This game looks incredible and hope it will scratch the PvE itch that Hunt Showdown couldn't for me my main concern is PvP, because i can't find if you can opt-out of it and still play co-op store.steampowered.com/app/3734220/...

i think we should call it "regurgitative" AI instead of "generative" it's not generating anything new, it's just vomiting up a half-digested buffet of everything it's stolen.. a vile, disgusting mass being eroded by the bile of commonality until its devoid of anything unique, artistic or expressive

there are WAY too many AFK supports in overwatch, it's true, and i don't understand it i LOVE peeling and taking 1v1's or 1v2's on anti-dive duty i learned to do it bc it's miserable just being Genji fodder, and it's wild how many supps refuse to learn to counter dive and cry all day instead

how does bttv STILL not have a "mark all as seen" button for its extension? you are an EXTENSION, to run in the BACKGROUND. i don't need to be told to browse your entire menu to clear notif dots because your engineers think it's REALLY IMPORTANT™️ that i can change my name color ffz still winning

finally read the diablo 5 recap on the launcher first, the return to runewords is a mistake. they are the reason items in d2 are bad, because they remove choice. it's the same reason d4 items bad, because mythic gear INSTANTLY outperforms all your build to the point your aren't even playing it

psa: you can disable the cursor change when you browse the discord store, if you're like me and despise when programs take it upon themselves to change your UI without your permission

disabling the custom cursor in the discord shop

> discord settings

> Accessiblity

> color & contrast

> toggle "enable custom cursor in shop"

been trying to get some Risk of Rain Returns runs in before bed on the steamdeck and that game is just as brutal as i remember i've taken a liking to enforcer, a character that has no business working as well as he does it's a game i always wished i was ok at so here's hoping it goes like RoR2

esp as the series has moved towards faster, deadlier encounters with multi-phase bosses that are essentially meatgrinders that combo you to death for a single mistake.. the souls series has REALLY worn out the gravitas of 20s death screens i don't think we need instant respawn, but cmon

lmao the discord enshittification continues you know how you can watch ads for orbs? and the buttons gave you an estimated watch time? now there's only 2 "watch 29s" and "watch 30s+" the Valorant ad went from "30s+" to FOUR FKING MINUTES anything to trick you into watching more ads, right?

Valorant ad on the Discord quests page showing 4 minutes requirement, but only after it lies first by saying it's only 30 seconds

the o line is terrible and dk metcalf still can't catch a ball unless there's no defenders within 10 yards, but people still want to blame Rodgers because that's the narrative the nfl pushes i think he's an idiot, but the Steeler's issues have been around for 7 years (at least) he hasn't.

quickplay is for learning TEAM PLAY with a hero, NOT for "learning a new hero" there is a difference if you want to learn a hero, play DEATHMATCH it's 1000% more efficient at building muscle memory, rotations, and teaching you to quickly react to changing engagements get. out. of. quickplay.

these extra, mappable buttons on the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 are so damn good i was hesitant to use them because they seemed so odd, but 5 minutes of actively using them and they're already feeling natural, along with the extra buttons on the back grips. and it has steam input and gyro support!

the top shoulder buttons on an 8BitDo Ultimate 2. LB, LT, and their L4 buttons

it's half of what a steam controller costs! get it!

currently playing Elden Ring:
L4 is Dpad Up (Sorceries,Inc., etc)
LG is Down (flasks/consumables)
RG is Sprint/Roll (don't have to take thumb off camera controls)
R4 is Interact (pick up things full sprint in combo with RG, and be able to call Torrent mid sprint in combo with LG)

if kiriko swapped roles, the game's balance would be in tatters (suzu, a necessary evil) AND Blizzard would lose half of its skin revenue overnight that should show how much sombra matters to blizzard
