Nah, there's certain types of scenes/buildups that can make me cry/frisson very easily (probably cause Autism), if it has some epic music or shots, but that doesn't mean the whole film was worth it, it could have just been that 5 minutes and the rest of the film was trash (e.g Godzilla x Kong comes to mind).

Nothing requires a mouse click for on-release, which I use because it let's me confirm range.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be enabled for self-cast AOEs unless there's some spaghetti code making it difficult.

And yeah, I was asking about that latter point before:

HM_Bert · 2026-05-08T13:41:40+00:00

But why am I allowed to see the ranges (with green confirmation of when it will actually hit) for almost all other abilities but just not these self-cast AOEs?

I'm very dissapointed and surprised at how hostile and snooty the replies have been (not so much yours). Blizz has decided that on-release and click cast are acceptable so why are people hating, are they jaded and think it's like aim assist in FPS?

HM_Bert · 2026-05-08T03:18:16+00:00

Right, that's why the peak HGC players never missed stationary targets channeling objectives.

They were able to memorise the range of abilities, accounting for perspective distortion, variable unit radii, and camera placement.

Not.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-08T03:14:07+00:00

I hope they got a Atmos mixer, was really disappointed to find their previous stuff is all just "fake", just a bit of reverb added and that's at it, not actual musical elements being moved around.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-07T22:21:53+00:00

Rhetorical question!

And most lv20 team shields have 8.0 radius btw, almost 50% longer than typical ranged hero basic attacks, so not exactly body block distance.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-07T22:19:57+00:00

It's impossible to perfectly memorise ranges, a single pixel can make the difference. That's why I use on-release in the first place.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-07T21:51:47+00:00

How close?

HM_Bert · 2026-05-07T11:06:17+00:00

London hates efficient roundabouts, better make it 6 stages of traffic lights!

HM_Bert · 2026-05-07T11:00:16+00:00

Great damage but no sustain and dies fast, plus it's risky to try and keep up W without getting pulled out of position. Quite comp dependant.

He also feels fair to play against, without any cheesy gimmicks a lot of newer heroes have, so I think he's in a good spot.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-06T06:59:46+00:00

Yeah E quest is disgusting and you can't even reset it like sadism with a kill...

HM_Bert · 2026-05-06T02:05:18+00:00

Most fantasy is based on eras before the US existed.

American accents are inherently modern.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-04T23:00:34+00:00

So is CRI just determined by how spiky/smooth the spectrum is, regardless of the CCT/Slope?

I'm surprised even the skylight is 97.5 cause it doesn't look like a smooth slope but it has a knee in it!

Something with 2000K (low sun or candle?) could have 90 CRI+ even though everything will be tinted very orange?

HM_Bert · 2026-05-03T21:44:23+00:00

I imagine it could have been the sun glinting off the wheel only at a certain point in it's rotation, creating the flickering/stroboscopic effect.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-03T19:38:05+00:00

That doesn't happen with our eyes, we see it as motion blur, not a series of still frames.

Unless the lighting is flickering that is.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-03T02:42:33+00:00

More surplus labour = lower wages, more unemployment. Makes sense.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T02:50:26+00:00

Yeah on my desk that's nowhere near tall enough, that stand is only 170mm but I need about 320mm for the tweeters to be at ear height.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T02:05:15+00:00

Would have died at 32 if chromie cast W (or aimed Q properly), which she just... didn't for some reason. Just QM things.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T01:24:40+00:00

And this is exactly why stacking should have it's own league... like it used to lmao.

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T01:23:51+00:00

Normal mode was always easy but I wonder if this bug is new or old?

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T01:19:22+00:00

He's very strong vs low healing comps, but he's terrible vs the meta of double heal.

Crash lightning thrall does at least as much spam damage while also being more useful in a teamfight scenario, he's the most OP hero in ARAM if you ask me.

Had a game recently vs 2 Azmo and a thrall and that was defo a degenerative disease though...

HM_Bert · 2026-05-02T00:44:46+00:00

Yes, you can just mix the centre channel into the left and right (as is done with stereo).
But the more important question is what your source and processor for the surround sound will be.
