The US president has accused Iran of extending the conflict to hurt him politically, claiming recently that the war would end “immediately” after the election.
How dare Iran extend the conflict by continuing to exist in the same place!
Meanwhile, Iran has said they would absolutely negotiate with the USA, as soon as the baboon-in-chief is out of office, and replaced by someone who is actually able to do what they promise.
The face would be better, but I’m only a short girl.
Personally, I’m downvoting you because you’re posting the same I’m different formats and it’s annoying. Learn how to Lemmy please.
Other genres have similar games in a crowded competition and still sell well, even if they are not very special different.
Other genres are different. These always-online pvp games have massive player buy-in. For something like Call of Duty, or StarCraft, there comes a point where most players will be mostly done with the game and are looking for something new. These games are constantly updating, releasing new content, and work incredibly hard to keep players locked in.
So, if you want to take market share in the newest soccer game, all you need to do is gather up the available players with something new, because they’re already looking. To get market share in this genre, you need to actively pry players away from their current game.
So even if you’re a bit better, you still need to beat the attachment players have to the other game, where they have a hundred levels, 62 special skins and 300 achievements. If your game is just as good, but people have no attachment, you’re going to lose.
And Concord was not remotely as good.
Well, so far, they’re both exactly as released.
I remember the last time Blizzard announced a really cool StarCraft shooter. Anyone else play StarCraft Ghost? No? Yeah, exactly.
You know, I have a PhD in chemistry. I started off trying to explain what “floofier” means in ELI5, but honestly, I can’t. Not without writing several pages, diving deeper and deeper.
In this case, it is the nephelauxetic effect, which literally translates to “cloud expanding”. But that’s not an accurate translation either, because it’s only a very specific bit of the electron cloud for a specific ion in a specific spot in a molecule.
There are at least half a dozen ways to make an ion “floofier” that don’t apply here and/or wouldn’t be paper worthy at all.
He’s just operationalizing his vocabulary.
It’s not that hard to understand, really.
it’s yet another hero in an ocean of hero shooters, with pretty much no unique points.
the gameplay Is pretty much a worse Overwatch, with half the skills ripped directly from Destiny.
it’s a worse Overwatch, except Overwatch is free and concord was 40 bucks
the character design was crap. Half of them are basically shapeless blobs that look the same with a badly done colour swap. And the aesthetic was all over the place.
The advertising campaign was terrible. It took 8 years to make, but they kept quiet pretty much till 6 weeks before release.
a shitload of money went into full mocap videos to form some sort of “Concord Universe”, but it wasn’t actually interesting at all, because nobody knew shit about Concord. That sort of thing should be a second step, not a first step.
small side note, but look up the terrible character sign combining so absolutely horribly with the mocop videos. It’s amazing how nobody realized these blobs don’t animate well.
So, it cost more, did less, was extremely derivative and had pretty much nothing going for it. It was bland and mediocre, but came with 400 million dollars of expectations.
Nobody said they didn’t matter. If anything, the covid deaths don’t seem to matter in the US, because basically nothing happened.
Makes it easier to share, like this.
Or lack thereof
Small 2 stroke engines create more particulate and nitrogen pollution than big excavators and bulldozers.
Not relatively, per unit. A leaf blower or moped is worse than a 20 ton caterpillar.
Well, that’s good to know!
Jabba is actually much bigger?
This doesn’t show her strangling Jabba with that chain?
This is kind of insulting to all Hutt?
Needs a green curve to show that you need to turn a corner in the distance.
I always buy screws in millimeters in europe. Pipes are occasionally in inches, depending what kind of pipe.
I love trying new recipes, and I absolutely hate when it’s a US recipe, and it’ll include such wonderful measurements as “1 cup, 2 spoons” or “1.5 packed cups”.
In that case, Imperial, if the chart is to be believed.
Did a PhD on AI.
Uses terms like “know better”.
