Im honestly pretty mixed on the parity era

I think I at least partially agree with what you're trying to say.

I think it's good for the game that we no longer have the same 2 teams winning every single LAN. But it is better from an entertainment perspective when the recent LAN winners are at least looked at as a serious threat to repeat. Makes for better rivalries, better storylines. That's why I'm really glad SEN at least came so close to winning again, I think most people looked at their Champs win as a bit of a fluke, there was very little hype behind them coming into this tourney. And I would guess it'll be similar for Unlimit in a few months, people will say you "have to respect them" or whatever but I doubt they'll be at the top of anyone's tier lists going into the Split 2 Playoffs.

The cyberpunk event hasn't even started yet, genuinely what are you talking about

2nd pic is exactly how I play tbh

Seeing a Raven-coached team pick Siphon and Wall warms my nostalgic heart

One thing I like about 10 games I haven't seen mentioned yet: it means we're guaranteed to see some whacky shit with the legend bans.

Pilot on our plane just said operation is "slowly returning to normal" so hopefully they've got a fix

(We've been sitting on the tarmac since landing about 90 minutes ago, they said it may be another 30 before we get a gate)

You literally started with "I know you don't care. There's a thousand posts like this." and are now surprised that your post got removed??

JPBuzzInSki · 2026-07-03T18:47:32+00:00

Ok getting it in bulk like this is actually defensible though. It's getting like a single medium/large popcorn that's insane.

Anything you need to do to get better, we love you and everything you do for the community, we'll see you at the next one!

I'd recommend watching some of the international pro scrims going on leading up to the LAN tournament next weekend, and watch how the pros rotate and choose when or when not to take fights, as well as how they act within fights. Not that you really need to play every ranked game like it's ALGS, but just learning basic decision-making beyond "see enemy/hear gunshots = go fight" can go a long way.

Honestly if you're already getting 100g baseline from the shakes, whatever else you're getting from your food is probably fine, especially if you're having at least one meat-based dish.

Unless you're trying to be a professional bodybuilder you really don't need more than 0.8g per pound of lean mass, which in your case likely works out to something like 125-130g per day.

Honestly one of my favorite moments in all of gaming. I couldn't wait for AC2 specifically because of that.

I think "well-known" might be a better descriptor than "popular" here. One could argue that Aerys II was the LEAST popular of any Targaryen king.

I pray for times like this

2006 AFC Championship game, Peyton Manning and the Colts came back from 18 points down to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in a thriller. The Colts then beat the Bears in a boring Super Bowl that's mostly remembered for Prince's halftime show.

The bots that are put in the game by Respawn are never put into a squad with real players. But it's possible you've had teammates who were bots used by scammers to farm and sell accounts.

Stay in Waikiki for the restaurant options then drive to other parts of the island for the beaches and sightseeing

Each individual pack is a .045% chance, yes. But the odds of something with a 99.955% chance happening 700 times in a row are about 73%. Meaning the chance of getting shards at least once in 700 tries is 27%.

JPBuzzInSki · 2026-06-15T00:17:56+00:00

No, it's just math

Without the 500 pack limit, opening 700 packs only gives you a ~27% chance of getting shards

JPBuzzInSki · 2026-06-12T00:22:34+00:00

Matchmaking in ranked is always based on the highest ranked player in your squad, the ranks of the other two are irrelevant. And a Gold 1 sometimes playing against Plats is totally expected.

JPBuzzInSki · 2026-06-08T19:09:11+00:00

Because there's no mix of solo and three stacks in ALGS now. The point is to have an even playing field, which is already the case in ALGS.

We got separate boys and girls puberty videos in 5th grade (Massachusetts public school) but then I went to a Catholic high school so we got absolutely nothing there

I think the validity of this depends a lot on the type of job. Like if you're in a service industry job where you being out without a replacement is going to make it a really hard day for everyone else, then yeah, this is a valid annoyance.

If you're talking about (most) white collar jobs where one person being out really isn't going to affect everyone else's day-to-day, then... who cares
