  • To combat the ramble-y-ness of your posts you should try to add more paragraphs. That makes it easier for your readers to take a short pause while reading.

    For the topic at hand, I basically don’t play any multiplayer games precisely because it is too much work to keep up with the current meta. It seems to me that often enough what the game teaches you in the tutorial is not what you have to do in the real thing to succeed.

    Add to that that many people don’t even pay attention to the good things of tutorials and you get a horde of brainless people just doing the bare minimum to pass by.

    As to why they play ranked, at least to me ranked play comes with the promise of match making. That you get paired up with players of a similar skill. In theory that should give you a 50% win rate. I’d play ranked exactly so that I get lumped in with players who are as bad as me.




  • I think the easiest is to get the thing onto some device. Pick something that annoys you and make it work better. There are so many parts to this it’s hard to recommend one. You have low level device drivers, the user interface in the form of DEs, or the apps themselves, either making the desktop apps work better or creating mobile ones.

    You can also pick one of these things, find the related bugtracker and try to fix some easy looking bugs.






  • I’m playing Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and am desperately waiting for the story to get interesting. It is an extremely slow burn. And with some fake outs I kind of lose hope of it ever getting interesting.

    And I kinda hate the dialogue system. You can basically move around while talking and look at stuff and sometimes have a limited amount of time to chime in. Which is fine from a realism standpoint but somehow it doesn’t make the dialogue feel more realistic. Pair that up with some dialogue choices requiring you to be standing on certain spots and looking at certain things makes it much too stressful for a game that should be more like a relaxing point and click adventure.
