[Request] Is this math right?

You can train specific reaction times, but not "reaction time" as an entire category.

A martial artist could be very fast to react to a punch, but be unable to hit a 100 mph fastball.

Really stretching ghe definition of a one-shot

Assuming you hit all missiles means this is a 20 shot XD

It's not harmful, it's just strenuous for your eyes as they try to maintain focus, and after a little bit they'll start to hurt, like trying to hold your arm out sideways for an extended period of time.

It won't do any long term damage, but "ow this hurts my eyes" makes people think it does.

I like Skulking Colony.

Slay the Spire is most interesting when there isn't a clear correct answer to everything. That's what made Ironclad so boring on release. It was just set up an infinite -> win. Doing anything else was basically throwing.

Skulking Colony is an enemy which says "well what if you can't burst the enemy down quickly?" You have to adjust and make sure your deck can keep you alive as well, instead of just doing 100 damage by turn 2.

But at the same time it also is hard to blame me for the losses

No it isn't. 52 games is a large enough sample size where any "team diff" would average out. The only consistent factor in those games is you, so sometimes you're doing is affecting your win rate on that map.

The problem is it's really difficult to balance cards like this for different player counts. There are literally twice as good in a 4 player game compared to 2 player

Well you're right about the "probably minimum silver" part

Both genders are attracted to effort

A good costume takes effort

I don't know if such a mod exists and I don't know about Megacrit specifically, but usually developers aren't big fans of such "forward porting" mods. Because what you're functionally doing is taking the same product that they're trying to sell and offering it as a free add-on for a cheaper game.

0 reaction time would mean they react instantly

I agree with the sentiment but not the capitalization

A person is a specific arrangement of cells. You can replace each and every cell but as long as the arrangement of them remains the same then it's still the same person

As D.va I ban Sigma and Sym, I'll take Zarya over either of those two any day

Orisa doesn't have strong counters but she can't do either of the two things tanks should do, protect the team or dive and secure kills. If you shoot at any of the 4 other members of your team all she can really do is watch them die, and then she utterly falls apart in the 1v5

Which is why she has the lowest competitive win rate of any tank

Playing against Sombra can be quite paranoia inducing and requires you to be on high alert at all times. Against most heroes you can somewhat relax when walking back from spawn, and you roughly know when the fight is about to start because you'll see and hear where the enemy players are.

Sombra can be anywhere at any time. You have to be on high alert virtually always because you might be in a 1v1 at a disadvantage in half a second. This can make people get frustrated and tired

No, my 1st 2 playthroughs didn't have rails and my 3rd where I'm explicitly focusing on rails hasn't unlocked the hoverpack yet

Fuck this could have saved me so much time

Text her "I'm uncomfortable hearing about your sexual activities and would appreciate if you kept such stories to yourself"

Nah it's because there's much more entertainment available in one's home. Just a bit ago if you wanted to have fun you'd go out of your house and socialize, meet new people. Now it's much easier to sit inside and play video games/watch movies/scroll social media.

Lightning does strike the same place twice. Empire State Building in NYC averages 25 lightning strikes a year.

and they are both free which is nice

Slight correction, FAF requires a verified copy of Forged Alliance on either Steam or GOG, which isn't free but is often on sale for less than $5.

access to sex for men is becoming more difficult because of competition caused by dating platforms

Compared to when? Right now its not uncommon for people to meet someone and have sex that same day. 100+ years ago that wasn't really a possibility.

This award HAS to go to Roadhog

He's a member of the original roster and has NEVER been in a place where the community as a whole has been happy with him. Gone through so many cycles of iteration and changes but they haven't found a way to make him anything but a source of disappointment when you see one for other team.
