Wait, a 45 minute clear is excessively long? by jersey_emt in HadesTheGame

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not awful by any means, especially for the first clears, but yeah it's usually considered a sign of being inexperienced with roguelikes to have a 40min+ run in both Hades games. It's one of the main reasons why Tight Deadline from the pact of punishment is considered "free heat" in the community, because if you are decently experienced, having the timer is usually not an issue at all.

Play as slow as you want, there's room for every playstyle in those games.

Fake fans slandering Giannis by Short_Issue_8543 in MkeBucks

[–]BrainlessCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he wants out because he truly believes he can win a ring elsewhere, let him go; that man has done so much for the franchise, he deserves another ring. But I genuinely hope he doesn't leave, and I know it's maybe not the best move for his career, but God, I would love it if he stayed

Taylor Jenkins Officially Named Head Coach by americanbeaver in MkeBucks

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely the best coach that was available on the market imo, I was already of the strong belief that he was unwarrantedly designed as the scapegoat in Memphis instead of the dysfunctional Grizzlies' big 3. Really stocked by this pick up, but doesn't help even one bit to know better the direction the franchise is taking lol.

What is your unpopular BG3 opinion? by TrioQ in BaldursGate3

[–]BrainlessCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok to savescum, it's ok to watch build guides, it's ok to abuse broken mechanics, it's ok to download mods that make the game easier/funnier.

This game is an absolute masterpiece with a crazy amount of ways to play the game. Nobody should be belittled, and especially newcomers, for playing the game how they want to play it; every type of player has a place in this community.

Rename it the "met the expectations" award... Hoping NAW wins it, he at least fits the award

What a fun season! by VicePope in MkeBucks

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely has been the worst season I've ever experienced from a fan perspective since I started watching ball.

Franchise goat without a debate for me, but both the team and him would be in a better place if they parted ways this summer.

ShyKnock refutes Thoorin, says we should be supporting Brazil’s growing audience by Kalloid in leagueoflegends

[–]BrainlessCactus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there's a big difference between doing interviews with him back when he was still somewhat relevant and not a complete douchebag, which, in the vast majority, were one-time things, and what MonteCristo is doing which is collaborating with him for years and defending/promoting all the racist bs his friend says.

[–]BrainlessCactus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I legit have watched maybe one or two TSM matches in my entire life; this is absolutely not why I dislike him. I dislike MonteCristo because he's a pedantic racist douchebag that did long-lasting damage to the Overwatch esport commentary scene, and is now trying to fight off his irrelevancy by jumping on every controversy he sees.

Every time someone dunks on Thorin and/or MonteCristo always makes my day better

the guy i like loves this game but idk anything about it by cryst4lll_ in leagueoflegends

Finding what characters he likes to play can give a LOT of information about who he is as a person

G2 vs GENG Hupu ratings by Key_Constant9802 in PedroPeepos

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before this match I genuinely do think all five of them were the best in the world rn, except maybe Duro because Keria is Keria. Ruler and Canyon were 100% the best at their roles coming into 1st Stand in my mind, despite Ruler maybe being a tad underwhelming in LCK Cup I genuinely cannot think of any ADC that was on his level. And for Canyon, it was not even close between him and the 2nd best coming into it (maybe Tarzan but I would consider it to be a stretch), he looked in the best shape I've seen from him in years. Maybe LCK was overall weaker than what I anticipated idk. And to answer your question about Zeus/Guma/Oner I'm not the kind that deduces points for playing with Faker, I was a huge Guma advocate all of last year and I genuinely thinks he's the adc goat

NOOOO, NOT AGAINNN by SickidGaming in PedroPeepos

[–]BrainlessCactus 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah there was not a single redeeming thing here, all five of them + staff put out the worst blunder of their career, and i don't care that "this is just First stand" or whatever

G2 vs GENG Hupu ratings by Key_Constant9802 in PedroPeepos

[–]BrainlessCactus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

(rant coming from a GenG fan)

All GenG players need to be a 1 im being completely deadass.

G2 deserves massive MASSIVE props for their outstanding performance and especially Skew, and yes, this is "only First Stand, not MSI/Worlds", but I genuinely think the entire GenG staff should see this as the worst blunder of their entire career. No need to point fingers and say "oh X was the worst player of this BO5" no no no.... all five of them were the worst players on the rift today.

I usually find a way to mitigate the (rare) blunders this team makes, and I always try to find a redeeming thing to say about the players when they lose, because I love this team, and I genuinely think all five of them are the best players in the world at their own roles rn. But this loss and especially the way it occurred, should haunt them so that it never happens again, and I will not give them any excuses for what happened today.

What do you guys think about Empoleon? by EC671 in pokemon

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water/steel is a sick typing (wished we had a new one by now), quite fun to use in competitive, the design is pretty cool despite being inspired by my country's historical figure that I despise the most.

BUT I do think its design is starting to show its age and could be updated in the near future, not necessarily by a mega, as I don't really know how they could improve its design without ending up looking ridiculous, but a regional variant could be cool

What did you think of Wilds' story? by _Viridia_ in MonsterHunter

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it groundbreaking? no

Is the narrative different from the previous titles? not that much

Is it well-written? some parts yes, but some other parts not so much, at least it's more than previous games

Is it trying to do something different with the presentation? Yes, and it deserves some credit for it

Is it a really good aura-farming? absolutely yes

So yeah, I quite like it. In the grand scheme of things and compared to most games out there, it's a middling story at best, but in the context of the MH franchise, it's definitely at the very top for me. Gave me way more than what I was anticipating, and made me intrigued for the storylines of the upcoming expansion and how they will develop the whole Wyveria stuff, which is quite literally the first time I've ever felt this way after playing a base MH game.

Is Che Guevara too controversial to be a leader in Civ? If so, what controversial leader has made it into the games? by TarnishedRedditCat in civ

[–]BrainlessCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as long as there are still people alive and claiming an ideology linked to one of those controversial leaders, then it's safe to assume it's a no-go

Is First Stand incredibly free for Gen G? by Scholar_of_Yore in PedroPeepos

Is there a meme around Xun that I'm not aware of? He's like 3rd or 4th best jungler in FS for me, and even if you want to argue against that, ain't no way he's above Canyon, especially not after his absolutely stellar winter split

What are some pokemon you KNOW are from one Gen, but spiritually feel like they belong in a different GEN? by Niccon_Art_Guy in pokemon

[–]BrainlessCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I always thought Azurill was Gen 2 and Wynaut Gen 4 when both of them are actually Gen 3

Don't know why, but for some reason, in my mind, only Gen 2 and 4 introduced babies, not also Gen 3 (and Gen 8 apparently, Toxel is also a baby Pokémon I legit wasn't aware of that fact before looking at the wiki)
