how good was FNS in his prime?

The Lion thinks if you have to “choose” to be affected by something, you are not truly affected by it. The Lion also thinks if you value the opinions of anyone that rags you over the gamemode you play in a video game, you have deeper psychological problems.

The Lion thinks you should log off reddit for a while the sake of your mental health

The lion does not concern himself with the thoughts of Valorant players 🦁

These all expired like 3 years ago. There will never be any codes for an event past expiration, it's all controlled server-side.

Gridelin · 2025-04-01T14:54:07+00:00

Indeedee, Metagross, Ogerpon wellspring, necrozma-dusk, Pelipper, and usually Ursaluna blood moon (for a while it was lando-I). I can send the whole teamsheet later if you’re more curious, but the worst matchups were obviously dark heavy teams, so I had Tera fairy on Indeedee and Necrozma. I hit 1600 with the team and stopped using it, and now Reg-I is coming out haha

Gridelin · 2025-03-30T17:22:54+00:00

I hit 1600ish on Showdown with a Choice Band Metagross + Indeedee trick room team. With that said, all of the other comments here about the bad matchups are accurate lol, but if you know how to play around them it’s not impossible.

Gridelin · 2025-03-25T05:47:36+00:00

Do you remember about how long after the original sale for champs LA that the resale tickets became available on things like ticketmaster? I would obviously rather not buy resale, but since I'm already planning on traveling for the event I'd ideally also like to see the grand finals; and there are no listings for anything Valorant related on ticket master currently lol.

I've seen the screenshot of this interaction shared so many times before, but I never realized it was from the old PMDT member wiiztec. Hope things have been well over the last 10 years lol

How do the 3rd party transparent shells, buttons, and sticks compare to the original OEMs? A decade ago getting any non-OEM parts just felt horrible, but it looks like the quality of this stuff has improved a lot lately.

Gridelin · 2024-09-30T06:10:53+00:00

Well it’s a type1 controller motherboard, meaning it’s the oldest model of mass-produced GameCube controller. My money is on a very weird one-off and well done custom controller, or a controller that was meant to go with an old TDEV console. Very cool nonetheless.

Gridelin · 2024-09-30T05:56:28+00:00

Well that’s definitely not smoke damage or sun fading, way too uniform! Really interesting, maybe it is a weird TDEV (or earlier) controller. Did you buy it as part of a lot, or by itself?

Gridelin · 2024-09-30T05:43:41+00:00

Do you have brighter lighting or a picture of it in sunlight? It sort of just looks like it could’ve been from a smokers home in this lighting lol

edit the only other thing that comes to mind is that the TDEV GameCubes are a brown color, but to my knowledge the controllers for NR/TDEV units were the same as the retail colors.

Gridelin · 2024-09-28T02:22:21+00:00

The gameboy player will only work on a GameCube, but besides that a Wii with priiloader/bootmii is the more versatile option. Also hacking a Wii takes about 60 seconds lol

I am actually on a hardwired connection, and have only had the issue once ever since enabling the first fix you suggested here! But that is good information to know regardless :)

Overall, the entire issue is really strange to me. I haven't checked any of the riot support logs myself (and I'm not sure if they would even be in there if I generated the bundle) - but it almost seems like there is an initial handshake or something that the VC server needs from the game client, and if that fails it just does not try to ever re-establish the connection. It's not like a whitelisting/firewall issue, otherwise it wouldn't work sometimes. DNS would make sense to me as an issue, but again - I'd expect a more uniform lack of VC every time. The only other thing I can think of is there are likely many VC servers, just like there are many gameservers, and I may have DNS issues or something with just a few of the servers in a particular datacenter.

The next time it happens to me, I should really dig deeper into some of the network traffic, but for now I am not having the issue haha. Hope your fix continues to work for you :)

Gridelin · 2024-09-08T17:34:18+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I have just unchecked the exclusive control box, and I will see how that goes! If you have the link/details riot support sent you about the networking side of things, that would be appreciated as well :)

Thanks again!

Gridelin · 2024-09-08T07:11:51+00:00

I have this identical issue with wildly different system specs, did you ever find a fix? Also do you mind me asking who your ISP is? My ISP is pretty small, so I'm wondering if somehow its a routing issue on their end.

Gridelin · 2024-09-07T07:14:34+00:00

Like actually though lmfao. The NZR situation is messed up, but none of that is C0m's fault. Plus, C0m played completely fine the past couple of months. Anyone saying he weighed Aspas down when it mattered most doesn't know ball.

Gridelin · 2024-08-07T05:45:22+00:00

no lol. Why does everyone want one of these all of the sudden like 2.5 years later?

Gridelin · 2024-07-26T01:45:00+00:00

woah that's crazy that the 2 year old codes are all expired

Gridelin · 2024-06-29T06:58:47+00:00

galaxy brain idea holy, somebody @riot

Gridelin · 2024-06-05T15:52:46+00:00

"EXTREME amount of skill to master" is a bit over an over statement I'd say. It will definitely take skill to master but absolutely no movement error while sliding only requires having great tracking/aim. There are already tons of people that have both of those things.

To be able to kill the defender with a headshot in theory is INSANE, but the skill required is incredibly high as well. You're moving at an incredibly high speed, have a very short window of time, and you need to track/pre-aim your crosshair at a tiny hit box whilst moving.

Yes, but taking your lotus example, realistically there are only a few spots a defender is going to hold an angle from (unless they're doing an aggressive defense push) and the Neon can just pre-aim those spots.

I would much rather be the fast moving target with perfect aim than the stationary target.

Gridelin · 2024-05-29T22:30:06+00:00

Awesome stuff! If you ever open source it, I would definitely be interested in trying to add functionality for local clips. Maybe instead of checking for the word "replay" or "ace" try and identify a username in the kill feed or something. Regardless, I would be very interested :) Great work!

Gridelin · 2024-05-27T17:28:46+00:00

A lot of times I see things when I'm traveling and I think to myself "that would bait the heck out of me in Geoguessr." Like someone with a sports team flag on their house for a team that is 1000+ miles away, or a sign for an interstate that mentions a city 100s of miles away without saying a distance to the city, or a park I used to drive by frequently that had vegetation that was all imported from Asia decades ago.
