My potentially controversial tier list on what I think the TF2 characters' gaydars are like

Hi what the fuck

[williamrikers]

one thing i love about the heart killers is that in the english translation, they obviously made an effort to make the characters sound very american. it fits with the whole americana vibe the story's got going on, and it's just such a fun change of pace for translators to make use of slang you'd normally hear in the southern united states. just a detail that i appreciate a lot!

kdramas should just avoid making medical related content. at this point it's plain disrespecful

I was doing a thing where I tried every single branch in a good amount of Cyberpunk 2077's dialogue ages ago, and I just have to say it left me surprisingly impressed.

It is largely linear, but not nearly to the degree that I had first thought.

There aren't massive branching dialogue trees, but there are just quiet little diversions that happen so smoothly you don't even necessarily realize you made a branching choice...unless you get in there with time to kill and 6+ reloads. Taking a blue choice or acting in a timed dialogue, for example, can appear to have little consequence at first but has actually quietly shifted you onto one track instead of another.

The effect, I realized, is that as you play it feels like the choices you made are the only ones possible.

First of all, how fucking brilliant. Second of all, it's so thankless - if I hadn't gone back with this silly little project in mind I would have continued on my way thinking it was as simple as it first appears. It reminds me of the first person pov, both in how unpopular it was and how it clearly, carefully supports a beautifully immersive experience. The difference, I guess, is that first person pov smacks you in the face and makes you admit it's brilliant, while dialogue flies under the radar.

Ultimately, I still can't get over how intentional they were with this game, and how willing they were to take risks - and I hope to god that mindset didn't get crushed by the initial reception.

Getting real sick of a certain subset of Destiny players complaining that it’s a baby game and crying to Bungie to nerf exotics and abilities when their ENTIRE POINT IS TO BE STRONG in specific ways as if they are being locked into using them.

IF YOU WANT AN EXTRA CHALLENGE STOP BEING SUCH A DPS GOBLIN AND JUST EQUIP SOMETHING THATS NOT TOP TIER META AND STOP COMPLAINING JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

MOOD. Go off.

It's incredibly annoying to me. They always use the argument of "the game should FORCE me to do things, I should not SELF-IMPOSE challenges." And like. ? I'm sorry but what? It's a video game for a big audience, it's here to be playable and accessible to the widest possible playerbase. There are plenty of ways to make the game difficult for yourself, so knock yourself out if that's your thing, but don't force others into it.

Like, I enjoy hard content, I regularly at least attempt day 1 raids, I do master raids, GMs, solo and solo flawless content and all that. But only when I want to. Sometimes I don't and I don't want to suffer in a patrol zone or struggle in a seasonal activity I'm doing for the story. The majority of the players don't want that. Designing games for the professional gamers only has NEVER been a good idea and never will be. Fifty streamers can't sustain a video game. It needs casual players who will want to come back to the game instead of feeling defeated.

One of the reasons I really enjoy helping others is because I know that casual players tend to struggle in stuff that's basic activity for me. I've seen people unable to get through a strike. I've sat for 10 minutes rezing someone who couldn't do the jump in a seasonal activity. I want those people to be able to play basic content without feeling frustrated and I want them to know that there are people out there who will help them out.

And this doesn't apply just to basic content, although it should start with that. I think all dungeons and raids and everything should be things that all players can complete. Fine, doing a master raid with all challenges should be tough, but it should be achievable with time and practice, not impossible. What a lot of these "pros" want is just completely divorced from reality.

It takes days and days of practice every time a new master raid is out for me and my team (all with thousands of hours of playtime) to get comfortable to finally finish it. We're far from casual players and it still takes a lot of time to be able to finish hard content. Making it even harder is insane to me. Like, if something is so hard that my team full of people, each with 5000+ hours of playtime and a coordinated team that's been raiding together for years now can't finish it, that means it's absolutely impossible for probably 90% of the playerbase. That's wild to me. Raids and GMs should have more people playing them. If master raids are too easy for you, Mr. I-Play-Destiny-For-A-Living, that's on you buddy. Unequip the super god tier god roll meta guns and loadouts or play something else.

And ofc, another excuse they make is "if I don't use meta, I am not going to win a raid race!" Then don't. Idk. Let me play you the tiniest violin. This affects literally nobody except a grand total of 50 people. Run your meta in day 1, and play with random shit otherwise. Play raids with all white weapons. Play without mods. Play without a HUD. Do things solo only. I don't know, make up a way to spice things up for yourself. I'm not interested in that and neither are 99% of the players out there. The game is genuinely hard enough for the majority of the players. On top of that, I am here to feel like a powerful space fantasy superhero. I am NOT here to die to dregs in patrol zones. If there's ONE thing that I know for a fact that put people off from Lightfall (as in this year of Destiny), it's the difficulty changes. They're annoying, frustrating and for some a barrier to entry more than anything else.

If anyone's interested the Amazon TV show Those About To Die is basically doing "What if Andretti did manage to become the 11th team?" in Ancient Rome

Was anybody going to tell me last 200 pages of The Great Hunt were absolutely life-changing incredible or was I supposed to find that out by losing my shit on a plane myself?
