we can only hope

Keller added, with a slight sigh, that the Overwatch team probably would have built a system that did a better job of accommodating D.Va’s grand disappearing (and reappearing) act if the initial hero roster had included another hero that switched configurations like she does.

It’s no wonder that Miyamoto started playing Zelda and just began climbing trees.

Has there been any indication by the big tournaments on whether they will adopt this or not? Hard to imagine that you quit your job to finish a side-project without some kind of market analysis that tournaments would actually use this.

I hate design. It’s a neverending contest to see who can find the most irrelevant thing and fetishize the shit out of it.

AOE and To The Moon were robbed.

Yeah no. I’m a programmer and I love my job. And on more than one occasion I’ve pulled 60-70 hour weeks and a fair number of 50-60 hour weeks. But I’m sorry you’re just wrong.

Cosmo, when he still existed, did a pretty good explanation of barrier skip. Mind you, back when it was still impossible. It’s unreal we got this far.

Yeah, everything is fun and laughter until you get something like Longchu:

You could have 100 arguments for Smash 4, and it still wouldn’t matter - this isn’t determined by what the games offer on paper. The community ultimately decides what they want to see. If Smash 64 tournaments had the biggest sign-ups and drew the biggest audience, then it’d be Smash 64 that was still the dominant game…
