I saw someone on reddit complain about linking to a tweet because Twitter is a right-wing shithole, and someone replied "And reddit isn't?"

But then someone replied to that with "Seriously? Right-wingers don't plague Reddit."

Ahahahahaha users have negative self awareness

Taking a quick look at the video (everything except actually watching it), the idea seems fine, CoD WWII really isn't a very good campaign and it seems like a fair comparison to make

Like, it's not like WaW isn't heroic, but it does focus more on the horrors of war than most other CoD games, and is a pretty big contrast from WWII which barely focuses on that at all and is full of goofy over-the-top action setpieces

I'd need to watch it to know (so I could be wrong), but it probably isn't about Soviets vs Americans either since WaW's American campaign isn't much different in tone from its Soviet campaign

I don't think World at War's some masterpiece like it's often made out to be, but it at least feels like it's got relatively a consistent tone

A similar PC capable of 4k60 is more than double the price of the ps5 pro.

I think that would depend on what you consider as "capable of 4K60", because the PS5 Pro will almost certainly be far less capable of that than a build that's double the price, especially since games that are already CPU-bound aren't going to get much better framerates if at all

Yeah, I really don't think an RX 6600 build would outperform the PS5 Pro at all, that doesn't line up with what I've heard at all

From what I've heard, an RX 7700 XT build might be pretty close though, and a basic build with one of those and a 5600 would be not that much more than a PS5 Pro, which does definitely go to show how crap the PS5 Pro price is (especially since that CPU is probably better than the one in the PS5 Pro)

The regular PS5 isn't going anywhere, and you still won't be able to build an equivalent PC for near the same price as that, but the Pro is so much more expensive for relatively little gain that the price gap for that is pretty small, and on PC you'd get a better CPU too

This costs nearly $1000 here in Canada (more after the disc drive and stand and tax), Sony's gone fuckin' nuts with the price on this thing

The MI6 and CIA would know, they're the threat!

I can't really say SBMM is an overall esports problem because fighting games and MOBAs are also esports and usually people over there are pretty positive on SBMM from what I've seen

Usually the people complaining about SBMM are the FPS content creators who want it gone because they profit from being able to constantly stomp people worse than them for entertainment, often those content creators don't even play in esports tournaments because then they'd have to fight fair lol

Man I'm sick of the phrase "optimizing the fun out of it all", it's so often flung around just to attack the entire concept of a game having advanced techniques and a high skill ceiling, even if the people executing said advanced techniques and playing high-level are having fun doing so, because people enjoy improving at stuff, you know? There can be a discussion about whether a game's designed well enough that high-level play is fun to play, but that's never what happens, it's just people complaining endlessly about "tryhards" because people are playing competitively in a competitive game

His claim of "this is how online pvp games die" isn't really based on anything, and he even says this is happening to Deadlock which is really funny considering its numbers just keep going up and the game has been getting loads of praise

The whole "the game isn't even released yet!" thing is always especially funny because like, if you really think that this stuff is a problem, surely you'd want the devs to be aware of that as soon as possible so they can fix it before the game fully releases? Closed alphas don't exist just so you can have fun, the point is to playtest the game

There's also already a solution for the stated problem of "tryhards playing too good making it impossible for casuals to play", it's called SBMM, but usually the people who complain about stuff like this hate SBMM too for silly reasons

Also, I took a look at that guy's profile and he constantly makes racist posts and calls people slurs, typical gaming YouTuber lmao

The literal only argument here is just "I don't have to use a bunch of Google tabs anymore because ChatGPT can lie to me all in one place!!" lmao

Like, the only way this works is if ChatGPT is literally always correct at all times (which will never be the case fundamentally), because otherwise it's even worse than the existing process of just using Google because it's just another step before you end up needing to do that anyway

This isn't even one of those "oh in the made-up future where ChatGPT is magically perfect, this will be useful, therefore we should support AI-bros right now so we can get there" types of things, this is just assuming that ChatGPT in its current form is somehow a good research tool which is just about the opposite of the case
