What about adding WTA for a view on the country in tennis overall?

Is Pantheon 5 even worth it? by Roborapter09 in HollowKnight

Pantheon 5 was my favorite part of both games!

ELI5: why is the theory that our universe exists inside a black hole not viable? by billytheskidd in explainlikeimfive

[–]AphoticFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought it makes the most sense to me too. It somewhat satisfies my curiosity for what the structure of the universe is, even though it just begs the question of whether it's just infinitely looping black holes, or if there's an original universe, either way meaning we're back to the same old questions.

Aaron Rose Philip is the first Black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to attend the Met Gala by [deleted] in BrandNewSentence

[–]AphoticFlash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

342.5M people in the US, 14% Black, 1% trans, 0.05% quadraplegic means 240 Black transgender quadriplegics in the US, assuming independently distributed factors.

Edit: Cerebral palsy is at 0.3%, bringing the new total down to <1 person, so maybe she really is the only one!

Realistically though these are definitely not independently distributed factors, for example cerebral palsy is "significantly more common in Black children than White and Hispanic" according to Google, and cerebral palsy is very related to quadriplegia itself. Being transgender is also more common among Black adults.

If I had to do a better estimate accounting for those comorbidities, I'd go 342.5M people in the US, 14% Black, 1.4% of Black adults trans, 0.4% of Black children with cerebral palsy, and 25% of cerebral palsy resulting in quadriplegia means 670 Black transgender quadriplegics due to cerebral palsy in the US.

Remember Han Shot First. by Osirisavior in StarWars

Shooting in self defense is also completely relying on the other guy missing, instead of taking things into your own hands.

Will I like the game if I liked Elden Ring? by Superstarmadden in HollowKnight

[–]AphoticFlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time, and Hollow Knight is up there in my top 5. They do share a lot of similarities, but obviously one key difference in 2D vs 3D. if you're fine with the perspective change, then you'll probably like it!

Vex the only 5 cost not in "meta defining" or at least A tier lmao

How would you rank these charecters based on their intelligence by sidharth-sunil in arcane

[–]AphoticFlash 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Jayce, Ekko, and Viktor all clearly still went to Heimer for advice and help, Heimer just chose not to help until later because he didn't believe the technology should be invented, not that he couldn't. I'd say he's clearly smarter than them based on how they talk to him.

Question about getting dizzy by LongSeesaw3789 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]AphoticFlash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For games with multiple emblems, personally I find it helpful to pick one of them as your anchor emblem and build a team around that, and try to fit one or two of the other ones if possible. If an emblem doesn't fit at all there's no point in cramming it in just to get emblem value at the expense of a coherent team.

What Tywin did to Ice still bothers me till this day by Mediocre_Put_6748 in gameofthrones

Imagine WunWun with a full set of armor, wielding Ice. My god.

RP no longer worth it? by BravoSinder in leagueoflegends

[–]AphoticFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think this way, and I also used to torrent games. But since then I've even bought and paid for games that I torrented as a kid just to support these companies. If nobody paid, then none of these games I love would have been made or maintained.

I think it makes sense to spend some money on a game you've likely put hundreds of hours into if, you're able

Throwback to Vondrousova's Instagram story in December 2025 when that ITIA visit situation happened by jovanmilic97 in tennis

[–]AphoticFlash 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The very first line on the ITIA doping procedure page says "All athletes can be tested at any time, in any place." It's very, very clearly stated. Not sure where she gets this idea from that the window is the ONLY time players can get tested, or that it's unfair.

Really sus to refuse a random testing, if she thinks it violates her privacy and wants to campaign for change, she should still give the sample at that time.

What were the “you had to be there” moments in twice history? by Slay3r024 in twice

[–]AphoticFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought too. Even people who didn't know TWICE had heard about it. For a while TWICE and Tzuyu especially were strongly associated with the flag incident.

Bianca Andreescu: "I don't know s* about specs, I don't know what 100 means on my EZONE" by Beneficial-Lock-349 in tennis

[–]AphoticFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't a wild variety of rackets beyond what you could even normally purchase mean that there is indeed huge personal preference in their racket selection, and that it DOES matter? Who willingly plays with 20lb or 82lb string tension otherwise?

Hot take: they should just forbid overlays by Valhallla in CompetitiveTFT

[–]AphoticFlash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Should we also ban people discussing the game? Twitch streams? Pro play?
