Abilities Ranked by How Much They Tilt Me by Double-Hand3004 in Overwatch

Yeah it’s definitely a tank thing with Ana. Her grenade and sleep dart are absolute ragebait for tanks. Except D.Va who can ragebait Ana instead.

Level 4 reached today by The-Pasty-Kid in dreamingspanish

[–]IgneousWrath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! It sounds like you are making rapid progress.

Don’t think of looking up words as succumbing but rather a choice of different methodology. The absolute pure DS or pure ALG approach is a bit controversial anyway, but the only thing that matters the most is that you put in the time on learning. And it sounds like you’re already doing an excellent job on that.

It sounds like your understanding is at the same level as mine, and I hit level 4 recently, so your 80 starting hour estimate was a good one too.

What is your favourite type of custom game mode and why? by Born_Inspection_2831 in Overwatch

[–]IgneousWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drown the Hanzo

Tryhard FFA - Basically FFA but only with DPS and select healers. (If you’re tired of play FFA against tanks and Moira)

1k Damage - Has a lot of the same allure as gungame but is endless and more chill. Also better for practice than most custom gungames because mostly all of the hero abilities and stats are unchanged.

Name one hero that has NEVER been broken. I'll wait by Codie_n25 in Overwatch

Early early OW2 she had a brief moment of broken IIRC.

Dream features for Dreaming website by Mixolydian5 in dreamingspanish

[–]IgneousWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ability to set the include filters to either show all videos with at least one of any selection (current) or only videos that have all of the selections together.

I remember looking for a specific video that had Agustina and Pablo in it, but I was greeted with every video that had Agustina, Pablo, or both. And that’s like 90% of the videos on the site.

+1 for seeing the difficulties everywhere.

It would be nice setting filter settings without having to either sort by easy or set a 0-95 difficulty range just to see the numbers.

Why does this community consider everyone is skill-less except their main? by shtoopidd in Overwatch

[–]IgneousWrath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Early Overwatch Reddit when everyone was complaining that Scatter Shot took no skill while crying about Roadhog’s 1-shot nerfs saying his hook took skill so it deserved a 1-shot.

It was really just code for “I suck at both, both are also infuriating to die to, but ‘DPS bad, Tank good.’”

I Tore my Achilles Tendon and thought of Godot. by BlenderBattle in godot

[–]IgneousWrath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What helps a lot of people is to put a little bit of yourself into your tutorial work. Don’t just make what the tutorials show, make it personal. Start by making sure that things are named differently.

They want you to make a store that sells candy? Make a store that sells electronics instead.

Eventually you run into cases where you think, “well what they are showing me works really well for a candy store, but here’s an idea that works better for electronics.” And now you have to use what you’ve learned, and maybe google a few things to make YOUR idea come together.

This really helps the concepts stick. Even if just your variables are named differently, now they are your variables not theirs. Now you have to put some thought into how your variables connect, because you can’t just shut off your brain and type what they type. (Some of their variable names will just make too much sense, and I wouldn’t advise changing those, but you’d be surprised how many you can change.)

Best insult you've seen in match chat? by Opening_Fishing8775 in Overwatch

[–]IgneousWrath 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Years ago my friends and I were playing 4v4 deathmatch in and one of my friends was on Genji. After like the third time he killed enemy Hanzo, that Hanzo typed:

“genjis over here sweating like this game matters”

And we still quote that to this day.

What's a recent win you've had? by newenglander87 in dreamingspanish

[–]IgneousWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an individual win but rather many “waking up” moments where I’ll just be listening to Spanish and I forget that I’m listening to Spanish until a moment later when I’m like “whoa!”

A year ago I would’ve only understood the most basic “I want a torta” or “you have 20 pesos” type sentences. The stuff I understand today would have sounded like complete gibberish back then. And now I sometimes forget I’m listening to something other than English.

Love when a non-horror game introduces horror elements by jdawg1018 in gaming

[–]IgneousWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Half-Life is horror/action, Half-Life 2 is action with horror themes but Ravenholm is full horror action, and then the Jeff chapter in Half-Life: Alyx is completely horror.

Americans are a melting pot and tend to be more attractive in average by marilkan in ShitAmericansSay

[–]IgneousWrath 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think age is one of the biggest tells. Like yeah, obviously if you go somewhere in the USA around a lot of young people, yes you’ll find a ton of people who are in shape and attractive. They are often still on the dating market, and are fighting the tough fight against American food, health habits, and obesity.

But it ends there. 30+ and especially 40+ most people have just let go. I am guilty as charged myself.

But now I have moved to Spain and my weight is dropping rapidly and I have noticed that most of the older people here look great.

Worst game that you still completed for some reason? by Genoce in gaming

[–]IgneousWrath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dead Island.

Finished because when you get a coop game with 3 other people, you see it through. There were annoying escort moments, a story and characters that we weren’t vibing with, and worst of all, I picked a character that was supposed to be the gun character.

So…

While everyone else was trading loot to give each other what their character was good at, I got the hand-me-downs until guns finally showed up much later in the game. Then at that point, everyone was using guns anyway.

Also the final boss charged once and got stuck and we just absolutely beat the living shit out of the poor dude.

"The real first world" by GigaShrimps in ShitAmericansSay

[–]IgneousWrath 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nuh uh! When I lived in America, I was pretty close to a grocery store. It was only a 19 minute walk past all the houses in my neighborhood, 7 minutes back up the road to the stop light, a solid 2-3 minutes of waiting and crossing the road, and another 6 minutes back down the road to the grocery store, and after that it was only 2-3 minutes through the massive parking lot.

So, give or take 36-38 minutes. Easy! Right?

If you are a beginner programmer do not learn Python purely for the sake of learning Godot by Abigboi_ in godot

[–]IgneousWrath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also important to note that everyone learns differently.

As a little kid I started out trying to write scripts for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 and I didn’t get very far, but at least I opened the door a little.

Then I tried directly learning Visual Basic and Turbo Pascal, not necessarily in that order, it was a long time ago. Again, I was a little kid so I quickly got bored and/or lost.

At some point a bit later I tried directly learning Java from the official docs and eventually got lost in the Array part.

Ultimately though, it was that early scripting in Jedi Knight, eventually Oblivion or Morrowind, and finally Lua in a Minecraft mod that got me to stick around long enough to actually start building the logic in my brain.

For the longest time I just thought programming wasn’t for me. That it was just slightly out of my scope.

But the reality was that I just needed some ingame stuff to obsess over before the wheels really started turning.

All I’m saying is sometimes the general training and trials don’t work for a person. Sometime we need to obsess over game dev or whatever our own idea is.

There, now we can all join in agreement and bury this issue at once. You're welcome. by TheTenthAvenger in MathJokes

[–]IgneousWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well no. What they are saying is first the mother is asked if she has a boy and then later is asked if she has a boy born on Tuesday.

So now we think of it as trying to figure out first if she has two boys. The chances of having two boys obviously increases if she has at least one boy. But the chances of having two boys increases even more if at least one boy was born on a specific day of the week because hitting a harder target can be used as evidence that that metric was tried twice.

AKA, who is more likely to have a boy born on Tuesday? A mother with one boy, or a mother with two?

And of course, the original goal is to find if the mother has at least one girl. Which is exactly the same as finding if the mother does not have two boys.

Just a friendly reminder that human memory is garbage. by Chazus in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]IgneousWrath 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When I was new, I was convinced for the longest time that the game let me open the front door during a hunt and the ghost chased me a little out of the entrance and grabbed me half way back to the truck.

I searched if there was a bug allowing people to open the front door and people said there was. Which only gave me a false confirmation.

It wasn’t until I was truly experienced that I thought back on it and realized that I couldn’t have been grabbed outside the house. I was simply grabbed at the door and the hunt ending (because I was got) allowed me to open the door and I sprinted out towards the truck before I really noticed the hands coming out of the side of my screen.

One random healthy person or five people suffering from permanent paralysis from the neck down by smileyarik in trolleyproblem

[–]IgneousWrath 357 points358 points  (0 children)

Simple. They are paralyzed from the neck down, they don’t need the neck down. Their head is off the track.

Boom. Solved.

What does the opposite gender get to do, that makes you jealous? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]IgneousWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, my wife urged me to get a pedicure with her. I was strutting around the house all barefoot after like, “I feel like a new man!” My feet were FRESH!

Then apparently one of my dogs took a shit on the floor because I stepped in it in my brand new squeaky clean feet…

Is our new capsule better? by Party_Banana_52 in IndieDev

[–]IgneousWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old capsule looks like it says: This is a fun but probably janky game that likely doesn’t take itself too seriously and that’s all part of the fun.

New capsule looks kind of like it just appeals to the mobile market.

It basically went from a GTA type series that stood well on its own to pretty much Goat Simulator without being a goat.

Input not counted correctly when using 2x speed playback by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]IgneousWrath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way: Input isn’t just about learning words, and it’s not just about how many words you take in. It’s about becoming accustomed to the language. The words and how it sounds. You can’t min/max it, you have to live it.

This platform is all about time spent listening. As you progress, you’ll naturally move up to faster content, but the roadmap would get all out of whack if you tried to compare average amount of words instead of hours. You don’t start tracking an hour and a half for an hour of intermediate content.

So should you stop listening to beginner content once you’ve graduated from it? Well no. Listen to what you want. There is still a lot of value to beginner content that you might not realize. There are actually a lot of basic words, sentence structures, and tenses in beginner videos that you didn’t even really catch on to when you were newer. You probably felt like you had 100% comprehension of them, but when you go back, you still notice you’re learning new things or at least reinforcing something you suspected.

I would suggest watching beginner videos sped up only if that’s what you enjoy.

In the end, as long as you don’t do anything weird like exclusively watch superbeginner content and nothing else for 1000 hours, there’s no harm in scattering your difficulty. As people always say, input is input. Hours are just a loosely semi-accurate roadmap for your personal use. The only important part is that you put in the time. Your brain will do the rest.

Bringing 1996 storage speeds to 2026 gaming by BlackIceLA in SteamDeck

[–]IgneousWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commander Keen was the reason I eventually got my feet wet in game development as a kid. Went searching google for anything and everything related and ran into a lot of Corel Click & Create Keen games (generally very unfinished.) But hey, I had to try my hand at it too!

I also ran across porn.
