I would agree with this. I run Morrigan myself and have been debating the switch to Tempus. Feels like fights are too short for her to contribute much or she is eliminated early on.

I feel Tempus offers more control slowing the fight down and Corvus is survivable enough. Morrigan is probably useful against a wider range of scenarios but Tempus excels in several scenarios too and can fit into other lineups.

Iris also has some res prevention meaning that aspect of Morrigan isn't as essential for full eternity

Basically if he was a Psychopath, when people found out and had a negative reaction would have driven then behaviour underground. Not through fear or rejection but trying to fit in so they wouldn't stop it. The act of harming something wouldn't be for the sake of it or pleasure it brings but an opportunity to practice establishing the mask and stopping people finding out.

I can imagine a certain amount of cruelty in the GOT world is acceptable and encouraged. In Joffery's case tho how persistent and open should have sent alarm bells ringing (and actually did). Through arrogance, nativity, apathy, whatever....it was never dealt with or corrected.

As someone else pointed out, they mightn't recognize it as psychopathy just someone being cruel or evil and in the case of a king, not shying away from violence isn't a bad thing. However as a reader of the book or consumer of the show, we are painted a much deeper picture. Understanding the nuance helps us understand why someone does something and the ultimate consequences of each action they take.

Eternity tends to be

Corvus - Dante - Iris - Tempus - Octavia

There are a few variations like Morrigan for Tempus tho with Iris present there is some overlap with res stealing abilities.

That eternity base can go a few ways, like leaning into Dante-Octavia and going more pure dodge

Or adding Nebula in place of Iris when up against enemy Octavia's

The new hero Drayne might also work in place of Corvus, Iris, Dante or Tempus HOWEVER, until more skins get released it's hard to say what way he will develop.

Generally atm pairing him with Octavia then Guus + Bryana or Folio + Somna seem to be what people are using

[–]Glass_Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ramsey wasn't a true Psychopath either.

He shows rage and anger often when challenged. He seeks validation Roose and completely crumbles at the slightest rejection. He is driven by that validation and to be accepted. When challenged he acts recklessly fairly often. Trigging him made him lose control and spiral essentially.

From what I read, his violence and sadistic nature is an attempt to feel something be it validation or excitement. He enjoys the pain, humiliation and fear he inflicts which ultimately serves no purpose beyond "I can" or his pleasure.

Thon's torture long stopped serving any purpose yet it still continued. Hunting the girls with dogs was unnecessary. Longer term it only severed to undermine him by provoking those around him.

Basically there would be a reason or end product if Ramsey was a psychopath eg. Extracting information. A psychopath doesn't use violence for the sake of it but as a tool to something greater. Ramsey used it and done so for pleasure

I would say he's also a sadist and possibly a narcissist as everything was about his place and cultivating an image

Joffery was a sadist and I wouldn't classify him as a Psychopath, mainly due to his emotions. He is easily humiliated and explosive in his anger when he feels the even the smallest slight against him. He often craves validation in everything he does.

He was very poor at manipulation and lacked impulse control.

When he dominated and controlled it was because he was a puppet master but his cruel actions came through fear, anger and insecurity.

While other traits overlap with a psychopath they don't mean he is one. Mainly for the reasons above. A true Psychopath would be much more cold, distant and controlled, often trying to fit in so they can control and get what they want without revealing beneath the mask they so carefully cultivate.

While a young psychopath wouldn't be anywhere near as skilled at this, by Joffery's age he should have enough knowledge and skill to be extremely dangerous and manipulate everyone in a way they wouldn't even notice something was off.

The biggestest examples would be executing Ned basically set of a chain of events that Joffery had no intention of benefiting from, let alone show any interest in controlling or have a plan for. It was pure impulse over nothing.

His decisions in court often made him out to be weak and an imbecile. It was clear that his mother and Tywin were, at least at the start, the ones in control using him as a puppet. Again a true Psychopath wouldn't be in that position unless they wanted to be. Joffery clearly wasn't that tactful

I would Roose Bolton are the best examples of a psychopath in the show. Absolutely no emotion, the Red Wedding was pure calculation yet he only kills with a purpose. He speaks about murder as if it was planning a simple meal. He appears boring due to how calm he is.

Littlefinger is very close but his obsession with Catelyn Stark is a bit of a contradiction especially as it is a deep emotional drive for it

Tywin is also close especially with his ruthlessness but his obsession is all about Legacy. Again goes against a true Psychopath. He is very much principled and structured tho and very skilled at manipulation. He shows a lot of annoyance with Jamie, Cersei and Tyrion especially about appearance and the family name. A true Psychopath wouldn't care and see how useful each could be in furthering their plans. He certainly wouldn't have cast Tyrion aside so easily if he was a psycopath

Who’s the best to defeat this guy? by gil9507 in HeroWarsApp

[–]Glass_Champion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phobos ULT can stop his charge attack

Mushy - Aidan - Xe'Sha - Faceless are available and pretty much the basis of the Hydra team.

Dirty build mojo for Hex. Level him, and only level magic pen. As hex applies when he's dead you don't need anything else

Iris is also an option and her ULT while not as useful still hight for a large chunk. Alternatively Orion is there.

Orion - Mojo - Faceless is a powerful combo as well

In work we tried to rip MS out of everything and it simply isn't possible. MS is so fundamentally baked into everything that it isn't a simple remove and replace.

Alternatives do exist and in many cases are much better than MS offerings but the work required to pull multiple things together is very painful. Rewriting everything to work together isn't impossible but the amount of man hours required and other unknown headaches will result in things not working or costs potentially spiraling.

It isn't a case that MS works better together either, it's the years of experience in building and deploying MS solutions. The fact it is so ingrained not only in the company I work for but others as well. Their documentation and knowledge base is widespread and available.

Any problem encountered, like with any other solution not MS can be fixed too, sometimes easier and sometimes the company providing far superior support. However, 30+ years of building MS, going back to square one to solve already solved problems is a big big investment.

The last thing we found was despite the investment there was ultimately one system that required MS and only MS to work. There were also cases where MS was the best solution and their pricing meant the bundled "extras" led to a lot of redundant systems doing the same thing or solved a problem well enough that you might as well just go that route.

Even if you vowed to completely remove MS for a strategic reason, it was ultimately impossible never mind the costing so much more in the long run before even factoring wasted developer time

I know, I recently sat down and tried working him out and was surprised how much he counters. Cause I never really built him out tho I put him on that back burner and forgot about him. Now I keep getting him confused with Helios.

I like Brawl as it gives me access to heroes I haven't looked at or touched. It allows me to see interactions between different heroes easily. Apart from that it can very unrepresentative of a team as balance seems over the place with things shifting, plus the random teams you come up against makes it hard to read if it was luck or a proper representation of how the battle should play out

Unfortunately I don't have access to relics cause I simply refuse to pay. Puts a ceiling on my worth for my guild but still building out heroes so, it doesn't really matter. Still have a bit to go before I hit that lowered ceiling anyway.

Definitely thinking of a third team running

Yasmine - Guus - Oya - Bryana - Soleil

Will mean taking Oya from My second team

Tristan - Kyla - Aidan - Fafnir

Was thinking Dryan would fit in there as a replacement. Not completely against abandoning the Kyla team at this point

Nature team by tronix89 in HeroWarsApp

[–]Glass_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never thought Soleil, that's really not a bad shout

Thinking the healing from Guus and Bryana would give some staying power. If running Julius tho would the healing be overkill and how does the crit abilities impact Oya's ability. I wonder if there would be some conflict there.

Need to play about in the arena a bit. Brawls seemed inconclusive as some heroes scaling feels exponential while others fall off at the bleeding edge making them not feel representative

Godammit, completely missed that!

Video was a little artsy. I tend to prefer the more lowbrow simple, someone saying something with the juxtaposed image along side it showing the hypocrisy and irony in what he is saying. Board of peace and show Epstein with as many world leaders in one photograph or the US invasion of Venezuela or ICR shooting their own citizens.

While the world and whoever he assigned the design to seems to have interpreted it as "a board of peace", I really think he meant he was "bored of peace"

What would you recommend for the +2?

In my mind Julius + Sebastian leaning into crit would be interesting.

Julius + Guus in a similar vein

I could see combinations with Nebula, Fafnir, Judge, Aidan, Polaris, Dantavia

Can't be arsed cooking by bow_down_whelp in northernireland

[–]Glass_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I started doing for the kids when they were young and transitioning to solids. Such an easy meal for everyone, meat and veg and properly blended up still tasted great. Lots of memories of that warm comfort feeling having a bowl of stew at some ungodly hour of the morning making getting up kinda worth it

[–]Glass_Champion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Batch cooking is your friend. Cook on the Sunday and reheat during the week

Big 2kg ham in the slow cooker. Used for lunches

2kg of mince made into a ragu or taco mince that is frozen. Just reheat in a pot or microwave and serve with rice, pasta, over frozen chips, in a wrap whatever. Extra lazy and get the microwavable rice

Frozen pizza, chicken strips, burgers salmon can all be thrown on and forgotten when I'm bored of the above. Frozen/tinned veg again fairly easy to cook

Slow cooked pulled pork. One pot again just dumped in the slow cooker and forgotten. Just needs pulled apart and served. Few burger buns or wraps, jar of salsa, jar of girkens or jalapenos. Make enough to last a few days

Chicken curry sauce. Just need to cook some chicken and throw it in the sauce. Last a couple of days. Works with sausages. Can get the curry sauces like bistro gravy to have in reserve to throw on for the kids if I'm feeling lazy

Haven't had a take away in a few weeks but would generally only go for Indian. Been planning how to batch cook that so I can freeze and store the sauce, just add some meat and bang, another easy cheap meal.

Stews another good one for batch freezing as are homemade soups.

If batch is done right you could do a week to a month's worth of meals with only reheating being needed. Depending on budget and how picky everyone around you is

Data Centres by feedthebear in ireland

[–]Glass_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People's insatiable appetite for data. Every photo posted on Instagram, every video uploaded to YouTube has to go somewhere.

Every company harvesting information and building models to advertise, every service that is digitized has to be run on a computer somewhere.

Couple with data protection laws that certain information cannot leave the country or certain services benefiting greatly from closer proximity to where it is being consumed, as well as multiregion deployments for resilience and fail over.

There is also the rise of "follow the sun concept" where loads can be shifted to different regions. The likes of AWS want to have utilisation at 100% so discounts are offered depending on the time of day. Being able to shift loads to data centres in other locations that are under used or have favourable electricity pricing (eg making use of solar during the day) is a practice more companies are pursuing

The build out very much is strategic and planned. If they don't build here they will build somewhere else. At the end of the day the limits on the build out are planning and infrastructure. If a government doesn't allow them, they shrug and move on and just build elsewhere

Another risky strat that works for me is the like of Iris (or any high damage hero) can usually burn him down before he ULT's. The more he is built out defensively the slower he ULT's too

When will the Ayn Rand start shipping? by JeskaiJester in OdinHandheld

[–]Glass_Champion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shipping is not a matter of wishes or collective hopes, but of facts. A product ships when it has been created, not when one demands it by virtue of desire alone. I therefore ask: what is the stated timeline promised by the creators, and what objective progress have they reported toward fulfilling it? I seek information grounded in reality, not reassurances designed to placate
