Good post, good explanation, sorry you got downvoted by people who can't read

Caveat about Ender's Game and Orson Scott Card: dude is a fucko whackjob irl, just pirate it lol

asymmetric ,

You really believe that someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Arrowhead CEO says Helldivers 2 balancing patches have 'gone too far' recently: 'It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed' ( www.pcgamer.com )

Replying to a player on Twitter who said recent patches have made the game "unplayable," Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt conceded that he's not satisfied with his studio's current balancing approach....

asymmetric OP ,

League of Legends did this when they released new champions. New champ is overtuned for about a month, then it gets nerfed back down to baseline. Who knows how much money they got when people bought RP to get the sexy new champ and all their skins.

I'm making an announcement to everyone:

I'm canceling my plans for today, codenamed Kestrel. You will never know what they were.

asymmetric OP , (edited )

Looks like you gotta eat your sneakers. Please do it. For democracy.

asymmetric ,

I can see it. Arrowhead just wants to keep shoving themselves up our asses.

An internet classic

I hear this guy is pretty good at getting fucked

I bought this game in early access like 10 YEARS AGO lol. Feels like it has been in my library forever now.

Not to rain on Rimworld's parade, but where is the next Rimworld successor? We had Dwarf Fortress > Rimworld > ???

There is an entire generation growing up that only understands "Discord" as "chat app" instead of as the vocab word.

Sylvia is underappreciated

So I'm a dirty pirate and I always thought that at the end of the episode during the "letters to home" gag, I just had a bad copy of S1 and S2 and they were unintentionally cut short. But even in this episode, the letter was cut off... so I guess that's the way they are supposed to be?

asymmetric ,

They HAD a cool PVE mode that they put a ton of effort in to creating. They released a bunch of fun minigames as a promotion for all their Star Guardian stuff. Then after a few weeks, it went away and never came back.

asymmetric ,

Damn, now we don't know what we don't know, because the guy deleted another comment lol.

The OP's comment (which has now been deleted) was "If you read some of the comments I've deleted, you would know."

Can someone sell me on the appeal of this anime?

I remember this play and the entire series very well. It was the most exciting playoff series in the last decade+. However, it was Crosby knocking away Voracek's glove.

asymmetric ,

Lol I remember that too. Hello, fellow anime/hockey fan.

asymmetric ,

Yes, it would be great if some production committee took a swing on making a traditional sports shounen. As long as it isn't some bottom budget afterthought it could be legitimately good.

As for my team, I'm a Flyers fan. How about yourself?

asymmetric ,

I am far from Philly and have not been there in a long, long time, so I can't give you firsthand info what conditions are like. But the Flyers are also years removed from being a packed house sellout crowd. Also, one of the last home games before Chuck Fletcher got fired last year, the WFC was full of Rangers fans. They turned it into their barn for that game and beat us lol. You might go there and meet more Rangers fans than Flyers fans.

asymmetric ,

Was it because of a player? Family?

Sorta both. My parents aren't even hockey people, they never played, they don't skate, but for whatever reason they have always loved the Flyers. Combine that with Lindros being the effing man for about 6 years in the 90s, caused me to become a Flyers fan since then.

Honestly sometimes I wonder why I even like my team lol. They haven't been good for about 14 years and we are in for at least another few tough years before Briere can clean out the Chuck Fletcher stink from Philly.

asymmetric ,

Bad straw man argument

asymmetric ,

No part of that guy's comment is valid. He's not even the barest bit subtle about how badly he is distorting the facts.

Nobody is talking about any of these things: a gun that 1 tapped every enemy, infinite ammo, auto aiming, wanting every gun to become a 1 tap super weapon. It's not even part of the discussion. All of these are imaginary things this person made up. Somehow people are just looking at it and nodding instead of calling out the bullshit.

asymmetric ,

Is there a name for the phenomenon when a company or group has access to all of the metrics for a product or good then makes foolish decisions using that information?

Right now Arrowhead can deflect all criticism of their actions by saying "we made this decision based on the numbers" while ignoring the fact that metrics aren't magic numbers blindly meant to be followed, you are supposed to use them to discover underlying reasons for why those numbers exist in the first place.

This patch is a big L for me and a bad omen for what is to come of this game if the devs are making their decisions like this.

Honestly, weak AF.

Part of the ongoing enshittification of Reddit is that companies have taken over their respective subreddits and are publicly controlling the narratives of their own products on what used to be a free and community owned forum.

Would hate to see the Helldivers community turn into the weird culty echo chamber that Ghost Ship cultivates with Deep Rock Galactic.

asymmetric ,

NTA, shoulda practiced your swordsmanship

asymmetric ,

Warning people about kernel level access is valid. Nobody is disagreeing with that end point. Everyone is taking exception to the wild logic you used to get there as well as the fact that you didn't read the article.

asymmetric ,

I'm responding only because I think your insanity is amusing, btw.

I didnt read it?

Clearly you didn't read the article.

Pretty sure our boy Joel can manipulate the game server wide or get granular enough to give a specific player power ups.

HOW did you come to this conclusion if you actually read the article??! READ THE ARTICLE PLEASE. NB: do not confuse "Planets" with "individual matches" because they are not the same.

the rest of your novella of a comment

My brother in Christ. Nobody thinks this level of invasive bullshit is a good thing. You don't have to keep explaining the part we all already know.

asymmetric ,

I thought they were just paying someone to half assedly maintain MAL for the last few years, but it turns out they were paying someone to build a back end and create a browsable database so they can sell user's information for their own profit.

I really liked DRG. Have maxed out all the classes and enjoy carrying people through Haz5 and EDD. However, DRG:Survivor from the very first announcement just seemed like nothing more than a cash grab to me and made me uninterested in it.

asymmetric ,

One of the original Reddit memes was quite prescient:

I liked when Summer said "Space Momma" because that was cute.

The animation actually looks good but I dislike the character designs and art style. I know they picked an action sequence to show off, but the real meat of R&M has always been the comedy - I wonder how that will translate with a Japanese production team at the helm.

Weird to think that R&M has been around for 10 years already. Maybe even as recently as 3 years ago I was still really hyped about this show and I would have been more excited, but now I am just sorta like "meh."

asymmetric ,

So what's next, Fortday?

asymmetric ,

He's suffering from Washington Capitals-itis

asymmetric ,

I'm just here to provide the standard PSA saying that you are free to make up your own opinion about anime instead of having someone on Youtube tell you what to think. The amount of people who don't seem to realize this is depressing.

asymmetric ,

Because the guy wasn't responding to that prompt. He was responding to the question:

Fuck off, how come most sports don’t have fights but hockey players are special like that?

asymmetric ,

You are putting in a lot of effort to die on the dumbest hill ever.

asymmetric ,

Yeah, and "super cheap" is pretty much a flat out lie.

asymmetric ,

Anyone else notice that MAL locked their forum discussion on this same topic for the reason of "Please refrain from posting thread topics which extend beyond the discussion of anime/manga as an entertainment medium."

What kind of brain dead take is that? There was nothing controversial happening in that thread, then still locked anyway.

asymmetric ,

As the viewer, you're not required to like Makoto. As a character, I thought he was great. He felt extremely human as the kind of guy who let his dick make all of his decisions for him and tried too hard to please everyone at once.
