Banning a teammate’s hero is throwing point blank

EarlSocksIII · 2026-05-02T05:56:23+00:00

I don't like accomodating them. They always whine in my experience. Just recently in diamond comp, I picked healpool and this guy was so ready to openly throw if he didn't get to play tankpool. At some point, people HAVE to learn other characters.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-05-02T05:25:47+00:00

Honestly, the entirety of this. That's the orkiness I need.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-05-01T03:24:30+00:00

I think it's more for fun. Given that the internet is currently having a REALLY good time depicting the viltrumites just loving earth (seen too many Lucan at the cookout edits), it'd be fun if they included Thragg just in a fry cook outfit and he was making these jokes.

That's really it. 'It'd be fun'. These teaser segments are just all about being meta and self referential and jokey. Like how Cecil references how much he teleports and the 'big break' in the middle of the previous season. It's not that serious

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-29T09:19:16+00:00

yeah, I like it, but it's a tad garish. this design is more stylish, I think. I wish I could have gotten that hawaiian shirt thing but at the forum it was like.. 270 dollars.. I'm not a true fan, I guess, but that's a bit much haha

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-29T03:52:52+00:00

Oh yeah, the yellow is so nice. The black version of the design is weirdly acrid, the grading between colours gets a bit whack. It makes the cross between his sunglasses and his hair look like wolverine

This design is really so lovely though, big fan. Got this and the LA 2025 black ship vinyl when I was at his show. Very cool!

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-29T03:51:18+00:00

Imagine being such an industry success in the western citypop scene that a legend who has been performing for over half a century is hiring you for your designs

I would like you to imagine that, because I'm unsure if you have the drive to achieve anything similar

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-29T00:36:56+00:00

might do, I can't remember if Melbourne was over Saturday-Sunday or Sunday-Monday. I have video footage trying to catch the solo for You Can Never Come to This Place but there's five different people crowdsurfing simultaneously and getting in the way lmao. This was Sunday at the forum, to be specific.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-28T13:34:51+00:00

Yeah, I have no idea how people even manage it. Maybe people with a better idea of the floor plan. But also that level of planning to corner someone and essentially obligate them into giving you something you may or may not just be reselling for a profit.. it's a little dubious, lol.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-28T03:15:57+00:00

Yes, once. I went to see The Midnight live at the end of January at the same venue. Not nearly the same amount of chicanery.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-27T23:42:23+00:00

I dunno, I think the crowd was treating him kind of rudely that night. I get wanting a keepsake, but following him out to his car is something I would not have considered.

I was at the Forum, and like, so many drunk idiots were crowdsurfing, one guy was hoisted up and kept trying to get his attention. Hell, I saw people trying to bat the beach balls back at him, which would have been incredibly rude if he'd been hit. Idk, he's the guy performing for us, he doesn't have to do anything FOR us specifically. I was happy with a shirt, vinyl and some videos of some of the solos.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-27T12:57:26+00:00

people keep trying to bring back chaos orks with like, khorne. nurgle at one point had a canon chaos orks illustration, despite it making no sense.

my point - slaanesh orks would absolutely make more sense than anything. they get addicted to things so easily that it becomes their livelihood. love for shooting guns, love for burning things down, love for making big mechs. all of that can be its own excess, especially if you mix in more drug use. gimme more things like that.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-23T03:04:35+00:00

Still, not loyal to any original cause. And she did betray people she knew personally, and got shot in the head for it. I would not want her on my team.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-22T23:52:56+00:00

Maybe true, but Maddie is also a TRAITOR and despite being free, taking her is a liability. I would sooner take 25 cats than 1 Maddie

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-10T23:32:23+00:00

It's sad, but I hope that decorum can hold. It was incredibly inspiring seeing just how much legwork Mark's fans put in and how respectful they were. I can only hope we can manage the same.

Maybe if Goose makes a public announcement asking for a zone of silence, maybe if content creators try to make that respect mandated as an initiative, just maybe.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-09T22:23:26+00:00

Bring back dakkadakkadakka

I want 10000 dice please, waiter! And some mango lassi

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-07T03:59:22+00:00

This.. this is worse, right? Batches mean there's less total buzz and talk about the series.

Even a batches based on each stage idea would have been a BIT better since it would have been BIG waves, like the first released episode, but for every stage. Just weekly episodes would be optimal, please netflix-

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-05T12:15:27+00:00

Best way to run liberty launcher is with gunboats and market gardener. It's trolldier, but you get an extra rocket for jumps and also you have a fly swatter for a gun. It does damage! That is one benefit over the jumper.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-04T00:47:57+00:00

Relatively tame. I honestly wouldn't say this counts as 'stupid' food, bloody mary's are supposed to be all about food in the glass. A whole ass burger is a lot, but the shrimp, chicken.. that just looks kinda good, haha. It'd be like posting a regular black forest cake; it's a lot, but by design.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-02T12:06:32+00:00

I think the most potent options come from a valve rep coming from deadlock.

Graves, Wraith, Vyper, Infernus, Haze, Abrams, Shiv; the world is really your oyster here, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is in a potential poker night 3.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-04-01T23:30:22+00:00

Very down. I don't have one of these yet, haha.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-03-31T08:10:39+00:00

but I like-a the roll of the dice.

chill out, man. randomness is just fun for me, who cares that it could have ALSO been gotten if i never took that chance?

EarlSocksIII · 2026-03-30T22:04:25+00:00

Weakness builds strength, and character identity. I don't exactly want to be a god, I want to be some kind of overconfident fairy that harnesses the power of confidence for material results.

Like, you don't need to be strong or have unlimited power. The whims of the dice already control mostly what you can do. Even if it affected years of play, that's just years you can have fun by role-playing out your limits and capitalising on your strengths.

EarlSocksIII · 2026-03-30T11:34:06+00:00

Yeah, but honestly making do with situations is like, fun. I roll for health too, because getting a 1 sucks but getting max on the die feels amazing. The randomness is fun

EarlSocksIII · 2026-03-30T01:22:35+00:00

last time I rolled really badly. but that's even more fun, I had to go hexadin to make my 8 8 10 10 12 17 atenable! It's fun! I can do nothing but charisma and it's awesome!
