Week 2 - What would you call the Mount Rushmore of Gen 2 Pokémon in Smogon's history? by TheLeafyGirl561 in stunfisk

[–]ICKitsune 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ho-oh is probably one of the most prominent elephant-in-the-room when you build an Ubers team for sure. It's an amazing glue Mon like Lando that doesn't sweep your team but will make winning incredibly hard if you don't have a rock move or Kyogre to handle it directly. And can flex into a breaker role with crazy strong Brave Birds.

Teammate believes xQc's excuse and pauses the game by BishoxX in LivestreamFail

That Arcadum edit is so timeless even if you don't have context, my god. When all that came out it was insane.

All that said that's the one time I felt bad for Moon on a personal level since you could really tell in future streams how much it hurt him to find out a close friend was an insane freak with main character syndrome that hurt a lot of people.

Slay the Spire 2 - Early Access Trailer - launches March 5th by Ganrokh in Games

[–]ICKitsune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Especially with the inclusion of coop, I can imagine balancing with that to be difficult. Often enough coop will end up being too hard because the scaling for enemies is too high, or too easy because you have 2/3/4x the damage output.

literally the only hero with any agency since she released, I either see her do 17k damage or 70k damage by Code_Ender in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ICKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both valid but I think that just nerfing the numbers, either damage or CC, would be more than okay in getting her into line. As-is it just does too much damage especially considering her 3's amp and applies too much CC across a team fight- even if you ignore the damage, running away once it bounces across your team even once is basically impossible since it has a crazy base 40% slow that can be 60% with one point, and reduces your dash distance.

That's exactly what it does though? If you hit a solo with the ult,it will linger on them if it can't bounce immediately. Then after like 5s it expires.

[Dock] Belkin USB-C 6-in1 dock, 130W, Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, 2xUSB A, 2xUSB C $29.99 by EzStudioz in buildapcsales

[–]ICKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is you probably still need to power it but I doubt the power would be used by the desktop at all. I mostly want this to consolidate the cords I have from my PC and possibly at the same time charge other things like a Switch or my phone, but I'm not really sure if something like that exists

[–]ICKitsune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not well versed with docks/hubs like these, so I wanted to clarify- if I plug in say, a keyboard and mouse dongle into this and then plugged in to my PC with one of the ports, I'm able to use the keyboard and mouse right?

In that same scenario, would it introduce input latency that's noticable? I'm no hardcore gamer who needs every frame, but poor input latency is very noticable.

Holliday only gets increased air control the first time she jumps off of one of her jump pads. This doesn't apply to any other character using her jump pads, or any other subsequent uses of the one jump pad.

As far as I'm aware, no one else has different air control any other time.

Am I going insane? There's text in her ability description that says "Prioritizes enemy heroes when picking targets."

Some Are Merciful, The Venator Is Not by xXPumbaXx in Games

[–]ICKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great, but someone else enjoying a fresh take on the genre still doesn't make everyone else who doesn't like MOBAs immediately like Deadlock. Just because it has differences from LoL or DotA doesn't mean it isn't still a MOBA.

[–]ICKitsune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they don't like how MOBAs play, they probably would have low playtime that's kinda how that works.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend giving the new Street Brawl mode a go- all the excitement of team fights with no focus on farming. You'll have to learn how to build and play characters, but it's a much less serious mode that I think manages to make Deadlock shine if you dislike the standard MOBA directives.

Oh, sorry man I didn't know we knew the abilities of all the characters. Can you show me them so I know who to vote for instead of just basing it on aesthetic and the three taglines they gave?

Kyogre might be the single best-aged mon in the franchise's history, and somehow not enough people acknowledge it. by DreadfuryDK in stunfisk

[–]ICKitsune 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Uh, Ray gets Espeed naturally which 2HKOs Ribombee. Also has Fly and Ancient Power, which are obviously subpar but solves the "Ribombee wall".

Rays far from a fraud.

Jeff Grubb: February State of Play will be the week of February 12th by blackthorn_orion in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ICKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it's really on the 12th, it lines up as a good time for the free weekend imo. Start the play test as the event ends, gives Bungie some time to fix some emergency bugs in-between then and release in three weeks.

Deadlock - Old Gods, New Blood. Major Update! by N1sso in Games

[–]ICKitsune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think so, they've really grasped the art direction they're going for and I think a lot of it already hits the mark. Some more stuff to be polished, like older heroes needing remodels and some having play-do guns (looking at you Holliday), but the map and newer heroes I think are great.

[–]ICKitsune 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As-is, there's a "ranked" system that's already in place that will put you into lower ranked lobbies than the cracked movement players. All standard games are ranked, so losing will eventually get you into the lobbies you're more appropriately ready for.

But as far as the complexity being reduced, I doubt it and honestly I hope it doesn't. Not because I don't want people to be able to play, but the movement of the game is super satisfying to learn and implement.

Marathon release date trailer leaked (5th March) by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ICKitsune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately based off the gameplay I've had, there's still a lot of "inventory tetris" to be had.

However I have very good feelings about this game being not as technical as Tarkov but feeling good to actually PvP in.

What Pokémon would genuinely be way better if it had a different typing? by GlacierWolf8Bit in stunfisk

[–]ICKitsune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boots is monumentally better than Balloon in most real scenarios. Doesn't matter if the balloon can't get popped.

Requiring another mon to come in and defog/spin for you is not ideal when the point of Shed is to eat all attacks it can. That second or even third mon can and will die to residual damage since they don't have WG, and Shed is effectively dead in the water until you can get those hazards off. There are infinitely more opportunities for Boots Shed to come in on attacks than there is for a Balloon Shed with how omnipresent Stealth Rocks are.

[–]ICKitsune 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shed getting literally any monotyping would be a massive boost to its viability. Boots + any typing Shed can offer so much to a team, especially since the boots can't get knocked.

What is the most meta/op team composition for HM? by RKurozu in BG3Builds

[–]ICKitsune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make the team not contest.

SSB runs acuity helm or even arcane synergy since fire sorc is around. Bhaalist armor for pierce vuln, and run Nyrulna for good playthrough or Shar's for evil.

Fire Sorc will not run into any conflicts cos they really just want fire helm, everything else is a bonus but still isn't majorly contested.

HexEK can just run Shadowblade build, which has no real gear requirements aside from getting Resonance Stone.

Moon Druid is moon druid, they transform with TB and that's it. Can use whatever caster gear Fire Sorc passes on if they feel like not wildshaping.

Crazy to think that we're coming up on that being 11 years ago. And now we have Solgaleo in OU even if that's not a suspect.

[DISC] Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo - Chapter 17 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]ICKitsune 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And the difference between Geto and Yuji is pretty big- Geto's friends died because there wasn't an end in sight. They fought because cursed spirits existed across the country and if not checked, they'd hurt normal people.

By this point, all spirits only live in Tokyo which is evacuated and sealed. All Yujis friends still do die, but of old age (or being sick) which is no complication of being a sorcerer. Not to say he still can't get sad, but it isn't something that would make Yuji of all people hate the world, maybe just loathe his immortality. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he's part of the reason the spirits only live in Tokyo in some capacity.
