@sclyde I hope you can buy the key components soon. Sounds like them tariffs are gonna happen ASAP

#MarvelRivals I dig myth busting videos like this. They’re usually a good mix of informative, fun, and absurd (like the Loki unlimited duplicates section). This one is great. https://youtu.be/YxxrQmx8GXk?si=ZJd_G0VHqXrLFXOg

#TheFirstDescendant has lost 96% of its players

Apparently being a degenerate studio and catering to horny 12-year-old goblins still won’t save you

Go anti-woke go broke

lol

10/10 game of all time #MarvelRivals #JeffTheLandShark #JeffTheShark

@JTO_is_Typing Not sure where I could find that in-game. Being a hero fighter/shooter, it doesn't really have 'end credits.' But a simple search did find what seems like a positive post on her website about it: https://1979semifinalist.substack.com/p/little-land-shark-that-could

I don't know if I will ever get over #JeffTheLandShark in #MarvelRivals

Every hero has a details screen where you can check out their cosmetics, abilities, lore, and more. On the lore screen, every character has a signature. Most are just basic cursive or type.

Check out Widow, she's in Russian. Really, check out all the characters, it's a fun detail.

BUT THEN CHECK OUT JEFF'S SIGNATURE

Any #MarvelRivals folks know what these Inventory items are? I think you collect them from certain achievements and store/pass unlocks.

Store > Inventory

What do they do? They have tiny lore bits attached but otherwise... 🤷🏻♂️

I would like to speak to the Manager of Nameplates in #MarvelRivals so they can explain why every character in the new season pass got an animated Nameplate except Rocket

and, as a follow-up, ask why they hate Rocket with all their being

and, as an extra follow-up question, why they were allowed to become Manager of Nameplates for Marvel Rival despite the fact they hate Rocket with all their being

Somehow this is the first time I’ve seen people post a gaming screenshot from an ultrawide display and people poked fun at it (since it’s harder to see the detail OP asked about) 😆

It should be against the law to kill Jeff

I said what I said

#MarvelRivals

@chris Hrm. I thought about that one too, but it doesn’t really fit the “Slasher” category it’s in. Yeah Scarecrow is spooky, but Jason and Scream Guy (or whatever) like, hack people to pieces. I’m not sure that’s what Bungie’s going for there.

Ok #Destiny2 folks and especially fans of spooky stuff: new TWiD is up with, among other things, concept art for the next FotL.

Both look fun to me, but who does the Warlock slasher (pic 1, right side) reference?

I assumed Ken Levine left Irrational/Take Two because of studio tension or disagreement, didn't realize he was going through all this. What a rough ride.

Still, as a fan, it's nice to get some closure on what happened. Looking forward to Judas and I guess some other studio working on a #Bioshock 4.

@JTO_is_Typing Can dig for them later. But off the top of my head, I remember Bungie confirming this in a roundabout way during a talk at.... GDC? I think? Years ago, back when sunsetting came to #Destiny2

Was just reminded of the fact that #CallOfDuty and #Activision as a company learned long ago to weaponize the install size of their games.

(Ex)developers have confirmed this in interviews.

Once Activision made the connection between 1) Many, if not most, gamers have limited storage space, which 2) forces them to make tough decisions about which games to keep around, an evil light bulb went off.

Activision implemented policies to deliberately balloon the size of their games in order to push other games off players' systems.

They can't lose players to competing games if those games can't even be installed.

I don’t mess with #Nvidia DLSS, artificial frame generation, and all that malarkey

Only the best, organically generated frames for my OLED displays, grown from free-range alternating current

These displays are literally organic, it’s right in the name

@Lorhin What in the heckin matches are you playing

I don't play a ton of hero shooters, but #MarvelRivals has clicked with me. However

I love how these games try to sell MVP poses for Support/Strategist characters when they *have* to be the least common to receive an MVP at the end of a match

Like, yeah. I wish MVP would sometimes take healers into account. At the same time, watching someone heal other people doesn't exactly make for great, watchable gaming clips.

@Kernic Consider buying a lottery ticket 😆

(This is not financial advice)

Law firms have apparently contacted #GamersNexus because they're exploring a class action lawsuit against #NZXT

Spiffy
