I’m actually split because as a daily warzone player, I encounter cheaters daily. My understanding is that this would cut down on it because once you’re banned, you can’t just fire up a new account. Cheaters ruin the game and I know that no matter what anti cheats they have, it will always be defeated. Having said…

I’m in the queue for a promotion at work(already doing the job but paperwork needs to get done). When it goes through I’m buying a steam deck as a my gift to myself.

For someone whose literal job is acting, Pratt sure did not convince me he has ever even seen a video game. Dude sounded like they were making him adlib with a gun just offscreen moments after he hit a blunt.

People just can’t get enough of “Grimace with more eyes than Grimace normally has” I guess.

I think the key takeaway is that it’s a game as a service. Normally, when you beat a game, and new game plus if it exists, the game is over. But players have continued to play Genshin, being excited to experience the new content and take it on with the characters they’ve built up over hundreds of hours (and dollars),…

Lets add to the nonsense of this fight with the fact that Geo reaction crystals get stuck under his body and you can’t grab them. Also when he switches phases he stops taking any damage for almost 10 seconds often wasting shields and bursts and other buffs. I hate this fight

Eh, confirmation bias. I’ve known plenty of good decent guys that look similar.

I’ll take “ Not Taking The Hint “ for 200.

and this is why Nona Gaprindashvili sued Netflix for The Queen’s Gambit. When you are part of a field so overwhelmingly against you, any slight or minimization of the work feels is like agreeing with shitheads like this.

I know you can't judge a book by its cover, but it feels like every time I read about a hate crime, racism, or bigotry, they look like THAT in the header image and it gets that much harder to resist doing.

It sounds like the returning players don’t have to pay the $40, though?

Meanwhile the rest of the current player base is actually thankful for these changes which will:

This isn’t free to play grind bullshit as much as it is, “we want you to learn this game and its mechanics before jumping into games with other people who very much know what they’re doing”

Well, I don’t think it’s a big deal in the slightest, and was just writing up a lighthearted thing that keeps coming up in our Slack. I’m dreadfully sorry this ruined your day.

Let’s be abundantly clear here: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild in a way no Zelda game has been a direct sequel since 1987's Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Yes, sure, Majora’s Mask followed on from Ocarina of Time, and Phantom Hourglass picked up after Wind Waker, but TotK is…

In some interview, or maybe a reddit AMA, they mentioned that designing all the PvE modes for heroes turned out to actually be as difficult, if not more difficult, than designing a new hero from scratch. So all the time developing PvE abilities for the existing core class took a ton of time.

“This weapon lacks inking power but makes up for it by how good it is at splatting enemies”

I’m on the opposite end, still sticking with the Aerospray for the third time because nothing else feels good to use. I’m bad at getting kills, so why not spec all the way into coverage? Honestly can’t stand matches against people with “killing” weapons, it’s a valid strategy to keep the other team down but it’s so…
