This man betrays his best friend



Because he was ****ing jealous and horny.

why is it always **** goes down because the dude is horny or jealous.
Edit: omg she killed herself for the love of the friend and not her husband, the one that came to rescue her

Guys this is one epic movie

Lmao, apparently Lebron is actually pretty good. The memes just keep getting better.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I want to know how MultiVersus is going to handle the character select screen down the road.

The roster is obviously going to get bigger over time but there's already a lots of other junk present on that screen.

Do what Cross tag did, every franchise gets a select screen.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yall are probably sick of me talking about it, but Live A Live is fantastic. Gonna get a major case of post game depression after this

 

[ZephyrZ]

This bug just sat there and posed for me.

At first I thought it was a large species of bee, but looking into it it seems to probably be a robber fly, which ironically preys on bees.

Marvel is said to have a lot of bullying power over VFX companies.

When one VFX company couldn’t finish the number of shots & reshoots Marvel asked for in time, they effectively blacklisted the company from ever getting work with Marvel again.

A VFX artist says working on Marvel movies includes being underpaid, understaffed and overworked — “I was working 7 days a week, averaging 64 hours a week on a good week.”

“I’ve had co-workers sit next to me, break down and start crying.”

Well this is damning

Not surprising at all considering it's Disney. Also considering the last few movies they **** out, they probably did that to a lot of companies. I pity those poor VFX artists

 

[TMNTSSB4]

alright so far, based on what I tried out in training…Batman and Harley will be the ones I love most

and Finn is pretty fun as well. Gonna need to try out Bugs and more of Wonder Woman

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Got damn, this games bad end is depressing. This character literwly only has one ending he can be played on and its the bad end. No good ending for this *****

Tbf, me, Lamperouge and a few others are going to be fanboying/fangirling about Xenoblade 3 when that releases on Friday, so you'll never hear the end of us for a while.

I’ve unlocked Harley just in time for her season 3 premiere

Brendan about to direct Air Traffic:

 

[osby]

Id chalk it up to devsisters, cookie run makers, being South Korean where mihoyo is Chinese

I don't believe this is something caused by developers' nationalities. Arknights is also a Chinese gatcha game and it usually does a decent job at giving characters darker skin tones when they need to.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

even tho some of these Multiversus alts have already been seen in past gameplay, some of these are also pretty new so…

[Knight Dude]

Nintendo's current update style with the sports titles is a little weird. Not terrible, but just weird, makes it so that I'd rather wait for the free updates to be over to grab the game later.

Brendan about to direct Air Traffic:

Next month is definitely going to get weird for the game if they're doing a Villain Arc and the 3 Year Anniversary. The datamine only covers about about week and a half of content unlike normal. If it's like last year and they do another round of 3 Master Fairs, I'm not sure how they plan on making all of this limited content seem reasonable for most players or even most whales. We don't even know if they plan on re-running Archie/Maxie yet.

Spoiler

SS Brendan - Is looking like another top tier Support unit. Can max Team Crit with it's grid, multiple Potion MP refreshes/Master Healers, it's passive let's it basically use no move gauges, Special Move Up, and can easily debuff Special Defense. It's hilarious though that Latios ended up being a Support unit while Latias ended up mostly as an attacking unit.

SS May - Another Uber Tier damage dealer. Most people I saw were betting on Blaze Kick sucking so it's hilarious to see it having been made into a 4 gauge move. Can max Team Crit, buff Team Speed, can debuff Defense/Speed, lots of solid damage multipliers. I kind of wish she was a Striker so I could use all of the 5* Strike Candies I've stockpiled.

Looker - Our first dedicated Poison Striker in just over two years (Plumeria was July 2020!). Seems really solid and being a physical attacker, he fills a lot of niches that were missing. Thank goodness he's a regular scout and not a Fair.

Courtney - By herself, she's pretty average IMO, but the fact that she's our first Ground Zone unit is HUGE for team building. Teaming her with Maxie and Cynthia/SS Giovanni (to a lesser extent) just breaks the the game. Units who already wreck things in Weather alone getting Zone buffs might result in a new Tier of DPS being made.

Hoenn Champion Stadium being confirmed is nice, especially since it remembered Emerald version with Wallace being included.

I hope people got in their runs in the Legendary Gauntlet before it ended early due to the Uxie bug. I'm glad Reddit/Discord sounded the alarm as otherwise I wasn't planning on doing it until this weekend. Given the rare items it featured, hopefully the apology rewards will be enough to compensate those who missed out big time.

Confirming that older units who already have their grids will be getting buffs is HUGE. I hope this means we'll be seeing 4 units get buffs on the 25th of each month now instead of just 3.

I would hand over my gems to her and wish her a good evening.

I'd also want to ask for an autograph but she seems to be in the middle of a job and I wouldn't want to inconvenience her with my frivolous wishes.

There's been a lot of crazy **** this year, but there's no doubt in my mind that the craziest is that Nier fans actually want to go to church now.

They also arent based on different regions based in real world places like Genshin either (correct me if Im wrong)

Whats weird is a gacha cookie game was able to give asian and arab based people..er... cookies kinda close skintones to irl better then genshin has.

Have you seen those new characters. They are as white as ghosts covered in mayo

 

[TheMightyP]

Professor Pumpkaboo you hear about this?
This is shohen manga's first black female protagonist and I think she looks adorable

You mean Arknights? They're actually are, one of the cool things about the worldbuilding is how pretty much each country is based on specific cultures in our worlds.

I think what's weird is that Genshin does have characters with darker skin colors like Kaeya and Xinyan. I agree, it's super weird how characters hailing from a South Asian and Middle Eastern-inspired region are so uniformly pale.

Well this is damning

Wait, Marvel uses the same VFX company for all of their movies. ILM which is owned by Disney has done every Marvel movie since Iron Man. I’m not saying this report is incorrect but if they are using multiple VFX companies instead of the one they are closest too #1 why? #2 why bully companies you personally choose because they’re “not doing good enough” if you could use the one that’s right in your parent company who is known for high quality VFX. idiots.

If you’re going to use a smaller company don’t be a ***** about it marvel.
