So one of the guys I play Overwatch, one of my brother's coworker, is solidly a bronze player. His game sense is okay (or at least improving), but he doesn't have the mechanics to move out of bronze. When he solo queues and I join the game (either just to spectate or actually filling), it makes me cringe at some of what I see. When I fill, I'll almost invariably carry the team.
And I'm a pretty average player, maybe even slightly below average, but as a low to mid gold player, I'm just that much better than basically everyone else in the match that it completely swings it.

Q: Borderlands 3 crashing startup July 2020 update

IkariI've been getting this the past few times I started Borderlands 3. It shows the logo screens, it says "Optimizing Shaders" then this appears and it closes. I've tried restarting my computer (this time it wouldn't restart even when I left it on overnight. I had to hold the power button). Admittedl...

@MBraedley Yeah that's not surprising. Bottom tier is usually really bad in games like this.
And there's often fairly large skill gaps between tiers, too.
 
2:16 AM
I've got friends who play at plat/diamond level and they don't hard carry in our otherwise silver/gold group. Or at least it doesn't seem like it.
 
@MBraedley this is why I never got into Overwatch. I am probably that player :P
 
I should see if I have the replay of the match that prompted the rant.

Q: How to destroy a block and give you an item in your inventory at the same time. Minecraft bedrock edition

FerretSo me and my friend are creating a mario-like game in minecraft bedrock edition. We are struggling with trying to come up with code. What we need is so if the player is standing on a red mushroom it breaks the mushroom and gives the player an item. The problem is that we need to have both things ...

Q: Why did my train choose the blocked path at the junction?

FluxI am new to train signals. This is the situation I don't understand: There are three signals. The signal at the entry of the Y-junction (on the bottom right) is an entry signal. The other two signals are exit signals. There are two possible paths for the train. One path is blocked by a crashed t...

@Ave save icons, basically.
@TrentHawkins While that's still annoying, at least many "missables" in rpg have at least some sort of "plot" reason. Destroyed cities, places that you can't get back to and so on.
Nintendo missables usually aren't even related to plot reason.
Take WW photo/figurine subquest. It is obvious that you have to get a picture of the Big Octos before you make them extinct.... but why does Kogoli the Rito just vanish to be never seen again after you play Earth God's Lyric to Medli? And why Knuckles figurine (that already is hidden behind a GBA paywall in the original) can't be made if you already made all the others?
Please notice that even in the remake while you can now get Knuckles figurine at any time.... Kogoli still disappears with no reason. So, they fixed the "bug" with Knuckles (since his figure wasn't required to "complete" the gallery, and after you complete the gallery the npc doesn't offer you the ability to make figurine anymore, getting all the other figurine before making Knuckles one prevented you from ever being able to get it) but they left the Kogoli "too bad for you" thing.
In that way, you could say that the Kogoli dastardly disappearance is intentional to ruin your 100% completion attempt.

Q: What does 4X, 5X, 6X VALUE! mean in Special Offers in CoC?

YCF_LIn clash of clans, there are some special offers, with 4X, 5X, 6X VALUE! in top as you can see in the picture. Does this mean for example if we took Builder Potion we can gain 6 x 5 hours which mean 30 hours instead of just 6 hours? or what does mean exactly.

Apparently Nintendo is doing a collaboration event with Sou (a Japanese clothing brand) to add replicas of some of the brand yukata into Animal Crossing Pocket Camp.
You would think that since this is an advertisement-style event they would sell them for LESS than the usual "micro" transaction items. Nope, apparently they cost more.
You have to pay for the brand, even if it is digital items.
What's next? Gucci handbags as buyable items... in Fortnite???
 
12:23 PM
@MBraedley It launched!
 
@Unionhawk That's very surprising
Then again it's on gamepass, so they probably don't care
 
@Wipqozn I really should care more about Game Pass, but I got like 600 games I want to play
so it feels weird to throw another 100 or so from Game Pass on top of that
 
I almost want to get it on steam now if I decide to upgrade but that'd be 300 GB total download for certain instead of probably just 150 and eh
Multiple launchers doesn't concern me a whole lot
 
12:43 PM
@Wipqozn I saw the livestream of the launch. TMI burn is happening now.
 
Star Citizen's Squadron 42 progress isn't being communicated and fans want an updated roadmap. Here's how they respond:
> While it’s not quite ready, it’s currently top priority on the web team’s current projects. In the immediate future, we plan to deliver the following communications:

Give an explanation of the goals of our new Roadmap and what to expect from it
Show a rough mockup of the proposed new Roadmap
Share a work in progress version of the Roadmap for at least one of our core teams
And then finally transition to this new Roadmap
That's right... Star Citizen is so bad at releasing things that they first need to release a statement that they'll have a roadmap with a promise to eventually get a rough mockup of a roadmap followed maybe someday by an actual roadmap
 
They're roadmapping the roadmap
 
@Wipqozn what launched?
@Elva Can't they just create a trello board?
 
Also I've been informed that some review footage out now is pretty funny to watch, IGN overspeeding an A320 and landing it pretty hard (like literally the radioaltimer called out "50", and then they were instantly on ground (normally it calls out "50..40..30..20..10"))
 
@Nzall They're gonna need a meeting to make a trelloboard to manage the roadmap of the roadmap
 
12:49 PM
November 2014. AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahaha
Ah, that's a good one. Whew
 
I've basically given up on playing the final game
 
@Unionhawk Big Rigs: Planes Edition? Can you drive the plane in reverse?
 
@Derpy I mean yes but not in the air
 
@Unionhawk What a shame, I was hoping for infinite acceleration while driving in reverse mode like in Big Rigs.
 
@Unionhawk Have any reviewers crashed into a landmark yet?
 
12:57 PM
Idk probably
I have seen a screenshot of the "YOU CRASHED" screen
So someone definitely crashed on something

3:31 PM
lol I just actually watched that IGN landing and it's honestly really funny
lands on the grass between the runway and taxiway and starts drifting to the right "Airbus 320 contact ground 127.9"
 
Okay, the people over at the Schlock Mercenary webcomic subreddit have recommended around 18 new webcomics I can browse

I love that comic

@PrivatePansy The first one was pretty good although newer games have rendered it almost completely non-canon.
It's possible that I'm recalling it through rose-colored lenses.

8:21 PM
One of the criticisms of Halo 4 and 5 was that the story in the games depends too much on characters and lore introduced in random books and never previously mentioned in the games.
Of course, this time the story revolves around a protagonist almost exclusively featured in Halo Wars 2, which surely every fan of the main line halo games will have played.
 
8:36 PM
Antagonist?
As far as I know, the only non-enemy (other than Master Chief of course) shown so far is the pilot guy, who hasn't been in any other Halo media.

Oh man, this RS Archer thing is getting more and more absurd by the minute
A direct quote from the Brexiteer father when he's drunk:

@Yuuki Right, yes, antagonist
