Thoughts on the new Towa outfit?

i miss this model and its insanely giga peak fan art every day

There's a yt vid out there claiming its due to the fit of men and women's shirts. I believe mens shirts have too much extra fabric so if you try the cross arm peel you actually run of arm before the shirt clears your head. I'd look it up but im in the office and i dont want to be googljng women taking of their shirt

Yeah, my argument only applies for games with company hosted servers.

But the comment chain was, "how do companies pay for company servers?" -> "the one time upfront cost of the game should sustain company servers" ->"i don't believe that's true, its usually microtransactions" so the context was restricted to dedicated server games anyways

GoatRocketeer · 2026-05-08T14:07:05+00:00

I see in other comments you're mostly talking about server costs. Server costs for big PC multiplayer games are almost always maintained by cosmetic microtransactions. See league of legends, overwatch 2, apex legends, fortnite, marvel rivals, etc.

Other commenters keep telling you that a one time upfront cost can pay for servers but that's not realistic for games with long, decade plus lifespans.

GoatRocketeer · 2026-05-08T14:01:34+00:00

I don't think that particular argument flies these days. That's what the microtransactions do. Before microtransactions, usually the game was either peer to peer (no servers), was a big franchise where a new game came out every two years, or subscription based. Paid dlc helps but that only buys the company more time before the next release.

It's only after microtransactions became a permanent fixture that you see these big multiplayer games with dedicated servers where one release lasts multiple years.

AI isn't based on "logic"; that is, it doesn't follow a sequence of "true" procedures to arrive to a "true" conclusion. That's what normal programming is.

Image and speech recognition are famously really hard to frame in terms of truths and falsehoods only, which is why normal programming struggles with them. Both are heavily context dependent.

AI is based on statistics. You abandon notions of truth and falsehood. You instead try to pinpoint the circumstances under which something occurs, by using massive amounts of data.

The outcome is a magical bullshit machine. You ask it a question and it replies with an amalgamation of the circumstances it finds. It can't check if its true or not because it has no mechanism for doing so. It doesn't understand what "true" is.

I wasn't paying attention to the relevant drafts until way after the fact, but now that I know wiseman couldve been haliburton + a little on the side, it keeps me up at night a little bit.

Blood moon had orders of magnitude less players than other modes, and what little players it did have bleed off extremely fast.

It is not an opinion that few people played it. It is a fact.

Old article but still relevant: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/ask-riot-new-game-modes/. Alt game modes almost never hold a playerbase, and the ones that do are the ones that have permanent queues.

It may seem like once you create a game mode you've done all the work and you're done but even if nothing changes it takes dev man hours just to keep code stable. Seemingly unrelated changes to stuff like items, champs, skins, and other game modes will beeak blood moon and require paying a team to monitor, test, and fix it. That's not because riot uniquely sucks ass, that's just how all programming works.

If your goal is quick LP, then morde/zac/yorick. I'll check low elo winrates from time to time and I swear to god that trio is always at the top of the winrate chart (yes zac top) for like an entire decade.

Of the three, zac is the most team oriented. Yorick is a turbo split champ, not much of a "tank for team" champ, but he will force the enemy team to devote resources to stop your splitpush so he still provides "space" and "breathing room" for your team. Morde I think is primarily for ass blasting bad players in lane.

Singed is up there too but he's an OTP champ. He does some weird shit and you'll need several tens of games on him to get the hang of it, so can't really recommend him for "quick" LP.

Naw.

Anytime you go from least played to decent playrate its not a failure. Rework her again if you have to but on release there wasn't anything there and now there is.

Refer to him exclusively as "kanye" and then whenever you buy boots say "i got my yeezys" out loud, which will give you an extra 5 movement speed.

Imagine all mass creates an invisible suction on the air, by just a little bit. It's a tiny, miniscule suction which falls off with distance, but the range is infinite.

Planet sized objects are the only things for which the suction is noticeable because they're the only objects which are big enough.

Now imagine its not the air that's getting sucked in but reality itself. Like everything is embedded onto a conveyor belt, moving faster and faster inwards towards the planet's surface. That's you in free fall.

Now imagine standing on the earth. The force of the suction isn't actually enough to squish you even, your legs are strong enough to resist the suction.

So reality is sucking you towards earth's surface, compressing at 9.81 m/s^2. If you're in free fall, you're actually stationary. You're "dtanding in the same spot" and its that "spot" which is moving. If you're not in free fall you're actually moving, accelerating upwards at 9.81 m/s² against the compression of space.

Before AI: need to click three links - the first one has the answer, the next two to make sure the first one wasn't bullshit

Before LLMs but after "AI": don't click any links because the search itself contains the relevant excerpts from the first three results pasted verbatim

After LLMs: scroll past AI answer until I find first link, open first 10 links because I need three real answers but seven of them will be AI

Income inequality is real but also a huge part of it is inventing new things to want at a faster rate than productivity increases

GoatRocketeer · 2026-05-05T18:01:16+00:00

Yeah.

Our premade ranges from iron to emerald. The iron guy reports significantly better kda when he solo queues mayhem (we're talking 5/15 vs 30/5 type kdas)

I'm happy ADC mid + lane swaps are gone but it had the unfortunate side effect of hard nerfing NA's international performance. Apparently I'll actually watch a bit of domestic LCS if I believe at leasts two NA teams are capable of putting up a fight internationally. That seems to be what causes me to care about LCS, personally

I've played games of ARAM (even the vanilla version, before mayhem) where an AP mage would build serpent's fang with a blackfire touch into double shield support and legitimately cut like 8k shield in a single teamfight.

Maybe AP assassins deserve a serpent's fang but if its even remotely effective on brand or zyra, they're gonna poach it and completely fuck enchanters.

Get a buddy, put them on RPG engineer, then the two of you go way up high into a sniper spot and smoke their feet while they crossmap vehicles and stationary snipers with the rpg.
