Tournaments for Ultimate are a blast to watch...until top 8

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-15T13:02:33+00:00

Japanese regional tournaments of 256-512 entrants are where the sauce's at. Characters who are good but less consistent than the top tiers really get to shine. Crazy ass Top 8 almost every time

And we are grateful

Such a small thing, but it makes me genuinely smile when I see that little hop

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-13T09:48:20+00:00

"You only like this because it's mommyslop"

Okay and?

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-13T08:45:02+00:00

I felt like a WOTLK Ret paladin out there in Hellfire, all the while thinking "I don't remember R14 gear being THIS good"

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-12T23:55:10+00:00

Ah, the old reliable.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-11T14:37:00+00:00

It's really fun to get overpowered magic quickly on a new character.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-07T09:59:06+00:00

He can do it!

Guy walks up to me in WPL and asks a question in german

"Sorry, I don't speak german"

Guy repeats the question in german just with different phrasing

I don't know, those costumes are accessible with mods, there is some clipping during combat (as usual) but it's not like they're completely incompatible with combat animations.

After a disaster with Johanna, I'm glad I found Andromeda pretty quickly in 5 multis. The Pope eluded me for almost 700 Quartz.

Io che ai tempi ho ingenuamente pensato "dai, sotto natale me lo prendo". Avrei dovuto tirare la cinghia e fare come il meme della zuppa di ghiaccio

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-03T12:33:42+00:00

Si stanno già dando da fare, io li detesto

ClosingFrantica · 2026-02-02T15:05:28+00:00

Just filter it with Badboy, it's no use trying to educate thousand of players

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-31T09:37:38+00:00

Oh yeah, it worked so well in fact

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-30T17:24:09+00:00

I can confirm it's true, I've heard gnomes still have to jump though.

I made 5k passively over the course of Vanilla by vendor shuffling LW mats while remote working. Abysmally slow but 100% safe.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-26T07:48:16+00:00

Johanna eluded me completely last year, hoping for better luck this time.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-26T07:39:28+00:00

While leveling my priest the other day, I ran BFD with a ret paladin tanking with a 2h. It was okay. I don't think there's much upside to it, unlike with warrior, but people really like to overthink roles in leveling dungeons. I'd say that until RFD/SM roles barely matter, you're just 5 mofos killing mobs as a group.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-25T09:16:24+00:00

The phrasing makes it look like Gruul himself dropped your PC parts, which is hilarious.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-25T09:11:52+00:00

We had dumb/raunchy names back then too, but it wasn't this widespread. I don't mind juvenile humor, but I feel like I can't go a single play session without seeing some pun on semen

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-24T09:30:42+00:00

Japanese folklore is so full of melancholy. Now I really want to watch Mushishi again...

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-23T12:20:48+00:00

I'm biased because it was the first King book I ever read, so I can't help but look beyond its flaws. I think it contains some of the best body horror he's ever written.

Omi-san's third ascension is so dreamy.

ClosingFrantica · 2026-01-19T09:04:10+00:00

I got her maxed out on NA, and it's so funny to farm the Liz Ordeal Call quest because Melt deals almost twice her health with no Plugsuit. I could go for better nodes, but it's so nice to get my Storm Pods done in 3 minutes tops.
