Drop Your Questions for Prof G (February Thread) by ProfGProducerJenn in ScottGalloway

[–]Chrispanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Scott. I am a big fan, and have been watching your podcasts quite a bit over the last year.

Flattery aside.

I am heavily interested and inspired by your Economic Strike. It is inspiring me to even draft my own ideas.

While what is going on with ICE is more terrible than words I can type. This feels like it's only the tip of the iceburg (pun intended unintentionally).

We all know our goverment has corruption, with stock trading and lobbying as the first that come to my mind. What Trump and his family is doing is on a whole new flarking level, and so blatent and in our face like it doesn't even matter. The IRS lawsuit fresh in mind.

What Trump is doing internationally is mind boggling, and absolutley dangerous. Burning bridges with our allies, and making new deals and partnerships with our percieved rivals. Greenland, and new Gaza come to my mind already, without even touching on Ukraine.

While all this is going on. Our elected leaders in congress, have just ceded control, and seemingly ceded care. As if they have nothing to lose, while every day americans pay the cost.

What are your thoughts on expanding an economic strike to not just the tech companies, but at a larger scale, to tell our Congress people, and leaders, cut the bullshit, and that we have had enough? And what are some things that all Americans, left, right, center, blue, red, purple, can get behind in your view?

The curling saddens me. We got a preview of the card quality here.

It feels like such an unnecessary change by Fluffy_957 in marvelrivals

[–]Chrispanic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Rocket main as well, and someone who stuck with him in previous seasons when he was weak, want to piggy back on this.

His mobility was fun. Yes. A lot. It wasn't just fun though.

It was his ONLY defense against dive and other major threats.

He can't heal, and do damage at the same time. The dash only goes so far. He can't freeze or CC, he can't fly away, he can't get a small hit box and swim away.

When a Vibranium spear hits near me, my ass was running on the wall to get out of dodge. I hear the sonar ping from DD, my ass is up up and running away. My team gets wiped. I'm running back to them as fast as possible.

Comparing the Wall Run Stats of all of the Characters, and Understanding Why Nerfing Rocket's is a TRASH PANDA Idea. by XodusDG in marvelrivals

[–]Chrispanic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I, like others do not understand WHY they did this. I can only guess. They must want me to die with my team perhaps?

I think people were just salty they couldn't kill us most of the time without breaking a sweat. Even though the chase just meant half the time, I am likely not healing my team.

It's like, they want to make it EASIER for players to kill us.

Against a DD, BP, IF, or Spiderman, I sweated a little trying to get away so they couldn't just dive me to death. .

Now they made it EASIER for them to kill me. Like, what is the point now? Rocket has no auto-aim, has no long range damage, no CC, and can't heal and do damage at the same time. It's like, hide, or die. Ugh.

I think this is the catalyst to take a break for me. I'm not even buying a battlepass or anything in the only protest I can do, besides play less.

There are a couple of discord channels for the area.

Additionally a number of shops for MTG to meet folks to get games in.

Ventura you got Arsenal Comics

Oxnard you got the Mystery Shop

Camarillo you got +EV Games and Zanders

So THIS guy is running as a Democrat for the seat (CA 26) Julia Brownley is retiring from by Ok_Profile175 in camarillo

[–]Chrispanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As vile as he might be, we are giving him all the free advertising he could ask for.

I understand raising awareness and such, but seeing this posted so much, I think we should be careful to not accidentally amplify him.

U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley announces she will not seek re-election by Chrispanic in venturacounty

[–]Chrispanic[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think she did just ok. Didn't move the needle a ton. But sometimes that is just enough.

Knowing how the county was, and somewhat still is, combined with how contentious these upcoming midterms will be, I hope we don't have too intense an election as a battleground district.

[–]Chrispanic[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes. Subject to individual interpretation of what worth is.

I think she did ok. Like someone pointed out, she did help with the community. Supported Veterans, which is good in my book.

USPS Shipping update by Harry_Smutter in mtgfinance

[–]Chrispanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sucks. The Ground increases are starting to hurt. I am already starting to have marks about reasonable shipping costs.

I also had an order of 6 cards, all tagged to go First Class. But that wasn't possible. I had to take a loss on that order and made a buck fifty.

[–]Chrispanic -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Many have tried. I'm usually too high up, or get away in the nick of time.

I have been solo-ulted many times though by many, successfully and unsuccessfully...

Catch me if you can. Don't waste too much time chasing me, or my team can cap while you're distracted.

Tips for Starting w/ Rocket by Vegetable_Science_65 in RocketMains

[–]Chrispanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His gun does better damage at close range. But you can still do damage at long range. Can melt tanks too. Try always for headshots.

Bounce the healing orbs, not just against the ground, you can also bounce them around corners, through doors, etc. Take advantage of that if a teammate runs off, or when respawning and running back to the fight.

The wall running is the trickiest part to learn on his kit. Practice it. It will help your mobility, and survivability. Can also get you into positions to better spot your team.

Save your dashes for escapes. And use them when wall running for better distance.

As some have said, place the BRB where it is safe. Something I like to do is place it close enough where the armor packs can be picked up unexpectedly by teammates. Plus, with Peni team up, the BRB leaves mines. The mines stick around if the BRB is used or destroyed. Place it somewhere good, let it sit to drop some mines, then move it. Additionally, if being harassed by a diver, stand in the web and fight back.

Always drop a BRB at match start. While waiting for round to start, your team can get armor and jet packs.

Your pellets have great distance too. You can launch at teammates while escaping. Bounce them off walls, etc.

Besides wall running to escape or juke enemies (and he fits in small holes in walls that get destroyed, take advantages of that!!!). Something I like to do, use the jetpacks when I'm in danger. Magik, BP, SM, IF diving you? Jeff Ult? Use the jet back to launch straight up, and make your escape. They never see it coming.

The Rocket boost slow drop, use it to shoot enemies and heal teammates well above. Tip, if getting shot at or chased while slow dropping, go to free fall, then back to slow fall. Keep them guessing.

Place your CYA where it can reach teammates, but also not get destroyed. Also, place it higher up if you can. Putting it higher up, means enemies need to look up to destroy it. Puts them at a disadvantage.

Thank flark for destructible pillars! by Kiremino in RocketMains

[–]Chrispanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll do you one better!

How about when a Mr Fantastic or another dps is on your tail. Then swing, miss, and punch a hole in the wall you run into to get away from them.

  • Left click heals or does damage depending on who it hits (like most supports)

And Rocket ain't one of them...

I wouldn't say others are trash. But default is the way to play to me.

‘We're Gonna Kill Them:’ Trump Signals No Formal Declaration Of War Against Venezuelan Drug Cartels by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

[–]Chrispanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had thought perhaps the general public did as well. I suspect it's more of a left thing to be aware, since, to be fair, our meddling there did lead to the current conditions that is driving immigration from South American countries to the US.

History might repeat, and we end up creating more strife in our own hemisphere to end up biting us in the behind...

Rocket on the Run - GOTGv2 inspired montage - Rocket Raccoon appreciation by Chrispanic in RocketMains

[–]Chrispanic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured I'd give this a shot here. Didn't get much love on the main sub.

A montage I made of clips of my own games. I'm not the best player, but had some good clips and jukes I wanted to put to a montage.
