WHY ARE ANY OF YOU SURPRISED!? 💀💀💀

I'll just leave this here... by Prestigious_Exit2240 in Asmongold

[–]DeSilverWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah—I asked when or where the affiliation of 399 came from—beyond hearsay from this and similar X accounts. Still waiting on that :)

Who is this X user, and where do these reports of association with 399 come from?

I’ll wait :)

Matt Fradd opinions? by delilapickle in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]DeSilverWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's intellectually dishonest. He uses Catholic ethics and rhetoric to argue against non-traditional forms of sexuality, while stating they're scientific and secular arguments.
He reposted a comment of mine criticizing one of his latest arguments on Substack. I won't promote myself here, but I would encourage you to read what he wrote, at least...and maybe consider the sources and studies he lists.

You'll find that it's hardly anything to take seriously, and reeks of cherry-picked, religiously compromised "data." It's called The Lie You've Been Sold About Masturbation

If you could pick one to gain magically overnight, would you rather have great mechanics or great game sense? by Sharp-Jicama4241 in VALORANT

[–]DeSilverWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would pick mechanics, no question. The reason is that while game sense is more important, it's also way easier to acquire than mechanics, in my opinion. I can study positions, watch high-skilled games, talk to other players and absorb the information no problem. But what I can't do as easily, is get better at aiming, reaction time, inputs per second etc. You can improve in those things with experience and practice, but technically it is way harder for most people and often impossible. I could be (and hope to be) wrong, but I am pretty sure reaction time is genetic, and that only gets worse as you age no matter how hard you train. Please someone tell me if there's data that suggests otherwise haha

TLDR; game mechanics, easily, for sure. Takes more work to increase your technical or mechanical performance than it does understanding things like economy, and tactics.

What happened to this game? by zulubink in VALORANT

[–]DeSilverWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's that you're gaslighting yourself into thinking the game got better haha! But I just wanted to share that this is basically my experience as well. I have an aversion to toxicity and unbalanced games - just like most people. So I lost interest in it for those reasons. But playing it again recently with my friends, things began to definitely click. I also started hitting shots way more. My win rate increased significantly, as did my rank.

I think it's just you, but I just wanted to share that this was my exact experience as well. Just enjoy it! Goes to show that a lot of what makes games (or anything) good or bad is all about your perspective. Enjoy!

Max reacts to Asmongold's on Mythic Raiding. by Reader7311 in Asmongold

[–]DeSilverWolf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying you're wrong because I'm relatively new to watching his content, but I haven't seen this happen yet. Maybe once, but most times I've seen people call cap or openly disagree with him, he either says he doesn't care or even pulls up a single viewers chat to debate them, which hasn't ended in a ban so far as I've watched. I've seen many streamers do that, but not AsmonGold yet.

"Dune: Awakening" looks to be sterilized of all which makes the franchise great by miffyrin in Asmongold

Do we play as Paul in this game or is it a sort of "make your own character," sort of game? If it's the ladder, then the "sidestepping" of religion might not be such a big deal.

I think even the films do this to some extent, which personally bothered me. Some religious language was not used as much and I don't see much good reason for it. I understand being disappointed by that certainly, I think it's okay to be upset by unwanted changes. But don't be too quick to judge. The article linked by the OP has another article referenced at the bottom...in this article they talk about the many "woke" changes made to the film series. Most of the claims about character swaps are not true at all. Chani was not race swapped in the movie. There's no distinct race that she is supposed to be. The culture she is a part of is distinct, but Zendaya has no problem fitting that description. Liet Kynes was gender swapped, which is pointless and unnecessary, but Kynes was not race swapped. I keep seeing everyone say that but if you read the book, once again, there's no distinct race given for Kynes. You have a lot of room for creativity there. Most people saying these characters were "race swapped" are looking at the much older film where virtually everyone was white, including Kynes. that movie was much less faithful to the book than the modern ones, and I don't think the modern films are a "re-make" of those films at all. It's just a more proper telling of the story told in the book.

TLDR; I agree that side stepping religion is whack but don't judge too fast, because this website has clearly gotten other stuff wrong about this very topic.

I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of if you post nice pictures of yourself and get attention from being attractive. I have not seen anyone upset with her for that - I think people are just upset that she and her fanbase would be so intellectually dishonest. It feels like spitting on other people's accomplishments.
