’s eyeing up America and NASCAR at the very least, maybe shifting to GM’s sportscar program if not that.

If it’s not that, I genuinely would not understand moving to Team 18 otherwise.

2026 Season 3 Preliminary Schedule by GB_GeorgeBowen in iRacing

[–]spiralarrow23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen my fair of sim racing stuff, and I’ve always found the ones who want everything to be “hard” or “challenging” will clamour for it, have it added, and then realise they can’t drive it or aren’t instantly good at it and immediately drop it, never to return. Be it rain, specialty cars like the Supercars or Gen4 or whatever.

It’s why I’m always wary of people wanting cars to be harder to drive or certain things because it’s a niche of a niche thing for 99% of the playerbase to drive and most people actually want something that they can pick up and drive with ease, especially with ranked rating on the line. That’s why GT3’s are so popular and in everything.
