That’s the thing, though. I don’t think my connection is the problem (I listed the details, 5Ghz wireless with the device right next to the router should not be having stuttering issues). I’m almost certain it’s the people I’m getting matched up against with potato internet.. sometimes I have lag free games, but…

Which brings me to my other beef(case), what in the actual hell is with Nintendo’s voice communication system? It’s absurd that it is way more convenient for me to just turn on Discord on my PC and wear my PC headphones to communicate, rather than have some way to voice chat through my Switch. More convenient in…

Right, but is there a way to invite them from in the game, or do they just have to know to join?

Played a lot of Smash over the weekend, my thoughts on this are the same. It’s a brilliant game, but holy shit the online play is a dumpster fire. Like I don’t know how they don’t have one single person on the development team who plays games online regularly and could have seen these issues a mile away.

Honestly, if the skill gap is sufficiently wide, how do you play and not look like you’re “showing off”? Honestly curious. Do you just pick shitty characters and go derp in a corner of the level by yourself? Limit yourself to basic attacks only? Crank your damage % handicap way up? All of those things would help make…

Please, PLEASE don’t have microtransactions.

Now I want a crossover where Kirby swallows Emperor Palpatine and gets a wrinkly face with grey hair and shoots lightning at everybody.

Star Wars.

Right. I’ve addressed this elsewhere, but that error doesn’t really change the original point. He’s a big, powerful human being. It’s not like he’s a kicker or something.

Thanks for being the 4th person to point out that obvious error that had little to nothing to do with the original point. You’re very helpful and smart.

Oops, yeah that was a slip on my part. Doesn’t really change the main point though. He is (was) a big NFL player.

The drunk chick is definitely, absolutely a horrible person, but there’s a balance of power to be considered here when it turns into a physical altercation. He’s a super strong NFL linebacker, she’s a not-particularly-strong woman in a dress.

...Freud? You’re still around?

Yeah. I’m not really buying the sincerity given his reputation, but in a vacuum he gave the right apology. Not excuses, no “I’m sorry, but...”. At least he owned it, unlike Graviton.

I actually love Overwatch lootboxes. That little dopamine rush when I wonder what could be popping out next.

I played Dragon Age 2 for about 2-3 hours when it came out, hated it, and put it away in storage. Came back to it a few years later, and I’m not sure what I was smoking the first time around. I couldn’t get enough. I think the key is to embrace what it’s trying to do... it’s not as technically fiddly or complex as…

I just have mine connected via an ethernet plug in the wall, works pretty well. For me, it acts more like an HDMI extender from my computer that runs through the existing network cabling in my home.

Made the mistake of taking a drink while opening this article.

Think your reading comprehension is off. Try again?

Okay, gotcha. I misinterpreted the phantom draft, I assumed it would let you practice drafting and building decks, but wasn’t sure it would let you go up against other players. Having it be a “practice against other people for fun” mode makes a lot of sense.
