I don't have a settled three since I'm still working through all the heroes and finding my favourites. And I'm not that great at the game so don't want to tell people how to play. But I do prefer a couple of heroes.

Paradox is probably my favourite to play. The burst fire weapon helps me last hit, which is nice, and both the grenade and the charged shot are very powerful laning abilities. She has some insane combos you can pull off, and setting up kills with the swap is a great feeling late game when you need to initiate team fights.

Shiv with quicksilver reload on his dagger and extra charges is just a ridiculous hero. Very fun to play and can completely massacre people.

Pocket is the hero I thought I'd like the most when just reading the skill descriptions and looking at the art. Absolutely love the design, and while I need to work on my aim I'm pretty good at juking, which he plays into well. I do struggle a bit in lane with him due to his weapon tempting me to go close range a lot. I'm still mostly ass with him, but hopefully I'll figure it out eventually.

I believe so. Was promised the AG position if I remember right.

0% critics recommend? Damn.

I would be very surprised if Trump honors the agreement. After the election is over RFK will already have served his purpose, and will have no leverage. Trump will claim they never had any deal and RFK will be left holding his dick.

That will be the way to go for sure. Immersion is everything in these games.

Nothing sweeter than imagine "fuck this shit I'm out" playing on loudspeakers all over the world as you board the rocket and look down at the smoking husk of a world you leave behind.

I'm also a Civ V truther. VI never hooked me at all but I still regularly go back to V as a comfort game.

Valve is not a normal company. As far as I know they still have their fluid work structure in place where projects are dictated by what the devs themselves feel like doing and are inspired by.

Icefrog (who was the lead developer of Dota 2 - and Dota 1 for many years before that) is lead developing Deadlock as I understand it. It has his fingerprints all over it, at least. It seems enough other people at Valve liked his idea of a twist on the MOBA concept to turn it into a full project.

I feel your frustration but there isn't really any opportunity cost lost here. It's not that they decided to make "a game" and chose this one out of all available options. If they felt like they had enough ideas to make Half-Life 3 (or any other single player game) then they would have. It's just that this is the game they want to make right now.

Would be silly to ban this because of the implication. There is literally nothing untoward with the submission. It's just an empty room. Anyone who knows what it refers to have already seen the material it references so who exactly are you "protecting"?

Playing Dota 5v5 in-houses were some of my fondest gaming memories. Playing Dota random queue matchmaking were my most miserable times in gaming.

I hate being a downer but this is a MOBA. It's going to be toxic.

 

Not his best comic but there's some good stuff in there as always. The "Fatty" (sorry, body-positivity) Foulkes reference was a great deep cut.^[1]

 

Three weeks into her presidential run was the first time the Biden campaign’s pollsters — now hers — held a deep-dive call with Kamala Harris’ inner circle to discuss what she’s been saying on the stump.

Over the line came a lot of praise, but also some suggested tweaks. First, said veteran Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, “We’re not going back.” It wasn’t focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the “weird” talk — too negative.

Yes, stop using the two approaches that has been most effective. Absolute genius. I can't for the life of me see why the Dems have a reputation of shooting themselves in the foot.

EDIT: Thankfully Kamala trusted her instincts and has had the good sense to ignore said advice so far

 

After the article was published, Rick Wilson personally responded to Donald Trump in a video.

 

Most if not all of these clips were already in the developer deep dive, but this is a shorter more digestible video - without the distraction of voice overs.

It's so cool seeing all these familiar locations in their new visual splendour.

 

Good hunting, Stalker.

 

It's a crazy story of the coaches Rasmus Jonsson and Anders Kristiansson - from Sweden of all places - theorising about ways to innovate the sport, and then scouting young talents to coach this method into from an early age. And years later, their pupils claim the Olympic gold. What a story.

If you want to read more about the new style here is an article about it.

O’Donnell ripped cable news networks for carrying the event live and called it “2016 all over again,” adding that outlets are making the “same mistakes” with their reporting as they did while covering Trump that election cycle.

He also criticized reporters for not asking follow-up questions and knocked networks for fact-checking only after Trump finished speaking.

...

O’Donnell also knocked networks for not covering Vice President Kamala Harris’ Michigan speech live after the Trump presser, noting that his network was doing Olympics coverage before bringing viewers the last few minutes of her remarks.

EDIT: Changed link target to comply with community rules.

 

An absolutely insane display of grit, adrenaline and the power of being pushed by the crowd. I think he's never put up a time below 3:30, and now clocks in at 3:27.65, setting an Olympic record in the process.

 

Let's see if this community still is active.

I'm not sure if it's officially agreed upon, but I would say the release of Doom in '93 properly marked the beginning of a golden age of PC gaming. Modern homogenisation and monetisation hadn't set in yet and over the next decade or so the PC gaming landscape would be full of innovation and passion, with a sea of classics being released in that time frame... but when did it end? Was there a specific watershed game that signalled a shift in the landscape?

This topic has been on my mind for a while, because I've pondered on whether there is an open niche for a community dedicated to games of this era. They're not quite at home in Retro Gaming subs, but still old enough now that they might warrant their own corner separate from main gaming spaces.

 

That was one of the craziest penalty shootouts I've ever seen. Heartbreaking for USA.

 

Vet inte om det anses som ett massivt problem men jag märkte när jag försökte synka mina konton att det inte går att se communities och personer på Feddit.nu från Kbins sida.

Tydligen är problemet något med nginx config och det finns en patch tillgänglig någonstans, men detta är bortom min förståelse så jag bifogar en länk till personen som upplyste mig: https://feddit.nu/comment/290214

 

Jag har läst åsikter åt båda hållen när det gäller vilken approach som är bäst vad gäller Meta's intåg på ActivityPub. Vad tänker Feddit.nu's Admins? Kommer ni federera eller defederera?
