What answer would have satisfied you? You started off aggressive and combative in the OP, then acted surprised when you were met in kind.

Built a new desktop, backed up everything on my old laptop, next step was to format an Arch installer USB. Instead of formatting the USB, I formatted my laptop’s /boot partition. No big loss since I had the backup and was done with that old toaster, but oops.

I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don’t know if it’s worth trying to upgrade now - I’m waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.

Youtube has a captive audience that isn’t going anywhere. The platform is too big to die, and too expensive for any challenger to seriously threaten it. And the only users they stand to lose with this move are the users who are costing them money, they don’t care if adblock users leave as long as they keep everyone else.

I’m using Stream Cleaner on Twitch, still works. The cat has not won yet.

I already have enough zillion-hour games to grind, I don’t need every game to be that. As much as I love JRPGs I have a hard time setting aside time to finish one these days since I have too much else I also want to play.

Pretty small patch overall, little bit underwhelmed.

Main weapon changes all look fine. I might give Hydra another go because I do like the kit, we’ll see how impactful this is.

Curling bomb 70%->65%… why. This is the teensiest tiniest non-buff that won’t help. At this point it just feels like they want half the subs in the game to be garbage, they’ll never get meaningful buffs.

Zooka nerf, it’s something. Still combos with itself, but you’ll have to be quick enough for them to not heal, and it does reduce how easily it combos with other things. But IMO what Zooka needed more than anything else was startup frames. It needs to be less of a jumpscare.

What did Custom Dualie Squelchers do to deserve 210p?

No one but John Nintendo actually knows for sure how matchmaking works, since that’s all server-side. We have some idea of parameters it looks at - rank, Glicko-2 rating, weapon range, location/ping, how long you’ve been waiting in queue. But there’s no way of knowing for sure what the server does with that information, how these parameters are weighted and prioritized against each other.

Based on what I’ve observed though, I think it is likely that only Series cares about letter rank (some people even think Series doesn’t either, but based on how Rank-Up Battle works I don’t think that’s correct), Open doesn’t appear to pay much attention to it. Letters are fake anyway, there’s a second internal rating being tracked: Glicko-2, which is a much better algorithm.

When Open was reworked a little while ago as a replacement for League, Glicko-2 is now visible when playing as a group. Press L during matchmaking and you’ll see “Calculating: X/5” for the first five games you play in a rotation, then after 5 games it’ll show your rating. Note that you only get to see it when playing with a team, and if the team changes it’ll take another 5 games to become visible again, but we know it’s always being tracked even when it isn’t shown. It’s a pretty safe assumption that this is what Open cares about, moreso than letters.

One important detail to note here is that it is calculating a rating for your team as a whole, which is why it goes back to “Calculating: 0/5” if the team changes. Even if there is a skill gap between teammates, that can be balanced by tracking how you perform together.

You can just say Hideo Kojima.

OP said remaster.

They already did, Reroll came out in 2018.

I don’t need a higher spec Steam Deck, most of what I play is all 2D indie games anyway. What I really want to see someday is a Steam Deck Pocket in a DS-sized form factor.

Ew, crypto.

I don’t know if Bill Cosby belongs in Good.

This hits very close to home. I’ve lost friends that were very dear to me because I tried to stand up for something important to me.

Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues and Splatoon 3

It’s just Grizzco

You wouldn’t experience being the clone though. You’d only be one of you, the other person is completely separate.

As far as an outside observer is concerned, the clone is identical to you in every way. But now you’re the outside observer, a dead outside observer, while that clone goes on and lives your life.

It’s not really about a ‘soul’, but your first person perspective of being you and not being someone else. Imagine if the teleporter malfunctioned and created the clone without disassembling you. That clone isn’t ‘you’, and disassembling you still wouldn’t make the clone you.

Place was good once, but you’re not missing anything now. Trying to recapture that magic just feels like Reddit is out of ideas and just desperately trying to remind people of the one good thing they ever did. It’s like Al Bundy still hyping up his high school football career because the rest of his life has been downhill since then.

Greatest of all time had to be the Nintendo DS. Such an amazing library full of games that weren’t afraid to try all kinds of crazy experiments.

Current-gen, my loyalty lies with Linux, even if the state of native ports isn’t so great.
