- Comment on Fellow Apex Legends players- how we feeling about the newest season so far? 1 year ago:
During HisWattson’s 14 hour stream on the first day of competitive, he and his team were duplicating armors a lot at the start. By beating a team, killing the dogs and spiders nearby, and then crafting the evo once or twice, they could guarantee a red evo that would then get duped.
You dive off the map, teammate grabs that evo and then dives off map, then both of you get respawned with red evos and even duplicate items (sans attachments, of course).
They actually got dove by a pred team from last season doing this, but since everyone on the team had red evos, HisWattson’s squad beat them. It was actually pretty funny, if a little bonkers.
And since this season incentivizes placing over kills by a significant margin, this isn’t a braindead strategy, though it requires your teammates cooperating and your squad’s speediness in getting that higher level EVO.

Yeah. It’s sad to say but I’ve kind of given up on playing the game on Linux at this point. “Fortunately”, I have to use Windows for WFH so it’s not a huge deal if I want to get some Apex in.

It’s the same weapon, and some armor. It’s actually lead to quite a bit of amusing cheese, where you can duplicate evos using this one simple trick!
Lifeline’s still pretty good if you play aggressively with a team though- she’s great for kind of immediately picking everyone back up for any incoming third parties. I suspect she’ll see more usage again if the new legend isn’t too overpowering a support.
- Comment on Stop using Fandom 1 year ago:
Wikis like Fandom typically make it easy/easier to create and edit pages. Wiki editors are rare and you want to make it as easy for them to latch onto helping and volunteering as is possible.
Maybe a fediverse option isn’t needed (though the below comment’s point about having a central account would make it easier for a lot of users), but having a convenient and easy way to create a wiki for your favorite fandom, without using Fandom would go a long way toward breaking Fandom’s hold over the entertainment sections of the internet.

- Comment on I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to! 1 year ago:
I was using an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller on PC. I don’t know why the right stick didn’t control the camera, if it is supposed to actually work correctly. I guess I must have pressed the wrong button or something. Guess I’ll never know now 🤷
- Comment on Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines 1 year ago:
It probably is legal, and if it isn’t no one has the resources possible to fight against Nintendo. At least, no one who would be interested in taking that fight.
My prediction- someone’s going to try running a major tournament, and we’ll see if Nintendo is serious about policing things then (they probably will be, unfortunately). It does mean that any outside investment coming into Melee will be nil from here on out, so it’s effectively capped the growth of Melee forever.

I don’t even know where to begin on the question of “reining in my personal bias”, other than to note all reviews are based on a person’s personal bias, and what they know about the gaming format and industry as a whole. I know it’s a tired trope, but everyone has personal bias, and game/game demo reviews should not try to be objective looks at games (it’s near useless). Reviewers should instead make their experience and opinions known from the start, or throughout the review. That way if their opinions are diametrically opposed, readers who don’t share the same opinions can readily discount it.
Also, while you can empathize with and realize that someone might like a game if they’re into that genre, you can only go so far. I have not played Vampire Survivors, but if it’s anything like FatalZone, I will gleefully state it’s not really a game. Or if I want to be less glib, not really a game I’d recommend for others. Again, for you this might be a good cue to discard my reviews as worthless for you. You should make your own reviews in this subreddit in that case, as it could certainly use more posts.

Thanks! As someone corrected me, it it “Microcivilization”, my b on the misnaming.

The demo really was an excellent content warning in itself. I hope that’s the actual opening- that way people who buy it and don’t know what they’re getting into can find out real quick, and get their return.

Ah, I only played the first level, I didn’t finish every demo.

I’m just bad at racing games in the first place, so not being able to move my camera with right joystick really messed with my head.

I’ll have to check out Earthless. I’ve been in the mood for single player games recently.

I agree on the annoying timed out demo, I thought the same thing when I missed out on a demo during the last steam next fest. Crazy how even demos are impacted by the ethereal nature of digital storefronts and their sometimes inconsistent access.
It took a lot out of me making time for these demos when I work a full-time job, but I just knew something like that was going to happen if I didn’t get around to them.
