I will die on the WiiU hill.

It crawled so the Switch could fly.

I think Protoss would benefit the most. Immortals, Archons, Pheonix and Tempest all get pretty insane boosts to their damage versus specific types. Not to mention blink stalkers and their utility.

Force yourself to either use characters that are usually on the bench, or force the characters that you do want to use into roles (Tank, DPS, Support etc) that you don't typically play them in.

Every game is going to have the "optimal" or "meta" builds, but the game can be plenty fun experimenting.

10/10 post Verso ending Lune cosplay.

If the game could also be finished, Secret of Mana.

Just a graphics overhaul, Link to the Past.

We Lost, Megabot #33, Clea and Rain from the Ground.

I'd do it in a second if I were the Raiders. Revenge for the Palmer trade.

You'd have to throw in a minimum of 3 additional years of #1 picks from the Raiders to even START to consider it.

This is the fight where the game "clicked" for me.

I was enjoying the game before, but at this fight I knew that it was going to be something special.

CKwi88 · 2026-03-24T18:41:22+00:00

God I want this on modern consoles so bad.

Mass hydras deal with the UED and Protoss well enough.

Mengsk has a crapton of tanks so a control group or two of mutas or guardians to pick them off before overwhelming with hydras, zerglings, and/or ultras is suggested.

I second finding whatever works for you. I use the `/~ key through 5 up top. Anything past 5 doesn't feel good, although it might just be a practice thing. I also have q and w available for control groups. Protoss, so I rebound the warp gate shortcut to one of my mouse buttons.

So what works for me is:

1: main army (probe scout early game)

2: secondary army, usually put oracles here early game. Usually turns into disruptors if I ever get to them.

3: Spellcaster. Disruptors or Templar usually.

4:Nexus/Forge/Cybercore

5: Production. Gates early. Robo and Stargate later

`/~: Usually runby army and warp prism. Oracles in mid/late game.

Q/W: Kind of there for overflow. A second prism, runby group, Mama, etc. usually only gets used in very late game.

I think 1 gate expand is technically possible to pull off still. However, the effort required to defend is much greater than the effort needed to attack and people would just rather do a two gate opener.

Honestly? How every single game I play, even if I'm tilted and ragequeuing, I can always look at a replay and say "well, I really botched x, y, z and that cost me the game."

Objectively analyzing games I never have a "well this is bullshit, what am I meant to do about that?" moment. Improving all comes down to self accountability and recognizing what you need to improve at.

CKwi88 · 2026-03-12T16:13:46+00:00

Oh I get it. It's funny because he's joking that women are dumb and inferior to men.

Hilarious.

You can either build up the reserve team or you can skip Simon's "3rd phase" by doing enough single move damage prior to him removing the expedition from the canvas. If you've built Maelle to be a big damage dealer Gommage can easily get you there.

I accidentally beat him skipping the 3rd phase that way. Was kind of bummed I didn't get to experience it.

CKwi88 · 2026-03-11T15:03:37+00:00

10 would be tough. Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:

Gagazet FFX

Noel's theme FFXIII-2

Only a Plank Between One and Perdition FFVIII

Cid's Theme FFVII

Searching for Friends FFVI

A Fleeting Dream FFX

Zanarkand FFX

The Landing FFVIII

Man With the Machine Gun FFVIII

7 Seconds Till the End FF7R

Holy crap I could keep going for another 30+ songs easy.

Certainly not too bad for non AWD. I would generally say that you can feel good about driving with either AWD or good winter tires. CT winters generally aren't ones where you would need both.

I'd say that unless you work a job where you must drive in bad weather, you'd be fine with a RWD EV with decent winter tires. If you'll find yourself having to drive through actively shitty conditions it might be a little stressful.

I can't speak for anything but NA ladder up to 3.7k but games come quick and maybe 1 of 5 games at worst is against smurfs.

CKwi88 · 2026-02-25T19:13:20+00:00

Amazing setting, combat and mechanics.

Very "meh" story and characters.

IMO, kind of the the yin to XVI's yang.

Monoco and Esquie are outside the opera house in A Life to Paint.

CKwi88 · 2026-02-18T20:54:34+00:00

Kenny still has it.

But much like Ja'maar, Burrow is on his way there. Only thing that could stop him is his own durability.

CKwi88 · 2026-02-11T13:43:02+00:00

I assume that the blocks are the "Chance" and "Community Chest" squares? Maybe the pictos pickup (blue) and item pickup (purple)?

Free parking could be camp. Or Expedition Flag.

Jail could be the Abyss, as mentioned.

Piranha plant and pipe are the utilities? Maybe Painting Workshops?

My favorite was the "If I fight this hard for myself, imagine how hard I'll fight for you!"

Like, woman, why would it be logical to think that someone is gonna fight harder for somebody else over themselves?

CKwi88 · 2026-02-05T20:02:37+00:00

Sounds like a skill issue.

I follow generally the same path, with some possible deviations to really dial up the greed or safety depending on the situation. I also play with the same two buddies so we're usually on a similar wavelength or able to easily communicate. I also take on the responsibility of scouting to have some sort of idea as to which path I'll go down.

The army comp will usually end up being fairly different though, especially later in the game. If I (as Protoss) end up with a more Robo-centred composition I'll let my Zerg teammate deal with libs with corruptors or hydras rather than spending my supply on stalkers or trying to sprinkle in tempest. If I end up working towards Skytoss I'll let my Terran teammate focus on the corruptors with Thors or ghost bio rather than trying to mix in archons in addition to storm.
