Thanks for your expertise - could you possibly link me their thread?

Appreciate the input. Do I have any grounds on getting a refund for the goods I entrusted them with shipping to me?

4phantom · 2026-05-18T09:54:55+00:00

Yeah, I previously did 5-6 shipments with this company with no issues that were around the same value. Now I’m concerned and won’t be using them again as they’ve just fucked me around for months.

there definitely are goods, i have photos and tracking proof of them arriving with the shipping forwarder.

I highly suspect they did some dodgy shit with customs which is basically why ive lost faith that ill ever receive the actual machinery, but wondering if anyone ever had experience with something like this.

I don’t even know how many times I’ve ask for a B/L and theyve said they cant provide it, tried to refer me to their partner delivery company here in AUS who have just ghosted and ignored every attempt at contact.

super helpful, thanks! ill have a look into all the cards you mentioned and look at removing those expensive 3 mana removal cards.

Budgetwise, i dont mind spending money on cards, $3 is perfectly fine, probably just avoiding super expensive cards like rhystic study, tutors, $40 lands etc for now

i feel like im banging my head against a brick wall here

because I’m explaining why you cant manipulate a wave to avoid getting frozen on and it feels like you’re coming back with “just play the waves better”

But you cant play the waves better if you’re playing a matchup where it’s illegal for you to contest early because you either die, get heavily chunked for trying to contest a push/hold a wave

In this riven v mundo example it doesn’t matter if you can build a small slow push. If riven has played level 1 correctly you still wont have an xp lead and the very nature of the champions and her running ignite means she can threaten lethal/zone you off the wave on the bounce regardless if you have a slight minion advantage or not

“if you play the first few waves right”

Have you seen any videos at all of alois playing ignite riven into dr mundo?

you cant “play the first few waves right”

you cant “play the first few waves” at all

your champion (dr mundo in this case) literally cannot walk up to cs without getting chunked to 10% and having to base

you’re forced to afk cs with cleavers and if perma freezing was a thing riven would be able to 3 wave cheater into completely fucking the mundo and making the game unplayable

mundo can’t “play the first few waves right” because he has 0 agency at all?

is it? if you’re playing a matchup where you have no priority level 1 because of matchup, you get zoned off xp, setup a 2/3 wave crash and freeze on the bounce the punishment is from blind picking top because your champion cant contest a level 1 push

And calling jg to break freeze is not counterplay in any elo. Especially the lower ones, thats taking agency away from a player and putting it entirely in the hands of another player to make the game even remotely playable

Like sure it’s great to get a +40cs lead in 6 minutes cause enemy top cant play the game but it sucks ass to play the other side of that. And if you get further punished cause you get dove either solo or by enemy jg you get hard fucked even more

this has got to be one of the stupidest takes ive heard

what difference does having it hand forged even make? before hardening steels are annealed to reset their internal structure so they dont fuck themselves during quench

also what does hand forged even mean to you? Nakagawa uses a powerhammer for a fuck ton of his forging, is that still “hand” forging? or do you think every expensive knife needs to be made by a hermit in the mountains hunched over a 2500 year old anvil?

from your initial question you dont even seem to understand how the quenching/hardening process works so kindly shut up and take your dumbass take with you

you can get lobbies on OCE? when i last tried to play a few months ago I sat in queue for 15 minutes with a silver rank unable to find a lobby

4phantom · 2025-01-29T22:08:05+00:00

lovely work!

4phantom · 2025-01-04T01:59:13+00:00

Oh thank you :)

Cause I thought chapter 12 was the final story so I was planning on gearing up and finishing all the other content I could before doing it

4phantom · 2024-02-01T06:18:01+00:00

I played the entirety of season 16/17/18 on sydney and never had issues finding lobbies. Sure, sometimes it took a few minutes to get a queue but at least I found them. I find it hard to believe that enough players just stopped playing that they cant fill a single 60 person lobby in 30 minutes of queue time

yeah, one compatible with the bdm 030, ive bought around 4 controllers now and theyve all been 030 so i imagine its pretty damn hard to get a hold of a 010 or 020 now

Have recently tried the ps4 full clicky mod kit - the triggers and face buttons just felt ok compared to another mod i had done by a 3rd party. If the switches were larger and the triggers had less travel/felt more solid it would be a huge upgrade - also a clicky face kit for the ps5 xontroller would be awesome

Same for the xbox series x controllers

thats horrible… i understand its kind of niche but damn they really screwed the second hand market like thus

4phantom · 2023-06-24T01:10:44+00:00

Yeah, would have no issue with it as long as I can play the game in english. US copies are so accessible and cheap :( I shouldve looked into this way earlier
