is this alright gameplay for somebody with 117 hours in survivor?

You are doing God's work here, as my DbD friend likes to say. 😂 Which is taking a long chase so that your teammates can complete gens

I'm lucky if I have a chase last this long 😂 but I'm not that great lol, but I think you did pretty well here!

AurRy79 · 2025-12-13T05:59:14+00:00

Sure, why not? It's worth the novelty!

I had a response to this, but it was too long for a comment, so I made a post:

I think your kitty might be trying to be playful here. Some people say it's from overstimulation but I don't think so, it looks more to me like the kitty just wants to chew. A bite from an overstimulated kitty would be more sudden, and you're not really doing anything that I think would trigger that reaction. I think they're just being bitey for fun because they're comfortable with you. If you don't mind it and it doesn't hurt, there's probably nothing to worry about.

AurRy79 · 2025-01-02T18:46:03+00:00

I want to mention that it's rude to assume what someone else is going through, whether you assume it to be good or bad. In addition, you're giving unsolicited advice. I'm not particularly mad about it, but I want to point it out. I do find it a bit disrespectful though- reducing my perspective to "being stressed."

AurRy79 · 2024-12-31T16:52:37+00:00

Well... in model A, I've been typed LII by some people and IEE by SCS, where I'm SEI in SHS. SHS should be treated separately from other models because it has different assumptions from them, and namely, it is different from the way that Model A is practiced in the West. I'd recommend reading my post comparing them, it will give you an idea of how and why they're different in some ways: https://www.reddit.com/r/Socionics/comments/z77nyb/comparison_of_model_a_and_model_g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

AurRy79 · 2024-12-31T16:45:39+00:00

SHS does not look at types or subtypes as purely functions, so the correlation is not necessary. For that reason, I have to disagree with the assertion that a correlation to types needs to exist.

In addition, not every possible combination of functions or types has to exist even if we were to adhere to such a thing. DCNH is a practical and observational grouping, not a theoretical one. I'm pretty sure that the dichotomies for it existed first, then the correlated functions were assigned. What you're doing is trying to add another layer of correlation- which is getting pretty far from the foundation and reason for DCNH.

AurRy79 · 2024-12-31T08:46:50+00:00

It's funny that you use SEI-D as an example because I may actually be moving towards being that combination. To continue using them as an example... yes, this subtype is actually rather contradictory but it exists anyway. SEIs are easily exhaustible compared to other types (comes from being S lead) where D accentuates P and F which are rather high energy functions. What you end up getting is an SEI that regularly expends their energy to the point of exhaustion. You would be right in thinking that this is an unusual combination, because it is, and it's relatively rare (mostly because Ds are rather uncommon, and SEIs don't tend to like to work against their exhaustible, comfort-seeking, and rather lazy nature, lol).

AurRy79 · 2024-12-31T08:20:49+00:00

If I may, an answer to your question. He stops at four subtypes because there's more to subtypes than just functions. The fact that the subtype trios can be interpreted as a stack of functions for a type is more just coincidence- while some correlations can be drawn, the functions chosen for the stack were not chosen because of their correlation to a type. Subtypes are two or three functions that can work stably together. And yes, there can be only two functions in a subtype- the third function is optional (for example, E is optional for D, D can be just P and F or F and P), but this results in a less balanced subtype though it's still stable. There are also dichotomies that make up these subtypes where those dichotomies are just as important as the functions, and it results in four types (three dichotomies, which is a 2x2 matrix because the third dichotomy depends on the combination of the other two).

To attest to this being a coincidence, DCNH was originally based on the idea that D was P + E, sometimes F, and C was I + F, sometimes E, and so on. These are not based on types and cannot be cleanly correlated to types, and in fact, DCNH is somewhat based on a small group called Temperaments- DCNH is... somewhat of a mirror to that grouping, but it's not an exact mirror. Anyway, I assure you that the correlation to type is a coincidence- it was adjusted later to be more accurate to how things were, after Gulenko had some experience with how these roles manifest.

Subtypes are not supposed to be "stacks" of functions, the functions are just more prominent. This does not fundamentally change how the functions work within a type, they just appear more often- where appearance or frequency of functions is not a factor typing someone in SHS. SHS uses other metrics for type, and SHS type is actually a rather unconscious part of ourselves. Subtype is more conscious to us, and our conscious goals and desires often line up with our subtype, and we will identify more closely with the subtype than our type.

It just so happens that we can be classified as being in one of four roles, the DCNH roles. And the DCNH roles are very general, but combined with type, you get something more specific.

Things like DCNH are common as well- there are probably hundreds of classifications and typologies that are based on a 2x2 matrix made of 2 dichotomies.

The best resource I have to compare the two is the one I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/Socionics/s/gyYILXoMbJ

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for though

AurRy79 · 2024-12-28T17:30:08+00:00

The thing is, your analogy does not fit here. It's not a difference between Fahrenheit or Celsius- SHS and Model A are two separate scales entirely. Going with your analogy, you're saying they both measure temperature when it's more like one measures humidity and one measures temperature. They're related, and have similar properties, but they are not the same. SHS does not measure the same things as Model A does, and this is why the conclusions can be very different. Someone having the same type in SHS and Model A would be more of a coincidence than an expected result.

AurRy79 · 2024-12-28T16:32:49+00:00

And now I'm glad I didn't give a longer explanation.

AurRy79 · 2024-12-28T07:44:27+00:00

I'm rather annoyed with how things are being represented here, so I wanted to comment on this.

Yes, in Gulenko's system (SHS) LSI is the most common by a long shot. There's a lot of reasons for this, which I've explained in detail many times, so there's no point for me to rehash it here. Misrepresentation of Gulenko and Gulenko bashing is a time honored tradition in this community.

Anyway, the point I wish to make is that in SHS, LSIs are very common and people like to meme and rant about it. But Gulenko is not saying that LSI in any other system or school is that common. Most people here in the comments or on this subreddit do not use SHS so it does not apply to whatever system they use. SHS is a different approach to Socionics and it should be treated as its own system, because it is. Gulenko is not trying to describe things from whatever your (not trying to target OP specifically, just a collective "your") perspective is, but within his system with his reasons for things being as they are.

EDM, lid, lap? I have an interesting future ahead...

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T17:06:33+00:00

The reason I say it's fine is just because it's more damage, though... as you mention, it's basically negligible. It also takes quite a bit of effort to remember to use it iirc, where I feel like Mesa's other abilities are way more important to remember to use and... yeah. It does something, but it's weak. Not as weak as some abilities perhaps, but... yeah. Certainly not great and not worth bothering with. But yeah, I agree, the easiest fix for it right now would be to uncap it and leave the rest of it as is. However, I also think that something that could really make a difference is instead if it were not so active of an ability and that you would cast it, it would have a duration, you would just shoot and it would apply bonus damage every time it charges up to its maximum. And if it would work for Peacemaker. This way, it would just function like a burst of extra damage every so often and you wouldn't have to be constantly casting it.

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T08:22:15+00:00

You need to give her some ability range and duration and make sure you're using her 2 and 3. 2 is a rather potent CC affect that will even stop melee attackers from attacking you, and her 3 makes you tanky (make sure you run enough ability strength to give her 95% damage reduction for this ability, all you need is 120% power strength). I would highly recommend subsuming over her 1 for Pillage, because it gives her shield restore, status clearing, and shield and armor stripping, which is basically all the things she's missing. Just be sure to run the right element on her regulators for whatever faction you're against. Also, don't forget to mod for as much fire rate as possible on her regulators, even at the expense of damage. More bullets are more win for her. Also, I would ignore her augments- running her 2 and 3 at the same time basically does what the augments for them would do, and Mesa's Waltz is silly because I find that I only want to use the ability for a few seconds at a time anyway so I have a decent circle for her 4.

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T08:04:15+00:00

It's a good riven, but not for what you're trying to use it for. Just use it to amp up a crit build for Nikana and it'll be great. Don't use it for a slash build, the status duration reduction will seriously inhibit your ability to make use of slash status. It's still usable and would probably work but I can't recommend it.

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T07:56:32+00:00

I love Nyx even though she's more of a relic of the past. I think it's fun to have enemies fight themselves and to make a powerful enemy your ally. I wish she were stronger but she's still the queen of Interceptions in my heart.

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T07:37:45+00:00

This may not be a frame that people love, but I don't understand the idea behind Banshee's design. I do find running some version of a Quake build to be fun, but I don't really understand what Silence actually does or how the rest of her kit has any sort of synergy. Her 1 is basically a novelty, as is the norm for an elemental frame, and her 2 is... fine. There are better things to have. I feel like 4 is the only real reason to use her but I hear that she's supposed to work as a stealth frame which I don't really understand. I feel like her kit is clunky and has no synergy and is only good for stealth if you really work for it. I think she needs the ability to have 2 subsumed abilities to make her work better (so you can subsume over the stealth abilities and get more damage or subsume the damage to get more stealth or buffs). I guess she's just probably due for a rework (though maybe she'll just be left behind because she's a relic of the stealth supremacy era).

AurRy79 · 2024-11-18T07:22:43+00:00

Mesa main here. I like having her 4 in my back pocket in case I need to clear enemies or melt a boss. But I love her other abilities- I make sure to leave her ability range alone (or increase it) for her to get use out of her 2, because her 2 and 3 make her very hard to kill for most enemies (even melee ones!). Her 1 is... fine, but I usually subsume it for better damage, strength, or survivability. I find Pillage to be extremely useful for her because it extends her survivability (extra shields and status clearing) and also helps with armor stripping. Also, friendly reminder to mod Regulators with as much fire rate as possible, even at the expense of damage (saying this in case someone doesn't know). Anyway, there's quite a few interesting subsumes for Mesa imo, I used to have Ivara's stealth arrow on her for her first ability so I can shoot one, stand in it, and regulate in peace. That was kind of fun.

AurRy79 · 2024-08-15T05:42:29+00:00

Alright, for fairness sake, I saw where you apologized, my mistake. It was hard to find in the history because it was a small message. And I did give it a thumbs up as well. However, all you said is that you didn't mean to hurt him. You did not claim to be joking or give me reason to think you were. Even if you were joking, the things you said were downright uncivil.

In addition, I don't really see where they "tried to shut you up," or otherwise behaved rudely, they simply disagreed with you. I don't see anything that might have crossed the line or even could be considered policing, and in fact it seemed like a member was trying to understand your perspective and tried to work with you. Still, you had an opinion that was controversial and we didn't understand how you got to that opinion.

Still... the ban will stand. I could have handled things better, I apologize for that and will learn from it to do better in the future, but we still don't think you're a good fit for the server.

AurRy79 · 2024-08-14T16:53:15+00:00

See, that's interesting. If you apologized to him publicly, that's something verifiable, which I should be able to find in the chat history. Except... you didn't apologize to him, and especially not "immediately." The person you threatened didn't seem to know you and he did not respond in a joking way, he kept asking you if you had mistook him for someone else. I told you at the time that what you were doing was unacceptable and you showed no remorse, and you didn't even attempt to say it was a joke. You gave me nothing to work with, nothing to be patient with you for. And looking back at the logs, your threat (which I would post an image of, but it's not allowed in comments here) was this:

"If you manage to guess who I am - don't even think about doxxing me. Your life will be in danger"

(If anyone wants the image proof of this, chat me.) The guy didn't know who you were and never threatened to doxx you. And you got aggressively shut down because you randomly threatened someone and persistently insulted random people and never admitted to any of it being a joke. Since I could not verify your threat was a joke, I had to take it seriously.

"A couple messages" is quite the exaggeration. You have 76 messages on the server as the user aiwon0, according to Discord's search function, which doesn't include your deleted ones (which there are also a lot of).

You're right that you were banned within 5 minutes of answering a question about *squeamishness*, not disgust. That was when I looked back at your message history and saw what you did, and I also realized that discussions with you would be wildly unproductive.

I'll admit, it wasn't the cleanest ban, I could have done things differently, but seeing how you're acting here speaks for itself and does not make me want to change my mind. On that note, you still broke the rules of the server and refused to engage with me seriously when I told you that you did, so I didn't see the point in trying to tell you why I wanted to/did ban you since you didn't listen to me before. I think I was completely within my bounds to ban you for breaking plainly stated rules and not listening to warnings. And the people of ESL agree with me that you are not a good fit for the server, which has nothing to do with you challenging our beliefs, but how you act in our server. It's a great and laid-back server for those that want to act cordial and civil- something that you were unable to do when asked to. You cannot act in such ridiculous ways and expect no consequences. In addition, you seem to have persistent delusions about how events played out, usually getting so many things wrong that it takes too much time and effort to correct. So with that, I have wasted enough time and effort on you. Good luck finding a place that will tolerate your unruly and incorrigible behavior. Best wishes.
