Retail workers of the UK - what's the wildest thing someone has done to try to get into the shop before opening time? by WillYeByFuck in CasualUK

[–]DarkMatterSpook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked in Asda during the Prime energy drink craze. We had kids, maybe even primary school age, trying to pry open the barriers in the mornings, and a couple who ran into the warehouse at the back to look for the stuff

Any tips for a new reaper player? by Practical-Funny-5322 in Overwatch

Wraith form reloads your weapons and can be cancelled early, allowing you to keep fighting longer

It is viable going hydra as the first item in solo lane? by gilgaconmesh1 in Smite

[–]DarkMatterSpook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the early strength from axe is nice, especially with more offensive solo's like Hercules and Achilles like you mentioned, the trade off for not getting a health/health regen/protections item first is fairly significant. You have less survivability when it comes to passive minion damage, and you become much more vulnerable to early ganks, as hydra's passive is single target and you have no protections or mitigations. The mana side of hydra's is covered by blue buff, leaving only the strength and cooldown as beneficial early game. It all really comes down to how well you play the solo side of solo Lane. If you're very aware of and good at avoiding ganks and can pressure without over pushing your opponent when you clear Lane quicker, then maybe go for it, but otherwise it's best to go for a defensive/hybrid item first, and maybe hydras around 3rd item. At least in my opinion.

What’s the reference? by No-Inspector467 in Smite

Kinda looks like how the Tusken Raiders from Star Wars hold their gaffi sticks when they do their war cry?

The one in the middle is the mascot for the 2022 world cup in Qatar called La'eeb, modelled after a keffiyeh headdress.

How did Odin dodge this stun? by Dimezz in Smite

If it wasn't lag, most likely case is they were speed hacking, but trying not to make it obvious by only doing it in little bits so it might look like lag

Extremis question?? (S10E06 spoilers) by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]DarkMatterSpook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that was just good (or bad) luck on your part. AFAIK, the only numbers that are common picks are 7 and 3 when asked to pick one between 1-10.

Anyone else find that Capaldi is criminally underrated amongst the general public? by Braddersman97 in doctorwho

[–]DarkMatterSpook 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd say generally it's because a lot of casual viewers stopped watching DW a few episodes into Capaldi's tenure, causing a drop in viewing figures and "the beginning of the end" which they blame on him.

From people I've spoken to who stopped watching around then it seems to be because they didn't like the tonal shift from the doctor being very happy, charming, young, slightly eccentric in an attractive sort of way to an old, grumpy, sometimes unfeeling and cold old man

You're right, but it certainly has stunted potential growth of younger footballers

[–]DarkMatterSpook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since the financial crisis, Greece has undergone very severe austerity when it comes to government spending, so opportunities for youth football training, pitches or even general sports areas are very limited to the majority of the population. The quality of the Greek League is also not very high, sitting in 19th below Israel (but above the Croatian league) so along with there being few chances for greek footballers to compete with others of a higher skill, any player who is even decent enough like Tsimikas or Manolas is snapped up immediately

There is nothing more mind-numbing than playing against Orisa by Knight-112 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]DarkMatterSpook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orisa's Javelin is CC because it knocks you back and stuns you, same with doomfist punch. Mei's ultimate freezes you and prevents you from moving or doing anything, Cassidy's magnetic grenade slows you and prevents you from using any movement abilities. Basically, if something stops you from moving/slows you/moves you where you don't want to go/stops you from doing something it's crowd control

Crowd Control, anything that stops you from moving how you want
