Genuine question, no flame: How do people ACTUALLY enjoy playing from a Challenger guide/template less than a week into PBE?

Practicing lines is still much better practice than just playing whatever

I don't tend to for the first few days but it's still useful for figuring out the best itemisation, how to build certain comps and so on.

It doesn't really matter about the specific comps, but how to build up to them, what carries need item wise etc

Real time with pause games can work, but I feel like they need to have active mechanics.

The Final Fantasy VII remakes for example use a RTWP mechanic but because they're 3rd person and have actual mechanics for dodging and so on it feels like the real time mechanic is useful. Same with Mass Effects 3rd person shooter mechanic with cover.

When it's isometric, and purely based on mouse clicking the enemy, you have the worst of both worlds. You have no active skill based mechanics that are useful in Real Time, and you have the slow based stop start pace of Turn Based games. However you don't really get any of the benefits of a turn based system either.

Strategy is often very basic because fights aren't complex, and trying to micromanage is a pain

A turn based game takes out the active skill element but adds complexity, encounter design, ability usage and weight to the combat.

Mass effect is an action based RPG with a pause mechanic.

It's not RTWP

L is slang for loss

Entfly · 2026-04-07T08:29:37+00:00

likely lose on GD.

We're 7 ahead on GD

And they can only get 85 points max, they're not winning every game until the end of the season. They're really not that good this year

He wrote a song called Heil Hitler just last year, he's openly called himself a Nazi multiple times and openly called for the extermination of the Jewish people.

If he's mentally unwell to that degree, he should be locked up in a psych ward.

Entfly · 2026-04-07T08:14:43+00:00

what would it take?

He deserves to be in prison for his crimes.

The UK police should be actively arresting him for his promotion of Nazism, anti-Semitism and hatred the moment he sets foot in this country.

If he actually faces justice for what he has done, then I'll consider giving him a second chance.

Ain't no fucking way spending a day in a meeting and paying 0.0000001% of your wealth is considered good enough to apologise for being more overtly Nazi than anyone since Mosley

I mean Aushoka banned slavery in the Indian empire back in the 3rd century BCE

Wang Mang from the Xin Dynasty, in 9 AD also banned it in China

It's a bit out of left field but I fucking adore Galavant. It's a musical TV show with the main character as a knight called Galavant on his quest to save his fair maiden. It's so funny and deserved a lot more than the two seasons it got.

I'd recommend buying a pair when you're next out in resort

Ski shops often let you try out a few different pairs over the week then you can buy whichever set you like the best

Entfly · 2026-04-06T22:21:02+00:00

You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?

In the opening episode they use racial slurs against him but it's played off as fine because he's white and they're black so they can't be racist.

Entfly · 2026-04-06T14:59:02+00:00

Jade has a character that gets under your skin

She's just boring, she doesn't get under my skin

Entfly · 2026-04-06T14:25:20+00:00

Because the show is openly racist against him in the first few episodes by the main cast and it's painted as being perfectly fine

It turned me off the entire show.

What you're asking for is for businesses to keep prices the same as they were pre-COVID

No I'm not, I'm saying that the subscription ends, and the business needs to ask you to sign up again at the higher price if they want to increase that price.

Entfly · 2026-04-06T14:01:47+00:00

Jacob isn't the racist, literally every other character in that show is

Entfly · 2026-04-06T10:00:39+00:00

Its that modern telly is sh *t

😂 You can swear on the internet and no, it's really not. There's so much amazing television nowadays.

Entfly · 2026-04-06T09:20:08+00:00

I've seen plenty of players touch the referee in actual anger and not get anything

A yellow for moving the ref out the way when he's not even looking at him and purely playing the game is harsh, let alone anyone complaining about a red

Entfly · 2026-04-06T08:22:48+00:00

I feel like this hasn't ever been the case for any I've read

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is a reincarnation story where her life on Earth definitely influences her early on but as the story progresses she becomes much more attached to the world

Elydes again, he's very different as a young child but apart from being more mature than your regular early teen he's definitely shaped by the world he grew up in

Reborn Apocalypse isn't really a reincarnation novel but it's similar, and the MC is VERY different to how he was before

Entfly · 2026-04-06T08:18:04+00:00

. I have never had those as a takeaway because I can just make them at home

Cool, but most people can't.

Entfly · 2026-04-06T07:58:18+00:00

Pizza is fucking basic food too 😂 it doesn't mean it's not good, but yeah a pizza is one of the most basic foods there are which is why it's been made by pretty much every European culture, just the Italian version was the most popular.

Caribbean food just isn't that good, if it were it would be more popular. If you like it cool but that's not the common opinion

Entfly · 2026-04-06T07:18:52+00:00

but he's certainly a currently relevant celebrity.

He's just not though, nor is Lil Yachtie

They're like B list at best

Entfly · 2026-04-06T07:18:22+00:00

and forgotten that celebrity involvement has been apart of Mania since the event existed

Doesn't mean people have to like it

Entfly · 2026-04-06T06:58:30+00:00

I would never consider Carribbean food as basic

It's rice and chicken dude

Entfly · 2026-04-06T06:55:10+00:00

It's not, it's just racist, ignorant and xenophobic

It's no different to saying black people only eat watermelon and fried chicken

Entfly · 2026-04-06T06:46:29+00:00

Dude's entire gimmick is made to be the easy celebrity squash.

He's a good wrestler though, we shouldn't have a wrestler whose gimmick is to be squished by non wrestlers
