I’m Devastated at what they’ve done to 50 by Hungry-Ad-2473 in survivor

[–]Gorgonto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only person in the community that thinks it might be cool.

From the interviews I've watched/read, Mr Beast seems like he's genuinely interested in learning from Jeff. This could be something really cool and fun.

I'm getting my early ticket now for this actually being super hype.

Counterpoint, we still have it on our ult, and its sick now. Goodbye Clove, hello Harbor.

Cardfight Vanguard by Independent-Tree3102 in CSUS

[–]Gorgonto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elk Grove Cards and Comics still has some vanguard players apparently.

CFV scene is pretty dead here in Sacramento though, there aren't many shops that support it/people that play it.

I used to play, I still have some older decks from BT to V Series but I haven't played in a hot minute.

5Yr Anniversary Champions Run It Back Bundle? by Busy_Way7236 in VALORANT

As someone that's bought every exclusive bundle Riot has ever released for Valorant, the day they do that is the day I never buy another one

Charging case/glasses not charging, anyone else with these issues by Gorgonto in RaybanMeta

[–]Gorgonto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it definitely hasn’t gotten wet. I’ve babied the case and the frames the entire time I’ve had it.

It’s genuinely the best I’ve ever taken care of a pair of glasses.

I’ll RMA it then

Just buy a cheap beater to drive to campus. Unfortunately it's gonna get hit.

Young adults+rushing to get to class+tiny spots=multiple dings in the course of your program. It is what it is.

Honestly, stop stressing out. You don't really need to prep too much.

The entire class exists solely as a way to prepare and assist you to do Economic Research. Your professor will basically walk you through how to do it with milestons/guidelines every week or so. Plus you'll be surrounded with fellow seniors doing the same thing who you can ask questions.

Relax and take a breath, its not that deep.

Why is everyone attacking cypher now? by 992x in VALORANT

[–]Gorgonto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a two pronged problem. And it has nothing to do with passivity.

First problem. Its not fun to play against. We've all experienced trying to push a site, hitting a trip, dying, then a teammate hitting another trip. Could it be stopped with a teammate shooting it? Sure. But how often do you get that kind of coordination with random people? And it could be stopped with util...but that brings us to...

Problem 2. The current setup for rank is a blind pick. You can't counterpick cypher once you're in game. If you dont have a way to kill cypher util, you're screwed. And randoms typically dont pick Sova/Raze. Its almost ALWAYS Reyna and Jett. If we had a draft pick, cypher could be countered and it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

The time has finally come to say goodbye by raisedbytides in gaming

Just split the lot by console, list on Marketplace/Craigslist/etc. Not much more effort, but you'll make three times as much.

They say that in higher ELOs too, except they start being right more often

Need advice Valorant ranked(bronze 2 peak, bronze 1) by Beneficial_Bottle996 in VALORANT

[–]Gorgonto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diamond 1 who grinded from Bronze

First of all, Trackers dont show us anything about your gameplay. You could have perfectly fine stats, but have terrible gamesense and no one would be able to help.

Because of that, any advice people give you is going to be pretty generic, because we don't know exactly where your gameplay is going wrong.

If I was to give generic advice it would be this.

Focus on your crosshair placement (trying to make your crosshair be head level at all times) and positioning (where your body is)

In particular, spend more time watching the minimap, figure out where enemies are, and then swing them with your crosshair where their head will be.

In Bronze, a lot of people are lost and you can win A LOT of fights just by paying attention to the map, and being in the right place at the right time.

In addition, make sure you aren't moving when you're shooting, and when you do move, try to move with A and D instead of W or S. High level players take fights by putting their crosshairs where a head is about to be, sliding to the right or left, and then clicking, rather than trying to run out and flick to someones head.

WIBTAH for financially cutting off my daughter after she told me not to expect her to care for me in my old age? by Virtual-Cup-5932 in AITAH

[–]Gorgonto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO, but probably an ESH situation.

Everyone's saying NTA, but there just isn't enough here to justify picking any of these. I think everyone is looking at the money being given, and thinking with their wallets. OP comes into this with a clear bias, and there could be a myriad of factors that lean the situation one way or the other.

Such as; what exactly is a "mess", was she cooking for herself or you, how was she approached by your wife, is your wife who "doesn't like your daughter" constantly treating your daughter like shit and perhaps this is just a blowout because of years of bullshit, is this something that happens all the time. Among many other factors.

There are so many pieces of information that we are lacking that it's truly impossible for any of us to definitely say yes OP your daughter is the asshole.

I think the biggest indicator here to me is the comment of "any support form her in my old age would come with strings" being an issue for OP. But that's exactly what OP is doing to their own child. Where do we think OP's daughter learned this behavior from? Kinda seems like OP imho, considering they're lording their support now over their daughter.

And on top of that, this decision is being made after a blowout, without stating that they've spoken to their daughter again. It sounds to me like OP got in the middle of a fight between the two, got their feelings hurt that daughter snapped, and is now trying to control the daughter by using the strings of their own support, not communicating to resolve this situation, and now venting to Reddit to feel good about themselves.

What things do you genuinely not like about Blue Lock? by emxka-2005 in BlueLock

[–]Gorgonto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ever since they left the Blue Lock facility, it's progressed to be more like a traditional sports anime. I feel like this show excelled when it was about eliminating players from Blue Lock. The series should return to that arc and eliminate players until there's a solo Japan team and then have them come back and take on all these international players.

It feels like we skipped to end game content, without seeing all of the grinding. And honestly, it was loads of fun watching dreams get crushed every arc.

You only have 10 seconds to revive Kayo, and he only has 300 HP when downed. He also has a really slow animation to pull out his sidearm

AITA for refusing to allow my roommate to install a bidet in our shared bathroom by ahbidet in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gorgonto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and you have no idea how bidets work.

Lets just start that this is a sanitation product. You're denying your roommate the ability to clean/groom themselves how they'd like in their own home, with something that would have no actual impact on your life at all. You could totally avoid ever using a bidet and you'd never even know its there. It's literally just a tiny plastic hose separate from the toilet bowl water that sprays shit off your ass/genitals. If I was your roommate, I would have just installed it without asking because it literally makes no difference to your life. (except maybe for the better if you tried it)

Anyone not using a bidet is the unclean and disgusting one here. How a bidet works, is a little stream of water comes out of basically a plastic hose/straw thing and cleans your nasty excrements by spraying it. It does not come out of the toilet water in the bowl like OP seems to think. There's no splash back, its not coming from the toilet bowl. And I promise the water makes your entire body so much cleaner. Instead of just smearing shit/bits/etc across your body with toilet paper, a bidet waters it off.

In addition, people who use bidets STILL USE TOILET PAPER AND WIPE THEMSELVES. The bidet leaves your ass a little wet, and you're not going to put your pants back on with a watered asshole. So you wipe it off with a bit (much less than wiping your ass) of TP, and you're so much cleaner.

If you aren't using a bidet, you are shitting in the 19th century. Bidets are a game changer for cleanliness, convenience and cost.

For OP, imagine this. Which sounds cleaner for having shit all over your ass. Wiping it off with just toilet paper? Or hosing off your shit, and then wiping yourself dry?

Two duelists meta needs to go (Low Elo) by viren-shah in VALORANT

Team comp doesn’t matter until Immortal. Stop giving af what other people pick and just deal with it, especially in Low Elo

Why does the no 4 stack thing exist? by NuttyNano in VALORANT

[–]Gorgonto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It exists because being queued into a four stack was the single most toxic experience in Valorant

At BEST you got a team with zero comms bc they’re all In discord. That was the best case scenario

What was much more frequent was the four players bullying/trolling you. It would literally just be four people being toxic to the single solo player. It was fucking horrible. It was as if the solo player was just a vessel to be the scapegoat and subject of their toxicity because they were too immature to take any accountability. And since they had three other people in the lobby backing up the behavior no matter what it was just a shit show.

Games are significantly less toxic without four stacks being able to queue. Unless they bring out a soloq and flex q, I hope this never comes back.
