This is so pathetic lmao
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 This was Rob's skitzo book, which as Megan says was part of what unlocked Rob thinking he was DMing the universe
Insane, did not know this
Replying to mtcdood #mtcdood Is it that trippy of a book or do you have to be mentally ill and on coke to react to it that way?
Ive read it before, pretty good book but nothing life changing. Reading into what rob has said about it he was just channeling mania through this book, im going off the line megan said from rob of “other people think slow, i think fast” which is not what the book is about at all. The book covers a lot more than just this, but the fast/slow part is just two modes of thinking we use. The “fast” thinking requires minimal mental effort and you juggle multiple (ie. chewing and walking) where the “slow” thinking requires deliberate effort and you can only do one at a time (ie. reading and doing difficult math).
Honestly i remember more than half the book being about heuristics more than type 1 and type 2 thoughts

I would not call Rivals a tf2 clone
Do people consider tf2 a hero shooter?
I can kind of see it both ways
I think classic tf2 before loadouts you could argue
I think a hero shooter has a defining trait that when you see an enemy, you have 95+% of an idea of exactly what the enemy can do
TF2 weapon based subclasses make that not possible
modern tf2 is goofy
but to a point, there weren't enough subclasses to really make that argument
I think even peak tf2 (peak being when I played it) it still was not a hero shooter
and most hero shooters now have moved to the limited loadout models, where you have a small number of variant guns/sidearms, but your class skills and character are the same
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I think even peak tf2 (peak being when I played it) it still was not a hero shooter
I agree, but it's definitely borderline
and definitely benefits from predating hero shooters
I think hero shooters moving towards loadouts are moving farther to the edge of what a heroshooter is
rather than that being what a heroshooter is
Yeah, tf2 is moreso a common anscestor of these games
you know, I think I (charitably) understand what Rob's saying
in a world where shooters either go the "realistic" route or the tf2 route
there are really only a small number of tf2-likes
On that way, thats fair
can you have a hero shooter without abilities? (not that I think anyone should do that)
Rob was 15 years too early

Replying to Polar_ #polar_ I sensed TF2 discussion, its a class based arena shooter. Its the blueprint for hero shooters, but hero shooter (to me) means you've tied an action/ability to a single button and that defines your class. Battleborn/Paladins/OW the first real Hero Shooters.
I strongly disagree. You push a button on spy to disguise. You push a button on pyro to let out fire. That makes no difference.
What would make ow-likes "hero shooters" and not tf2 - if anything - is the fact that in-lore for "hero shooters" there is only one of each "hero". Meanwhile, in tf2 lore, it's implied that there are more than one person of every class

Pika, I just realized, this is our Red
I assumed it was just a coincidence
but probably true
what an interesting last few days it's been for me
damn, member #68
Wait I just now realized the joiner message thing is fucking broken
It was supposed to do the stupid card thing
I think you or someone changed it on purpose
to what it is now
and it's not failed recently, which is nice at least
Maybe one of the times I was trying to fix it when it broke
I know I was basically the only person who messed around with it

114->111
Is this the lowest that it’s been?
Yes
Well, not counting when he made it
because it was obviously 0 briefly when he made it
Its the lowest its been on recorded graphtreon history, but I think 140 was the lowest graphtreon shows
graphetron doesn't have all the history
but yeah, it's approaching the lowest
wayback machine goes as far back as 2014 may 6th
Its not been below 100 since just briefly after he made it
329 is the lowest archived

Replying to Polar_ #polar_ You could originally play uncapped heros in overwatch until they realized it was toxic to have tracer and Lucio 2x every comp. Thats the only reason its like that.
In lore, it was always assumed there was only one of esch hero though. There weren't 20 widowmaker clones or 58 reinhardts running around. Even bastion eho you could say was the one exception was like the one bastion who joined the good guys iirc
My argument is that the lore is the only thing that differentiates a "hero shooter" from a class based arena shooter
