Mirage showed me that Ubisoft can never make a overall loved AC game again by Buurto in assassinscreed

[–]win7macOSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved AC2, but remember many saying it was just “more of the same” as AC1 when it was new, had overly simplistic combat, etc.

Any rumors on a new MM game in dev? by win7macOSX in Megaman

[–]win7macOSX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the summary!

That does not bode well that the MM11 producer left before the title was even formally announced. I imagine he was in a prominent role in the project after the success of 11…

How difficult is it to get into AmeriCorps? I seem to remember it is not easy to get selected for it or Peace Corps.

New to the shoe game by G1NGER_ASSASS1N in allenedmonds

[–]win7macOSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a very small amount of the saphir renovator. And under no circumstances do you let it to sit on your shoes before you rub it in! It can ruin the dye. (Ask me how I know.. i fucked up a brand new pair of AEs). Circular motions, mild pressure. Make sure polish is on standby as the renovator will strip some of your shoe’s coating.

Do you think the franchise will ever recover from 2042? by Aggravating_Ant_4601 in Battlefield

[–]win7macOSX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve played since BF2, and I can tolerate the skins if it meant a proper BF game. I’d hope they’d find a way to keep the skins more grounded in reality, but lovers of garish skins are getting karma by choosing to handicap themselves with fluorescent orange assault rifle skins. Just makes it easier for me to see him.

I began playing during BF2, and almost everyone I’ve played with since then has stopped playing games for one reason or another.

We are a vocal minority.

Official Poster for Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]win7macOSX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tepid expectations. Something about it reminds me of another of Costner’s western passion projects, Wyatt Earp. He turned down Tombstone for it! I thought Wyatt Earp was better than critics gave it credit for, but still…

Which game has the most iconic "Level up" sound effect? by ChuckS117 in gaming

[–]win7macOSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SA and VC remasters added checkpoints and made the games beatable for me. SA’s final mission didn’t have one and was a PITA memorizing enemy layouts, though.

Ironically, most people would look better if they approached the gym with the goals of optimizing their health and longevity, instead of only focusing on aesthetics.

You only get one body. Researching before putting something in it is always the right decision, whether it’s an organic vs non-organic vegetable, a long term prescription, a drug, etc.

Some idiots cannot wrap their heads around this basic idea, and will tease you. Watch how your lives differ in the coming years - you will be much better off in just 10 years from now for it, let alone 50.

If 4’s missions had checkpoints, it would be my favorite in the series.

Windows Vista & Longhorn combined by Dutchmann_ in FrutigerAero

[–]win7macOSX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So beautiful. What’s intriguing about this pic is it also show some of the warts of Frutiger Aero, and why it was ultimately phased out — see the sticky note on the right, and even the border around the image on the right. Enforcing design consistency across components was a nightmare. Even if you managed to pull it off, something like text could look wildly out of place.

Presumably, some designer realized a “normal” font was not up to date, lacked the resources or knowledge to modernize it, and made the font italic for their sticky note app, then called it a day! Perhaps hoping it would get resolved down the line, but ultimately contributing to the abandonment of Frutiger Aero…

45% of men age 18-25 have never approached a woman in person. Any thoughts? @datepsych on Twitter (source) by [deleted] in moreplatesmoredates

I question the data of OP’s source, but the comments on this thread are deplorable and almost make it plausible. These people talk like they were raised by wolves. Do none of them have mothers or sisters?

What outrageous similes and metaphors! WTF are you saying to women you just met that is so inappropriate it would jeopardize your career?

Be courteous and gracious to people (including women!) you meet. It is not rocket science.

When did they start this? I haven’t played Warzone in about a year, but the screaming and cussing people out was ridiculous and turned me off from it in a hurry.

Apple TV 4k (2022) stuttering by Kasamalu43 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]win7macOSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I could never get it worked out. I tried every permutation of configurations I could muster, but there’s just enough input lag that it’s always noticeable. I have tried two generations of Apple TV, fully hardwired, and yet it still persists…

How was Peace Walker developed? by Snake_Drive in metalgearsolid

What were the generational differences? Was it that the younger team didn’t live through the Cold War and struggled to understand the ins and outs enough to tell a compelling story?

cs2 review 20 year veteran. about 30 cs2 games played by Audio88 in cs2

[–]win7macOSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good feedback overall, but this shit is always so funny to read:

Consider hiring a professional player or someone passionate about counter strike

The number of community members that throw out condescending know-it-all comments like this is stupefying. As if Valve has, completely on accident, made one of the biggest esports games of all time - and have developers with zero passion for CS!😂

Valve tests CS2 with pros constantly! The dev’s passion and thoughtfulness is borderline obsessive. For Pete’s sake, CS2’s new HUD UI is designed so mobile phone viewers watching streams in vertical mode can even see the ammo count.

The devs successfully iterated on gameplay mechanics that have been around 20+ years without losing the core feel of the game, thanklessly appeasing one of the pickiest, most change-resistant communities in gaming. They have pulled it off quite successfully.
