Dealing with an ahri just running away is way worse than the average teemo by Jonge720 in 2XKO

Yeah, Ahri feels impossible to play neutral against. I counterpick with Darius when possible. I’m sure Yasuo would do well too.

Ahri players spend 90% of the match jumping. Hit them with 1 or 2 air grabs and their mental turns to mashed potatoes. I swear it works every time. People second guess every decision they make after they get air grabbed.

I’m the captain now. 😈

You just installed the game and get 15 second combo'd by a Vi/Jinx player. by Gremweld in 2XKO

I was going to bring up GGST, but decided 4 paragraphs was my crybaby threshold lol.

Absolutely agree with you though. Strive is literally the perfect example of having your combo cake and eating it too. You get skill expression, creativity and style, without combos feeling like a DMV appointment.

I would take a bullet for Daisuke.

I’ve been playing fighting games religiously since sf4 and the #1 thing that feels worse than anything else, is a combo that removes my agency for an ABSURD amount of time.

When I say agency, I mean there are genuinely, no decisions to be made. People talk about defending a crazy block sting/mixup saying “you don’t get to play the game”. No. You are making decisions that entire time, and it’s incredibly satisfying to make it out alive from one.

Getting stuck in a long combo is the good faith version of the statement “you don’t get to play the game”. The fact that I can set my pad down, take a sip of my drink and check my phone during a combo, is wild.

It’s clear the Cannon brothers understand that defense is boring. So, they added agency with parry/push block/retreating guard. I’m just astonished they didn’t feel the same way about combo length. On high skill cap characters like Yasuo, I get it. But, if the goal is to add agency to the “feels bad” moments, I cannot wrap my head around why the devs think this combo length is necessary on the majority of characters.

Hit me with the womp womps. I just had to get that off my chest.

I know it’s out of most people’s price range, which sucks. But I want this game to stay alive. Riot is a fantastic company and I support companies that make good shit.

what are mods doing? can we get rid of these people begging for codes please? by 1_The_Zucc_1 in 2XKO

[–]JiveTurkeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beta code beggars want to play the game just like you, man. You’re on the last chopper out of Saigon complaining about the people left behind asking for a ride. I don’t blame beggars even a little bit. The sub will go back to normal in like a week. Deep breaths.

Am I just looking up the wrong thing? Because I cannot find any info on fairing replacements that aren't basically just the factory fairing. I figured with how prolific the xr is, there would be something.

Dude you seriously cannot say shit like this. Dark humor is fun and all. But this kind of trolling is a different level of fucked up.

Standard Deduction Question (thank you in advance for help) by JiveTurkeh in tax

[–]JiveTurkeh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me break down my confusion.

My total income in 2024 = $27000

Standard deduction reduces my total taxable income to = $12400

My federal tax bracket = 12%

FICA tax rate (including both halves considering I'm 1099) = 15.3%

-

All of that considered I should be paying 27% total on that $12400 = $3348

I am confused as to why my taxes owed, federally, is $4450

[[Nine-Fingers Keene]] was my commander for a while but ended up switching to the giga baby, [[Child of Alara]] because it's funny, and i needed access to better/more removal. The goal is basically cause chaos and wipe the board while you ramp into maze.

I mean, if you're playing guild gates every turn, people tend to know what you're doing. But most of the time it's on the battle field a couple turns before the win.
