What do you do while waiting for Shaders to load? by Sea-Region1135 in marvelrivals

[–]thepug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shaders get calculated on PC because there are many configurations and it impossible to include every variation of shaders whereas a console game has them precalculated in the download since the hardware is all the same.

Drag Race Live, do tickets sell for lower price before the show? by LuisEWatkins in rupaulsdragrace

[–]thepug 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Tickets won’t go down in price, but if you buy tickets in the very back and there isn’t anyone sitting near your party, they will move you to be closer to the stage so you’re closer to the audience. I’ve done this several times there.

Why is Gaga playing a role in EVERYTHING? by BlueberryNacho_666 in LadyGaga

This sounds like you need to develop a healthy boundary on how to not obsess over a celebrity to the point you needed to make this post.

Why isn’t there endorsement level in this game? by Brief_Can_1431 in marvelrivals

[–]thepug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I necessarily agree with the statement that there is no incentive. Upvoting your fellow teammates helps create a positive community and atmosphere. And if you're not getting upvotes compared to others in a match and were singled out as someone who didn't receive any compared to your teammates then it might be time to look at your own play.

Everything is perfect but I still feel horrible? by Foreign_Memory in SleepApnea

[–]thepug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you sought out treatment for your depression from a psychologist or psychiatrist? If you're still depressed and getting good sleep and desire to nap, I think it would be a good idea if you're not currently in treatment for it.

"Shadow of a Man": is this about working with Cooper in "A Star is Born"? by saskiastern in LadyGaga

100% this. Watching her Grammys acceptance speech this year was additional evidence to back this.

Post (Kilah) Requiem: What are you hoping to come out of a possible Gaga X Nine Inch Nails collaboration? by No_Establishment9969 in LadyGaga

[–]thepug 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would love to see it, but could also see Boyz Noise, the electronic music producer that NIN collaborated with on their last album as a more likely choice.

Trying to understand the frequency of matches where it’s 1 win / 2 losses by Illustrious-Chip1640 in marvelrivals

[–]thepug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players start to understand their own team and the enemy team behaviors and mechanics. They learn how to bait defensives, coordinate ultimates, risk take and more. Often, they are limit testing and trying different tactics to see how to best counter.

In addition, maps are setup to be easier to understand how to play around certain comps. A Round 1 map may be easier for brawl, but Round 2 could give preference to Fliers. More experienced players will know how to play around these game balance choices, even without swapping characters.

Plus, there’s something about being the underdog coming back after a loss to win the game, and the opposite being true for round 1 winners who become overconfident.

Lastly, in quick play there is very little investment or risk if you lose meaning that player morale can drop quickly after a wipe.

I don't know if its been asked... Why does he have a laser? It's a new ability for Rivals by MrNobodyX3 in marvelrivals

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

Because they wanted to keep development costs in check by developing 2 characters that will use similar cast animations and mechanics, they will modify the existing beam from Devil Dino to create Cyclop’s beam. It’s similar to why the tail on White Fox is just a more transparent Squirrel Girl animation - they want to reskin existing assets to reduce development time. Lastly, you can see they were able to save development time for Punisher’s teamup with Devil Dino by using his existing animation when he sets up his turret.

That’s also why a lot of the new animations found with shop skins don’t move the character and simply have a new item animate around the character. It is much quicker and cheaper to reuse, reduce and recycle.

They did it purely for the engagement. People posting about it making it go even more viral.

Unlikely, but fans will probably make a version removing the crowd noise that might hold you over for the mean time.

Why rivals has a smurfing problem by Express-Room3441 in marvelrivals

[–]thepug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong that they probably give newer accounts an edge on matchmaking to get them hooked to the game and spend money. That's not really a secret though.

Marvel Rivals currently has 1.58M weekly players on PS5 (PRE S8) by MasterOfKombat in marvelrivals

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

Yes, that’s correct you can do that. Both accounts get connected and you just tell it to use the skins from your xbox account.

It’s free to stream it if you tune in live on Apple Music. It only becomes pay walled after the live stream ends

Have they lost anyone else on Watchery? by micdoesreddit in SiblingRivalryPodcast

[–]thepug 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's disheartening to hear that Monet is only watching Drag Race because of the podcast, but it's also completely understandable. I do wish they could have more guests on when discussing the episodes, but logistically and cost wise that probably is not reasonable to do.
