While there's definitely lucky/unlucky matchups, I feel consistently winning in comp is more about being versatile and developing game sense.

E.g. who is the team focusing? Is there a threat they keep missing? Can you flank to push the vehicle? Healing vs. Damage to secure a kill, etc.

The dev insight made me better understand how their MM works and it seems uneven sometimes, which boils down to bad strategic team comps or players having to play roles they're not goid at to even it out.

So I try to see how I contribute best, which is Healer in comp.

Did 10 matches as a healer in #MarvelRivals for the skin, had a win streak and said "Okay, I play until I lose or go Platinum"

Went #platinum at 3 AM

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

Just in case anybody has played and finished these before they were fixed: I was able to catch a second Iron Valiant yesterday. So it seems the fix made them reset the "Can't catch this again" counter.

I'm really glad they overhauled the loot inside the Fort after Insider feedback. Even without the CoFs, this now really looks like it's actually worth it doing this event.

Reaper Fortresses bring a fresh Fort experience to the seas next week.

With traps, Ghost Ships and Phantoms added to the usual array of snarling skeletons, they're sure to be a heated test for any crews seeking to secure the Vault's potentially hefty haul: youtu.be/8l6ZKCcx6ds

What aggrevates me most is how it's just such a short time frame (2 weeks) and how especially in Europe it feels like we lost a week because they didn't plan ahead to forge new partnerships, as many distributors who handled stuff like this for Gen 8 went out of business shortly after the pandemic

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

#HatsuneMiku FOMO brute-forced me to play #SonicRacingCrossWorlds long enough to get over the "Is this Mario Kart?"-Phase, and since the #Minecraft Crossover is this week, I guess I'll keep playing this for a bit more.

The music definitely is stuck in my head.
