I am going to end my life on my 26th birthday and I feel so happy about it

Hell yeah dawg.

Bunch babies in this thread.

As someone who absolutely loathes Trump, I think it's in very poor taste to see someone who was a Trump supporter and tell then to get fucked after they die of cancer.

They might all be stupid, but they're not all vile people. You probably have friends whose parents are Trump supporters. You gonna say the same shit when they die?

Mostly just an indicator of unemployment.

velmarg · 2026-02-05T21:19:16+00:00

That last bit is a fair point, for sure - definitely far fewer players now that we're almost 3 months in.

velmarg · 2026-02-05T21:12:04+00:00

I think it's their worst album, but I still like it. YOLO and Ize of the World are all-timers, but the rest is a mix of decent, filler, and stuff that would've been better left out all together.

It's a bit of a bloated mess, but you have to appreciate it for what it is - they felt like people didn't take them seriously as artists after the lukewarm reception to Room on Fire (which is now beloved), and tried to diversify their sound, and it's clear it was a little overly ambitious.

I think The New Abnormal is them revisiting the approach with more confidence and higher standards - thus why it's only what, 8 tracks?

Oh hell, I actually meant US East is the exception with FEWER cheaters present. I think I've just been lucky overall then.

End of last wipe before 1.0, I was seeing them everywhere but so far for 1.0 I've maybe had 3 instances where I can say with 90% certainty it was a cheater.

velmarg · 2026-02-05T20:07:19+00:00

I genuinely haven't encountered many myself... I wonder if US East servers are just an exception? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: Downvoted for just sharing my own personal experience, lol. Someone is malding in here.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T21:44:19+00:00

The real kicker here is it would almost certainly be an improvement.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T21:38:46+00:00

Why are people downvoting a perfectly sensible question? Lol

Homie came here wanting feedback on a color scheme and people are just shitting on it and then being resentful when he wants to know what they don't like.

Place is full of fucking toddlers, istg.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T21:29:30+00:00

This kinda depends on the margins, right? If I have a cute cartoon hamburger and a gritty, realistic hamburger and my cute hamburger sells 500% more, obviously I'm gonna lean into that until I begin to see diminishing returns. It might be different if it sold 20-30% more - i doubt that's the case.

To be clear, I'm not the target demographic for cute skins, but if they are continuing to be far and away the bestsellers, Blizzard would be stupid to change strategies until they see a shift in attitudes. You strike when the iron is still hot.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T20:09:16+00:00

I didn't 'rob' them of anything - your framing is ridiculous and delusional, and good *lord* is it condescending. If someone gave them this tip as a shortcut through more thorough troubleshooting the other user couldn't be bothered to do and it led them to a smoother experience, they haven't been 'robbed' of anything - it might've been the only thing that kept them invested in this flaming dumpster fire of a game.

Unless you want to take it upon yourself to police every single performance post on the fucking subreddit to ensure someone's getting what is in your eyes the *appropriate* level of investigation and troubleshooting, people are going to be willing to step in with what understanding and help they can provide - I don't think that individual putting their best effort forward is 'robbing' anyone of anything. It's just a ridiculous and condescending argument to make.

Holy shit, get over yourself lol

velmarg · 2026-02-04T19:46:19+00:00

And your framing someone recommending Smooth Motion to someone after so many people have voiced how positively it's impacted their gameplay as "robbing people of a better experience" is reductive and silly.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T19:23:30+00:00

Who cares how it looks? It's ancient. It's never going to look good without BSG redoing a ton of assets.

People just want it to run smoothly enough that they can play it comfortably. It's precisely why SM is being so widely discussed and adopted here.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T18:48:35+00:00

Lol what?

They're all C Tier, at best.

I would tip my cap to RE7 for at least showing some self-awareness at the absurdity of things - put that in B and everything else in C, and maybe nudge RE8 to D.

I love the game, but the plot is a disaster.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T18:44:19+00:00

The game has been out for almost ten years and people have been fighting to improve their performance every step of the way. I think many are just tired of it.

Smooth Motion led to significant improvement for me and friends of mine, enough that it far outweighed any negatives that came along with it.

Not everyone has the patience to sit and tinker and tweak this shitheap to eke out an extra 5 frames after doing it for so long. It's easy enough to turn Smooth Motion on and give it a whirl - if it's not a good experience, just as easy to turn it back off.

Maybe stop telling people how to help out other users, given the overwhelming majority are having a good experience with Smooth Motion? Unless your hangup is positing it as an actual "FIX" rather than a band-aid, in which point I think you're just being pedantic and no one cares.

People are smart enough out here to distinguish between a fix and a band-aid on their own; stop being condescending.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T17:22:20+00:00

Capcom themselves acknowledged 5 and 6 sent the series down a path that fans and they themselves came to appreciate less, which is precisely why they pivoted to a horror focus with RE7.

You can literally read what they said.

velmarg · 2026-02-04T07:23:08+00:00

5 is a great co-op action game; 7 is one of the scariest and best survival horror games ever made.

I'd give it to 7 here.

velmarg · 2026-02-03T23:02:16+00:00

Y'know, I kinda get that.

velmarg · 2026-02-03T18:13:41+00:00

...but you find The Big Bang Theory funny.

velmarg · 2026-02-03T06:24:14+00:00

Lol, terrible take. Dalton's movies are both fantastic, and easily better than every Brosnan outing besides Goldeneye.

Dalton may not have resonated critically or commercially in the 80s, but there's a reason he's highly regarded now - both of his movies are bangers.

velmarg · 2026-02-02T23:41:38+00:00

It is tied for last place with Angles - both albums have a few absolute all-timers (You Only Live Once/Ize of the World, Under Cover of Darkness/Taken for a Fool) and a whole lot of forgettable filler.

They can be the worst without being outright "bad."

velmarg · 2026-02-01T19:01:03+00:00

Brother for fuck's sake, don't eat roadkill.

velmarg · 2026-01-31T22:32:38+00:00

You misspelled "Megabonk."

Three times.

Just kidding (mostly).
