It’s a shame more non-blizzard companies didn’t try out some of the mechanics of HoTS. It’s the only MOBA I played and actually enjoyed. My favorite part was that there was no item shop to overcomplicate matchups and expected stats.
Whenever I see a conversation along the lines of “what episode should I show my friend/partner/etc. to get them hooked on Star Trek,” the suggestions are pretty predictable - your “best” episodes that are regarded to represent the franchise at its peak....
I don’t know why so many people in the fediverse consider Element a competitor to Discord. I regularly use Element, but the non-text functionality just isn’t ready to point people at as an alternative. They will have a bad time and write off Element potentially forever if they are shown that app as an alternative right now.
Some examples of functionality that is important to discord but is not a good experience or is not ready in element yet: voice/video channels, screen sharing, custom emotes and reactions, channel organization and browsing (their latest attempt just doesn’t do it for me).
Additionally, there are times when encryption just has a hiccup still or someone sets it up wrong and things can be messy because of it.
I really like element and they’ve done a good job so far, but It’s just not ready for people to be pushed there from discord.
Canada-based studio Relic Entertainment, which recently released Company of Heroes 3, did receive some good news in the midst of these layoffs. The company announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it is becoming an independent studio thanks to the help of “an external investor” who went unnamed.
I was being genuine since the comment read to me like it could have had some tongue in cheek, didn’t mean to cause any harm and did not mean to have these kinds of votes attached, sorry.
I’ve really been enjoying watching Northernlion figure out this game. Glad it’s out so I don’t have to watch runs based on the same 4 jokers and 3 decks anymore!
You know when you want to play a game, but you just can’t find the time to play it. Well that was my long running excuse on why I haven’t played Crash 2 after all these years. But I finally found some time, so here is what I thought of the game....
Hopoo, the original devs, were already making this and got to finish working on it after the purchase. It adds new content and refines the gameplay of the original (movement feels better and the game just generally plays better) - it was also designed with modding in mind.
I don’t play COD all that much, but I was one of the crowd who made my purchase of MWII in part because it was supposedly going to stick around for 2 years. I feel slighted that they had nearly complete versions of nostalgic maps in Warzone only to never release them in regular multiplayer and instead hold them for MWIII. I refuse to support this bait by spending on COD any further.
What I mean is… sometimes people are very loyal to a videogame franchise or a company because they loved a game they released years ago (Silent Hill/Konami with Silent Hill 2, Blizzard/Bethesda with their respective golden eras, some could argue this happens too with Pokémon and Final Fantasy, etc). Ethical/consumer reasons...

Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest Monsters come to mind. Both have some edgy designs. Yes, Digimon has some as well.
Not that I even should have spent the time typing this, you’re just being rude so it’s hard to tell if you’re even making a good faith argument. What do you even mean by “Pokemon but with constant crying”?
