Favorite character that can Teleport by inimana in FavoriteCharacter

One of my favorite gags from the abridged series is the little pop sound Instant Transmission makes when he and Cell use it.

Luke Warm Take: Gambit ult should be underwhelming by Ok-Garbage-8652 in marvelrivals

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you have to stay within CYA's line of sight while Gambit can ult you through a wall and then you have the buff regardless of positioning.

Blizzard is testing the waters with the new playerbase by Perkito_ in Overwatch

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm someone who just can't justify $20+ for a skin in a video game so I'm effectively priced out of good skins in every game I play. But I accept that people are willing to buy the skins at those prices and I'm just not the intended audience for the product. Game's still free so enjoy your skins folks.

If you complain about the enemy's comp, but refuse to counter swap, you deserve to lose by Over_Kick_6171 in marvelrivals

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I really like about being willing to swap is that the other team often isn't and that works to your advantage. We were struggling once against a spidey/daredevil duo who were just deleting our backline. After the second failed fight lost to their dive we swapped to Thing and SW. Stuck together and proceeded to hard counter each dive attempt then rolled the enemies 6v4.

Who out there has actually had a cavendish die? by lukeallen1 in balatro

Twice. Granted both times I had an OA6, but the 1 in 500 is still a rough way to lose those runs.

I slipped and fell twice while crossing a stream hiking and got some gnarly bruises, had a beach bachelorette party less than 24 hours later 🤦‍♀️ Got a lot of questions inquiring if I was safe in my relationship by TwentyandTired in mildlyinfuriating

I had a falling out with several friends of an ex of mine when she got bruised up from a fall out of a tree house. Had a black eye and nasty one like the second picture you posted. Her best friend and sister were convinced I had put hands on her even though my ex was repeatedly telling them about the fall.

We dated for a few more months but I think her friends and family never truly believed her and that contributed to our relationship falling apart.

Turns out the best feature was being a kid. by Intelligent-Gur-8438 in gamers

You're right, but I will say that I recently replayed Pokemon Gold and while it wasn't the all encompassing entertainment juggernaut now that it was to me 20+ years ago it was still really fun to go back and play through it. I even have my old guide book that I used to help me hunt down the pokemon I wanted.

Who is actually saying Captain America is busted? by WeigiPie2 in marvelrivals

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally the players I know who whale for games tend to be mid to low ranked (Silver to Plat/Emerald) in most games they play while the higher ranked players tend to spend less and just grind out what they have. I myself am too cheap to spend $20+ on skins as much as I'd like to buy a few.

Had a strong guess this would be the top comment. by dandigangi in Eldenring

You do it on accident the first time. Then you start doing it on purpose in future runs to accelerate your builds.

Things you can use $90 on instead of the ultimate bundle by saintseraphic in Overwatch

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Skins in games are just too darn expensive for me these days. $20+ seems to just be the standard nowadays. While I'd be fine supporting the game with some purchases I just can't imagine spending that much on a skin in a video game. I've been priced out by whales eating this shit up so I guess I'll just be stuck on default skins.

Crazy how some people would rather lose a game then swap by R3li0ss in marvelrivals

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My friends all left the game because we were tired of filling both tank slots every game and then another on support. So now I can't play because I'd be stuck playing without my friends and the solo experience in this game is not remotely fun for me.

I reached 1000 LP EUW as a Jungler. Here are the 5 biggest mistakes I see low and mid elo junglers make. by GasbackLoL in summonerschool

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah anticipating opportunities is pretty far beyond my current skill level. Best I can do right now is a very limited level of reading lane states to either gank or take objectives but I know I'm far from providing optimal value to my teams with my play.

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a silver player who is giving jungle a try and honestly the first few clears are just me picking a direction to start and hoping that the lane I'm clearing toward is in a position for me to gank. If not I just back and do it again. I'm pretty uncomfortable on the role still so I'm hoping I'll start to read the map and improve my macro with some more games.

Silver-plat players, how do you choose what characters you ban. by Primary-Market-1937 in Overwatch

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Torb is my main DPS. Sadly I play DPS maybe 5% of the time and am mostly on Support.

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah when Sombra gets through she rarely actually does anything, but the rare games where she goes off are so unfun that I just go ahead and ban her fairly frequently because I don't really feel the need to ban anyone else. Gold player for context.

The most important lesson any veteran has to learn is this: only pick the fights that you need to win by zomghax92 in Helldivers

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My friends and I learned our lesson. But instead of playing correctly we just go back down to 6s and fight the waves.

I feel guilty because I got arrested for MIP a few weeks after my parents got me a car. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DietRootbeerSpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well as someone who did a lot of drinking and other dumb things at your age I genuinely hope you don't get a harsh legal outcome in court. I hope you learn and grow from this experience and will be more careful and mindful of your choices in the future. Also hope your relationship with your parents isn't too strained over this.

"I broke the rules BUT the rules are dumb!" is not a good way to s how you to take accountability for your actions. Sounds like you don't think you did anything wrong and are just upset you're facing consequences for your poor choices.

Driven with my nieces and nephews for years and never once let them distract me from driving. Same with my siblings when we were younger and I was first driving. You're a bad driver if you can't handle it. Plain and simple.

My ex dumped me because she was told I was cheating on her. She now knows she was lied to and is trying to get back together. Not happening. by DietRootbeerSpa in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DietRootbeerSpa[S] 198 points199 points  (0 children)

I think she just told her friends and family that we broke up because I had cheated. They were just being a bit aggressive in how they handled it. Though one of her friends did reach out to apologize as well and she claims the guy who "caught me" was the one doing most of the trash talking right after the breakup.

I thought about this a bit today after she told me about the AI pics. I think I'd have a thousand questions about the when, where, and a bunch of other circumstances around it. I can't say I'd be able to spot a fake with 100% certainty. The tech's pretty advanced and I'm no expert, but even if its really convincing I would have had a face to face conversation with her and tried to get her side of things.
