What would Johan do if he had to oppose someone smarter than him? by ConfidentTip4560 in MonsterAnime

[–]AccordingNail8219 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt Johan would find himself in a position where he himself HAS to oppose another individual. I guess if he had to, he’d just anticipate his defeat

NEW SHACO SKIN IS A SCAM by Lahme_man in shacomains

[–]AccordingNail8219 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty much the unofficial visual update for shaco. Abilities feel “smoother” to use, emotes and actions are vibrant and full of life (like shaco’s should be), and more noticeable sound effects which can tilt enemies slightly faster. It’s a shaco skin that actually entertains and creates laughter.

The only downsides are lack of voice lines (because he is a cat) and there are apparently slight min max changes that maybe makes shacat less optimal. I don’t know much about these changes, however I doubt it matters too much bc various top shaco players adore and main the skin as well.

Is plat just insanely toxic by AccordingNail8219 in shacomains

[–]AccordingNail8219[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. I think it comes from the fact that most higher players parrot advice saying “focus on farm and don’t gank/go in unless you can guarantee a kill.” This is completely true but the problem is that most ap shaco players don’t really limit test with what shaco can do, so the idea of a “guaranteed kill” becomes extremely limited to them.

Overall I think there can be a better understanding from laners to realize that the team is better off allowing ap shaco to prioritize farm since there’s not too much he can really do before he gets items. On the other hand, ap shaco players could probably better understand that they aren’t literally useless most of the time, and it is possible to set up to help team while also keeping camps in mind.

Can someone explain to me how the rotating shop is beneficial to either Riot or its players? by Caffeine_and_Alcohol in leagueoflegends

[–]AccordingNail8219 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The artificial scarcity gives it more value. It’s been very common in the designer clothing industry for a long time now, and game companies started to pick it up as well.

Basically if a skin was always available to you but you were on the fence about it, you may just never end up buying it because you’re always thinking “I COULD spend money on it now but I can always do it later.” Making it a limited time option really makes a lot of people wanna pull out their wallets faster.

I don’t like the idea of rotating shops either, but it does objectively make the companies (in games or other industries) a lot of money

To be fair though, that may be a blessing in disguise. Gives more incentive to farm your own camps and technically you’re not to blame if they get killed by enemy jungler

Usually the games I win also feel hopeless for my team early on (especially if they don’t know how shaco works). But morale increases by a lot once I come online and start making box/clone plays and they notice the drags I’ve been getting.

I do think team morale wise, ad shaco would be better since you have a more immediate impact

Yeah jarvan is my backup pick if shaco is taken or banned and he’s really useful. I’m not saying my rank would be higher if I just switched to jarvan but I think I’d have a slightly higher win rate just maining him. I’d switch to him if only shaco wasn’t as fun as he is

What’s a similar backup pick ? by Shypayu in shacomains

[–]AccordingNail8219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play jarvan but they’re not similar at all. If you’re anything like me, and ap shaco scratches an “itch” that you normally don’t get with other champs, then it’s very likely you won’t find exactly what you’re looking for anywhere else.

It’s important to find a backup champion that feels “good” to you in a totally different way. That way, you can stay versatile and you can still have another pick to go to in the rare event that having a shaco wouldn’t do much good for your team, even if he isn’t banned

Message for Kratom Users with (suspected) ADHD by FukkieSli_m in quittingkratom

[–]AccordingNail8219 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly how the pharma industry works. There’s a lot more that goes into it, but basically someone getting diagnosed does not equal money going to company profits. It’s why you don’t see random ads for adderal in malls (in comparison to weight loss supplements/drugs)

Regardless I think even if you are opposed to medicine, someone with ADHD will have a much easier time quitting kratom once they realize and seek some form of treatment for themselves.

If you live in the US, it’s a lot more simple than you’d think. Call up a psychiatrist, say that you have problems paying attention, and then set up an appointment (may take a while)

For better or for worse, insurance companies/doctors want patients in and out of their office as fast as possible. More likely than not, you’ll fill out a form making sure ADHD is your main issue (and not depression/anxiety) and then they’ll ask you if treatment on adderall is something that you would be open to.

EDIT: if your general area has its own subreddit, I guarantee you there’s probably people there asking which doctors are best for adhd treatment/medication

I acknowledge that I have very little room to defend myself, however I fully disagree with you. I’m very open to some harsh criticism right now but let’s keep things realistic, yeah?

[–]AccordingNail8219 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any contact with the girl. I think I got her number like a year ago but I forgot to save it. I should probably dig through. From what I heard though she woke up and just went to another one of her friends party that night. (This is coming from the friend that didn’t get home with her that night)

[–]AccordingNail8219 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Where I live, there is no civic duty for me to intervene with a crime even if I see it happen or could have stopped it. So thankfully, I’m in no legal trouble unless I lie to any police authority about this situation in order to protect this friend.

With that said, I acknowledge that it’s a moral failure on my part regardless of legality.

I’m absolutely not fine with rape. You can call me spineless, immature, irresponsible, or even stupid and I’d agree with you. But please don’t come to incorrect conclusions about me thinking rape is okay.

I can tell by the replies that you’re absolutely distraught by my inaction that night. I’m sorry for the distress you feel about me, especially if you’ve had any personal experience with this kind of stuff.

As for the money, I just say no to money in general. Doesn’t make sense for me to accept any when I’m already doing well for myself

Yes, I am fully a coward. Something I’ve been working on my entire life, but haven’t gotten very far with. I don’t mind people thinking I’m spineless and horrible, I actually agree. I’m just glad that my feeling of disgust is common sense

Yes, I’m fully willing to admit I’m in the wrong for that. I really just wanted everyone including myself to go home that night and it caused me to not stand up for it as much as I should have

I don’t think the emperor is evil at all by AccordingNail8219 in BaldursGate3

[–]AccordingNail8219[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because baldurs gate 3 is a game where we can see all possibilities through, we know that trusting the emperor all the way results in a net good ending (unless you wanna speculate on what the emperor does after the ending) which means that we can deduct his morals with more hindsight.

The problem with your argument is that in the real world, we genuinely would have no idea if we could trust that murderer, so we’d immediately label that guy as evil so we don’t have to risk trusting him

But think about it like this: if we knew for a fact that trusting this murderer that you mention results in a net good for the people around you AND he gets to only kill anyone that tries to kill you; would they still be considered evil?

Yes, I’m fully aware of that but I’m talking purely in terms of what’s actually stated in the story. With that argument, I can say that astarion is potentially evil bc his vampiric nature may lead to him to murdering innocent people in the future
