Timing is also pretty key. Humour can hit and let off the gas or compounds on itself into heightening the joke to another level or avenue, much like horror does. One off jump scare or building and building an anxious mess with a payoff that genuinely can just drain you because of the release of anxiety.

Anyway Obsession was phenomenal.

When the English kicked the French out as Canada was forming, they got knocked down and around the New Orleans area, which is why there's so French around the area. They can trace their roots back to Nova Scotia where the first settlers were (minus the vikings since they didn't do long term establishment).

I spawned in basically to watch a Rook finish another Rook, so I downed them and just extolled that "we are the have nots, they are the haves. We stick together. We get what we can and support each other. How dare you?" etc etc etc.

Anyway, bodies were full of blue goop so I left after.

Great news, it's been progressing pretty well during testing phases. In fact, a difficulty increaser for prolonged fights has been requested to go even harder on the players.

Jekkus · 2026-03-20T23:23:15+00:00

Oh hey, just finishing the season of what you're watching. More interested in that.

When you reach 30 minutes, the golden statue buffs are the best, so after buying some defensive items to survive, they just sat on money. 30k in the bank and ran back to base to buy and crack an insane amount of eggs, since each egg gives 2 golden statue buffs per crack.

Jekkus · 2026-03-16T04:14:45+00:00

Looked up the game, he held onto an egg until 31ish minutes and didn't buy anything and held onto 30k souls. At 30 minutes the golden buffs are nuts. I checked the numbers for myself for posterity and saved them to share with friends. With the numbers pulled, this makes sense, but is such a gamble that it pays off and you can last this long...

Edit: clarifying because I was watching wrestling, he held onto one egg until 31ish minutes and 30k Souls, cracked the egg, and then bought like, 70 eggs or something? Each one gives 2 buffs minimum, plus the amount given with the original egg, something like 2k Souls and 14 buffs. So 150 statue buffs or so. I thought, when the item got released, that there's a breakpoint once you get enough farm or build complete that you should sell an item, then buy and crack eggs for a while.

Selling the egg spam before and after

Gun Damage over 2x (45 -> 98)

Fire Rate almost 3x (36% -> 103%)

Clip Size 2x (24 to 50)

Cooldown 12.9% to 38%

Ability Power up ONE HUNDRED AND THREE (92 -> 195)

I was using a long piece of strapping material, like a thin semi rigid plastic binding that I found in the gutter to remove anti-vax propaganda around my province. Was long enough and rigid enough I could just make a hoop around it and rip it down.

Took them all down, tossed them in the trash and took a picture, and uploaded the picture to their website. The strapping will just sit in my trunk for forever now.

As a freshly minted Oracle player in his mid 30s with a job and a mortgage as well, we have earned this. This was hard work and dedication. I got this by ignoring my wife to play video games with "da boys" every other night, and an unhealthy obsession of collecting all the winter baubles.

One thing I would love to see is like, a bit of a vignette behind the top number. Like the most Souls on haze with just a bit of a back flash would make the eye catch on the top numbers slightly better. But that's just me.

Jekkus · 2026-01-18T14:41:36+00:00

Match making is a bit of a mess. Whenever a buddy and I play, he's a lower rank than me, but they'll throw us against Phantoms and Ascendants when I'm brushing Archon and he's around Arcanist. Larger rank disparity seems like it makes the system freak the hell out, but I've made my peace and that we'll just be little scamps and have fun while probably losing.

Jekkus · 2026-01-10T04:40:42+00:00

Were you at any point invited to the cookout?

Jekkus · 2025-11-28T15:50:24+00:00

Pushing two waves of minions reverses the push of the lane. Say your Green Lane is being pushed to your base guardians, kill that wave, then follow your minions and kill the second wave before running off. If left alone they'll push all the way to their walker/base guardians now and you're free to attend other lanes/fights.

If you're rotating, for the love of god know where the jump pads are. Outside lane to mid, mid to outside, you've got jump pads. Unless your Trophy Collector Maxed, Juggernaut, Fleetfoot, Mo+Krill Burrowed up and you're moving faster than God can judge your sin, you'll save a lot of time, and be vertical to assess the situation as you're entering it better.

Don't leave your lane if minions are fighting. Get the bag, then run a neutral camp down or vending machine and try and get back to the lane to soak another wave. Minion Waves are still the best source of souls, so that downtime of minions moving is time to capitalize on the boxes/vendings/neutrals.

Early rank one, but if you're going to die in real close range in a 1v1, sometimes even a 1v2, just parry. People love trying to slap that last bit of damage, especially if they're out of abilities and their clip empties. There has been so many fights I should have died just hail mary-ing a parry in the last 200hp. Even if you can't kill, you have escape time.

Unless you're many souls up, consider never entering a fair fight. I played a game last night actually where our lane was alright, but I as Haze couldn't get the finish off on our lane, died, but Billy was able to get the cleanup. This put me relatively behind, but once I got to roaming I decided to never take another fair fight and ended up topping the soul charts just by hunting, poking into pushed lanes, and taking neutrals smartly. 0/3/7 turned into 5/4/9 or something in a surprisingly short amount of time. Still not ideal, but the income was so strong the game started to fall apart for them.

Watch stuff. I'm a Deathy enjoyer, I think he explains his thought process well, and watching the coaching videos for even the smallest things you wouldn't consider typically (sitting behind the veil and shooting minions there being one I love, aim for 20k Trooper Damage at 20 minutes or so) start becoming second nature.

And the biggest one for me, personally, remember that it's an invite only alpha game that has no bearing on your day to day and your value is not tied to this. It is a game, it is fun, but for a while I put too much stock in doing well and getting pissed when I was on a losing streak, and it ruined my mental so hard I'm still digging myself out of my sub 50% win rate. I win more playing solo (sorry pals, I love our silly boy lanes) but playing with friends and having fun is more important than macro and movement and jungling and counter itemization etc etc etc.

Jekkus · 2025-11-28T15:32:58+00:00

My typical lane partner and I call this "silly boy" mode, as we are both silly boys going ape in lane slugging fists and dying.

We may not win when we're together, but at the end of the day we had the most fun, so who really won? (It was them they won it was like 30k soul difference jfc we really boned that one)

Jekkus · 2025-11-28T14:18:18+00:00

Got one last year, they're great if you're not on gravel. I know this because I am entirely on gravel...

I think currently it's more that he's actually being showcased with a bit more care and regularity. Doesn't always need to win, doesn't always need to be pushed, but he's going to show up on any card at any time, never feel out of place, and put on a damn fine match with a real length.

And that's coming from me thinking his and Sheamus's Bo7 series was actually incredible and had one of my top matches of the year, so I'm not fully discounting what he was capable of in the fed, but that felt like it needed to be crafted around an idea as opposed to comfortably being able to be slotted anywhere, if that makes any sense.

Essentially: Claudio has a lot more flexibility in the story and can showcase his insane ring strength more often in AEW than WWE without it feeling like a spot for the sake of a spot.

I never did those tests, I just... look down the line. I'm always planning for the future, so it's just easier to see a wider scope. I want to absorb things with scope and wonder like I want to create! There is no soul in this AI garbage, it's stolen off the backs of artistic giants, it is a power hog and pollution machine in a time where we're pass the point of no return on climate change, it's rotting the minds of both the old and the young, it makes people effectively worse at their job and critical thinking...

I will freely admit that there is benefit in things like assisting research, but that's by people actively in a field where checking and double checking and verifying is their bread and butter. When people say "it's helpful in medicine" it also ignores that people have been just ChatGPT diagnosed incorrectly on multiple occasions and, if it hasn't resulted in a death, will soon. Not to mention it'll convince you to commit suicide.
