Reply to Why do first-person shooter players complain about Skill-Based Matchmaking? by [deleted]

I don't know. I've always found SBMM inconsistent. Sometimes it feels like I'm with players on my level, not a bad game. Every one is fairly balanced. Most people having a good time. The games end close.

Then there are times when one team completely dominates and it feels completely unfair. Like pros vs a team of people using their tongue to play the game bad. Even when it's my team doing the dominating it doesn't feel great.

Definitely still needs tweaking.

Reply to Are simulators (PC Building, Car fixing) good to learn its basics? by dimtril

I'm honestly surprised how accurate some simulators can be. Not saying you could make a career choice based on how well you do one but you can for sure learn some basics in things like Power Washing Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Lawn Mower Simulator, most farming sims, and yes the PC building sim is not bad. I think I remember watching Linus Tech Tips play it and he was pretty impressed. Not 100% but good enough to get the idea.

Goat Simulator can teach how to be a goat and I love that lol (that was a joke but you get the point)

Edit: not necessarily a sim but there is a gun disassembly game I played once and that taught me a lot about stripping and field stripping weapons. I've forgotten most of it but enough to know the basics.

It's funny. I'm scrolling through Reddit while watching FritangaPlays talk about the merger and I see this post. Was half expecting some salt but this is a reasonable take. Sony should focus on all those shelved 1st party titles they have. I would love a new Gravity Rush or Sly Cooper, LBP, hell even a better Knack (second one was pretty fun if I remember right).

I have both consoles so I don't care at this point but it is nuts to see Jim Ryan trying so hard to keep CoD when they have so many other titles that aren't on Xbox and some that will never come to PC (losing hope about Bloodborne, RIP). It's like he doesn't have trust in his brand or something which is not a good look for a CEO.

Oh well. Makes for some good content.

Fair enough though FFXIV is pretty great. ESO is fine, Phantasy Star Online is also good but I guess that is more weeaboo stuff lol

As far as consoles there aren't really an array of options. DC Universe Online maybe. Neverwinter. Path of Exile is a Diablo-like game but console controls are pretty trash tbh.

I'm not big into MMOs and took a break from ESO a while back as well. I returned (started a new character) and it seems pretty easy to get back into. Just if you want to do the main game and expansions in order it requires a bit of research. It's not really a direct line and it depends on your alliance. I recommend it though if you like Elder Scrolls and MMOs.

This could be a thing. Warner Brothers did do that TMNT/Batman crossover movie. It's not a far stretch for them to get some Lantern Corps rings. Do you think Splinter would have the yellow ring or perhaps he'd manage to get his hands on the orange one and it becomes like a TMNT?Lantern rogues-gallery showdown to get the one orange ring?
