How is this news, when it's expected?

One thing about the sequel lightsaber battles is that the lightsabers bounce way too much off eachother. That was clear as day when Rey first fought Kylo Ren in that snowy forest.

I agree with the sentiment that people should shut up already about the launcher thing. I know it's aggravating, but, there's options.

However when it comes between Steam vs Epic as storefronts, you'd be hard-pressed to try and find anything to like about what Epic has done with their launcher vs the years of hard work and labor for Valve to get Steam to where it is today. Epic's launcher is like where Steam's was - 17 years ago. It's noticeable, you can't hide it.

Let me know when the last time it was that Steam tried locking in exclusivity deals with games. I'll wait.

The sequels would've fared better if they didn't have underlying tones of trying to appeal to minorities. They should've just been made with the same old flash and flare of the movies and shows before it and nobody would've complained as much. The only reason they've been shit on is because all of them starred a Mary Sue character and people noticed how woke the movies were trying to be.

Oh and Darth Vader is stupidly overrated. There are Sith who I can argue, who can wipe the floor with him.

Samsung Galaxy A02s. This thing feels like it isn't that old, but damn sure operates like it's old. Thing lags like a slug to where I've had performance lag in keyboard interfaces to even recording audio clips on Discord. It's battery life is shitting the bed, even at 100%, it is down to 94% immediately even when it's not used.

Samsung Galaxy A32-5G. This is my primary and I like it, still does fine and was worthy to slap an Otterbox protection case on it. Does what I need it to do and is reliable, it's roughly 3 years old.

If it can't be helped. Like, I wish a lot of shit was settled without law enforcement because things become more complicated once they get involved. And sometimes a lot of money just to get the justice system to do shit. With the off-chance that nothing will be done at all.

I've only ever had to call the cops on two occasions and that's to deal with a noisy tenant, simply because my apartment management are a bunch of lazy assholes who simply refuse to evict people who have broken lease agreements multiple times.

My record with cop encounters has been fairly positive to date, too and I'd rather keep it that way.

Simple, I don't get knee deep into politics and whatever everyone else is doom scrolling on.

Thank christ, someone understands. If you tried saying anything similar to what you've said in most Rocket League communities, main or self-created, you got put on blast.

Nobody should ever have their fun dampened because someone doesn't want to be a team player or intentionally grief or throw matches. I entirely understand it in Competition/Ranked, but I'll never agree with how Casual Mode is handled. Psyonix is just asking people to try and stop playing or even supporting their game through MTX.

Is the admin Spez by any chance?

 

Every time I get a snarky, rude and shitty response from a user. 9 times out of 10 it is from users with hundreds to thousands of pointless karma points. My best guess is that it has really all gone to their heads and because of their high count, they think they're speaking the golden words of the gospel with every comment that they make.

That nothing can touch them and that they're validated so they can't be argued against.

 

My pick is Psyonix, the team behind the one and only Rocket League.

And why they're my pick is because they've been prioritizing elitist gamers over generally everyone of all skill levels. This is evident when you are penalized for leaving matches in Casual Mode that escalates from 5 minutes to even hours. Basically limiting and restricting your playtime on a game people had once paid for.

And I say once paid for because this game once had a price tag along with DLCs. Sometime a few years ago, Psyonix sold itself to Epic Games and flipped Rocket League to Free-to-Play or Freemium. They delisted the game from Steam and unless you had been accumulating anything before the delisting, you are SOL.

In the Epic Games version of Rocket League, you have to build back up everything that was once readily available when it was on Steam. Having to pick up common body parts, having to pick up decals, flags, wheels .etc

All of these are just one continual dump after another from Psyonix on the fans that truly are there to have a fun time and not be a foaming drooling tryhard of an elitist player.
