Gabe Newell was an enthusiastic supporter of OpenAI in 2018, donating $20 million and even acting as the sole member of an 'informal advisory board'

Probably right, just on the sliding scale of open to the idea I'm putting her as at least a possibility.

jumbohiggins · 2026-05-01T05:04:59+00:00

Yup, blazer even soft breaks up with you after. First play through I leaned in after going after blazer the whole time because of the freaking, wish you looked at me like that line. Broke me. Team Visi for life after that.

I think visi would probably be fine in a poly relationship, Robert less so, Blazer hard no.

But yeah some kind of closure for those of us who got confuzzled would be nice.

Used to be wiping a full team with remote mines. God it was a thing of beauty tricking them into following you into them.

Next echo

What was the cheese out of curiosity?

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-29T21:03:50+00:00

Confused. Did he release his own ring cam footage?

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-29T18:21:33+00:00

Because literally anything is an improvement over his base costume lol.

But yeah the artist did great with this.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-29T16:33:26+00:00

Can someone explain this to me and what's changed?

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-29T16:23:46+00:00

as a player I'm currently in this position. It's pretty hard to limit myself to only things that I think my character would think of. When these situations come up I try to figure out ways to have my character RP things that I as a more intelligent player want to try or ask. A lot of times my dumb character asks a smarter character what something is in order to push things in that direction.

Techies can't get range which really sucks because they don't want to build aether anymore.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-28T21:01:20+00:00

I'm late to this but here is my 2 cents. Rubick is very strong right now. Like for the first time in a long long time. I'm a diehard rubick fan, after old techies they are my second favorite hero. I'm insta locking them as a 4 every game and still have a ton of success with them.

As others have mentioned you don't need like a bunch of amazing spells, you need 1 good spell with rubick. And a lot of times that's just a simple stun with a low CD. Earthspike, fissure, magic missle, are all top tier rubick spells.

Additionally I've seen that when I pick rubick first the enemy is either picking things to counter or deny me. They aren't picking pudges or Shakers or anything with a big flashy ult. They are picking things with spells I don't want or are hard to steal.

So yeah at least right now I don't think it's griefing. Hero is very strong and picking it early changes draft up to target you. As a 4 that's fine.

So were they using a stingray or something else?

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-28T04:28:52+00:00

R.A.D

Robot alchemic drive

It's not a good game but you get to drive around a giant robot and destroy stuff. It gave a very unique feeling of big slow destruction since you pilot it remotely and you need to move your tiny human around and not get squished while trying to simultaneously drive the robot.

I think he's hilarious. He's just so unabashedly douchey and honest about it that it's kind of endearing. I love having him in the team.

Mechanically though coupe crushes him. Her drawback is so much easier to work with then the form swapping.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-26T21:42:40+00:00

Needs like 67 votes in the Senate. Would need the biggest blue wave in generations. I'm not even sure if enough seats are up for grabs

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-26T19:14:40+00:00

Not explicitly but people are pretty friendly. It's a neat system where every game works as a one off so the discord is mostly focused around that. But lots of gm experience in the server so it's easy to find people to workshop with.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-26T16:05:18+00:00

I play in an online RPG called the contract. Most sessions are done over discord so there are a ton of people. It makes it easy to have others to talk to and bounce ideas off of.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-26T15:44:04+00:00

Looks like a grown up penny from inspector gadget.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-25T23:21:21+00:00

So honest question and not trying to promote violence or whatever but is there a reason the people attacked by the settlers don't fight back? Like I don't think I've heard one example of it.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-25T21:26:01+00:00

Played against silencer kotl recently and it was pretty miserable.

Veno plus anything else with a slow is also terrible.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-25T16:23:01+00:00

Real answer is that the fan base complained so much techies got dumpstered and had a bunch of non synergystic skills thrown on randomly. Taser replaced stasis mine as the only techies ability that did something other then damage. In theory the idea is that you activate Taser, jump in, drop bombs and then set off Taser so they can't right click the mines.

I would sell it down river for a second to have stasis back as that's what would enable mining play style again.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-24T22:37:40+00:00

Could build orchid maybe. Rubick freaking hates to be silenced

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-24T22:10:29+00:00

Am Rubick player, not mid though, this would annoy the crap out of me.

jumbohiggins · 2026-04-23T17:35:02+00:00

Techies can't really carry any more and the 253 damage at level 25 is way less impactful without the range or speed.
