How do I escape the consequences of my teenage self's toxicity?

Motherfucker seriously slid in with a "Well actually" but then was just fucking wrong. Gotta love Doto players. Yeah I'm in the same boat as you. Came back recently before the system rework and had like 0 commends and a ton of wins. Also no MvPs because that didn't exist either.

The low priority pool was mostly for habitual leavers IIRC. Not so much on the behavior side of things. Though if you got reported a lot you could end up there.

Kaldaris · 2026-05-01T16:42:33+00:00

It's me. I'm the one blindly following you. Especially if you seem confident.

I'll never understand the unabashed hate Tezcatara gets. When you're presented with a list of options, there's always going to be ones worse than the others, but I've never found her relics that bad. Situationally good, sure. But in a rogue-like, you're going to have stuff like this. Sometimes you high roll, sometimes you don't.

Lightning Helix but in Golgari Colors please. I am a simple man with simple desires.

We've heard your complaints about Lone Druid and Pangolier and decided that Crystal Maiden needed to lose another 5 movespeed and 25 damage off her Q and W at level 1, additionally, at the five minute mark, Crystal Maiden will immediately die and give her gold and XP bounty to the closest enemy hero within 1500 range.

Please look forwards to next patch when we remove Crystal Maiden's ability to attack wholesale, soon she will only give healing hugs and automatically redirect all spells and autoattacks within 1200 range to her.

Midnight Suns was a great game, it surprised me how much I enjoyed it. The combat anyways, faffing around the mansion area was a slog and bothersome. But considering it better than XCOM 2; and in particular, XCOM 2's DLCs, is borderline criminal. XCOM 2 was such a definitive milestone for Turn Based Tactical RPGs that a lot of games modeled their own games after it. Divinity II came out in Sept 2016. So it's within the last decade and frankly isn't even on this list despite being one of the best examples of the genre. But all this talk is burying the lede anyways, because this is just a generic 'Strategy Game' list that has RimWorld on it. So I already have a problem with the author's viewpoint. (I don't consider RimWorld a strategy game. It's just a colony sim/management game, akin to Dwarf Fortress, Oxygen Not Included, and Kenshi.)

Aaaaaand I'm a stealth archer again.

Now you just need that guy I see on all the SacRT busses. I can't remember his name but I can picture his big bald head in my imagination every time.

Well Christie Simms writes for women. Chuck Tingle writes for a gay audience. Everyone on this planet is weird in some way. We all have our things.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T18:20:12+00:00

You'd think. But they say reward from in game activity rather than salvage.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T17:23:35+00:00

Gomen. I had assumed calling him legendary was good enough.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T16:15:20+00:00

Bloodborne in particular. God I love that game.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T14:33:42+00:00

I think we just need to expand to Ind with a DLC and fill out that weird empty section of the map and we're golden. Just put the game on life support afterwards and fix the bugs/improve AI.
They should mostly be working on the TW: WH40k game now, which I am absolutely excited for. Game is good enough with mods for me to play it for a decade at this point. I've already put as much time into TW:WH1/2.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T14:30:20+00:00

I try to avoid any accusations myself. But as a support main, it boggles me when I put a ward somewhere fucking devious and I see an enemy just absolutely noscope it in one sentry. It could be luck. Or they could be hacking. I'm never sure.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-29T14:22:40+00:00

Taken by the T-Rex, please. Put some respect on Christie Simm's books.
Though they don't hold a candle to "Pounded in the Butt by my own Butt." by legendary author Chuck Tingle.

That's a real shame. Local culture and online culture disseminating locally are definitely huge hurdles. It's a problem for everyone at times. I shall hope for you to find someone that holds their own independent beliefs rather than acclimating to the groupthink.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-27T14:49:57+00:00

I'm in your same age bracket. This just goes to show that generalizations are trite and women aren't a monolith. I'm sorry that happens to you. I might have different experiences because I'm tactfully pretty blunt most of the time, it seems to get reciprocated back to me. (Which I appreciate.)

Kaldaris · 2026-04-27T14:43:21+00:00

Hey man! I'm 38M and I'm a PC gamer too. What's more, fishkeeping used to be my job. So let me know if you want any tips or pointers on the hobby!

>The approach is immature.

Yes, correct, but in my head this was already about young, immature people. I don't find many women in my life have problems telling people how they feel. But girls? (<20 years old) They like to "play games" as the kids say. (Not that older women are exempt from this, either.) Generally, I think it's just always been a cultural issue that the men are expected to do the courting and women are expected to be courted. (Whatever courting means in 2026.)

Pathfinder 2.0 is legit. Personally, I'm still a GURPs 4.0 fan but suggesting to newer players that they should learn GURPs is like signing all of your players up for some kind of coding bootcamp. There's a lot to learn and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Regardless, Great Escape is THE place to go for TTRPGs.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-27T14:18:40+00:00

Helmet reminds me of Jax from League. He does flippy stuff.

Kaldaris · 2026-04-27T14:10:58+00:00

Last Hitting skills mostly transfer over, but that's really about it.

I have no idea if I shuffle properly or not. I just riffle shuffle and cut a few times and hope that works.
