2024.05.16 03:30 lahimatoa Did the officiating in Game 3 flip Denver/Minnesota on its head?
Up front, I want to say that I really like both of these teams. I cheered for the Nuggets to win last season, and I'd love to see them win again this year. Minnesota is young and fun and I hope Ant becomes the face of the league one day.
With that out of the way, we all saw how the T-wolves were dominating the Nuggets on defense in Games 1 and 2. It seemed like an extension of what the league was letting teams get away with post All-Star break: a lot of physical play, some hacking, bumping, etc. The T-wolves were blitzing everyone, making life for Murray hell, and doing everything they could to disrupt what the Nuggets like to do, which is tons of interior passing and getting Murray open looks.
NBA commentators were calling it the most impressive playoff defense they've seen in years. People were wondering if the Nuggets could win even a single game in this series.
Then Game 3 rolls around, and Minny gets whistled for four soft fouls in the first 10 minutes (seriously watch some of these), and that's it. This crew decides they're calling this game in an entirely different way than Games 1 and 2 were called, more akin to how they called games in the first half of the season.
With the whistles coming early and at the first sign of contact, Minnesota couldn't do what they did in Games 1 and 2, and end up getting blown out.
Now, was some of this Jokic figuring out Minny? Certainly yes. Did Mike Malone call a better game? Yes. Was Murray healthier? He sure looked like it. There were many factors that flipped this series, but a huge one, IMO, was the way the officiating flipped on its head out of nowhere.
All I ever want from sports officials is consistency. Keep it consistent throughout the game. Keep it consistent throughout the series. Keep it consistent throughout the season. But when these variations show up, it makes the viewing experience really frustrating.
Just my two cents.

2024.05.16 03:29 OurCommonMan Opening Event - So it Begins
9th Moon, 25 AC
But it was not alone that they flickered.
The wind beat at hundreds of banners. Of towers, of dragons, of Seahorses and suns, of falcons and wolves and lions and flowers. No stag flew among them however - for in its place flew a spiral, higher than its neighbours.
The great houses had flocked to the festivities, and now they mingled, for the hunt would soon be upon them, and though it was a pittance of a prize, the prestige of besting every other house was impossible to ignore.
For those who waited however, there were mess tents which had been made into taverns. There were fighting rings and practise lists, there were small stages for bards to play and there were large clearings for meetings and festivities through the day and night. Games and chance were as common as laughter and intrigue. And all were invited.
2024.05.16 03:29 Upper_Outside_3911 Just hear me out. The last of us season 2 is doomed to fail.
So first off I dont hate the second game. I dont care for the story or lack there of but the gameplay was a solId improvement over part 1 forsure and as everyone already knows this is a controversial topic among TLOU fans and I already know that people are likely to start trashing each other's opinions, but try to remember this is just my opinion. That being said I see only 2 outcomes for season 2 of the TLOU. Either they will follow the story from the game(regardless of whether you liked their changes or not, they barely did this in season 1) which "in my opinion" has far less adaptability to a TV series and felt less story centered and at least to me far less moving as the story was in part one, and TLOU 2 fans of the 2nd game review bomb it because as I said "IN MY OPINION" it just doesn't have the meat and bones of an easily adaptable story and there for will be bland and mostly un-eventful in comparison to season one. OR they will DRASTICALLY change the story(which is the most likely outcome) and TLOU 2 fans will review bomb it because it didnt resemble tge game they love. Even if you remove the over whelming hate the casting choices have alreadt received from again about half the fan base that will just hate the 2nd game/show regardless I still don't see any outcome that leads to a good outcome for season 2. THAT ALL BEING SAID AGAIN THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND I WILL BE GLAD IF I'M WRONG. I can be a bit pessimistic sometimes lol. WHAT ARE YALLS THOUGHTS?
Also it might be worth noting that while I agree that season 1 was well made and well recieved(mostly by people who had never played the game) I hated it. They got the first episode and the last mostly right but everything in between is not at all TLOU story regardless of whether you liked it or not thats a fact not and opinion, it was almost entirely different and then there's the fact that they made joel 10years older than he was in the original ps3 version. WHY!? Then they decided to make Joel insanely weak and scared in comparison to the character we all know and love from the games........ REALLY?? So you took the character that the game became famous for and decided it was a good idea to utterly change everything about him? Just....wtf......explain to me how that makes sense or how it in ANY way is the first good and "true to the game" television adaptation?
ok I'm done.

2024.05.16 03:29 Brilliant-Ad2155 Frustrated with spouse
Let me start by stating that I love my wife and our relationship. She simply has certain expectations that frustrate me at times.
I work night shift 11pm-7am and at least once a week work a side job if not more for additional income for fun. I do about 45-50+ hours a week. I come home and go straight to bed laying with my wife until she gets up and started her day. For a few months now my wife has been jobless (not her fault, and I encouraged her to take some time off working ) but before that she was working for a few years. The thing is though, she was getting paid a full 40 hours a week but only had to show up to work about 3ish hours a day and occasionally get to leave early.
Pretty sweet gig on her part. The kicker for me though was I work nights and would wake up maybe an hour or two before she gets back home. And if I hadn’t done an hour or two worth of chores she’d get pissed off at me for having not done anything. Mind you I just worked a 8 hour shift, came home went straight to bed and woke up. I used to 1-2 hours to myself to unwind and sit and watch TV or play a game that I wouldn’t normally get to do when she’s home.
Now that she’s been out of work for a few months, she gets frustrated that I don’t help with as much of the chores as she does. But she stays at home all day long. Maybe occasionally doing a side job once or twice a month so she can have some extra money in her pocket.
I work more than 40 hours a week and am expected to do half the chores plus pay for all our expenses and give her money when she ask but hey… I didn’t do a load of laundry today.
I’ll add in. I’m not a sloppy person and try and pick up after myself and do not expect her to do everything by herself. If she cooks I try and help prep or I’ll load the dishwasher. If I notice the laundry basket is full I’ll put a load to wash. But for her I need to do all of that plus vacuum sweep mop etc every single day… maybe she just has OCD or I’m being lazy here. Thanks for listening to my ramble y’all.

2024.05.16 03:27 Jarkside Second Attempt: Is DFV behind Hudson Bay instead of RC?
What if it’s DFV behind Hudson Bay and not Ryan Cohen?
I just saw DFV’s latest video where he basically says “I am Kaiser Souze”
There is endless speculation in this subreddit that RC is behind the DK Butterfly lawsuit against the former board members in relation to the Hudson Bay transaction.
That all makes some sense in a tinfoil kind of way, but RC had publicly said he’s no longer an investor in BBBY and he’d be dancing on some pretty thin ice if he meant that to say he’s behind the HBC deal but is not really a shareholder anymore.
RC is also an insider for Gamestop and is subject to all kinds of SEC rules regarding his own personal involvement in other companies. He would be under particular scrutiny if he was involving GameStop in another company.
You know who isn’t an insider at GameStop?
And who can can operate without scrutiny from the SEC?
Who can raise capital from folks like Icahn or other investors to back him in the resurrection of a long languishing and bankrupt company?
Who has an interest an interest in taking to to the short sellers and showing how fraudulently they can operate?
Who would be a friendly to GameStop and work with the company once his involvement would come to light?
You guessed it - Roaring Kitty aka DFV
Check out this DFV post from today https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790759048985612468
Who’s in Charge? DFV or RC?
Starlord and Thor are having a playful argument about who’s in charge. Starlord says he’s in charge and Thor (fully knowing that he could destroy Quill at any moment if he wants) says, yeah, you’re in charge.
Thor is RC
Quill is DFV
Quill is “in charge” for now unless Thor takes over
Next- see this DFV post which states “There’s an argument to be made that Roaring Kitty is in charge of GameStop”. https://twitter.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790755264733626879
I’m just saying DFV could be the man behind the mask in the BBBY bankruptcy.
Oh, and by the way, see this-
https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790785463118348420
“It doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is our plan. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.”
“Was getting caught part of your plan?” “Of course!”
EDIT: And now he’s using the PPShow’s starting music https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790823211745063394

2024.05.16 03:26 Joshthedruid2 Tactics game where combat takes place in "bigger on the inside" nested stages.
I've had an idea brewing in my head for years now for a sci-fi setting. Miniaturization technology becomes so advanced that it becomes possible to shrink an entire room to fit inside a cardboard box. And it turns out you can put that box in a room, shrink down the room, and put it in another box. And so on and so on. As population increases further and further, miniaturization becomes the only way to combat the rising cost of land. Soon entire countries are housed in nested cities that only take up a space equivalent to a moderately sized warehouse. But as a side effect, even a small group can gain control of a nation if they make it all the way to the top layer. And when they can bring an entire army with them in a shoe box, a single person can usher in a world shaking coup.
It hit me while watching my partner play Fire Emblem that this setting could make a fascinating tactics game. Combat would take place in rooms and corridors, but rather than just exploring a linear dungeon each room is contained inside another. You can manipulate the battlefield by picking up and moving subrooms, forcing enemies into and out of them to take advantage of environmental traps, or hiding a room out of sight to set up an ambush.
As you play through the game you'd be able to collect new rooms you pass along the way in addition to units, to continually build out your own hand-held barracks and army. Collect bedrooms for more troops, forges to improve your weapons, or even hazardous trap rooms to drag enemies into in combat. The greatest threat would be complexity: you can bring an entire mansion with you into combat, but if your allies have to run through a mile of hallways to come to the fight then they may not be able to fight at all.

2024.05.16 03:26 dragonic_puppy In defense of raum
I was streaming, playing some paladins, and no one on my team picked tank so i went raum since he's the only tank i like (this was casuals) and oh my god i had so much fun with a build i made, its a simple build but i was running earthsplitter with moral boost, and i had my ult 9 times out of 10 during each fight, sometimes getting it twice in one fight, not only that but i have a build that just makes him as tanky as possible, and all i was doing was attacking the backline and occasionally helping my dps push forward and i think i died a total of 2-3 times per game, i get raum is really bad as a solo tank, but holy he is fun. Normally i hate playing tank since its pure suffering half the time, but I've always felt this random connection with raum and he always felt fun to me, but now that I've gained this knowledge on how to just deny death and stomp everyone even more than nyx fans could handle, ill definitely be playing him more often

2024.05.16 03:24 phenomenal_vun Asuka Matchup
For the love of everything holy in the world, can someone tell me how to beat this annoying bitch ass of a character. Can someone shed some light on the general game-plan and strategy to counter her?
I am getting mixed up by run up db 1+2 (the down punch) and run up 1+2( the mid palms).
If i try to play defense, i get mixed up, if i attack i get clipped by her evasive tools

2024.05.16 03:23 SeaworthinessHot5310 Another one bites the dust
After 12 years in the classroom and 19 years in education I think I’ve finally hit the wall. This year has buried me.
-students that play cat and mouse with their tardy slips that are given mere feet away from class - the daily, daily, DAILY barrage of arguing, gaslighting, bullying by students -the abuse from parents. The fact that a parent is given full access to yell at and insult you and your ability to teach for as long as, and for whatever they want, no matter how excessive the students behavior is, with zero protection or backing from… anyone. Admins only role is to facilitate the abuse. - that asking for help with aggressive or continually disruptive students only results in an assessment that you need “more training in classroom management” -that you can skip class for 31 days, face zero consequences , and still pass
And finally, the fact that students can get aggressive, violent, make threats, steal personal belongings, curse you out and all of this is just supposed to be brushed off as the nature of the game. Stop being a puss and move on.
I have a graduate degree in Teaching. I knew it would be tough, I was prepared for behavior problems but…. This feels like getting paid (minimally) to be a demeaned and devalued for the sake of the public. Because they need someone to beat up on and teachers are public service so why not.
I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do with a masters degree in teaching and zero paid into social security.

2024.05.16 03:23 TheRealBeefChief Envision pro sudden issues with steam
So everything was fine until tonight when I sat down to play some games. Steam no longer automatically registers the scuf as an Xbox controller. So it turns it now has lost natural support for some games, and the only way I can get it to work is by using steam inputs, which effectively is adding latency, and making so the paddles/Xtra buttons are useless. I have tried all the normal stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.16 03:22 Comprehensive-Can163 About WordByWord: Adventure Game
Hello Adventurer!💨
This subreddit is created to have conversations about development WordByWord Game and other projects.
I know a little about reddit, and I'm not native English speaker, so my posts may not be grammatically correct, but I will try my best:) and while posting it here, I would love to hear community (if it would be any:)) feedback commenting development process.
Over time, I've tried several ideas and prototypes about what the game could be and finally came to the following:
It would be good to keep the same principle, but create new mechanics around it, to change the goal of the game - instead of comparing and confronting players, it would be better to give players thought the game can be played together, and while playing - research some new words and languages.
So, based on this, the final idea can be described in following principle:
The word entering mechanics are key to use everything in the game, and all players - are the passengers of hot air balloon which travels through some landscapes.
Currently I already implemented the new logic, which allows players to.control hot air balloon through the words, actions (moving crystals) and technologies.
I'm not great in UI design, so currently not focusing on it and making opposite - mechanics, and testing it how it works.
A latest walkthrough video of this concept is below
https://youtu.be/7qU1wVzyL-U?si=AYjwHV90OyNWoPac
and a light version of the game is currently released on snapstore, google play and playable in browser on itch.io.

All my fails gave me reason to believe that development is more about living - in constant process of researching, failing, trying again until something is good happens:)
Why two (or few projects) in the same time Over last years I had several burnouts, after which I'm trying carefully balance work-life-hobby projects, to minimise impacts of such things:) because of that, sometimes I work half of year on Word by word Game, and other half - on LastAnswer.

About the Word By Word
The initial idea of the game was created by me and my wife during long trips on transport, which required fast, simple and fun game which can work offline on one device and it was based on simple rule - which famously known as "Snowball" (or similar) - I say "Adventure" the the next person should say word which will contain three last letters from the word, i.e. "ure", so he may say "capture", the next person, can say "bureau" and so on.Over time, I've tried several ideas and prototypes about what the game could be and finally came to the following:
It would be good to keep the same principle, but create new mechanics around it, to change the goal of the game - instead of comparing and confronting players, it would be better to give players thought the game can be played together, and while playing - research some new words and languages.

2024.05.16 03:22 Pastaonmyballs I'm happy that my parents missed my graduation
So I recently just graduated high school. Just fir a little background information: I was the "oops" baby. My parents gave me my basic needs, but truely didn't care much for me. I have 2 older brothers who are both in college and by the middle of my sophomore year, my parents basically stopped caring for me since i had my lincese.
Well during 10th grade, I met these 2 people Jay (28M) and Becca (30F) on a game. We started to game and talk more and since then, I've considered them older siblings. We talk daily with 2 other people (both 20M) and just game. All of them have helped me through senior year when it came to colleges and scholarships, since my parents didnt. We were even in call when I opened my acceptance letter.
The topic of graduation came up a few weeks ago and Becca asked me who's all going to graduation for me. I said no one and told them that, "yeah my parents are going on a trip during the time" and that I'm not close to other family and we didn't talk about it more.
About 2 days later, I get a dm from Becca saying like "Hey about what you said a couple days ago about graduation. Me and Jay will totally drive out there (about 7hrs away) just so somebody will cheer for you." And I was just shocked that these 2 adults with jobs and lives would even want to do that.
Us 3 got talking and I gave them all the information for the day. Said day comes and low and behold, the 2 showed up. When my name was called, i could hear them yelling and cheering and I just wanted to start sobbing.
Yknow grad ends and immediately, Becca gives jay the gift they got me and runs to bear hugs me saying she's so proud of me. And honestly, I'm fulling sobbing that these random people I met playing fucking overwatch were the only ones to show up for me.
Now that I'm out of high school and a legal adult, they asked if I wanted to stay at their house for the summer since the school I got into was a city apart from where they live (it's the same school Jay went to and has friends who work admissions who he totally didn't recommend me too.) I finally got people who care for me and I'm so happy about it.

2024.05.16 03:21 Ir_Abelas Better Voice Lines Going Forward Would Be A Massive Improvement
Skip to the end for the TL;DR
I understand if this seems whiney and unimportant, but it's just something that's been bugging me. Given the genre and gameplay, and the lack of other similar titles aside from perhaps Paladins, whether it's deserving or not this game will time and again be compared and contrasted against Overwatch. In that same vein, something that Overwatch does much better, and is part of why many players still so loyally play it despite a series of poor decisions from the games creators is the voice lines of the heroes.
Each and every one of them, no matter how long or short, is deeply revealing of the character who spoke them. While there is lore available in snippets through the game, most of it is actually available outside of the game proper, which unfortunately results in a large portion of the player base being unaware of it or uninterested in discovering it. Even so, the players are deeply devoted to the characters they main, because the voice lines did such perfect work in displaying the characters, articulating their stories, motives, and personalities. It personalized them, helped players create bonds with their chosen heroes, and most importantly added to the overall quality of the game.
Back when the game first came out, I would argue there was no stronger feeling, whether that be hope if you were an ally or utter and complete frustration if you were an enemy, than when Mercy would shout, "Heroes never die."
Marvel Rivals has the incredible benefit of pulling from a pre-existing IP with decades of material to use and be inspired by. It's understandable though that the game would pull mostly from the MCU in certain regards, as it already does, given the MCU's overwhelming popularity and power. I believe this is why most lines are redundant, repetitive, and seek to capture the "funny one liner" energy that plagues the MCU. Groot stands as a prime example of this, he literally only says "I am Groot.", in about three different ways. While this may be source accurate, it does very little to build a personality beyond, "Haha, tree man is kinda dumb." In contrast, Bastion of Overwatch is essentially entirel nonverbal, yet his beeps and chirps have crafted a cute, charming robot that feels. Just think how much could be added to Groot if instead of only using the one phrase infinitum, he could grunt, groan, laugh, shout, scream, all without using words and still saying something.
TL;DR Hearing Mantis say, "This anger is healthy!" was cute the first ten times, became annoying on the eleventh. Also, it feels like every character has maximum of 10 lines.

2024.05.16 03:20 OutrageousPineapple9 Shadowheart romance was sweet until act 3 imo
First off I have no problems with poly this post isn’t an attack on poly.
I personally am not into poly however imo the way it was implemented into the game wasn’t done with care.
If they are going to introduce Polyamory romances they should go for ambiamorous.
That way people that want a monogamous will have in game confirmation that shadowheart is very happy to be monogamous and those that want a polygamous relationship can know she is very happy to be open with them.
The easiest way to do that would be to have the option to lock Shadowheart into a mono or polyamory relationship that way you don’t get the creepy flirting when you turn Halsin down.
What currently in game is making Halsin come across as a sex pest.
I HATE Halsin not because he’s meant to represent Poly because he’s the only companion in the whole game that is overly flirty and all the response’s you have are flirty which is bad when you don’t like the character.
He is extremely creepy in act 3 because by then you could have rejected him 2 times yet he still has the banter with shadowheart. Even if you don’t talk to him you still get the banter.
Hell even if you play a non mono Tav that doesn’t like Halsin he still will insert himself into the drow scene and the cherry on top is Shadowheart will disapprove if you reject him there.
Halsin doesn’t even want a relationship with Tav or anyone just go to Larain website and you’ll see the people that wanted to romance Halsin were disappointed because he doesn’t want a relationship.
Now this is where shadowheart romance starts to decline.
In act 2 If you propose poly with another character she will say she doesn’t want to be a spare lover. she will dump you if you romance any other character that isn’t Halsin.
I found this out via Reddit post that
If you tell her there is no room for her in the relationship with Halsin she will still be ok with it.
That is kinda fucked up because up until act 3 she is acting like someone who isn’t into a open relationship or a polyamory relationship.
It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a option to find out that she wants a open relationship when you still have the option to romance a mono companion if you don’t want a poly relationship.
There isn’t even an option to ask the other origin charter if they would be willing to enter a poly relationship with Shadowheart.
I wouldn’t call Halsin shadowheart Tav poly because halsin doesn’t want a relationship so he’s kinda a fuck buddy.
I apologise if this has been post is old new but alas I don’t have a gaming PC and can only play it on Xbox x.
As a SA survivor Halsin triggered my PTSD he would just not accept the No if you say NO once he should stop.
I already have Real life experience of men and women not giving a fuck about me not giving consent I don’t need this in a video game for FF.
I play video games to have a mental break from my trauma. Halsin is the only video game charter in my 20+ years of gaming that wouldn’t take No for an answer.

2024.05.16 03:20 tft_xilao 14.10 Guide: Lillia and Dragonlord Nine-Five Reign Supreme, Kai'Sa Finally Falls Off
 | Feel free to check the video version of this post on Youtube. We will always provide ENG subs for players. submitted by tft_xilao to CompetitiveTFT [link] [comments] Remember to subscribe our Youtube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@CNTFT I have obtained full authorization to repost from the author
https://preview.redd.it/91bxvezyto0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=a93915ba43a09621dfbb8dac48df889086c67811 Sage Lillia has benefited from a nearly 10% buff to the Mythic trait, and Lillia's targeting mechanism optimization, jumping from T4 to T0 in strength rating. Once again, flexible players are leading the way! With the efficiency of Ghostly spectre generation improved in this update, and the buff to many low-cost exclusive augmented units, the environment is increasingly favoring 2-cost reroll comps. Ghostly Zyra, Ghostly Senna, Ghostly Kindred, and other such comps will become more active. Finally, benefiting from dual buffs to Wardens and Snipers, another Warden Ashe comp, different from the Invoker build, might attract players' interest. Now, let's look at the comp blacklist. https://preview.redd.it/2trmfjr6uo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f4ec5fdc6e25ae089b5845cbe4d891a6679063e The most affected is Bruiser Kai'Sa, with the late-game secondary damage dealer Xayah's base attack damage being heavily nerfed, and the increased threats to backline comps in the meta, this once powerful comp finally moves to the second tier. However, it is worth mentioning that due to the update's focus on win streaks, Fortune players might have more freedom in the early game, so the traditional Fortune Kai'Sa comp might still have a breath of life. Ghostly Gnar's skill attack damage has been reduced by 20%, dimming its glory and making it a relic of the past alongside Kai'Sa. Ethereal Blades may be affected by the resurgence of the Ghostly trait, potentially falling short of achieving three-star due to increased difficulty, so Ethereal Shen might indeed be a cautious "Shen." The tier list for version 14.10https://preview.redd.it/ufvz07v9uo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=210b2010e99d0b8bc61af966fd9b0d3f0f1589d1The T0 tier includes Sage Lillia, Dragonlord 9, and Fated Dryad. Fated Dryad is about to be hotfixed, so its strength post-hotfix is yet to be determined. The T1 tier includes Ghostly Zyra, Ghostly Senna, Ghostly Kindred, and Warden Ashe. For Warden Ashe, I recommend that players above Master rank avoid it for obvious reasons. In terms of point-farming strategies, heroes other than Ethereal Blades are basically must-picks: Legendary Hero, Lucky Paws, Drop Blossom, and Midnight Siphon. Their strategies have significantly changed since the initial patch and the "Special Strategies Compilation," so this video will showcase the updated quick-reference chart. T0 Comp-Sage Lilliahttps://preview.redd.it/t3rgty3duo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=08fd6b26532918234e52154a38d07f61fde335beSee the image for the build. At 8 population, if Titan is not two-star, use Annie as the frontline in place of Janna. Lillia has a 50 mana bar, each round Oracle restores 5 mana, Shojin restores mana in 3 attacks, Blue Buff requires 4 attacks, so starting item is Shojin > Blue Buff. Two-star Lillia + Morgana > Two-star Hwei + Azir. Do not easily switch AP items in the back row. T0 Comp-Dragonlord 95https://preview.redd.it/qmohemzhuo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=22d0f583cddef507f16891da07e79e0b416a619cThis is currently the strongest Dragonlord 9 comp. There are two paths to level 9:
T0 Comp-Fated Dryadhttps://preview.redd.it/iozasl1uuo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=79f910ac2e6b05d3dfd9f1bdb250b39d5eb4443ePlease monitor this comp's performance on data sites after the upcoming hotfix patch. It is expected to nerf Dryad and Thresh's tankiness, and Ahri's Fated bonus AP values. Popular Dragonlord Irelia and Sage Lillia in the meta pose a threat to the back row, causing traditional front-back row comps to need more healing, so it is recommended to build a Gunblade. T1 Comp-Ghostly Zyrahttps://preview.redd.it/p95m1aqyuo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b8edcfe752c8e77afd53f296a22d50f9f00502eA comp that can be rerolled or played conventionally. Angel picks red, Zyra best with Dragon's Claw and Nashor's Tooth, not Guinsoo. If you pick an econ augment, you need to slow roll at 6 population, around 4-3, get three-star Shen and Zyra. If you pick 3 combat augments, you can go to 8 with two-star Zyra, and then raise Morgana as secondary carry. This comp requires a lot of items because it has multiple carries to raise. T1 Comp-Ghostly Sennahttps://preview.redd.it/0p63g062vo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5d38c2e8db85cfa29c7eec650ae5e9deb1795caExclusive only. Preferably no one else is playing Zyra, otherwise Shen can't reach three stars and strength drops by half. It's acceptable to roll to 0 gold at 3-2 and win throughout stage 3, but not acceptable to keep full interest at 3-2 with mixed results. This is a comp where pace > quality of completion. After late stage 4, it will struggle against everyone, so you need to pressure your opponents during the power spike. T1 Comp-Ghostly Kindredhttps://preview.redd.it/17bfszu6vo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=18a78f5a188dff3276aa33018e2d24e9b5d4835fIf after the hotfix fewer people are playing Syndra, then Kindred can be played. With Zyra, Senna in the meta, and some low-cost exclusive augments helping card pools, and with buffs to Ghostly trait and Kindred herself, this comp is very promising. Note it is also a pace comp, pay attention to its stage 3 strength, late game ceiling relies on Syndra. T1 Comp-Warden Ashehttps://preview.redd.it/f8rrbtcbvo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=33890febd497425685cc22f76830a965c49926e1The meta requires main carry Ashe to have a Gunblade, must activate 4 Snipers, and with emblem, activate 6 Snipers. Its strength is average, maybe even a trap, but performs well in lower ranks, recommended for players below Master rank. Special Comp-Legendary Herohttps://preview.redd.it/pcrwn78fvo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d56be6c41b58ffe9328f0335b692f3225971968Slowly chase 3-star Garen > 3-star Sivir > 3-star Jax at level 5. Garen's ideal items: Gage + Dragon's Claw/Redemption + Titan/Archangel. Late game, add high-quality Wardens, at level 9, add Lissandra. With three-star Garen fully equipped, you can win streak to level 9. Special Comp-Lucky Pawshttps://preview.redd.it/m96twlkivo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=853aa89b070600dd6e2c4b76b5d7e5768ac92c70Play it only if you start with 3 or more copies. If you can't get three-star Kobuko at 2-7 with 4 population, then you can't quickly stabilize and accumulate gold to level 9. If rolling is smooth and three-star comes early, stages 3 and early stage 4 are strong periods. Use the economy from Lucky Paws to reach level 9, find Irelia as the main carry to complete the comp. Activate 8 Bruisers if you have the emblem, give Bruiser emblem to Annie. Special Comp-Midnight Siphonhttps://preview.redd.it/p8l5ykijvo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=5ce360cb94efbd3356d3035ccd1b965a9deecb33If there are few Yoricks, rely on two-star Yorick with full tank items for strength. Transition to level 9 with win streaks, and switch to Umbral 9. If there are many Yoricks, open 4 Behemoth and 2 Invokers at 6 population, chase for three-star Yorick, Janna, and Alune, then at level 8, activate 6 Behemoths. Special Comp-Drop Blossomhttps://preview.redd.it/uqh6upokvo0d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=12f8828e1ff05933e5151a96550dcd46b0ca4977If you have Heavenly or Mythic emblem, you can go for high Heavenly or high Mythic routes. Don't rush Bloodthirster on Neeko, in stage 3, one Archangel is enough, her self-healing is completely sufficient. Except for core items and utility items for the backline, extra items are not very useful, so be cautious in games with many items. If you are playing a high AP Zoe carry comp, you can take "Drop Blossom+" as a combat augment. Me——Master player in EUW. Not with the most skillful play style but still trying to having fun: https://lolchess.gg/profile/euw/autochess%20xjdrtf-EUW/set10 |
2024.05.16 03:19 yugyves [TOMT] Early 2000s PC game. Could be educational, but i’m not sure.
I played this game around 2006-2009, I’m not exactly sure when it was released.
It was a colourful and bubbly cartoon style, based on a kid (a girl, I think) that was maybe planning a birthday party in one part of the game? I can remember wrapping gifts and placing clear tape on the wrapping paper etc etc.
There was another part of the game where it showed a wall phone, and there was sticky notes(?) of phone numbers hung up. You could call random numbers, and if I remember correctly, you could also listen to previous messages left on an answering machine(?) something like the dentist
and then the last thing I remember was a part where you would go to the zoo and feed the animals either cabbage or meat, and you would just throw it at them.
There was more to the game, I just cant remember any of it but my sister and I have been talking about it recently, trying to remember the name.
If this sounds familiar to any of you, please let me know😭 I’m seriously so irritated by the fact that I cant find anything on the internet about it!!

2024.05.16 03:19 heyquasi_ god of war ragnarok
(SIGH)
this isn’t a case of git good. im a seasoned gamer of 30+ years and have played your easiest games all the way down to the hardest across all consoles. what i don’t get is that in ragnarok, one of the tears/gravestones in which you fight a boss named hvitserkr the bold, is downright ridiculous.
i get it, its an optional challenge and its supposed to be difficult (playing on hard too by the way) but what is utter nonsense is the amount of enemies they throw at you in this encounter and expect you to maneuver as if you’re playing a hack n slash title.
cool, im all for it. give me multiple enemies. i have to switch up my play style, be more aware, parry all incoming attacks, crowd control with blades of chaos, use runes etc. but what the problem is, is that kratos cannot take em all at once and expect to move at speeds at which you’re expected. dante from dmc, of course. give me dozens of enemies and i’ll have an S tier combo bc the controls allow me to do so. batman in arkham knight, cool, drop down into some goons and wipe em all out half stealth half disarms and the rest with combos and gadgets.
and i get it. study boss behavior the way we all do when we play from software games. meticulously craft gear the way you would in jrpgs. but not here. this fight is ridiculous. there are up to 9 enemies on screen at once NOT including the boss. it completely takes the fun and flow right out of this experience. there’s no sweet spot here and i feel like it’s just poor design.
ALSO! what the fuck is up with these huge purple glowing monsters where you have to destroy 3 pillars to finally kill?!?! i’ve played god of war, god of war 2, god of war 3, chains of olympus, ghost of sparta, ascension and this is what im fighting now?!?!? what?? i don’t know i feel some of these choices for these newer games aren’t so great.
i would love to hear what you all think when it comes to this game. similar experiences? am i the only one who feels like this? 😤

2024.05.16 03:16 djsidama A very Fosh-esque idea I have
I've got something that I believe is right up Max's alley. What if I told you that there is a way for Max to participate as an athlete in the world's biggest games - well, sort of.
So this year we've got the Paris Olympics, and after the Olympics come the Paralympics. One of the main attractions at the Paralympics is "football 5-a-side", more commonly known as blind football.
The thing that amuses me about football 5-a-side is the keepers are sighted (and are not required to have any disability), but they aren’t allowed to step outside of their box, which ends up balancing the difficulty of goalscoring.
Something that I got curious about though - how exactly do the keepers get chosen by the team? Like, is there some sort of selection process used for picking the sighted, able-bodied goalkeeper of a Paralympic football team, or does someone just come forward with a desire to play and the team says sure?
Back in 2012, former Arsenal and German national team keeper Jens Lehmann actually publicly stated that he was interested in playing for the German football 5-a-side team at the Rio 2016 Paralympics (where he would've been 46 years old), and they were thrilled to have him join their squad, but unfortunately that never came to fruition. From what I've learned, the keepers in this sport need to be able to direct and coordinate the blind outfield players, so it's not just about goalkeeping skills, but mainly about management. In other words, the sighted keeper serves as a guide and coach, so you can't just throw prime Casillas or Buffon in goal and expect to win the gold medal.
Now, here's what I'm thinking - I would like to challenge Max to become the goalkeeper of the Great Britain football 5-a-side team. It won't happen this year, as Great Britain have not qualified for these Paralympics (they haven't actually appeared since when they were the host nation at the London 2012 Paralympics). However, in 2026, there will be both a world championship and continental championships for football 5-a-side, and these tournaments will decide who qualifies for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics.
The reason why I'm bringing this up is that I have also thought of aiming to do this myself. The problem is that I'm Canadian, and it does not seem as though Canada is currently even a participant in the Pan-American football 5-a-side tournament, meaning that I face quite the uphill battle to try to appear as Canada's football 5-a-side goalkeeper at the Los Angeles 2028 games. Hopefully it's not impossible though.
Anyways, I'm interested to see if this post reaches Max :)

Anyways, I'm interested to see if this post reaches Max :)

Growing up, I faced many challenges. As a 22M with Middle Eastern parents, I lacked opportunities because my parents, who didn’t finish college, had to work a lot. My 19M brother and I were often left unattended and ended up gaming all day, which led to poor performance in school and feeling lost in life.
My parents are very different from each other. My mom is overly emotional, worries about everything, and reacts extremely to any criticism. She berated me for gaming, but I wasn’t allowed to go out, have friends, or do anything she deemed unsafe. My dad, on the other hand, is overly confident and acts like everything is fine, spoiling us instead of addressing issues.
Now, my youngest brother, who is 7, is also being spoiled. I struggle to bond with him because he’s so demanding and only wants to play games like Roblox, which I don’t enjoy. I’m worried about moving out because he might cry and beg me to stay, and my parents might pressure me to stay as well. They excuse his behavior by saying, "He's a kid; he doesn't know any better," but I feel they should be teaching him better.
I have my own life and goals, and I can't sacrifice everything for my brother. How can I get out of this situation and convince my parents to let me move out, despite my youngest brother missing me?
How can I free myself from this deprivation I was put through growing up? My mom isn't strict anymore but now I don't know what to do to get out of it. It's a lifestyle I grew up with.
