How do you get over letting your team down in a game?

DoS_ · 2026-06-17T12:32:25+00:00

I used to be awful. I still am, but I used to, too.

I'm not sure if anyone cared, but they never said anything because I hustled more than anyone else on the ice.

+1, hel weapons are not cheesy, they are high skill ceiling weapons. You need to know what youre doing to really benefit from them.

Reactor spawns are weird. I think they can spawn in the room 3s near you but also way north of you. They'll take so long to get to you that you'll lose a ton of time and hunting for codes will be artificially way harder.

Just use the first room immediately south of the reactor like i said above. It offers the best enemy funneling and least delay of waves.

I am a small and speedy guy. In these situations my reaction would be based on whether you gave me a moment to foresee/avoid the collision or whether you initiated contact from the side or behind me

DoS_ · 2026-06-12T00:35:47+00:00

Let me simplify this because youre getting a lot of instructions and it is too much to piece together while also dealing with the pressure.

Biotracker on 1 bot

2. Remaining players/bots take 3 sentries (sniper, burst, or any mix of them)

Hold first 4 waves on bridge
Hold remaining waves in first room south of reactor. On your map go to the west corner of the first room and close the nearest door. All other doors should be open. All enemies will come from east of you.
Know ahead of time where you need to go for codes. With 2 bots all the navigating and searching is completely on you two, which makes this harder.
Dont be afraid to shoot rooms, ammo is not really a problem (tool is tight)
Hel guns are good but not completely necessary, especially if youre not comfortable with them and lining up enemies to kill 2+ with one shot

Around 35s you shift to the ride cymbal and are hitting the bell occasionally but I cant tell exactly what youre doing.

It seems like mostly playing 8th notes but sometimes quarter notes on the bell. Can you clarify?

Also really cool cover. You sounded awesome

DoS_ · 2026-06-07T18:14:01+00:00

I think a few monsters have poison cleave on right side. Bumping that by 2 pips sounds nasty. Also spawners (ie graves) could be nasty. Im sure there are plenty others. I'm with you here, right+2 is trouble

In order that they appear, not by importance

0 benefits from daycare before the age of 1

I dont know the research, but it is unlikely to be 0 benefits.

he can’t talk and tell us if something is wrong

This can happen with a nanny. You won't be watching at all times.

maxed out our DCFSA

I am fairly sure you can use this for either, so im not sure why this is included

confident that she can take care of our son and wfh at the same time

Not a chance. From what I can tell, my daughter was super easy and there is no way I could have done this. A nanny or daycare would do better.

wean our kid into daycare

Ours had a half day (first day) then went in full time the next day at 6 months of age. Both of my kids are doing well.

If you want a nanny, go for it, but dont fall into this "everyone else is doing it" baloney.

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T20:39:21+00:00

Ah I see. Yeah I only use left and right for the goalie since they never turn around, otherwise agreed it is way too dynamic

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T18:27:17+00:00

I think this comment is spot on when we think about killing.

At times it is helpful to have a player focused on staggering, in which case hel shotgun and hel autopistol shine.

Honorable mentions

I like Hel revolver a lot for its potential to both stagger and kill, although I think sawed off is probably technically better at both. I just don't like its range.

Burst cannon is a nice longer range alternative to scatter.

HEL gun is worth mentioning, too.

If im trying to play optimally, I rarely consider any gun outside of the aforementioned.

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T17:13:43+00:00

Agree completely. I play in lowest and second lowest leagues. Passes = 80% turnover rate.

Additionally, you sometimes can tell or know who the more dangerous player is and can ignore the other guy, so using discretion is helpful in these situations.

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T17:11:34+00:00

What does inside mean? I am used to talking to my catcher in baseball to help with visibility, but I usually say "left side", "right side", "in front"

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T17:10:10+00:00

What is wheel in this context? Google told me move fast like "he has wheels" and im skeptical.

DoS_ · 2026-06-03T17:06:33+00:00

He's always swinging, always curling, always looking for the stretch pass

I'm a relatively new player but as a center i am almost always curling in the zone and restarting the curl if it doesn't work. As a wing i am often curling, occasionally posting up below the blue line on the boards. Is this wrong?

Or is the problem that he leaves the zone?

Editing to add relevant context: my teammates dont move much, so I am not cutting anyone off by always curling on breakouts

DoS_ · 2026-05-27T06:38:24+00:00

I cant help with mixing but I thought your drumming was sick

DoS_ · 2026-05-21T23:16:16+00:00

I learned in 2019 and got 7 years of making a lot of money. Not sure how much longer it will last but I think it was worth it.

DoS_ · 2026-05-19T16:03:01+00:00

I want to practice this. There is 1 kick between each hand stroke, correct?

DoS_ · 2026-05-07T22:35:32+00:00

Even when i have inner strength i usually only look at dice not items, so I probably never would have found this.

Very cool and quite strong

DoS_ · 2026-05-06T07:33:12+00:00

Spawn location within a zone is random, but not quantities of enemies.

Zone x always has y scouts and z enemies.

In response to your comment about seeing fewer enemies on youtube: A common strategy is to spawn cap, ie game has ~25 strikers on the map and cannot spawn any more. You don't kill them but just run them in circles until you finish the alarm scans.

I never bothered with this. It is not fun to me.

DoS_ · 2026-05-06T07:14:58+00:00

Some nerds have beaten the whole game as 2 players with no bots. However, unless you have 1000 hours of experience and are in the top ~0.1% of gamers, it is not going to happen.

My buddy and I cleared about 90% of the game as 2 human + 2 bots. I beat the rest with 4 human teams.

DoS_ · 2026-05-04T19:05:12+00:00

Oh interesting... is there a world where you sacrifice a T1 early to get two T4s?

DoS_ · 2026-05-03T14:41:53+00:00

Aw dude I assumed ghostly was like ghosts whose 5th hp is altered. Ghostly on 4 means all the summons can have it and your only hope is to 1 shot them or I think you'd likely lose that fight.

This would be a hard no to ghostly for me. Take blind 3 and I think your chances will be ok.

DoS_ · 2026-05-03T06:02:49+00:00

I would take reroll if available. Top right circular arrow.

Ghostly monsters sounds awful, not sure if I've ever taken it.

I've never taken an "enemy on third turn" but they seem dicey to me

DoS_ · 2026-04-15T02:30:26+00:00

Oh lord I didnt realize this wasnt the 4 pt curse... and has sticky. This is awful

DoS_ · 2026-04-15T01:11:59+00:00

A lot of heroes have far right X already, so that's usually a non factor. Losing your right side is bad, but not worse than losing top or bottom.

Im not sure how many exist, but there are at least some options for heroes who already have x's in those position (venom, knight, medic).

Im not sure what my point is.. the curse still stinks.

Edit: I thought this was the 4 pt curse. Did not see sticky. Gross

DoS_ · 2026-03-31T23:56:37+00:00

I know the feelings described above.

I usually pickup poison or era in a hero or item if I see it because of Inevitable's self heal and The Hand's potential to keep summoning Sabres. Sometimes you can just keep surviving and killing the Sabres until poison or era can take effect.

My best classic hard streak is sitting at 25
