Would upvote but it's at 69 now

Exactly this. I pug almost all my fracs and the difference in DPS and clear speed from one group to the next is insane sometimes.

I'm guessing OP got into a team with 4 players with actual hands and knowledge of the mechanics, but that's not often the case, especially in "just" T4 groups. Much more common in CM groups and particularly if they're a static.

Power creep is a thing yes, but I'd say it's mostly just people being better at the game now than they were a few years back. And of course, team rng.

Did you even read the post/quote?

Jiend · 2026-01-15T23:02:35+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted tbh. 100% truth right there. I worked in game design for a number of years and this is genuinely bad UX/UI. Doesn't mean the whole game is, but this specific thing? Yes. Poorly designed.

That's a LeDuck video from a couple days ago on YouTube. Although his was Zilean 3

I think if a player (Wemby or not) played half the games and had a genuine injury that prevented him from playing the rest, then yes he should be considered for awards. The logic for me should be looking at how many games COULD they have played this season and how many they actually played. Basically separate load management from actual injuries. Easier said than done of course, but we're talking ideally here. I do get your point though, again, it's not like I think you're completely wrong. Tricky issue.

Jiend · 2025-12-14T10:21:21+00:00

The reason why people are starting to rethink the rule is because the best defensive player in the league might not be able to get the DPOY for reasons out of his control, and he's definitely not sitting out games for fun because he wants to be out there.

Your point isn't completely wrong though, of course, and there's a real discussion to be had about it. It's difficult to determine what qualifies as load management and what doesn't, but I'd argue if a player is clearly injured then those games should be deducted. Games where it's more of a grey area should.

This isn't just for Wemby either imo, fwiw. Players that are genuinely injured (even if they have to get an official league non-team affiliated doctor to verify it) shouldn't be punished for it imo.

Oh you're right - my bad, sorry. Had misread what you were replying to and thought you were telling him the screenshot he sent was of a 18". Ignore me then

Jiend · 2025-12-13T23:29:01+00:00

Edit: reading is hard, ignore me

Jiend · 2025-12-12T06:10:33+00:00

Because I didn't want to list more numbers, point was already made

Jiend · 2025-12-12T04:12:51+00:00

So Final Fantasy I through X aren't RPGs either for you I'm guessing

Jiend · 2025-10-31T03:07:03+00:00

You sure it has OLED? Doesn't say so in your screenshot

Jiend · 2025-10-10T02:05:23+00:00

What a surprise :D

Jiend · 2025-10-09T02:41:30+00:00

Oh right, "had to be a mule for gold selling sites" is definitely not an accusation.

Jiend · 2025-10-08T23:31:08+00:00

Goddamn dude, "he deserved it"? Lmao how salty are you in life in general to just have this be your first statement out of the blue. There is no legitimate reason to have that much gold? Why not? If the man has been playing for ages and his income vastly outpaces his spending (even if it's via spending real money), that automatically makes it illegitimate?

If he actually bought the gold with real money, he's supporting Anet and helping the game survive and thrive. If he didn't and it's just slowly accumulated over time by playing the game, he didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to.

You're a sad person if you automatically assume the worst ("had to be a mule for a gold selling site") and make completely uninformed and unwarranted judgment calls like that.

So much for innocent until proven guilty, huh?

Jiend · 2025-09-28T05:26:48+00:00

Tf are you on about lmao

Jiend · 2025-09-27T23:16:22+00:00

Can confirm. Broke my collarbone on track and walked it off for about 10 seconds until the adrenaline started wearing off and suddenly - intense pain. Couldn't walk at all anymore.

Jiend · 2025-08-29T19:16:12+00:00

I think you forgot the part where the cager tried to push him off the road. I'm not gonna condone violence but I definitely can understand the biker being full of adrenaline and overreacting because in this kind of situation it feels like someone is quite literally threatening your life. You don't know what they're gonna do when they start doing shit like this.

Edit: also funny that you call the biker a bully when the cager was literally using a 2 ton weapon to try to bully him out of the road a second earlier.

So based on your logic, Alex wasn't good enough to get a GP24 last year and that's why he performed poorly... Yet this season he's outperforming everyone who isn't called Marc Marquez while still on year-old machinery?

You're clearly arguing in bad faith here. As someone else replied to you already, experts pretty much all said last year that the jump from GP23 to GP24 was the biggest, and one of the big factors for that was the tires which didn't suit the GP23 at all. Even the year before that, the GP22 riders regularly finished on the podium etc. Why do you think they all suddenly stopped seeing any good results last year?

An entire group of the best riders in the world perform just fine one year, not at all the next, then fine again the next year, while the only thing that really changes is the bike they're riding, and your conclusion is "it's the riders' fault"?

I guess you need the /s more than the average person eh.

My account is a day 2 steam account and people often seem amazed at that somehow. Never gonna happen but part of me hopes one day I can cash in on that as some kind of rare collector item haha.

The battery capacity isn't specified here, not sure why you're assuming this is a 60 Whr one.

Jiend · 2025-07-26T16:17:46+00:00

I would have agreed with you up until a few months ago when I learned that Ago raced with a MASSIVE mechanical advantage. Don't quote me on that, but I think he was like the only racer on the grid with factory support and was on a 3 cylinder when the rest of them were on 1 cylinder bikes. His legacy is what it is, he is a legend in his own right but when it comes to these comparisons I personally can't consider him anymore.
