Vertigo Teaparty

@Critical_Scribe BotW was incredibly "meh" for me. I put a good bit of hours into it and really wanted to like it. It was OK but I still don't get the hype.

Here’s a spicy take: If someone made a game almost exactly like Breath of the Wild but it wasn’t labeled as a Zelda game, it would have gotten 7-8/10s across the board due to a lack of story, weak dungeons, and weapon degradation. I wouldn’t have given it that, and I actually LOVE both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but people let Zelda “get away” with a lot more than other games and it gets to be a bit much to hear at times. If something is not very good in one game, slapping it into the Zelda world doesn’t magically make the thing good. This goes for any Nintendo property btw.

Me and the <McChicken> Gang getting ready to brick some keys! 🙌

More Fatal Frame 2! Or rather, getting lost in the village over and over again. Either way, live now! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

We did it. We found the absolute worst fighting game theme of all time. Thanks Alex! youtube.com/watch?v=nu4pDf…

I sure hope DLSS 5 doesn't ruin the original artist's vision of making characters look like rubber dolls.

I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW I'M PERFORMATIVELY VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS FEATURE I CAN SIMPLY CHOOSE TO NOT USE!

Starting Fatal Frame 2 Remake! Been looking forward to this since it was announced. Streaming now! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

Doing Mythic 0's w/the crew in WoW. Your favorite, I know! Live now! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

I'm enjoying Midnight so far, especially the Zul'Aman zone. It's so cool to learn about and interact with the Amani! 🐊🔥

Possibly wrapping up Nioh 3 tonight. MOSTLY been without armor but we'll see if that sticks. Live now! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

Lot of reasons that a tank is pulling slow. Learning the dungeon/spec/class. Grouped with a new healer. Trying different routes. Waiting for roamers, cooldowns, etc. Here is a wild idea. If you think the pulling is too slow, say something in group chat. More often than not people will be cool if you aren't a douchenozzle. If you pull extra mobs without trying to talk to the tank first, you are a cunt.

I was expecting to be disappointed by Nioh 3's endgame and I was not disappointed.

Wrapping up the next-to-last(?) area in the Naked Nioh 3 run! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

What about when you have 2 groups but that DPS thinks you should pull a 3rd? Or 3 groups and the DPS thinks you should do 4? These people often aren't pulling a 2nd group; they are pulling a 3rd or 4th. They also get to ignore things like casters standing in the back nuking your healer, etc.

@NotAmberBerries That's actually false. Most tank don't actually know what they can or cannot pull so they just play it safe and pull nothing. Going from 3 mobs to 6 is literally never going to kill the tank unless you're in high key where this is not a problem.

Big disagree, the tank knows what they are capable of pulling. If you pull more than the tank is capable of pulling, you risk wiping. If the tank is new and taking it slow, respect that. Nobody -WANTS- to go slow, people play at the pace they are able.

Nioh 3 is back! Continuing on with my armorless run! Live now! twitch.tv/vertigoteaparty

@MrLewdacris A lot of these people are just seeing him mentioned occasionally, they aren't aware of 99% of the stuff he's done. They see him pop up 1-2 times a year. His actions are so ridiculous people assume he's faking, esp. with how prevalent rage-baiting is now.

I think people that think DSP is deliberately acting like a retard and going for rage bait views are nearly on par with the dents. You're giving him way too much credit. I have no doubt that one day Phil will try to claim that was the case as a Kingsnake style move though.

@BubblepunkAD When I'm fighting a group it rarely triggers but if I'm fighting a single mob it'll proc twice.

I really do NOT like this.

People don't seem to be getting this. First off, it has nothing to do with "feeling good" about high numbers or any of that nonsense. It's about growing your channel. Secondly, since we've seen big(?) streamers flat out admit to botting with (AFAIK) absolutely no punishment from Twitch, there's no negative to doing it. It can make your channel easier to find, increasing actual growth since Twitch's discoverability is garbage. Additionally it can open up sponsorship opportunities and increase payouts. Does this make botting good? Absolutely not; it's awful for the long term health of the platform. However, as it stands, not only is there no real negative to botting, you're playing against a stacked deck if you don't.

Streamer manager Reed Duchscher voiced support for viewbotting saying creators are at a disadvantage without it "The reality is, if you're not viewbotting and everyone else is, you're at a disadvantage"
