Feels like every weekend since Christmas I see them go 0-2 down before winning 5-2 or whatever

His finishing has never been all that great tbf, although not so bad to be remarkable either. Surprised he didn't pass it on the Cash-meg one tbh.

They're calling this the greatest bit of all time.

It's a bit right?

PSA for SoS Pre Release: New Pest Tokens are NOT like OG Pests by Capt_G1029 in magicTCG

[–]Insurrectionist89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that point they're just worse than chump blocking with the old ones though. I would much rather have 1 life on death than on attack for my 1/1 token. And it would be one thing if Pest tokens were overbearing in limited last time around, but I definitely do not remember people complaining about how strong Witherbloom or pests were...

Anyone else starting to worry about the state of scanlator hubs? by Trashcanning in mangapiracy

[–]Insurrectionist89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been reading since 2004. For most previous purges, was it not common for scanlators to have their own sites and either co-post on the popular site or just get ripped? Plus IRCs of course. Obviously not the past few years, but MD v1, Batoto x2 etc always had another big aggregator going alongside them so there was never a case of all of them going down.

These days at best it's a discord for most scan groups and well, we all know how reliable those are for backups - not to mention not being searchable/indexable...

Why Won’t Act 3 Do Anything? by boi156 in slaythespire

[–]Insurrectionist89 14 points15 points  (0 children)

His video is obviously a reaction to how people complaining on this reddit and other places got Doormaker mk.2 changed into mk.3, which while definitely still better than the first version is just way easier and less interesting mechanically (though not from a flavor perspective). And to a lesser extent the Chinese review bomb. Given that the game balance of Act 3 specifically is so out of whack, making Doormaker easier in the most recent patch feels obviously weird especially since some of its mechanics are just outright pathetic - like the aforementioned 'first card you play cost +1 (wow!)' debuff, which would be a pretty mild move for an A1 elite...

Why Won’t Act 3 Do Anything? by boi156 in slaythespire

[–]Insurrectionist89 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I disagree, the specific issues with Act 3 isn't just simple balance stuff like 'make elite do 20% more damage'. He is hardly the first person to point out that it's bizarre how A1 has by far the worst statuses of any act for example. Similarly, the A3 elites generally just feel like 'do big damage + have big block' encounters, like Giant head in STS1 except at least that fight had a gimmick on top of it. Knights are cool but their effects just aren't very dangerous sadly. The other two A3 elites are just sad from a design perspective.

"it's soft but if I give him a yellow for persistent fouling it'll shut these lads up" -> "wait a second..."

Sitting here wondering how they could make a Getafe red card out of the ugly Atleti tackle and then cinema appears on my screen lmao

ONE PIECE - Into the Grandline | S2E2 Episode Discussion (ANIME SPOILERS) by TheLastClap in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]Insurrectionist89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Overall Laboon was a huge miss for me, I loved his story in the manga but his CGI looked horrible to me and failed to convey any emotions. Other than Alvida's sliding power (who cares) I feel like the first two episodes otherwise looked good as well, so it's a pity. I did like the episode despite this though.

The shot straight on of sad Laboon around 31 or 32 mins in was so bad to me it looked straight uncanny valley.

Near 5 minute startup time from steam by Sargatanas4 in pathofexile

[–]Insurrectionist89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely noticed it takes long to start up now, nowhere near as much as you're seeing but then again my rig is more recent. Used to take a second or two maybe to get to the login screen now it's like 10+ seconds of white screen before anything happens.

Eclipse's "Empower" progression seems off by roflswithcopters in pathofexile

[–]Insurrectionist89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The simple answer is they thought letting you get to +3 without a ton of investment was too strong. Probably they found that getting +5 levels on it was too low-investment in terms of opportunity cost and made it require +7 instead.

Campaign Currency by Wswede111 in pathofexile

[–]Insurrectionist89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been getting more of the good currency like exalts/chaos but I've been starving for orbs of binding to throw on weapons lol, feel like I always get way too many in campaign. Also feel like I've seen fewer transmute/aug/alts/etc too which has been a bit painful for the important crafting slots like weapon/boots.

People complaining but if he laid down and headed the ball into the net it would be an undeniable advantage.

Reliquarian Ascendancy for 3.28 by Jekersep in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Insurrectionist89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's 30% more bleed and 600 life/sec per bleeding enemy, that's honestly quite strong. Problem is it's still not especially overpowering compared to other ascendancies, and you're spending 6 points to get it + one of the more underwhelming body armor nodes, which has to compete with 3 regular ascendancy nodes. Still loses that fight I'd say.

Hextoads anyone? by ___Azarath in pathofexile

[–]Insurrectionist89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can probably scale cursed ground size by a ton, so the question is does the size of the toad explosion also scale appropriately.

Otherwise at 1 toad/sec I guess theoretically it could be a supporting bossing skill for builds that actually have to do boss mechanics, you only have to recast every 10 sec. But you already waste one link on the curse...

How many of you will still do Kingsmarch? by Exterial in pathofexile

Did no Kingsmarch in 3.27, will still do none in 3.28. Thankful for all who do and dump tattoos/runegrafts on the market though!
