How to Get Better at Valorant | 15 Aspects to Improve Upon
Bro Spider-Man 2’s story was absolute shit. It was a bunch of woke crap that forces you into an unskippable cutscene to watch a gay marriage for no reason. I’m not saying I hate gay people or anything, but the fact that you couldn’t skip it just because you’d supposedly be a “homophobe” if you did pisses me off. Don’t even get me started on Mary Jane. Turned a character that was likeable but still had flaws, into an absolute bitch who manipulated Peter and literally used his moments of weakness to her advantage and made a story out of Peters being infected with the symbiote, EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW HE HAD BEEN A VICTIM! fuck sweet baby inc, I hope their company goes under.
Denzel really just a real one. Great video
He just seems like such a genuine guy, got to see him in 2022 and 2023 and both of the shows were crazy. Still took his time to stop the show when people passed out to make sure everyone was okay. Musically he's been such a breath of fresh air especially with TA13OO and MMESYF. Great artist, seems like an even greater person. I've been on the Curry wave ever since 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms.
I'm glad that the algorithm decided to show me your video. Hope you're making it big!!
Denzel is such a dope dude. Im from Miami and have been lucky to watch/hear him live as a local artist as I was also a local artist at the same show but in a metal band. Dude would literally play any show with anyone and be the best act there.
I've seen him once, and even met him! Super nice dude and sounds amazing live.
112 views thats it?
Slowly climbing. Appreciate anyone that watches.
lovely video :) im still in the middle of watching but this is fucking great so far. surprised your channel isnt big yet
@@honkerlover8665 Appreciate it. Thank you!
What a cool concept of a game. While I'm not all that interested in trying it myself, it does look pretty entertaining to spectate. Maybe you could commentate on a match that you're proud of and explain your decisions so spectators like myself can start to get an understanding of what is going on.
the game looks fun i have tried league of legends before but it wasnt my cup of tea, this game might be my cup of tea
great video, really helped me gain a grasp of the game. huge valve fan so high hopes for how this pushes and changes the MOBA scene
Can someone tell me what are the "unsecured" when we kill the mini enemies?
Those are souls that will drop if you die before you spend them. You can pick them up from allies/enemies as well.
Can you bait your teammates in this game?
Thank you for making this video! I'd heard about it the other day, and I have to say it looks pretty cool! As someone who used to play Overwatch a ton but doesn't get along with MOBAs, I'm definitely considering trying this out. I always felt games like League and Dota were too overwhelming with items and strategies. Like I had missed out on the early "everyone's still figuring it out" stage of the game and I wouldn't be playing up to par. Smite resonated with me a bit more and Deadlock seems to echo that in its own way. The game really hits all the marks on the aesthetic, reminding me a little bit of Dishonored with a pinch of that TF2 charm. The UI seems a bit all over the place, but knowing Valve, I'm sure there'll be a nice fleshed out options menu to tweak it how I like. Definitely coming back to your video as a refresher course whenever I can get my hands on it!
It's a nice game, I feel like it can easily overthrow smite and predecessor. Item shop video?
W guide
another banger🔥
I'm an avid OW/OW2 player but haven't touched any MOBAs in my life. How difficult you think the learning curve will be?
I’ve barely played any LoL and have never touched Dota 2. I have a decent amount of hours in Overwatch. The learning curve was pretty easy to understand for the basic elements of how to play. But I think it’ll be a “easy to learn hard to master” type of game. I don’t think the learning curve will be very difficult for new players. Should only take a few games to get the hang of it. The item shop/builds will be the hardest part.
I have never played a MOBA and just get steamrolled every match. It seems like a cool game, but I can't get into it when it's just getting spanked for 30 straight minutes
as long as you understand the basics i think you'll be fine its more the characters that you play since they have different abilities and builds
This looks VERY interesting and quite different to TF2. It's basically a MOBA shooter hybrid. I know people say that about Overwatch, but the MOBA elements in OW are minor compared to this. In fact Blizzard has been planning to add more build options to matches in the MOBA style and had some experiments semi recently, but it's all quite simple stuff like selectable passives. Let's see if I can find myself someone that can invite me, though. Haven't found a single Spanish soul with it lol, not even a couple bigger youtuber friends I have. Think there's a lot of depth to make some videos about it like yours. BTW, been following you since that Baldur's Gate 3 vs Spider-Man video almost a year ago, keep it up, mate! I actually try to make videos similar to yours in style/ideas, but you do edit better though haha.

i need invite bro pls ? can u ?
You don't have to watch the video. Nothing happens. Miquella doesn't respond to you having already killed Malenia when you face him. Malenia doesn't respond to you having killed Miquella before you face her. Simply put, it's because they don't know and they have no way to know. Not even through special twin sibling bonds, because Miquella abandoned all that in desperation. Contrary to what people believe however, Miquella might actually mention Malenia in the DLC. For my theory there: see my long ass comment to this post.
Theory: Look at the Cerulean Coast Cross that reads "I abandon here my doubt and vacillation" combined with the Fissure Cross that reads "I abandon here my love" along with the phantom in that area that says "Kindly Miquella, I see you've thrown away something you should not have under any circumstances. How will you salvation offer to those who cannot be saved when you could not even save your other self?". Starting off with the Cerulean Coast Cross; Miquella has to have gone here before he went to the Fissure Cross. So he abandons his doubts before he abandons his love. This means that his doubts were concerning the abandonment of his love. Miquella then abandons his 'love' at the Fissure Cross which means his feelings for the people dear to him and therefore in turn the people dear to him. In other words, he abandons Malenia right here after having done away with the doubts he had regarding doing so. He needed to shed those doubts or he couldn't do it, because he loved his sister too much, but he had to do it because he thought it might be the only way to save her. Another reason to think that's how it went is because of what the phantom says. "How will you salvation offer to those who cannot be saved" - this refers to all the people he wants to help, but first and foremost to Malenia as she is the main one that cannot be saved. She will turn to Rot no matter what. And then he adds the part that can be read in two ways "when you could not even save your other self?" So this refers to Miquella's original kindhearted form which he now casts away for 'the greater good' but you can also view 'other self' as referring to Malenia. Twins are very often referred to as each other's other halves, again pushing the fact that Miquella shed himself of his twin and forgot about her and thus ironically (part of) his goal. All that together suggests strongly that right there at Fissure Cross is when the disconnect between the two happened and why Miquella won't respond to anything you may or may not have done to Malenia. If you want a bonus farfetched theory to support the above; have you tried flipping the DLC map both horizontally and vertically? Now with a lot of fantasy and squinting (like, a lot, lol) it looks like the Lands Between map, only deformed. Which is interesting, but irrelevant, seeing as they don't have to look the exact same to make this point. The point is that shadow realms in stories are often the polar opposite to their light realm. So one location in light realm is in the opposite place in the shadow realm (not to be confused with parallel universes, which are universes that are identical to the original universe aside from a core detail). Imagine it as your own shadow. If you cast a light in front of you, the shadow behind you will show your head at the bottom while it is at the top of your body. So for that reason, we're flipping the map horizontally and vertically so that locations in the light realm now overlay with their 'twin location' in the shadow realm. If you do that, the Fissure Cross location aligns with Malenia's position in the Haligtree. So Miquella abandons his love precisely where Malenia is. You can argue that the Scadutree has to align with the Erdtree then, but that's not true because the Scadutree is the shadow of the Erdtree and not the Erdtree itself. Again, it's not a parallel universe, but a shadow realm. Your shadow is cast behind you as well, not directly underneath you, which is why you can see it. If you flip the map as instructed, you will notice that the Scadutree is actually cast behind the Erdtree too, instead of when you immediately overlap the maps when it'd be above the Erdtree (which would suggest the Erdtree is the shadow cast by the Scadutree rather than the other way around). And that's all the connections I found at least.
I'm 750 hours in.
beautiful
Harder than sekiro end boss for me lol. Not sure what my problem is here just not clicking for me so far. I've died 6 times and haven't escaped phase 1. I might be in for the long hual 😂
To be fair CP Backgrounds are just like D&D backgrounds. Character RP fluff that typically doesn't really do anything. What actually affected the things you describe in CP tabletop was the classes(Roles) which don't actually exist 2077. Probably one the hardest to implement would of been Netrunners. Who spent the most of the time playing a completely different game than the rest of the party at the table. Main issue with CP2077 is that its true to the RPG its based on, rather going the lazy route of being a action adventure game. All that aside all scripted video games give the illusion of choice, this is unavoidable. Making real meaningful branching paths becomes exponentially costly for development. Just look at BG3, where they spent so much time developing Act 1 in early access that they realized it was eating up the entire runway budget, so Act 2 and 3 got streamlined and rushed.
It’s not a debate…Baulder’s Gate would win the score argument too
When I got BG3 i was very nervous to play it because I was SURE I wasn't going to like it because I don't know a lot about DnD and I don't like turn based games but when I tell you the choke hold this game has on me it is crazy. I am so glad in won game of the year
It won because its better. Dont need 22 minutes to say that.
Spider man 2 came and went so fast 😂 people are still talking about Baldurs gate 3 to this day! A modern classic for sure ❤
Fromsoft preguiçosa

Totally objective id say bg3 is easy the best game of all time. Ithers are subjectively cause u love them ir are jostalgic, but all your own emotions aside thwre is nothing that can beat it yet
Because it was gayer
why would anybody think spiderman 2 tbh? ive been playing it now. Half way thru, pretty bland and nothing new. its literally Spiderman 1 + Miles Morales. Nothing new added. Even the annoying MJ Sealth Sections are sill in there. How could anybody think that a game that improves nothing to the first except for the graphics wins GOTY?
Because the game is woke and we are living in woke times. Prove me wrong.
idk man maybe you should actually just open your mind and stop crying like a little kid because a game you never played has won

Baldurs Gate 3 - Play as you want Spider-Man 2: Play as Mary Jane
If baldur’s gate 3 didn’t come out it wouldn’t be spider man 2 which would’ve won it would’ve been Tears Of The Kingdom
Guess we were all hoping for some kind of Sif style cutscene. Shame would have been a cool detail
I really loved the DLC but this was the only thing I found disappointing.
Fromsoft is usually on top of details like this, when it comes to DLC. Dark Souls 3 ended up with Yuria talking about the soul of her sister when you have it. I expected Gideon at least to have some new dialogue.
@@NanashiAkai I expected the same and also a new dialogue with Malenia or even an alternate cinematic just like Sif had in Dark souls.
What’s ridiculous is Spiderman 1 is still more expensive than Spiderman 2, even tho the latter was significantly better and NEWER. I didn’t understand the hype around baldurs gate 3 but I bought it a few days ago and I can’t put it down lol.
I am still confused if: 1. The happenings in the Lands of Shadow happened first. Meaning, the purge of the Hornsents happened first thru Messmer. Or 2. Marika ascended to godhood, ruled the Lands Between, then had a peaceful tie with the Land of Shadow (thus the peaceful era where omens are accepted). Then she just returned to the Land of Shadow to wage war thru Messmer. The timing is complicated and if this is answered properly, I believe everything will make sense.
I believe the crusade occurred after the assimilation of the Carian family. Not before any of Renalla's children were born. As for Mesmer and Melina, I think Marika/Radagon just had them and everyone thought they were children of Godfrey or whoever she had an interest in. She was a goddess after all.
2:55 You said it!!! *Goddess!* now I've got to give this video a👍 Everyone else keeps saying "God" this, "God" that... it's like everyone intentionally forgot gender duality... 😅
The game itself refers to Marika as a "God", it's almost used as a neutral abstract term
@@ceci_ferrando The Finger Reader correctly refers to her as *Goddess Merika...
@@Visigoth_ "But even in shackles, she remains a god". The game uses both, both are valid. "God" is used as a neutral word for "divinity".
@@ceci_ferrando I say it's a bad translation... 神 (Kami) *is gender neutral: God is *not gender neutral. - Or it's used in that statement to give us a *hint that Merika "isn't the one in shackles," it's Radagon? 🤔
I believe the “son” that Grandam says to take into battle IS the incantation she gives us, his vengeful spirit. She might be referring to hornsent himself, but the juxtaposition seems to imply it’s the spirit. It almost seems like she was initially intended to give us a spirit ash or something that was cut, but that’s baseless conjecture on my part.
Why can I only dislike once
Disliked it again just for you
S/o jack
Keep cooking
I think Marika betrayed her own people and the hornsent. I think she was a leader of the Shamans and she was working with the hornsent in their ritual to ascend to godhood. So o think she promised into being their god and creating a crucible age, instead she became her doom and create her own golden age with the help of the two-fingers ( or not because Ymir reveals the two-fingers are actually cut off from the greater will from the start so maybe everything related to the golden age is Marika wishes. )
I don't think marika betrayed her own people. In the erdtree incantation it clearly states the kindness of gold, without order. Emphasis on kindness. I don't think someone who betray their own people for power would then suddenly go back just to bathe the village in gold despite knowing that their would be no one there to heal. This plus the two tree sentinels protecting the place with the sad and beautiful music playing in the background communicate to the audience that Marika truly cherished this place and it's people. Messmer even now continue to try to reverse what has been done to his mother people in the shadow keep where you find the living jar in the hospital. Everything from the setting to the music communicate the love that Marika had for this place.
I think it goes back to the hornsents. They are trying to make a Saint out of the Numens in the Bonny Village. Those who fail to become saints are stuffed in the jars, as mentioned by the weeping phantom who doesn't want to be stuffed in the jar and promised to be a saint if given a chance. My initial take is that, Marika successfully become a saint. To which she was given privilege to the doorsteps of the altar of divinity (or she has become "acceptable" and was offered to the "god" worshipped by the Hornsents). Then she killed that god, consumed it, and claim its power as her own. This answers the "seduction" and "betrayal" in the beginning
She left her son to rot, used her lovers and threw them in the garbage when she was done with them, only acknowledged children who were useful, and destroyed the very order of reality so she can sit her fat as on a throne forever. I think she is more then capable. She is a cunning selfish narcissistic psychopath bruh.
You should check out the parallels between Ranni and Miquella. Ranni was able to do a large part of what Miquella needed to do with half the effort. They both attempted to killed a half brother. They both divest themselves of their bodies/fate. Both of them want to start a new age but the only difference is that Miquella wanted to become a god. Miquella had to bewitch his allies to keep them around while Blaidd only “betrayed” Ranni because he was forced to. I don’t see a lot of people talking about these parallels.
Great idea!
And they both have four hands.
Apparently the Japanese translation of shaman village is actually "shrine maiden village" or "Miko" village noting the female connotations of Marika's village. Miko in japan are female shamans similar to the oracles who perform rituals to commune the will of the gods or god. Essentially they are shrine keepers who take care of the shrines and heal, bless and guide people through rituals and medicine who are kind and always help those in need. Marika must have been a shrine maiden like her people which is why she maybe able to cast a healing incantation "the kindness of gold without the order". She was a shrine maiden before her village and the shrine maidens were dragged away by the "chosen people".
The Japanese word can mean both Shrine maiden or shaman.
In the jar? Oh no...
We need a prequel game or movie for Elden Ring. So many questions, so few answers.
It's called Berserk
Going to use this comment to address any corrections within the video :D 1. As another user pointed out. Messmer’s crusade did have to happen AFTER Marika ascended to godhood due to the text given in the “Remembrance of the Wild Boar Rider”
Messmer's crusade was AFTER Marika's godhood??? This makes no sense. Who sacrificed all those hornsent and made up the gates of divinity?
@@armandaneshjoo Gaius’ remembrance mentions how he and Messmer were like older brothers to Radahn, meaning that Marika (and Radagon) had to have ascended to godhood and have Radahn be born and grow up a bit with Messmer and Gaius before the crusade.
@@MiNiSoTaN I know, but the gates of divinity are made of dead hornsent bodies. who killed them? when? how? why?
I bet it was the hornsent themselves who sacrificed their own people to create the gates of divinity and Marika simply seized the opportunity.
