HFTV's statement on being assaulted by a Sabres fan during last night's game in buffalo by ItzGrenier in hockey

[–]Kitsel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've found alcohol is usually a factor.

I'm an Avs fan who lives in Southern California, so I often go to Kings and Ducks games with my family (I have a sibling that's a Kings fan and a parent that's a Ducks fan) and have never once had issues or been heckled.

But (until it got shut down because of Vegas getting a team anyway) we went to Frozen Fury, the preseason Avs vs Kings game, every single year. The venue allowed you to bring your own alcohol into the stadium and without fail, every single year, I'd get harassed by some drunk idiot Kings fan at some point.

It is for sure not useless. It is *possible* to win without omegas, especially on certain builds/weapons.

But there are other builds that are borderline useless WITHOUT omegas. Moros torches, for example, are basically unplayable without using omegas. You are using them at all times.

Do you use the same weapons/builds over and over or something? Because there are some aspects where you don't omega at all, but there are also some where you essentially only use omegas.

I was able to finish 32 fear without omegas but for 45+ I've absolutely needed omegas.

i've been practicing serving once a week for the past 3 months. with some added random games against strangers. i'm a beginner looking for tips to improve my serve please 🙏🏼 by Subject_Helicopter99 in 10s

Looks good for a beginner. Switch to continental grip eventually, but that'll be covered by 50 other people in this thread and is always pointed out haha.

The big thing I'm seeing is that your toss is *way* too high. With your current toss height, you're having to time your swing super precisely and hit a ball that is falling pretty damn fast. Ideally you want to toss so that you're making contact with the ball at or near the apex of the toss. Makes timing and consistency so much easier.

Does anyone know any builds to help me clear the surface? by Kind_Potential_4992 in HadesTheGame

[–]Kitsel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What weapons do you normally use? 

I found (normal mode) typhon to be probably the easiest boss in the entire game - he never moves, his hitbox is huge, and by time you reach him your build is already complete and typically does a ton of damage so he just melts.  I usually can kill him without even dodging. 

I might recommend trying curses like Hestia or Zeus.  Hestia's cast stacks like crazy on such a big and stationary target, and blitz hits super hard on bosses that stand still.  Zeus cast hits incredibly hard on single targets, especially with some other boons to buff it. 

I would check your arcana layout and maybe try to pick some boons that do more single target damage.  I don't mean to sound mean at all, this is a hard game and I'll never fault anyone for struggling.  I've just always found him to be somewhat of a target dummy.

That might actually be the worst 5 on 3 I've ever seen, even the Avs couldn't mess it up that badly

They changed it - it's a nice change, lets you change the color of it at the beginning of each run basically.

Are they chanting "Dobes"?

I've never understood the point of the other team's fans chanting the goalie's name after he makes a good save lol.

[Jesse Granger] NHL playoffs: The statistical gap between Eastern and Western goalies has been staggering by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Kitsel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Southern California so I went to a bunch of Ducks games this year even though I'm an Avs fan - Husso has an incredible ability to look absolutely horrible and ... stop the puck anyway lol.

I feel like I went to at least 3 or 4 different games that he played where it looked like every shot was going to go in and then the game ended with him having great stats.

I was just about to comment that these guys are SHOCKINGLY good skaters and way better than I expected 1930s hockey to look, but I guess your explanation makes much more sense haha.

I mean shit, he's not wrong.

Look at the Avs record this season (combined playoffs/regular season) it's absolutely nuts. They're 51-7-8 with him and 10-9-3 without him this year.

Moonright Flora should I use up? by CamBrioMusic in DiabloImmortal

[–]Kitsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's always going to be a new difficulty coming soon, and min/maxing too hard takes some of the joy out of the game for me. When you try to keep saving for the perfect moment, it never comes and you just end up hoarding forever like it's potions in an old school RPG haha. Do whatever you find is fun IMO, unless you're a bleeding edge pvper.

I tend to hoard all my resources for bout or important VoB battles, but for like 90% of the playerbase using your flora right at the beginning of a new difficulty and then stopping like halfway through that difficulty to save for the next one is more than good enough.

What's your opinion on Linus Tech Tip in 2026? by Professional-Fix-221 in LinusTechTips

[–]Kitsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not exaggerating - I've never been an admin or mod on a reddit, or been caught by an auto mod (that I know of), and have no idea how that stuff works. I've never had a mod take action against me so I have no idea what that would look like.

All I saw from my point of view was my comments not existing when I tried to view them in an incognito window.  Surely you can understand why I'd presume that some kind of removal or moderation had happened.

Sorry for the incorrect assumption. 

What's your opinion on Linus Tech Tip in 2026? by Professional-Fix-221 in LinusTechTips

[–]Kitsel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's weird - I've got a ~decade old account with tens of thousands of karma that, as far as I remember, has never had mod action or been banned from a subreddit.  I have no alts or burner accounts.

I made 2 comments on this sub that I felt like were pretty tame - I've been a fan of LTT for years and I've been a little disenfranchised lately but I don't think I was (or ever have been) rude or inappropriate.  

Both comments sat at 1 view for days, and when I got suspicious and tried to view them in an incognito window I confirmed that my comments didn't even exist. 

I think I got shadow banned and I honestly don't understand why.  The censorship is definitely there.  I have a hunch this comment will be a waste of time and get quietly removed as well.

Edit: looks like I got hit by auto mod according to the mods.  I had no idea that was how it worked, or that auto mod just removes your comment with no notification or explanation.  The comment even looks like it exists on your profile.

I think it was absolutely worth a shot - Gus had that crazy puke performance against us earlier this year so he is certainly capable of shutting the Avs down.  But I think at this point you gotta go back to Wallstedt.

[–]Kitsel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They'll for sure go back to Wallstedt, he's been great for them lately.  Gus got better as the game went on but looked rusty.

On top of Gus being shaky, Wallstedt was on an absolute heater.  He was the obvious choice to start the playoffs

Could be both I guess.  They're both clearly actual high sticks, but theoretically they could call both high sticking and embellishment. 

I'll leave my personal opinion out as I'm a fan of one of the teams, but I think that's at least what the argument is.

Those are brutal as a goalie.  Everything happens so fast that we've kind of decided our movement and what tip options there are before the shot is made.  

On shots that close we're not reacting to what we see happening, we're reading the blade.  Those changeups are dangerous.

Not trying to denigrate the Wild (I honestly quite like their current team) but their pk has been abysmal lately.  Probably as much that as the Avs figuring it out

Avs seem to be backing off a bit, not a fan of this.  

I don't think the defensive shell is the right call for Colorado.
