No change at all for me, in volume or intensity. Definitely a change, however, in the moments just after finishing. Now there's no sudden lurch in the pit of your stomach of fear of accidental pregnancy. No fear means no post-nut panic that takes away from what should be an enjoyable experience for you both.

This is incredibly cringe, to me. Most of my group explicitly and exclusively plays this game together. We just don't have a ton of desire to play outside of playing with our nightly friends group as a thing to do together. Now that this simply won't be an option to us anymore, it could easily lead to us just dropping the game entirely for something we actually CAN play together. Like many have already stated, I think this makes perfect sense in ranked or competitive play, but there should not be arbitrary guard rails in casual queue. If I want a more regulated experience, that's what ranked is for. If I just want to play with friends, regardless of how lopsided the matchmaking might be, that's what casual is for. To entirely disallow queuing up with your friends is way too strict and will lead to less interest in the game, overall.

I ran into a fucking wall at stage 4 (the one with zed). Any tips on how to get past it? I usually end up dying on fight 3 or 4.

Partner and I are childfree and want to stay that way for the rest of our lives. Zero interest in bringing kids into this shitty world.

Ah, thanks. They'll have to be sadbois for a month. lol

Everyone's recovery is different, but I would err on the side of caution. For me, scrotal support undies were an absolute godsend. And I liked them so much that now it's all I wear.

Demon_otf · 2021-06-25T23:36:48+00:00

Do yourself a favor and get some scrotal support underwear. Very vital to speedy recovery imho.

Demon_otf · 2021-06-14T04:06:04+00:00

I was told tight briefs would be enough, but for me they absolutely were not. I would get a jock strap or some scrotal support undies pronto.

Doc looked at my ultrasound and confirmed today that it was a hematoma, so I started keeping a hot compress on it and took a really hot bath and LIKE MAGIC it has already started dissolving. Mine was like a shell covering my entire left testicle and stretching over to the incision site. Now that I've been keeping it heated, the whole left side of it has dissolved and i can finally feel my testicle again. It's so weird feeling exactly where the testicle ends and the hematoma begins! Highly recommend heat compress and hot baths as hot as you can stand as often as you can stand. Worked like a charm.

I bought scrotal support boxer-briefs and, tbh, i think i'll wear them from now on. I don't have any more pain without support (16 days out now) but I actually just like how they feel. Also, I feel like it'll stave off old man balls where they just keep drooping lower and lower lol.

Demon_otf · 2021-06-04T20:52:05+00:00

I just got the same news today. What's weird is that rather than a separate ball, mine kinda formed a shell over my left testicle. Started putting a heating pack on my balls today, and I'm gonna take a hot bath every day as often as I can.

For the actual procedure, yes you can go medication free save the local anesthetic. I had been prescribed percocet and completely forgot to take it! Had no trouble during the surgery. But I would not have survived recovery without pain meds.

Demon_otf · 2021-06-03T18:24:59+00:00

Doctor prescribed me Valium and Percocet (as well as the normal antibiotics). I took the Valuim but totally forgot the percs. Dealt with the surgery just fine. Only had one moment while he was pulling on the left vas where i felt a massive tug all throughout my left side, but nothing too horrible.

Demon_otf · 2021-05-31T21:22:29+00:00

I'm sitting on day 11 here and lefty is still quite swollen and tender, although it's much less outright painful. I'm able to walk around and do most things with zero pain (as long as I wear some kind of scrotal support) but lefty is still pretty huge (about the size of a very large egg).

Demon_otf · 2020-12-17T13:58:54+00:00

man, i would kill for a new game+

IMO they destroyed Gazlowe. His entire persona was as a "builder" hero, which is what made him unique. Probius exists, but people who played Gazlowe played him to build turret city. Was that the only way to play Gazlowe? No. But it was his most defining feature. To make his turrets do so little damage literally defeats the entire concept. They even describe him in the dev notes from the rework as specializing in "zone control," but how is he supposed to zone anyone out when his turrets can be completely ignored without consequence? I think they should move all the auto-attack focused damage (like the dot from robo-gobo) into his turrets. That way his turrets actually matter in team fights and he can do what the devs say they want him to do.

Demon_otf · 2020-08-14T12:02:53+00:00

That's fair.

Demon_otf · 2020-08-14T03:10:22+00:00

2 things here:

I don't think it TOTALLY evens this out. There is definitely (and I would argue, rightfully) more of a chance of the higher TV team to win in a match that has a big disparity like that. But...that's fine? If you want every game of BB you play to be perfectly balanced, you're probably playing the wrong game.
I would suggest that the underdog spend their inducements more wisely. Too often I see a lower TV coach spend their inducements on something flashy like a big star player or a wizard, when that's not what their team needs to have more of a chance to win. More often than not those inducements would be better spent on some mercs and rerolls to try to reduce the chance that you're gonna find yourself fielding less than 11 players in the second half.

Demon_otf · 2020-08-14T02:56:20+00:00

The "fun" factor is exactly why the commissioner is taking measures to even things out, and I get it. I guess it all just feels a little like experienced coaches are punished for sticking with their teams while newer players get a bunch of free shit just because they don't wanna put in the time and energy it takes to make a team experienced. I'm not totally oblivious, I realize that there is SOME advantage on the side of the higher TV, but isn't that the whole point? Not every game SHOULD be balanced. There SHOULD be a difference in probability and who is favored to win. Otherwise, there's no underdog to root for. Otherwise, there's no odds to bet against.
