The dev comments in the patch make it seem like they don’t even know how their own game works. The nerfs to crit and vulnerable damage just make those stats even more necessary on gear, not less. Now you need it on more pieces and higher rolls where you get it.

I’ve used both methods to fight them, depending on whether the blocks were within Ultrahand reach or not.  This article is calling proper tactics “cheese”, which makes me think they’ve not actually played the game.

But hire Chris D’elia first so that we can watch him get fired THEN replaced by Notaro.

I’ve seen a thousand people say the same thing, that Martinet’s Mario couldn’t carry a movie. But like... the dude’s a real voice actor. He’s also a human man who can speak in full sentences when the situation calls for it. I have no doubt he could hit the happy medium voice for a Mario who’s believably from the real…

I have friends who at this very moment are sitting at their desk on break playing mobile games they will tell you they don’t enjoy because the phsycogical tricks hooked them. The entire point of designing games around them is the game doesn’t need to be fun or interesting as long as the dopamine hit of opening a loot…

Do they? People spend real money on fake slot machine apps (i.e. which don’t pay out real money) all the time, and there’s no argument to be made that those games are “fun” beyond the gambling dopamine rush.

But for too long, the media discussion of mobile gaming has ignored the human component: the actual players. ... Their games aren’t inherently inferior, and they’re consciously choosing to play games that fit into their busy lives. It’s time that PC and console players learn to respect that.

If that were true slot machines wouldn’t exist.

A guy who doesn’t work can definitely play his way out of a sport. But according to everyone I’ve known who was involved at the pro level (not that many, but still...), every single one of the guys on the roster was The Man at every step from little league through college or minors.  Talent wins every time.

Yeah, this is one of those things where you wish it was more shocking than it was. 

Yeah, the fact that Murn surviving the door charge explosion was an important plot point to show that he wasn’t a normal human makes me think that Vigilante must be a metahuman.

So are we adding a section to the review scores for how much a game has potentially offensive material to hyper sensitive politically correct junkies?

I doubt Waller is a butterfly. Planting the journal to put everything on Peacemaker so she can get him back under her thumb in Belle Reve is a typical Waller move.

It’s funny as well that we should get one of the episode’s many new and returning cameos from Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who spends most of her screen time warning against the dangers of attachment. For all of the Jedi philosophizing the show indulges in, none of that seems to exist beyond textural window…

Unannounced Survival Game...

I don’t have a lot of empathy for people who deliberately choose misinformation from random people over advice from expert doctors. I don’t have a lot of empathy for people who are fine putting others at risk.

I hope he didn’t compound his misery by watching it too.

Antony Starr deserves all the awards. He’s a HELL of a fit for Homelander and took what could’ve been a very goofy role and gave it the edge it needed without being super-grim.

1) Because it’s watched by the same boomers who love NCIS and Blue Bloods and The Closer and whatever other milquetoast nonsense appeals to people like my dad.
