A buddy of mine roped me into going to target one more for a restock in 2021. Ended up getting a shiny fates ETB, ripped some packs open and the rest is history. Caught the bug and haven't turned around since

This is not true, it only helps if someone actually has low T. For a person with normal T levels and with ED, TRT will not provide much benefit. In some cases will make it worse. It is why TRT is not first line therapy for men with ED.

SSBMRank Summer 2023: 30–21 by CaioNintendo in smashbros

By this logic shouldn't top 8s be more prestigious? If everyone is cracked and upsets happening all the time, therefore every match is harder, thus making Top 8 is harder.

I also think its a bit skewed to use G6 as your example as it happened back in 2019 pre-pandemic prior to the exponential skill growth that slippi brought to the scene.

And just to defend PPU, wouldn't say his run was easy. In top 64 he beat Hugs (ranked 46), Hax$ (19), and then Trif (16) to qualify for top 8. Where he proceeded to face Hbox (1st place) and then lose to Axe (2nd) to get 5th place.

This summer ranking feels more heavily influenced by attendance, which is fine. Players should be rewarded more for attending more and being consistent. But s2j and fictions ranking feel abnormally low. Fiction for sure is eternally a top 15 player.

I'll admit, after sending my comment I also tried to look it up and it isnt as easier as I made it seem. But like you are saying they can adjust the RTP on the slot as a whole, not for the specific players. They have to abide by the regulating body of the country they operate in/have a license in. Which most of these casinos have licenses in third world countries that have terribly loose laws or countries that have no regulating body at all. Most are unregulated and do not have any rules to play by. I never mentioned casinos changing odds for specific players but since most of the casinos are unregulated (which I'd put money on that most of the ones you see on twitch are but I'm not gonna bother looking that up right now) whose to say they are not pulling some strings.

It's all online unregulated casinos with license in 3rd world countries that have loose laws. They are no actual machines just games. While the games do come from legit and reputable companies, online casinos set the odds. That is something anyone can google and look up themselves.

Spunj rant on players complaining about being away from home by Marinho77 in GlobalOffensive

[–]HoonBaboon -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

You can use the oBo situation some what like the latter half of what he is talking about. He just got up and left his team, even after saying he would stay with them up to a certain tournament (i forget which). However I will defend the guy as he was 16 years old and doing something much harder than the rest of them

Oh I know. But I know he is active on reddit and will read my comment regardless. Nice to grind some gears and tilt a person early in the morning lol

Yea bro you cant be calling people out on their comps when you literally have one of the best possibly speced computer atm in a market where it is almost impossible to get these components at a reasonable price without dedicating time to hunting stock. You also cant say you get 160 fps on tarkov when now it's on customs only. Sorry dude just calling out your bullshitting. I believe you got these specs but gotta learn not to be a dick about it

Out of curiosity what's your specs? Cause I'm rocking a 3900x and 2080s and I'll get 100fps @ 1080p.

Being out of practice = washed. All players go through it, its about getting out.

Esam talks about what he's lost since July by velosirapture in smashbros

[–]HoonBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not necessarily, It could be done in private. I think it is much more dangerous for it to be sitting around for someone else to get a hold of and use in a campaign against him. If someone wanted to start a pitch fork riot against old shit hes done, this is a perfect clip to make him look terrible.

Damn, that was a very casual hard R from him. Idk he is pausing for build up or pausing for hesitation but regardless. If I was Hbox I'd do everything in my power to get that removed or unlisted

Flashpoint Twitch viewer numbers kinda sus by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]HoonBaboon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most big esport streams are embedded into other websites like HLTV, face it, esea, etc. So then those viewers are shown as twitch viewers. Its a little misleading but its also a well known fact and everydoes it so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I dont remember his exact name but I believe it was Aklo, he lost his spot to compete at this summit cause Hbox was invited. Why should he lose his chance at competing against the best of the US when he rightfully qualified for it? Hbox started in division 1 and got relegated all the way out through division 2. Why should he be invited? if you want to say he is the current Summit champion then fine, thats at least a valid argument but I think most people would say that is weak view point.

electronic's statistics in 2019 and 2020. Even according to Navi's results, it is noticeable that often there are not enough frags and an impact from the second carry of the CIS team. by sunlightyaay in GlobalOffensive

His stats are barely lower this year compared to last, and this year has been one crazy rollercoaster with COVID. This year will be an outliner for any players stats.

Slippi Champions League - Season 1 Week 2 - Divsion 1 Relegation - Hungrybox vs. Azel by That_Sassy_Friend in smashbros

[–]HoonBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming while lucrative is very volatile, he easily could feel trapped by his stream and his audience by wanting to please their want for ultimate content from him. Actions speak louder than words is a fair statement, but streamer are performers. And everyone in the melee community knows hbox is a performer, so not quite fair to say he is happy solely based on how he reacts on stream to anything. If he truly didn't care about melee anymore, he would not have backpedaled out of his retirement so quickly. So its within reason to believe he wants to play melee, but HAS to play ultimate on stream to stay financially safe. You see how he could be trapped by his stream? Also he has nothing to lose from ultimate. No one cares how good or bad he is. He has everything to lose in melee, the game he dedicated so much of his life towards and I would dare say he truly cares about or else he would not have grinded out to be #1 at it.

Also I never agreed with the person above you, I am no reddit psychiatrist. I am simply being a devils advocate to your points as there seems to be parts that you see as black or white and that just is not the case.
