"Valve’s in-development moba Deadlock picked up a couple new non-game features in an update this week, all of which are intended to make the experience of play among a larger population much better. The major first update is a low priority queue, which will place players in a secondary queue that’s less likely to match. Players can be placed in low priority by abandoning games or for bad behavior, and will have to complete a certain number of full games in order to return to normal matchmaking.
Players can also now lose access to certain capabilities in-game as punishments, such as matchmaking, voice and text chat, pausing, and even reporting other players for abuse.
It’s a nice step forward, and an inevitable one, in what will probably be one of the highest-profile open development cycles since Valorant’s late 2019 and early 2020 betas. They’ll need that pretty quick, to be honest—they’ve already got cheaters messing around in there which is honestly pretty sad for the cheaters. It’s not even a finished game.
Deadlock has certainly been the subject of much discussion here at PC Gamer, with Morgan Park letting us all know that even if it has guns it’s probably not a shooter and Justin Wagner ignoring him completely in order to go and play more deadlock.
“Deadlock gives me the same feeling Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 did before they consumed my life,” said Wagner.
“Deadlock is an iteration on the MOBA, but it’s not an incremental one. While so many games have come and gone angling to “reinvent” the genre by shifting the camera angle or tweaking a few mechanics, this game is so stuffed with new ideas it’s difficult to appraise just how much depth it all lends,” he continued.
Either way, everyone can agree on who the best gargoyle in Deadlock is."
Counterfeit products are the main reason I’d ever shop ali
LEDs are fucking annoying
They let him use the app to do so. This is needlessly pedantic
If we’re being paranoid about hackers gaining access to your webcam, why would you assume they couldn’t also reenable your drivers
I like wireless for my laptop, but I’ve never understood the point on my desktop. It’s never going beyond the cable’s length, and the cable has never gotten in the way unless I’m doing extreme motions with a very low sensitivity. And in that case, I am playing competitive fps.
I prefer yanking the cord out while furmark, prime95 and a full delete 0 write on the spinning disks is going.
My mom built computers in the '90s and '00s, she taught me how to use the command prompt to play my dos games. now she can barely use one. I don’t know what the hell happened.
It’s simple enough to just cover a camera. I’d be far more worried about the always listening microphones.
I’ve been helping my parents renovate their house recently, and I’m trying to get them to understand this. Just watch a video, it instantly gives you context for commonly agreed upon solutions. You don’t have to reinvent solutions to solved problems.
For example, my mom decided to refinish her cabinets doors. They were painted with one layer of a typical latex house paint you could even still see the original finish in the brush strokes. I sanded the paint and the original varnished finish off the interiors in just a few minutes with an orbital sander.
She decided that because she saw that her aunt use a paint stripper on Facebook, that she should do that. So instead of sanding it down to wood in a few minutes, she’ll coat the doors with stripper, scrape the paint off, clean the caustic paint stripper off, and then sand the varnish/wood at the end anyway. I tried to explain this, and pull up a video showing how messy and overkill the paint strippers were, and she got mad that I played a video.
Meanwhile, my step dad was helping me install quarter round over their baseboards, I showed him 3 options to finish the ends. A simple 90° cut, a standard 45° bevel, and another mitre with a tiny triangle to round over the end. I explained that the mitre looks the nicest, but it takes twice as long to do.
He proceeded to freehand two bevels for half an hour with a dull chipped chisel. They were completely uneven and jagged. Then I explained he had to repeat that work 18 more times in the hallway alone, assuming he was happy with his… handiwork.
They have been trying to finish renovating this house for 20 years. Now I see why it is taking so long.
No. If you stop losing weight on a caloric deficit, you miscalculated the deficit. It’s a thermodynamic certainty. When people hit a long term plateau on a CICO diet, it’s because they either failed to adjust their total daily calorie expenditures for their new weight, or most likely they’re cheating on their calorie counts.
No. Inflation is a general increase in price/decrease in buying power per dollar. This is specifically about one class of item increasing in cost to absorb a government subsidy, especially when that subsidy was meant to alleviate a cost to the citizen.
Watched the same thing happen on a smaller scale back when analog TV broadcasting was phased out and we got vouchers for digital TV tuners in America. They all cost around $25 or less. As soon as the vouchers were given out, the prices doubled to $50
Surely this is a well studied phenomenon with a name, right?
Only because wages across the board are in the dumpster. If the kitchen guys were making $30/hr instead of $10/he they’d be complaining the other way
No. I already sort by all, and new is generally too low quality and frankly still too slow. I also switch to all on Reddit once I’ve skimmed over the first couple pages of my feed
Yep. Weirdly, I didn’t do any work to populate reddit either. It’s almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.
Piccolo is badass, and clearly he’s black.
