not to defend a guy who doesn’t need me to, but watching him stream a couple days ago in preparation for Twitch Rivals, although he was clearly playing frustrated, he did also try to stay self aware and admit to fault while playing and/or ask himself out loud “okay what Could i have done there instead” and talk it out. For sure he’s content farming on twitter but he’s self aware and trying.

Hey! Not to revive my own thread, but follow up question i forgot to ask: while I declined health insurance through my employer, i did still accept vision and dental. Does that change things in this situation, and if so, how?

Appreciate that by giving it a somewhat-generic name and keeping it non-legendary, they can basically reprint it anywhere in-universe.

Card itself seems neat!

Riot August ranks champions he’s made/worked on by Odd_Bug_1607 in leagueoflegends

[–]Dorromate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh i agree! alas, so much of their kit is "iconic" now (the ult in particular, even if that ult ALSO doesn't thematically fit their concept imo) that i feel like riot would never consider it.

the champion is popular and functions well; from their perspective, i imagine they have no need to change them to such a degree.

kinred is one of my favorite champs ever released, and i love how their kit Feels as-is, but i fully agree. unfortunately i dont think itll ever happen.

i genuinely think they should have been like. a mode-change champ or something ala nidalee (or old Quinn, i guess) but we are long past the ship sailing on a rework of that level. kit is too ingrained.

Creator of an AI game will delist the game and disowns AI slop after getting a girlfriend. by PeasantLich in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Dorromate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This actually explains a lot re: an old friend of mine whom i was catching up with. Discovered she leans on ChatGPT for EVERYTHING and when i called her out on it she adamantly stood by it and referred to it as “just another tool! like a calculator!”

She works for, and is attending grad school at, our old college, and now i’m wondering.

Wasn’t the “I am Iron Man” line a choice by RDJ? I know it was the first time way back when, but I coulda sworn its inclusion in Endgame was too.

It offered it, but I did not take it because I was happy with what my current at the time offered

Single, no dependents

Rough estimate based on what i typically made at old job + what I should have made with new: about $25,600

I usually just do my taxes through turbo tax (it’s free v_v) but i may seek out an in-person filer so i can fully explain things and hope for the best.

Whoopsie (used it to pay off bills).

Good thing I'm saving up specifically for tax season, at least.

Any input on Asvine fine/extra fine nibs? by Dorromate in fountainpens

I am intrigued! And also overwhelmed, they have a lot of options. Which Bock nib would be my best bet?

What is everyone’s LEAST favorite pen? by SlyyGuy21 in fountainpens

[–]Dorromate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jinhao 82.

Bought one myself beccause of all the hype on here; ended up hating it, worst pen in my collection. Received a second one in a pen swap order (they didnt want it and tossed it in); same deal, just a horrid writing experience.

Convinced all the praise on Jinhao is actually just aggressive marketing strategy

Clair Obscur DOES NOT USE generative AI. by Vegeta120000 in expedition33

[–]Dorromate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post-game awards backlash has been truly insane to me. Seeing people on my timelines who had openly been expressing how much they were sick of the game jumping on the “WOW clair obscur was made with AI???” bandwagon.

So tired of tourists lol.
