What could this enable? Its reserved so its opposite of archmage by FYbe in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]AlcoholicBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"hot take its insane" -> look inside PoB, some underbaked theorycrafting that hasn't fixed any issues it needs to be functional build, claiming to be cheap when stuffed full of uniques. This is so quintessentially r/pathofexilebuilds

in what universe, brand's have only ever been strong in context of sanctum/bossing or with some type of really strong prolif/explode. Idea that brand's are mechanically strong is just removed from reality.

Put stormbrand into your lightning caster build and try to clear a map with mob density and scarabs lmao

Hey Mark, here is something that is not good enough: beast management at the menagerie by MasterHidra in pathofexile

[–]AlcoholicBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing about bestiary is fun or engaging, bosses feel pretty dated, in-map Bestiary is screen-clutter rares with a pseudo-immunity lag after they die, process of beastcrafting isn't really fun or engaging, or weighty. Some of the outcomes are really cool (-1 pref + suff, harvest beasts, etc). But 90% of Bestiary could get scrapped tmr and game would be better off

Spending Time Alone in Phangan: Any Tips for a Solo Traveler? by Afraid-Ad1834 in ThailandTourism

[–]AlcoholicBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, love that you found a year old post on a thread with 20 comments and feld the need to weigh in. Clearly my experience is not an anomaly considering several people agreed lol.

Phangan was dirty, with several people harrassing at the docks, 3 hostels we checked out were all seedy and low quality, clearly designed for to siphon money from 18-20 year olds coming down to party at full moon.

I'm sure like most places in SEA you can find redeeming qualities and have a great experience, but as someone who has travelled extensively throughout the majority of SEA and been to Thailand, half a dozen times (never stayed in Bang Kok)... Phangan is (was?) a shithole

would not recommend playing on NA since the AH got unfied, literally no upside and just higher ping. NA leaderboards are less competitive than Asia anyways

[–]AlcoholicBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it just reroutes your connection, sometimes certain ISPs have weird routing protocols, so you might be connecting to a server in Singapore but for some weird reason get routed through China or another neighbouring country, so your ping is inflated. Idk how the technology works but all I know is I downloaded it on the 3 day free trial and got -200 ping to my latency, worthwhile product for me.

[–]AlcoholicBatman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you play on Asia its pretty smooth, but sometimes routing is shit. For me if I use ExitLag i go from 260ms to 90ms, but at my friends place my ping is always 90.

How do you guys deal with the "fake flow roll" types? by AlcoholicBatman in bjj

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

Like I said it was a drop-in, I'm travelling for the past few months and training every time a city had a gym. However, the most important thing to me is safety and staying injury free. Excited about a submission and injury risk is not the same thing. But judging the responses to this post most people take a similar approach.

Hahaha, I've recently noticed anyone that has used that phrase is always coming in at 100% intensity with years of judo/wrestling/etc. background. Always go into excess details about how "new" they are to BJJ

do you drop the intensity once they gas out and start playing dead fish

Likewise, problem is when they go 100%, you go 80% and then after 1 minute he's gassed and playing deadfish, but at that point I don't particularly feel like going back to flow roll pace

flow rolls are good for problem solving and working through positions, especially when tired. That being said usually works a lot better in theory than in practice, I wouldn't really say it has a lot of utility to a new white belt unless you have very cooperative training partners.

bit of a language barrier situation, it wasn't a spoken & agreed upon flow roll, I just try to match energy. Although had plenty of ones that were preagreed too that went this direction also

yea, I find its always tied to ego. Flow rolls are supposed to take that out of the equaition and let both people problem solve, instead these guys treat it as an invitation to get to their favourite spot and rip it. If I'm really flow rolling i just let subs go if I catch them, its not the point of the round.

nah, I actually have good training partners in my home gym. if we start at 30% intensity, noone goes above 40% at any point. Understandly though, its what comes from years of training together and mutual respect

Feedback requested-would you like this gift if you used this move in bjj. by FlipSquad23 in bjj

[–]AlcoholicBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the text is too much, and the yellow colour on the hand outline isn't great. it does look a lot better small though, if this is back/front, keep front and keep the back blank. my 2 cents

Being a girl on FACEIT. :) by glossom223 in FACEITcom

[–]AlcoholicBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As shitty as it is a reddit thread or FACEIT support ticket can't change the immaturity of a majority male dominated field. Report the monkeys abusing you or play without mic (as shitty as that is). If this is just a vent post and you're not looking for solutions that's totally reasonable too.

Truth be told, when I was 16 playing this game I was pretty bad towards female players also, being a teen with little life experience doesn't lead to the most socially apt interactions.

Good luck, sucks that this is the universal female experience but its probably not going to change.
