Yeah, this concerns me because it seems like they’re going the wrong way. Lootboxes may be [mostly] a scourge upon gaming, but they’re no more “gambling” than those quarter-turn capsule toy machines. You know, the ones made for children. I’m also someone who actually enjoys the occasional blind-box/bag items,…

Honestly, multiplayer skill/twitch-based games should never have a progression system that improves your character. Overwatch is actually a great, recent, example of that. Your level has no baring on how powerful you are, nor does your competitive rank. Every person who picks Tracer gets the exact same Tracer, with…
That’s... exactly the problem? The whole idea of milking pay-or-earn lootboxes is via obnoxiously low chances on the great items. If the rates/chances were high, people would drop less money on the boxes, instead relying more on earning them in-game.
Someone only opening boxes they earn through gameplay is only…
I haven’t offered up any statistics. In fact, the only reference to statistics I’ve made is that I don’t have any. But, just for funzies, do you, Mr. Statistics-Are-The-End-All-Be-All have statistics that disprove the basic concept that opening fire in a crowd is dangerous?
You’ve got your burden of proof a little off…
If you’re in a confined space (like a mid-sized church) with, let’s say, 80 panicking bystanders and one active shooter, you don’t need precise statistics to tell you that opening fire has a high chance of hitting a bystander. That’s just playing the numbers. Unless you’re a sharpshooter with a good vantage, of…
I don’t have any exact statistics for you, but if there’s a scenario with a single shooter and packed crowd of people looking to not get shot, then, yes, you are significantly more likely to accidentally wound or kill a bystander than you are to get that crack shot off on the shooter.
Also in a situation where someone…
Hell, we need to get people to stop believing things because they “have a feel of truthiness” period. Not just about things they read on the internet, but also all the crap they see on TV, read in print media (that’s still a thing, right?), or hear from some asshole at work. Especially when it’s coming from from…
“This person lying about their employ is most assuredly telling the truth about literally everything else ever.”
~The most gullible person ever, on their first day on twitter
Sure, it’s totally believable. But, that’s how good lies work. Let’s keep in mind that he’s somehow the only person who has reported death threats over this specific issue. Which means either:
-EA policy is not to discuss such things, and he has violated that policy
-EA policy is not to discuss such things, but as he’s…
So, the thing is, your line of thinking seems to be “guy who is probably lying about working at EA is still totally 100% telling the truth about receiving personal attacks and death threats,” but, why? If he’s lying about his employment (most likely for attention) and has a history of so-called “white knighting” for…
Yes. An artist being a monster in their personal affairs [assuming they don’t bleed into their art] has as much baring on their product as any other person.
If it came to light that Jobs, Gates, Turing, and Babbage were all card-carrying Nazis, would you throw out all your computing devices (computer, smartphone, etc)…
I know stupid and lazy is kind of white supremacy’s wheelhouse, but seriously, did no one suggest black olives? I guess maybe they’re olive-racist, too.
Hell, they don’t even need a whole separate site, just segregate the adult content to it’s own section. I can easily browse places like AmiAmi or RightStuf without accidentally running into their adult/NSFW content.
I’ll never really get the need to police other people’s interests (so long as they’re not harmful). I’m…
They’d probably either need to change his design a bit (more armored up, maybe more of a seraphim or archangel style with six wings) and/or change his class. But I don’t think there’d be much a problem getting him in.
Change the wings (I’d say give him four or six larger wings), armor him up a little more (he’s already more armored than Angela) and give him some different mechanics, and that sounds like a winner to me.
Overwatch’s style of lootboxes honestly doesn’t bother me. I mean, the limited-time boxes are kind of iffy, but since [currently] those items return every time the event does, it’s not so bad. The only change I would make is adding a way to earn currency directly in the game.
HotS isn’t that bad either, only being…
It’s called projection, and in my experience it’s par for the course in terms of [mentally deficient] narcissists.
It’s the title given to Future Trunks’ powered up Super Saiyan 2 state. And, honestly, if you issues in all this are pure semantics, most of the “made-up” DB Wiki names come from a mix of whatever-names-the-fans-are-using (it is a wiki, after all) and [poor] translations of what the Japanese are calling them.
Like,…
He calls it Super Saiyan Level 3. The Super Saiyan transformations have levels and grades. Level 1 has normal, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Perfect Grade(Full Power). Theoretically Level 2 should also have grades, but all we really see in Z is Majin Vegeta’s modified SS2. SS1, SS1g2, SS1g3, SS1p, SS2, SS3 adds up to six…
