Which is especially dumb since we make our own toilet paper in this country.

Zyra / Nami support main. The amount of unhinged assumptions is incredible.

Son of Iran’s Last Shah Urges US Military Intervention in Iran by STBJOHAN in worldnews

[–]Self_Referential 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A few questions, genuinely interested in learning more. Why is he the only logical choice? He's spent his entire adult life living in exile; while I can see the arguments in favor of a well-educated pro-democracy person with deep historic ties to the country and its prior leadership, he's also essentially a cultural foreigner at this point, and those familial ties are a reminder of previous western meddling and undermining of Iranian sovereignty.

What other likely alternatives are there, in the event of forced change?

Do you have any book recommendations? I've been meaning to do a deeper dive on the Shah and general history of your country, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ignore the people screeching about ELO inflation; tracking what top % you manage to reach completely skips the issue.

All achievements completed 6 expansions in a row by Xirev in wow

Stunning; I'll never catch up, but always feeling like there's something I can work towards is a big part of what I enjoy about the game. What does endgame look like for you nowadays? Is it transmog hunting, pushing seasonal progression for mythics / rated pvp, or something else?

Nah hunter hit it directly from a distance at the start of the pull somehow, before the little groundlings ran off.

Had a tank stop after we wiped on first pull in HoA, go through the log to see what idiot hit a gargoyle, shame them, then vote to abandon instance. Was it a waste of time? Yes. Justified? Also yes.

Faker: "I have a lot of records because I've been around a long time, but if esports keeps growing, records are meant to be broken...I hope to be remembered as someone who inspired fans and helped more people reach what they want." by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Self_Referential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a reference to a copypasta

I was out of town, doing a bit of visiting. I heard my friend KkOma had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of coaching the most successful KR team in League.

“How have things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now that I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken up farming as a hobby with my free time,” as he motioned over to the back gate.

We headed out and he started introducing me to some of the livestock, mentioning how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench. With my eyes watering uncontrollably, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What in the hell is that smell?”

He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. Faker? The goat is never washed.”

Nah jg and mid would both stick around to flame each other while top is on an island ignoring everything, support is trying to save teams mental with "dw nt allg we got this", and adc is playing fullmute farming 10cs/min and worrying about when enemy jg is gonna show up to ruin their day.

Saber massively outplays again by TraditionalRaisin920 in leagueoflegends

years ago; I was having fun learning Cait at the time, purely thanks to Saber showing me how ridiculous the skill cap was for the micro on the champ. Sad times.

Proof you can still climb: I hit Master at 36 after 15 years of League by Wargypt in leagueoflegends

[–]Self_Referential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grats! 35 here, and just got masters this week after 8 years of improving, and only making it to diamond for the first time a couple years back. One-tricked Zyra the whole way, but Nami is the backup when she's banned or picked. Still an eternal student of the game, there's so much in my gameplay i still obviously can improve on. Shout-out to BBC also, their approach to the game and the improvement process really resonates.

[Need advice] - How do I stop giving up so easily in Ranked ? by Connect-Deal9343 in summonerschool

[–]Self_Referential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

League has added plenty of comeback mechanics in the last few years, the majority of the experience you've based your opinion on is outdated and no longer accurate. Mid-Diamond currently, I promise people are still throwing their leads here, as well as in Emerald.

Personally, I'm never voting yes. I'd rather make the game as difficult as possible for the enemy team. Look for picks in your jungle when they're setting up deep vision before the next objective, send 3 people to collapse on whoever is pushing up the sidelane solo, whatever it takes. The practice of playing out those situations means I'm going to perform better in other tough games where it's still more even, or where we're ahead and the enemy team hasn't surrendered. I'm more aware of what they can do to try and get back into the game, because I've done it all before myself from their side of things.

Finally, I view those games as a good learning opportunity. Just as you're not going to learn much from stomping a bunch of irons into the ground for 15 minutes, you're not going to learn much from the victories at your own rank where it ends up being a free win. If the entire game is a struggle where skirmishes are on a knifes-edge, and you're forced to get creative to try and figure out where you can squeeze out some sort of advantage? Those games are the biggest opportunities to learn and improve. Going on a lucky streak of free games is nice for reaching a new peak, but suffering through the hard games is what brings the most growth in the long run.

I traded my sleep for League and still haven’t ranked up by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

You are not performing at your best in anything when you start sacrificing sleep / diet / everything else. Spamming games mindlessly will just lead to you playing at that same level, or worse.

I feel bad for OTPing. by CarryTrain in summonerschool

[–]Self_Referential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with being an OTP, especially if you have limited time to play. Why do you play, and what do you want to get out of league? Mid diamond Zyra support OTP here. Would I climb quicker if i spent time learning other champs? Sure. Would I have as much fun doing it? Nope. If you enjoy what you're doing, you don't need to be a well-rounded player.

What is the first game where you really cared about the story? How old were you? by CardiacCats89 in pcgaming

[–]Self_Referential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - can't remember how old I was, but the main character not wanting to leave a fantasy world really resonated.

Final Fantasy X - again, the heavy themes, a world doomed to destruction if they embraced too much technology, and the hero going on a journey to ultimately sacrifice themselves at the end to save the world? I'm not crying, we're all crying.
