π§΅Once in a lifetime sappy post from me but I found myself crying a little bit in my room (in a stoic and manly way of course).
There's just so much fucking love at LAN man.
@CasterGems If they make that lovecraftian horror of a game digital I'm on genuine suicide watch man we had such a good thing going before some executive heard that charizards were being listed for a lot on eBay
@taroviolett Imagine the world where some exec hadn't seen that charizards are expensive and instead they just put a hearthsteed-esque crossover into league to advertise the best card game ever made
@EdzardErnst Hello Dr Ernst, could you please follow me so that I can DM you a question about something regarding your website, unfortunately the contact form seems to not be working for me, thank you
@MiddlecottIsMe Lets go Peter! (btw Peter is Doublelift, I just call him by his first name because we are tight like that. Yeah I know top players, not a big deal to me lol)
@atrocityTCG People who never played LoR telling you they're the same game like yeah man try telling your boy that it's okay his mum died because she has a separated at birth long lost twin sister so they're totally the same
they really nailed the sense of dread and horror with the Fiddlesticks cards by making them have no flavor text or sound effects. it's like hearing the voice of a departed loved one and thinking about how much youve missed them and then suddenly realizing its a dead person moving
@stick_twt Not sure how much the smaller RFID would cost tho, and ofc the cost of 4 receivers per setup instead of 1, but at the very least it eliminates the room for confusion from the players if the experience doesn't change for them (just sit down and plug in like normal)
@stick_twt Insane work, truly generational. For the RFID, maybe this is way too expensive/impractical, but recently I floated the idea of having readers on top of each Wii port, and giving players some kind of "sheathe" that slots over their plug, so one can detect what port they're in
betamax and vcr killed porno theaters
home consoles killed arcades
rollback netcode killed fighting game locals
human nature over time will always magnetize toward cold, homebound, solitary goons, even if goons shared with a community undoubtedly enrich the soul
Orgs cannot exist or make money, because the whole industry is built on someone else's IP. They have no control over the future of their business. Also, licensing fees for events. If there was ever a spare penny around, devs would simply up the fee to maximise their profit
The long and short of it is, the reason the NLC weren't paying people is because there wasn't any money, and there can't ever actually be any money. Esports isn't actually as big as the echo chamber would have you believe 1/2
