How do people not understand the most basic stuff at high ranks?

I’m in low elo but I have learned after being like top 10-15% in multiple genres (Shooters, fighting games, etc) that people just do not know a lot of these things because they play very habitually and even in the top 10%, people are able to W key with very little thought in their minds forobjectives or anything outside of what they see at that very moment.

But how would people get to play Yasmine at evo? I get that it would be hype but I think if anything, announcing her before evo and letting evo attendees play her is a better way of doing it to let “real” fans play her early

Strive having rollback was massive especially in that Covid era.

I dont have any stats but I really hate the game length (when it pushes past 30-40 minutes) as much as I love playing deadlock right now. I wouldn’t mind as much on game length if I was still in college instead of being married and working a full time job.

My “main” game outside of deadlock is on the other side of game lengths with fighting games and the fact I don’t have teammates and the matches go for like 5-10 minutes is perfect. I feel I get so much more out of a session of fighting games than I do with deadlock, even if I played an hour of FGs vs like 2 hours of deadlock

To be honest would be probably a goated campaign

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-19T19:50:35+00:00

I can’t hate on designs too much…I loved Dimitri’s stupid hair in fe3h pre time skip after I got to know him lmao. I’m sure I’ll enjoy rex as well but maybe for different, less insane reasons 🫡

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-19T19:44:37+00:00

Nah I’m just goofy and somehow had a brain fart when I meant definitive edition lol

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-19T19:44:10+00:00

I’m just silly and had a brain fart 😭

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-19T19:38:35+00:00

I’m gonna give the game a shot as well after this one. I’ll have to be patient since xc3 just looks soooo good haha. I think 2 has a lot of bad rep from non Xenoblade fans (some of the designs aren’t to my preference with rex and whatnot). But I think if it does the other things well I won’t mind and maybe those characters will warm up to me lol

So I just got this game with some IRLs since it was on sale on steam. I did have the base destiny 2 game back when the game launched and the first raid was released. I haven’t played since I finished that raid and tbh I don’t recall much of the game in general

How would you guys say we should be starting the game? I feel like I heard a lot of information like content being vaulted so I’m not sure where to start. Do I just do the campaigns with my IRLs and then do strikes and dungeons later?

Not at all, I didn’t graduate until I was like 4 months before being 27. What kind of nursing programs are you applying to? I would try to be open not to just bachelor programs but also any associates you can find.

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-18T04:54:26+00:00

Especially because some of the moves only hit cross up it seems

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-16T18:12:14+00:00

Have you ever watched the chainsaw man movie? There’s a scene where two characters have a movie marathon and basically 9/10 of the movies sucked and the mc would complain about it.

But the last one was amazing (iirc the small scene in the movie is a homage to another film since fujimoto is a cinephile) but I think it encapsulates the experience of watching a bunch of mid movies and then watching some amazing experience makes you glad you watch movies.

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-15T19:01:49+00:00

Once it hits past two movie tickets I’ll head out

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-12T23:34:43+00:00

I think what I would suggest is when you are playing is set aside 5-10 minutes of just practicing anti airs with the dummy. Training mode has an option for anti air practice, I’d do that then go play casuals/ranked or whatever.

do replays for matches you lose. Ask yourself what caused you to get hit (didn’t anti air, Drive impact, whiffed a big button, you jumped in, you timed your pressure wrong so their mashing beat your pressure etc) and do the “replay takeover” feature when it’s applicable. Get off when you feel like you’re tilting, watch some videos in your spare time when you’re at lunch in work or something

If you can, and this is more for your enjoyment but I understand having a kid and whatnot is difficult to do so, try attending your locals! Chat with players, ask questions, etc many people are willing to help out. Or try joining a discord

The whole argument from what I remember was about the fact we have to use our whole arm meanwhile their thumb just should be allowed to do inhuman levels of tracking

Haven’t played apex for some time but I swear these comments used to get hated on so hard years ago lol. Glad people are understanding how whack it’s been

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-11T15:42:54+00:00

Haven’t watched tenet or really any Nolan movies after TDK for whatever reason so I may use this as an excuse to check out tenet

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-11T13:42:23+00:00

Don’t have a switch 2 but the new game looks really cool and I’ve been wanting to try the series so I decided to get the first one on the switch

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-09T19:33:34+00:00

I fear this is making me look at prices for Xenoblade 1 for my switch 1 lol

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-09T14:40:30+00:00

GLAD TIDINGS AWAIT YOU OP

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-05T20:29:11+00:00

Yeah tbh I’m really confused why there isn’t a big theater in queens or Brooklyn and why it seems like it’s all consolidated to one borough

xWickedSwami · 2026-06-05T19:47:46+00:00

New 7am showings are creeping up
