Totally straight gamer bros when they realize their taste in women is broader than they knew.

Don't forget "Maybe we shouldn't be here" closely followed by "I think I'll do the same thing at this other place too, I think that'll go over way better."

Games with this art style just feel so devoid of creativity because the characters are "just a chimp" and "that cute Asian girl from my gym". The designs don't communicate what they do or what their deal is. It's like they looked at "casual fit" fanart and thought "THAT'S what the people want"

#Meteorite over Frankfurt area about 15 minutes ago! Incredibly bright and left a prominent trail!

Seltsamer Titel. Besser: "Verbrecher-Konzern muss kleine Strafzahlung leisten, wegen Gefährdung von Millionen Menschen. Sie kreierten den Krebs, von dem sie profitierten!"

The game is peak, do not trust those who drop it for being a MOBA. Also, there is second mode that is a great intro. 10-15 minutes overall No farming Round-Based Bust-Of-5 Rogue-Like Item Choices

It's peak. Try the new mode! 4v4 Round based BO5 No farming Rogue-like item choices 10-15 mins a match

Nah, just play Deadlock. That's what they're ripping off now anyways.

Also, the build-browser inside the game. The ingame tipping system from Dota 2... They are really trying to take Valve's innovations wholesale lol

You don't have to last hit in Deadlock, you just have to make sure not to get denied. And you have to keep the clock in mind and do camps/sinners when they appear.

Try the new Street Brawl Mode then. 4v4 Round based No Farming All abilities unlocked Pick from 3 random items each round, rogue-like style

Cymen @cymen.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
There is a new mode called Street Brawl. 4v4 Round-Based Best-of-5 No farming at all All abilities unlocked Pick from a selection of random items each round, rogue-like style An entire match lasts 10-15 minutes.

Awesome! Any way to put that up on the Steam Workshop?

Cymen @cymen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
Not quite. Basically, a lot of coding tools these days now have smart auto-complete stuff that is "AI". But this CLARIFIES that they disallow generative AI use for content in the game, including art, music, VA etc. They had to clarify because people didn't agree which type of AI use was meant.

I have never touched this game but I know it is right next to Terraria in beloved indies that everyone gets at some point. My GF who is not even INTO GAMES asked me if we could try out Stardew Valley.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."

Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces.

Proud to be an American today!

USA 🇺🇸"Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster."

Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars

If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position"

Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

I am not a fan of Maduro or his regime. But this is another case of American interference for resources and control. They will take the Venezuelan people's oil and call it privatization; I call it theft. They will blame socialism instead of authoritarianism and install a puppet government.

As a German, I always correct English speakers when they call the Hakenkreuz a swastika. Very different symbols. Calling it a swastika is already softening it for deniability. "Akshually, it was a symbol long before the Nazis Blabla" Nope. Not the same facing direction and stand angle.

"this is exactly why I selectively ignore that I support horrible people. i might miss out." the spine of a gummy bear. "no ethical consumption under capitalism blabla" but when a boycott is as easy as not buying a videogame and that is too much for you, I'll doubt that you hold onto ANY principles

No, it's just the best in those categories, which is the point of the award. They SHOULD be considered in isolation of the other awards, otherwise that's the point? It lost to BF6 in sound design because that game does a better job in that category.

Remember, it was LEAKERS who INTERPRETED her look as "unicorn magical princess". But she is clearly a Majorette, not a princess. So the "unicorn" thing might be made up as well. She might just be an Ixian in a marching band.

It has always been a very successful scheme to tell people they are investing in the greatest game ever made while only putting out disconnected playable showcases with less gameplay than the average Steam Next Fest demo.

I do not see why that would not happen on Vine. Time moved forward, yes but that does not spell Doom for alternatives, ESPECIALLY when they disallow AI which is important.
