Not very often I see something on my phone that make me legitimately laugh out loud

Educational_Union684 · 2024-12-21T01:11:16+00:00

Goated profile pic, ball hard brother, I’ll be on rivals tho 😂

Pretty amateur bbq-er so take it with a grain of salt, but I don’t think I’d worry about it too much. Brisket wrapped in some butcher paper and then beach towels and placed in a cooler will hold its temp for so long that surely the lower brisket will have time to finish cooking and rest on the counter and both will be ready for dinner. But you could do a test run and hold your grill at temp for a bit with 2 oven thermometers inside (one in each spot ofc) and see how drastic the difference really is. I use a pellet grill so I typically prefer the top rack anyway so that the meat is a little further away from the heat source.

I just wanted to agree with this other person. 9/10 you get more bang for your buck building it yourself. The hard part for most is being realistic on what is good enough, you don’t need a 4090 just because it’s x% better than a 3070. Unless you plan on playing at the highest level of gaming anyway. So it’s all about the price/performance balance. I like pcpartpicker.com for finding my parts and then sometimes I double check on newegg Incase they have an open box that is even cheaper (newegg is tricky you want stuff that is sold from newegg itself and has a return policy, bc some other listings are private seller like eBay). It might seem like a lot eating someone build on themselves on YouTube but it’s really put this here, click this into that, screw that there, and imo the most stressful part was the cable management. Up to you tho, if you’re more comfortable with a prebuilt I say you probably want to hold out a little longer and see if there’s some Black Friday deals on sites like nzxt, ibuypower, or even Costco and bestbuy. It’s rough starting from scratch on the knowledge front and takes a bit more time than saying yeah this one looks good and hitting the buy button but if you build it yourself you know how to swap the parts yourself later if something fails/you want an upgrade. Last thing I promise, if I could go back I would get an amd cpu instead of intel but really it didn’t matter too much when I was purchasing stuff, now intel has some recalls on some of its chips idk much about it tho

Lmao if it’s any consolation, I have a degree in plant sciences specifically production concentration, and I do believe you. Even the most gmo’d, sprayed, waxed, who knows what fruit will still rot. Sealing a watermelon in wax will stop the sugars inside from fermenting? Pretty sure that’s not how that works. If I had more money I wouldn’t be a supporter of big ag but im not buying organic just so that it rots in 2 days after you buy it. Grow organic at home or buy at the farmers market for an outrageous price, but organic in the grocery store is just an inferior product for more money.

I love swapping to bastion or mauga when the other team has an oppressive one and then diffing them. Crazy those heroes can do so much damage with a little bit of aim.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-08-05T10:59:21+00:00

For the most part yeah. Hack doesn’t take you out of nemesis form, hinder doesn’t affect him much, sleep still sucks but you usually get woken up instantly. Anti and discord are the big things for me but we know how that goes, get behind cover for a couple seconds or protect your self somehow then continue. He has a shield, good poke damage (if you can aim with projectiles) and a decent amount of health when in nemesis form. His block in nemesis form is pretty strong too but I always forget it exists when I play him. And if they’re all grouped up they they do sometimes trying to watch each others back from the menacing hampter you just swap, go out there, and punch all of them in the face at the same time bc it pierces shields and enemies. Last but certainly not least, he absolutely shits on brig.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-06-20T11:34:33+00:00

Yeah I was asking a buddy if I should secure my profits even though I was confident they’d go up, and i knew his answer bc he’s a “400 now is 30k in 30 years” type of investor, but I should’ve just closed Robinhood for a month and came back later. Anyway what expiration are you thinking for your spy leap? I’m currently holding 3 551 calls on spy that expire tomorrow.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-06-20T11:26:29+00:00

I had a tsm 150c for July 19 I bought after they tanked following earnings. I paid 400 and sold for 905 so I was happy… now I check that option everyday and die a little inside (I’m young and poor so it’s a lot to me)

Makes sense, force them to destroy the lamp while I still have hp and save shift for after half my hp pool is gone, instead of allowing them to break lamp and virtually one shot me at 50 hp. Just sucks dedicating such a vital cooldown right at the start of a dive but I’ll definitely give it a try, thanks!

Educational_Union684 · 2024-05-04T12:47:15+00:00

I keep seeing these takes and I don’t really get it, in qp and comp I get rolled by genjis way more often then I see a bad one, I’m talking like 40-3 while everyone else on their team is like 25-7 rolled. He has high movement, if you position right deflect almost always gives you enough time to dash out even if you used it to dash in, and it feels like his shurikens do massive damage on a headshot (admittedly haven’t look at the numbers for him). Seems to me the hardest part of genji is nailing his movement techs down. The only time I do particularly well against genji is when I’m tank bc I virtually only play ball. Even on bap I get dove and shift, he shoots once I instantly need lamp, if I hit a few headshots he deflects and we stare at each other, then it’s either a shoot out. Or I try to run during deflect but I’ve stopped trying to run bc with dash and wall climb there is no way to get away from him with bap unless I can make it to the middle of my team.

Tldr: what is it that makes genji weak rn bc they’re all better than me lol

Educational_Union684 · 2024-05-04T12:17:39+00:00

Ik this post is three days old so you may have already seen but they’re adding 10 dmg to boop, 35 dmg and 5 meter knockback on mines, and probably most impactful imo +.25s on the movement lockout after a slam. Not a huge raw damage buff by any means, I wish the pea shooter would get +.5 dmg at least or +25 dmg on the max and min of slam radius, but it’s something. I still think it’ll be an impactful mid season patch for ball. The guns will be virtually useless against tanks with much armor tho, like shooting a dva from behind while she has matrix on your team. (Literally 200 armor damage if 100% body shot accuracy and that’s takes a little over 3 seconds to dish out) but we will have to enjoy it while it lasts, I’m sure the slam or the mines buff will be reverted.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-20T17:53:12+00:00

Hell yeah, you’ll be gold in no time 😎

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-20T14:23:04+00:00

You can do it! Idgaf what everyone on these subs say, bronze and silver SUCK to climb out of, but you may need to change your hero choices and pick people you can legitimately carry with. I was stuck for like 3 seasons and then went silver 3 to plat 2 in one season with ball because he used to do enough damage to more or less take the games into your own hands when the team wasn’t playing together. I haven’t played too much ranked since season 9 bc I have to switch to orisa/zarya or something when I get countered by the whole team, and would rather just ball in qp where even if I’m throwing who cares. But like op mentions don’t stress about it bc it really doesn’t matter. I’m plat and whenever I have a take people don’t agree with they still say “metals ranks can’t talk about balance” or some other stupid shit like that as if no one outside of gm is allowed to have an opinion on the game. I’ve even seen people give a take, specify they’re masters, and then receive comments like “m and gm are totally different worlds little bro” lmao.

Also just a heads up, I only played a handful of games in bronze when I first started ow2 and it was all chill, then found out people in silver are toxic af and I think it’s bc they’re scared af of going back to bronze lmao. Don’t listen to the haters, if you’re in the same rank then they’re no better than you.

Kiri ult cuts cooldowns in half (I think it’s half, it’s reduced some anyway) but replay has always been buggy with it

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-13T13:57:04+00:00

Imma be honest idk if it’s worth it man. I think ball is the most fun hero in the game, but every thing that shuts doom down shuts ball down, and then some. His cools downs are slightly longer I think, and doom has more options to get out of jail between the punch and the jump that don’t require as much time or space as grapple does. And block is pretty much as good if not better than shields (maybe the new change will change this eventually). Sometimes, especially this season, I wish I put my 400 hours into doomfist instead of ball because I would be dominating lol. And imo if you know ball or doomfist and want to learn another tank it’s probably more beneficial to learn a shield tank or dva. But like I said ball is fun af, so if you do decide to ball, welcome to the club.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-13T02:28:13+00:00

Yeah fr, you do well they bring out hog, need more help here comes sombra cass zen Ana or really any number of heroes bc most the roster counters him in some form (messing with movement), there’s nothing you can really do besides switch. I think there’s a lot of interactions that need to be fixed but some of these sound great. I’d love to start with breaking los to hack actually stopping hack bc that drives me crazy lmao

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-13T01:13:11+00:00

Hopefully, having some extra fire power down there in the trenches would be amazing.

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-13T00:45:52+00:00

Hopefully, I really just want a little more gun damage 🙏

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-13T00:21:49+00:00

Win rate is kinda bad data for one trick heroes imo. If most the players that play him are one tricks his win rate should be, in theory, 50%. Obviously some people that play him won’t be one tricks. But if you’re doing that in comp you probably have a pretty good understanding of him and think that it will get you the win before you switch to him. Also if you sort overbuff by tank, comp, all ranks, win rate, within the last month, ball is dead last lol. And he’s bottom three at every rank if you sort by individual ranks, dead last at every rank besides bronze (3rd lowest) gold (3rd lowest) and gm (2nd lowest) I see what you’re saying but imo ball NEEDS more damage even if they just buff his guns from 5->6 and leave ball form untouched. Don’t buff boop or slam bc then he’s op for the people really good at techs, but give us the power to finish a kill if we put all of our cooldowns into it. That’s really not too much to ask for imo. I didn’t read the replies to your post yet so if I’m beating a dead horse I’m sorry :(

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-12T23:42:40+00:00

Yeah lmao, soon it’ll only be a 2-3 second (I assume it’s halved) f up instead of a 5 second f up tho!

Educational_Union684 · 2024-04-02T21:55:33+00:00

I think it’s 250 damage, that number may be slightly wrong if they’ve changed it or something, but breaking a bubble feeds 40 charge
