You say that but even hearing that I still feel like I want something like that. You're probably right though.

These kinds of moments are pure Remedy magic. Take Control is similarly amazing but hell, they've been doing quirky levels since Max Payne! Maybe even Death Rally? I never played that one.

It's more that it gets the one to chase after the other and gets rid of both in one trick. Though I guess whether you believe it was intentional or not is another matter, but given how smart we know they are I choose to believe it.

Lovely result and what a turnaround. Love watching Rutter play. He's got something of Mousa Dembele about him with his combination of physicality and close control, and the almost awkward way he can dribble but have the ball stick to him. Dembele used to be my favourite player so thrilled to have someone fill that hole - just waiting for Brighton to move him to midfield now!

I'm sure there is enough data available from Reddit to make some sort of study about names of subs and their impact on subscriber growth. Would be an interesting read for sure - interesting as fuck, even!

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 21 hours ago

To each their own, I suppose. "Interesting as fuck" may be a Reddit-ism or it may not, it's a lively name that captures the mood and intent of the community well: post things that make you go "wow, that's interesting as fuck!"

In my opinion, "Interesting shares" is an incredibly bland and lifeless name that doesn't really tell me anything about the community or make me want to subscribe. Though I suppose a community about interesting things having an uninteresting name is ironically funny.

Like the other poster said, Epic financed and published AW2 and paid good money for exclusivity. I doubt you'll see it on Steam anytime soon. The only way to play it without Epic Games Launcher and all that is on console.

The game is worth it though. One of my most memorable gaming experiences over the past few years. And if you're planning on upgrading I'll tell you it looks absolutely gorgeous. One of the few games where ray tracing actually has a noticeable impact, too, in my opinion.

The ride definitely continues in Alan Wake 2, so you have lots to look forward to! Remedy are such a beacon of hope in today's AAA landscape.

It still has some kinks that need ironing out, and it could for sure use a bigger roster, but they're cooking with this one. The MOBA core and superb movement mechanics just complement each other so nicely, and with both powerful easy to use active items and ability-based heroes available it's possible to perform even if you're not an aim god.

I know the fan mod project for FF8 is jokingly named Demaster in protest of the official remaster, but I never thought a large company would release an honest to god demake of a game - and charge you for it!

Neat, sounds useful!

Post the match IDs of any games where you thought matchmaking was poor into the linked thread in order to help tune the algorithm.

DISCLAIMER: The past 24h (Oct 3-4th) have had extra poor matchmaking due to a bug, so omit any IDs from that time frame.

It's very sad to see one of the most high-effort Dota content creators stop. I completely sympathise with their reasons, but I will sorely miss their videos as there were so many heroes I wish they'd gotten to do videos about.

Community: !dota2@lemmy.ml

Still have an open void in your life since the Olympics ended? Why not fill it with some esports? Valve's huge The International tournament for Dota 2 started this week, so I thought I'd make a promo post for its community here on Lemmy.

Out of every 10 games I play, maybe one of them is a close, even game where everyone is on roughly the same skill level - and that's probably me being generous.

Almost every game has people on either team not just losing their lane but going something like 0-17. I know it's early alpha and has had a huge influx of players recently so maybe it's to be expected to some extent, but even back in my Dota days matchmaking was never this bad. This is like, public WC3 Dota 1 lobbies level.

How are you guys finding it? Anyone break through the MMR barrier into a point where you're getting consistently good games? How long did it take, and what MMR? (you can check here

Someone had to be first to break the silence so why not with this? Nothing better than a guitar with a story, and few things more beautiful than a Jazzmaster full stop. Picture taken from a story here.

Stolen from a thread on the other place. I thought it was very interesting. How do you feel about cyberpunk compared to paranormal 30s New York as a theme?

I was waiting for the original poster to repost it here, but if they aren't then I will since this photo definitely belongs here.
