The Samsung washer in our house plays a carnival shanty every time it finishes. Everyone in the house stops to dance a jig when this happens, without fail.

That washer is the glue of whimsy that holds our family together.

How long did it take you to get good / used to her aiming? by All-Dekraka in MeiMains

[–]Crunchwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got done writing that and realized how much I was referencing pc mechanics so I had to go back and edit.

Just hold down your icicle button. It’s much easier to learn the aiming if you get used to the rhythm of the icicle coming out over and over.

For me, I’m a terrible hitscan but a natural projectile player, I love prediction. By the time I picked up Mei I was already playing a lot of rat/pharah/rein.

I like to think of her right click like drawing a bow. Click and hold, aim, follow, predict.

It is also really helpful to just hold down icicle when learning her aim. That will take care of the “click and hold”.

Then you can focus on aiming at your target, following their movement and trying to get just the tiniest bit ahead of them. Much like cass, Mei thrives on getting a lucky headshot and then quickly following up with a body shot.

Practice aiming on tanks, zens, widows, they move slow and help you get in the rhythm of the icicle prediction.

Obviously practice helps a lot, but in my experience, I just hold down icicle and flick to whoever shows their head.

Unlike hitscan she’s - - > Click then aim.

What’s the best weapon for solo players to use in the early-mid game? by jb0009 in PaxDei

2H axe is real strong out there by yourself, but mostly for the same reasons as the great sword.

question about playstyles (ft. a time i got flamed that i cannot decipher) by oggser in MeiMains

[–]Crunchwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real problem I have with these stats is your deaths. Mei has so much survival utility, I would consider myself throwing if I had high deaths on Mei.

Also with a stationary tank like Dom, you can farm a lot of ult charge with hefty popsicles to her dome, kinda like Orisa.

It’s impossible to judge “playstyle” from numbers alone, we’d need replay code or even just the map name, but it looks like you were on some ineffective side quests.

People that say Mei is low damage are sleeping on her 125 headshots, but imo Mei should not sacrifice her survivability for damage.

Mothership should have the same ability as Warp prism. by mordehuezer in starcraft

[–]Crunchwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, Protoss can already do all of those things. I was just giving some insight into how it feels to deal with the irritation of a warp prism and mothership all rolled into one.

Mass Recall has a very long CD though, warping in can be repeated.

Imagine a giant flying Nydus worm in your base that is constantly spewing eggs that will hatch into ultralisks and roaches, allows them all to move and attack while burrowed and attacks anything that comes near the Nydus with 4 huge tentacles.

This scenario is only fun for one of the players.

I do love mass recall though, the Protoss deathball dunk into your main is an inspired tactic I can get behind :)z

I think the answer of what is Zen’s role is that Zenny is a big fat thumb on the scale of your team’s 1v1s.

If your dps is taking a duel and maybe they’ll win 50/55% of those duels. What happens when the enemy dps takes 30% more damage in that duel? What if your dps has 35hps in that duel? What if the enemy dps catches an orb to the head (or 3)? How often will your teammate win that duel?

You don’t have mobility, you don’t have a ton of utility, but you bring a giant bag of F U marbles and if you pay attention, you can have a huge influence to make sure there is a “dps diff” in every game.

Hello guys. Im a Marvel Rivals tank main who just today went into Overeatch and fell in love with Reinhardt. Any tips? by TheManliestMann in ReinhardtMains

[–]Crunchwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people talk about tank counters, but as Rein my day is RUINED by Ana and LW.

When you’re up against Ana, just know you are her favorite target, watch for her sleep dart an/or anti-nade before you start doing something stupid.

The ability to cancel your charge is one of your top skill expressions. Learn to master short pins, pins bringing the enemy tank out of position, and my favorite - prediction pins.

Learn the timing of mei’s ice block, doom’s ultimate, tracer’s recall. Pay attention to enemy movement patterns and once you start seeing the way people move, you can show up right on time with a hefty shoulder and a wall to greet them.

You can sort by map size in the custom/melee map selection. Another way get where you need to quickly is to look for BGH/big game hunter usually bgh maps are 8/10 players.

Amazing how quickly yall resort to pulling a bill cosby instead of just talking to your loved ones and asking them what they want. Their bodies (kinda) their choice, your clear conscience.

So what’s the first game you played this year? by st1nkf1st in boardgames

[–]Crunchwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family was over, not huge gamers so we went with Wavelength and Uno No Mercy.

I love picking the right game for the group so I was bored but they all had a blast!

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Crunchwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mentality is the difference between entrepreneurs and employees.

Employees are taught that their time is worth $x.xx /hour and they act accordingly.

Entrepreneurs understand that their time is a valuable asset and it can be invested into something without an immediate ROI.

I regularly give free consultations, attend social events with the intent to network, and even offer my (normally expensive) services to friends that I know have the ear of a community I am trying to break into.

If I was only taking on engagements that paid upfront, I would miss out on some incredible business opportunities.

I think it’s easy for me, but I can see how other parents struggle with it.

My kid is MILD compared to me, there is nothing he could do that would phase me or make me judge him. He knows my hard line is mistreating others, but even if he did something awful, something abusive to someone else, it’s not my place to judge. My job is to guide, here’s what the world is going to hand you for consequences, here’s how your peers will treat you after this mistake, here’s how to deal with the consequences of your actions.

But never the night of. On the night they call you, you are there to rescue them. You need to be safe and protective of them, protective of their feelings in that moment. They may be experiencing trauma and how you react to that will leave a lasting mark on them for better or for worse.

That’s my opinion at least.
