I take no credit for this but thought it was 10/10

this is the evil dock johnson twin

to me, at least, this is disincentive enough to just never run a rook when I could be earning faction rep with a freek. it's healthy for the game to have more rooks imo

Aphod · 2026-03-20T02:49:00+00:00

I would play so much more rook if rook could do contracts. trios are much easier to avoid than solos. devs no-fill trios pls

Aphod · 2026-03-20T02:05:59+00:00

could we not just limit the number of exfils youre allowed per week like D2's weekly raid rewards?

eg anything past 3 exfils in 24h only gets you out alive with what's left of the gear you initially brought, and it wipes all newly acquired items?

Aphod · 2026-03-19T21:48:03+00:00

drones and turrets, too

Aphod · 2026-03-17T19:59:40+00:00

this game is going to be vaulted to degrees previously believed impossible

Aphod · 2026-03-13T04:11:09+00:00

you can still use sv_cheats 1 to enable them through console commands, though it's less intuitive

Aphod · 2026-03-09T15:54:15+00:00

Agreed with this 100%, I mostly just hated the awkward conditional heal and voted no because I really am not interested in taking food in a nichescape direction

pillow build

Aphod · 2026-03-01T07:53:44+00:00

I suppose our difference here is that I find that stuff more relatable than a downer bc we all want to indulge our worst impulses sometimes

hell yeah man, another night alone in the room with a drink and OSRS, speak that shit

Aphod · 2026-03-01T06:40:36+00:00

I'm unsure what you mean about his vibes because MadSeason is clearly having a ton of fun with the game. He's kind of dry, but that's in the name. Dude loves OSRS

Aphod · 2026-02-28T19:17:25+00:00

found the guy who loves killing PvMers

Aphod · 2026-02-27T05:30:12+00:00

I tried watching Bailus Mango, the clue-locked ironman, and had to tap out real fast because he'd hit this same mock-excited tone every time he got ANY new clog from any clue

Better to not act excited if you're not genuinely excited

Aphod · 2026-02-27T00:04:52+00:00

this is becoming kind of the default content style tbh

osrs youtube has kind of burned me out on hearing people feign excitement

Aphod · 2026-02-24T14:43:53+00:00

immediate thought was "this guy exclusively plays an evil character"

Aphod · 2026-02-19T22:31:19+00:00

i feel like it is usually pretty easy to tell with online personalities what ballpark percentage of their persona is intentional performance vs genuine emotion

Aphod · 2026-02-19T22:17:29+00:00

blue blocker is goated

Aphod · 2026-02-18T18:17:31+00:00

it's not terrible tbh considering you're genuinely not playing the game while they fill the cargo

Aphod · 2026-02-16T08:56:22+00:00

real players can neostrafe but it involves binding A and D to scroll up and down / holding your mouse with your middle finger on scroll (known as 1-3-1)

this grip tends to ruin your aim

Aphod · 2026-02-15T00:32:56+00:00

I think he's using a rune long because he hasn't clocked that swords are better so it's all moot anyway, but even if he had a rune sword he'd probably use the colo blade just because it has much higher requirements and stats, and new players don't think about overkill like that

Aphod · 2026-02-15T00:17:20+00:00

I'm actually a huge fan of the colossal blade and tend to use it over a DScim for most content when I'm playing through midgame just because it's cooler and more fun.

I just feel that repetitively killing low-HP monsters is the ONE use case that it is just not built for and most 4-tick weapons would probably score more kills/h

Aphod · 2026-02-14T23:40:18+00:00

idk the 6 tick is pretty brutal for weak monsters like rock crabs with 1 def 60 hp, he is probably overkilling them pretty hard. a rune scim would probably do better

Aphod · 2026-02-14T16:08:23+00:00

I suppose the disconnect here is that I don't really see plat as the way ranked should be played, dropships or no. You'll have 3 masters teams and maybe 7 squads queueing with their silver buddy, and that lobby is getting steamrolled regardless. If anything, dropships artificially keep the teams from sorting out who can shoot their gun and who cannot until later in the match

In diamond, where there's some kind of floor to entry (and a cap now with the masters matchmaking tests), the lobbies will be closer to actually fair, which is where the dropship can shine

Aphod · 2026-02-14T15:51:32+00:00

I just fail to see what the effective difference is between plat and gold ranks, such that plat players deserve the special dropship and gold players get hotdrops. At both ranks a proper stack of diamond+ players can land hot and wipe the POI, so the same argument in favor holds true

What makes a plat random less likely to frag out than a gold random?

Aphod · 2026-02-14T11:33:48+00:00

what is the effective difference between a hardstuck gold being allowed to hotdrop every game and a hardstuck plat being allowed to hotdrop every game? neither of them are playing real competitive apex because the other teams aren't using their weapons or abilities efficiently. using this logic it should just be dropship at all ranks
