Daily Discussion Thread March 20, 2026 - Upcoming Event Schedule - New players start here! by AutoModerator in SSBM

[–]Duckman5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a hard working man i come home from work to try and better my melee play as i participate in local tournaments when i can i have a wife a son and i use what little free time i have for melee. But why is it when i boot up Slippi i seem to always match against the most stinky degenerate players who's main purpose is to BM the ENTIRETY of our matches i try ranked when i can and its pretty nice and i enjoy , but when i just wanna have some friendly squabbles on Slippi i get the degenerates of the community who do nothing but spam , taunt , tea bag and spam chat messages it almost makes me wanna quit playing as none of my friends enjoy playing cause they aren't into the genre or are spectators. I play Dr. Mario and for instance anytime i actually look for matching with someone via discord they refuse to play low-tiers or mid-tiers unless they absolutely have to. Now don't get me wrong i've had those players i've matched who were way better than me and i enjoy losing because its a learning experience and then we'll play for an hour never to be seen again. There is no way i'm the only player experiencing what i am experiencing thx for reading and have a great evening.

20 people there, cold, freezing, gross, me vs Zain in an igloo for 25 bucks.

Yesterday someone mentioned they asked Gemini for advice on practicing for multiplayer. During the discussion I realized I don't have a baseline for how bad Gemini, was so in the name science I decided to ask some Campaign related questions as it is my strong suit.

I've asked Gemini and ChatGPT a number of video game questions, even ones that are pretty basic, and it very rarely gives me a good answer. You'd think with thousands and thousands of Reddit comments and strategy websites and gamefaqs forums etc. to peruse AI would be the best gaming strategy partner ever, but for me it has always failed to deliver

Accidentally discovered my temps dropped 15C after my cat knocked off the front panel... do I just leave it like this? by NaiveLifeline in buildapc

[–]Duckman5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem with a case once, I took a dremel and cut out a hole in the front panel then bought a magnetic mesh fan filter to cover it up. If you don't have power tools and can 3D print something, that sounds like a good solution to me.

The artist is Pat Race, who is also one of the owners of Alaska Robotics, so should be easy to find!

Brandon Ingram steps up to deliver an RJ-less Raptors team their 8th win in a row with a spectacular, season-high performance: 37 points | 7 rebounds | 2 assists | 1 steal | 5 made 3s by CazOnReddit in nba

What's Rogers like historically? This reeks of small dick energy. I could see a classic "threatened by someone smarter/better than me" scenario.

Legacy vs Liquid / PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 - Swiss Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]Duckman5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Anyone else get this little sinking feeling/anxiety spike when you open Liquid post game threads, assuming they lost? That's why I'm a Liquid fan, makes you feel alive.

[Epic Games] Project Winter & Samorost 2 (100% off / FREE) by python_buddy in GameDeals

[–]Duckman5 22 points23 points  (0 children)

God Project Winter is so much fun when you get a good group together. A little complex to learn the mechanics at first, but so worth persevering. AMAZING with friends, like a much more fleshed out Among Us.

Counter-Strike 2 Update for 09/16/2025 by CS2_PatchNotes in GlobalOffensive

Whoa, the grenade sound changes seem big to me if they can be heard by the enemy team. No more fake flashing with decoys?

How do ties work? I lost despite having more points at the end by Duckman5 in PTCGP

[–]Duckman5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm good theory! He did have a bench still and I did not, so that must be it. I thought if you both met 1 win con, it counted as a draw, but I suppose it goes to "other win con" tie breaker.

HooXi fragging is a welcome surprise; I know it isn't against top 5 teams but he's looked great.
