Why do you and Lauren Theisen seem to think conservative men do not care about female sports?

Monsters in Dauntless get tired, they get mad, they flinch when you hit them just like they do in MHW. The Great Jagras is scripted to go eat to initiate a different “phase” of the fight. Dauntless monsters switch phases all the time during a fight. Also, even lesser Embermane is significantly more challenging than…

I’m not going to argue that Dauntless is great, but it’s fun enough if you temper expectations a little bit. The monsters get a lot more interesting once you get past the first batch. 95% of the microtransactions are cosmetic, and the others are speed up mechanics typical of F2P games.

If it was just scaling, then why was it just the lvl 1 defender (or weapons) that would do more damage and not just a lvl one any item slot to drop your over all ranking?

People figured out the scaling issue by mistake, fairly early on in the game. People found out that by starting a new loadout and using the level 1 Defender (or other starting guns) and level 1 skills, they were able to do significantly more damage relative to enemy health bars than with their max level…

I was wondering if there was some kind of other motive about this, but I guess there isn’t. I know that some rap has historically had some not-so-stellar track records on being inclusive, so I thought maybe that was the angle, but no.   

I recently picked Dauntless back up after a long hiatus - I haven’t played since shortly after they opened up paid access (a friend bought it and gifted me the code). Man have they changed a lot, it’s almost a different game.

Loot isn’t the biggest problem with the game, it’s just the one everybody focuses on because it’s the most immediately visible.

I understand that there is a lot going on behind the scenes that keeps Bioware from increasing the loot drops, but why can’t they at least explain those problems?

But having 90% luck (the max) didn’t make a noticeable difference. The biggest impact removing luck has is taking a less-desirable inscription off the table.

Nah... EA’s perfectly reasonable to force a release date after almost 7 years of development. Anthem’s failings are 95% on BioWare. They had an extraordinary amount of time to get Anthem in a good state for release, but through comically bad mismanagement, they didn’t even have a working game until 18 months prior to…

As a fellow non-hockey knower, it looked like it was not intentional. He didn’t appear to be trying to do anything other than levy a hard hit, but Grzelcyk bent over a little bit causing Sundqvist to essentially smash his head against the glass. At that speed, I don’t know how much either one of them could have done…

Fair enough. I enjoyed Cloverfield because I kind of liked the different take on a monster movie, but I would have liked a follow-up actually showing the monster more directly and the continuation of the story.

I do remember watching that last scene after people said you could see the monster in the background, then squinting and rewinding again like 15 times and never seeing it.

I mean, they could sell that data to third parties pretty easily. Data is a big industry and getting people to provide potentially intrusive data not only willingly, but gladly is like the holy grail.

This does not mean that HR personnel are evil, duplicitous, or otherwise untrustworthy

Yeah, exactly. He’s not head and shoulders ahead of everybody else where he can functionally drag an entire team comprised almost entirely of burlap sacks full of potatoes to the Finals anymore (see: this season), but he’s also getting old enough that you can’t really build around him anymore.

He’s gotta be top 3 at least, but I can’t imagine he’s actually worth the hassle at this point.

They don’t creep me out, but I’m really tired of hearing them. I got tired of hearing them when I was in high school. I’m particularly tired of Santeria, as that seems to be the only relatively “safe” one of their singles, and thus, the only one that gets widely played.

Yeah, but in a random MTG Arena match I’m not sticking around to see if some kind of fluke happens and I’m able to dig out of a very large hole.
