Low levels were still pretty active all the way into January, which is the last time I played. We’re very close to a year out from launch though. You might have luck with a realm transfer with some research.

Seriously! The Cloud/Sephiroth interaction is total nonsense all the way down. I keep waiting for the backstory reveal about why they hate/love each other so much or whatever and it just never comes.

Smash Ultimate is a really good example of patching done right. They come at an infrequent pace and never “revamp” the game, just tweak things to be a little more fair. They’ll add like 4 frames of lag to an attack or something, it’s no big deal to most players.

A lot of other games (Overwatch) are patched in a way…

No, the article not only very right, it is probably the most important tip in here. You can really feel the difference when you actually do it, it makes you less physically imposing and that’s a big deal.

“While Scotland is to the South in the UK, it looks like the snowy region up top may represent the country in Galar.”

Mario Kart is a much better Mario Kart than Smash can ever be, and funnily enough Mario Kart is also much more subdued than Smash 4 with its nonsense stage design. Party game design is not just about taking the “random” dial and cranking it up to 11. Furthermore, anyone who plays the game for a serious length of time…

Because one-tricking is widely agreed to be the best way to actually improve skill. It’s the same way in most pvp games too. You get really good at one character, maybe one other, because focusing exclusively on that character’s mechanics leads to more consecutive repetition of key maneuvers, tactics and skills…

The people who say “gg” long before the match is over need to be thrown into a volcano.

More and more often I just play with all communication channels off nowadays.

It’s... questionable. Legion’s Suramar stories stood out as pretty engaging, but the Illidan story was impressively awful schlock.

Didn’t Cataclysm get rid of the Defias and Van Cleef uprising stories? I thought those were replaced with some lame dragon shit and quests to beat up displaced homeless people (yes really).

Please stop with the groupthink bullshit you don’t have the slightest idea of what “today’s kids” want.

You seriously expect a modern scifi show to use the same visual style as the fucking groovy 60s? Good lord.

The real offensive thing here is that the “London” team has absolutely no connection to London whatsoever. Why is this league so fucking fake?

Funny story but I sincerely hope people do not actually treat their kids this way. :p

This gonna blow your mind but: there are men’s fashion magazines.

This through-line is just wrong. Mercy constantly has the highest healing throughput at almost every skill level /because/ she is easy to use, and her beams always hit. She has high mobility and a ton of tricks to keep her out of harm’s way, base resurrect is still extremely useful, and Valk is a very strong ability…

You got some issues man.

Have you heard of these things called planes?

A lot of senior software engineers are worth 10k/month just on their base salary alone, so... yeah gonna go with a low estimate maybe.

There’s literal decades of online-gaming behavioral research, much of it coming from the MMO industry (Jeff, what), basically all of it indicates how serious a problem toxicity is for both player community and bottom line, and how it requires serious attention and resources to address. Yes, this is much more important…

The game is MUCH better now than in S2.
