    Summer Olympics 2021

    They're under new initials because Russia is banned because they're cheaters. Can't even have their flag or open representation of their country. It's pretty pathetic, really. One of their hula hoop gymnasts lost to a girl from Israel. She started crying, refused to congratulate the winner, and...

    Non-affiliated group of sanctioned cheaters?

    To be fair, they're sorta half banned due to chronic doping scandals. Again/still.

    The Ascent

    Clunky, but gets fun after you start getting other abilities and the weapons with homing bullets that remove most of the aiming quirks. Lots of small facepalm/wtf stuff but game is still fun and worth trying out.

    The Ascent

    Approach a chest. Hit x to open; doesn't. Hit x to open again; doesn't. Must be a hold x chest. Hold x to open...processing please wait; locked. Hold y to hack; success. Hold x to open -- too soon for the chest to register as hacked so you reload you weapon instead. Hold x again.... processing...

    Summer Olympics 2021

    Some kind of country based mma would be awesome, but never happen. Dana White should just do it. We can't get discipline-based tournaments anymore like the early days, but some kind of bracketed country based UFC thing would be popular.

    Holy shit the dude gets eliminated for being too good. Meanwhile ratings are plummetting especially with younger demographics!? Can't explain that.

    Summer Olympics 2021

    I think it would be cool to have a retro he's where people have to use equipment and conditions that are accurate to various times. Modern athletes would still dominate relatively, but would be interesting.

    Summer Olympics 2021

    It does matter. At least the foreign athletes come here legally and declare their status and allegiance to their home countries. So, maybe you're right, legal foreign athletes living and working in the USA aren't the problem.

    Let the racist Democrats sort them out, obviously. Same way they decide which demographics get bonus points on SATs and who is inherently privileged based on a quick glance at skin tone. Yeah the big hangup would be all the genetically diverse African tribal teams. lol

    Not sure if that many of our athletes do that since Colorado Springs has an Olympic training center for high elevation. Unless you're talking about training in space or something.

    Summer Olympics 2021

    The Olympics were better when nationality was a better predictor of ethnicity. Was neat when you'd occasionally have an Asian American ice skater or black British runner. But now, having our or France's track team be 90% black.... meh. Should just make them racial/ethnic Olympics these days to...

    The Ascent

    Got stuck on both of these for this reason. Worse than just not telling you they're locked is both bugged waypoints for other quests when I tried to switch. So I then ran to waypoints for the side quests I couldn't do, then ran to main quests waypoints that were wrong and only recalculated...

    The Ascent

    Janky as shit even with a controller. It is known. I noticed little difference with aim assist settings. At best less aim assist actually made the controls a bit easier because it was less of the game pulling you aim through those sticky/dead spots. Why on earth does this game even have aim...

    The Ascent

    I'm making fun of you for coming in hot about how great you are in a game nobody thinks is too hard. No aim assist? Fuckin-A man, please impregnate my wife! Meanwhile, there are documented sticky/dead spots that you may not notice because you're fuckin awesome, but seem to persist even after...

    The Ascent

    Pretty sure the stuttering is actually because boomers didn't get good. Also, the half hour I spent last night chasing down a bugged side-quest waypoint that said level 15 but sent me through level 20+ npcs and then after dying repeatedly and sending me to load points at places I'd never been I...

    Anyone still playing? Patched to greatness yet?

    The Ascent

    Testing it some. Run in circles slow enough and you can see the direction reticle actually glitch back a little when you pass up/down/left/right positions. And running in a circle your character will actually start to run straight at these points for a second. What has to get fucked up to...

    One of the sprints I hear my girlfriend make a disgusted ohmygawd and I go in to see thinking someone tripped and face planted. Nah. Slo-mo zoom of some black dude's dick flopping off his thighs like a windshield wiper blade. And she's like "how is this more okay than shots of chicks butts who...

    Disappointed Japan Olympics doesn't have a dedicated under water cam for women's water polo. C'mon pervs! Also, hilarious how NBC kept hyping how they were trying to desexualize women's sports coverage to the point some camera angles are just weird and unhelpful to see the action... Meanwhile...

    The Ascent

    I think this is what I noticed and tried to describe. Found I could aim decently on the move diagonally, but any straight up/down/left/right felt like the game was pulling my aim around, snapping/lagging, not precise, etc. Tried to change aim assist and didn't change the effect much, but made...

    The Ascent

    Right stick aiming is janky and weird. Thought it was just me being retarded, but started to really look at it. Found there seems to be dead spots of sorts at each straight position of the stick. So, like, if I slowly spin the right aim it snaps to up as it gets close, then sticks there, then...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Queer womxn racial equity and gender justice stories. And when people even question it they'll be accused of toxic masculinity and racist nerd rage! You see, Tolkien was a trailblazer for all the state-sponsored social justice causes all along, you were just too busy being a bigot to notice.

    Yeah. She's actually quite the jogger for someone so large. Has actual talent and work-ethic, but then still manages to fuck it all up and tarnish what little good will and support she earned.
  26. popsicledeath

    The Ascent

    Yeah, as mentioned, I mistook it based on the controller mapping description of raise weapon and the fact 90% of shooting related games use that as some sort of aim/target and pressing it when our character is standing just looks like aiming. Then only later with one of many inexplicably slow...

    The Ascent

    Getting used to controller controls, but was hoping for a couch co-op game to play with my girlfriend and she'll never be able to manage this. Also, I kept dying on the first set of mobs. Like aiming right at them and would miss. Strange, because I had looked up controller mapping and was...

    The Ascent

    Disappointed in this game. Looked fun and was hoping for a futuristic shooting Diablo, but the twin stick shooting is just not fun on Xbox. I admit I'm not great with thumbsticks, but this just felt spastic and a struggle. Character creation and graphics seemed a bit lackluster, so thought...

    No matter what, the media sycophants would celebrate her as a super hero. That's not really in question. For me, though, after years of bullshit media spin and narratives and lies I try to avoid getting caught up in the hysteria and outrage in either direction and don't mind giving people some...

    Yeah, if she just owned it and said she has ADHD and was off her meds then everyone would rally behind her for a 100% win and not just accuse her of doping and asterisks on her career. I believe it!

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The actual damage, as always, will come from the quiet, regular white guys who just want to be left alone and are sick of the drama. They'll just quietly stop playing WoW and/or move on from working at Blizzard, etc. Of course, the outrage brigade on the outside will see whatever damage caused...

I mean, even things like fucking TV shows have tended to be a...
