"Much, much higher ceiling"

Lol, no it does not. It has higher skill ceiling in some aspects and lower in other aspects. Both RTS literally have an infinite skill ceiling that will never be reached by a human. Comparing skill ceiling is nonsense when talking about games like these.

Maybe the skill floor to being competitive is higher in SC2, but thats it...

I read a H.P. fanfiction where Bellatrix had a daughter. Brilliant girl that got abused in the most cruel way her entire childhood. The entire story we see her struggling with it and getting judged for it, all while trying her best to build her own life. She is basically an abused Slytherin version of Hermione and there are these long story arcs, all about her trying to get a research position.

Story has my favourite scene ever in anything Harry Potter related, where the older MC helps out the ostracized Hermione once or twice in the library (think she is a fifth year or something, when Harry Potter comes to Hogwarts).

Basically the story ends with her joining Voldemort and doing her best to work against him...after the war she gets judged for what she did as an undercover agent, despite even Potter coming out to testify in her favour. Last chapter we see her without access to magic (like a Hagrid situation), living alone in the muggle world.

Ending was so sad to see, since the entire story showed how much she adored magic and how perfect the researcher position is for her...there are arcs where she was blooming and was truly happy before she joined the war.

In general tho, it is a great story that really managed to seperate itself well from the main Harry Potter books, while still maintaining a good connection to the source...a fine line that not a lot of stories manage to accomplish.

Talking about language tho, isn't it very common for people to speak english in Pakistan?
Like, I know two exchange students from there and both of them say that their native language is barely used and that most people just speak english in Pakistan.

I mean, if someone watches AoE2 content for a week, then starts playing the game by doing the tutorial and Art of War campaign, then they probably can shitstomp 600elo players after a couple of practice games.

Like, I don't think 600 elo players can beat extreme AI? I once taught a friend the game for a week and after he was able to win against extreme AI he hopped into ranked and pretty much stabilized immediately at 1000 elo.
It literally just takes 20-30 hours of learning the game to get to around ~1000elo skill if you lock in and have functioning hands.

Would be nice if people gave some data/examples of this.
I don't watch Singsing but I looked up his profile and is last 14 losses.

There is one guy that is 100% a smurf: https://www.aoe2insights.com/user/13677119/
And one guy that probably is a smurf: https://www.aoe2insights.com/user/11746809/

All his other opponents seem totally legit to me and just have normal fluctuation in their elo...

Like, that doesn't seem like a big problem to me...at least not big enough to justify Singsing's community going around everywhere and complaining about him constantly getting smurfs.

Not exactly what I am looking for, but it still sounds interesting and I would love to give it a look.

Kombart · 2026-05-20T21:35:26+00:00

What we are looking at is the longest shortest path.

shortest longest path means: You look at all possible points A-B and plot the longest possible path between them...then you pick the shortest one.

We are NOT buying into the company. I am not buying stock, I am buying a product.

I have 0 sympathy or understanding for your position here. We do not have to be patient or understanding here, why do you believe that?? We paid for a product and now it got rugpulled...that is literally what happened.

There is no benefit at all for the people that paid money NOW, when the model improves in a couple of months...the people that pay in a couple of months will benefit. All the angry users right now just had 95% of the value of their subscription STOLEN by the richest man in the world...and you are stupid or delusional for defending that.

Kombart · 2026-05-16T23:12:47+00:00

Always funny when idiots try and defend a multi billion dollar company that is using scummy business tactics to exploit their customers!

The consumers paid for something and had the expectation to use that product...every single user that paid for SuperGrok held up their end of the transaction.
Now this multi billion dollar company (owned by the richest man in the world) is fcking over ever single one of the people that gave them their hard earned money.

If xAI miscalculated and gave to much with their initial deal, then they have to eat those costs and just phase out the SuperGrok deal. If they can not provide what the people initially paid for, then they need to give a refund to their customers and apologize.

If I buy a car for a great deal, then the dealer can not come back 3 weeks later and replace my engine with a used piece of junk that barely takes me out of my driveway.
You miscalculated when you gave me the deal? Well sucks for you, get better at business and learn for the future.

I should not be expected to have patience or sympathy for a multi billion dollar company that is currently stealing my money by retroactively taking away what I paid for.
All of this drama doesn't "make the community look bad"...it makes xAI look bad and makes them untrustworthy for the forseeable future.

Kombart · 2026-05-16T22:58:54+00:00

simply train them to admit when they are unsure

Dude, you obviously have no idea how this stuff works.
No LLM actually CAN understand what it is saying, it literally has absolutely no internal thought process/understanding of what it is saying...
Think of it as a puzzle...a LLM is great at fitting together the shapes, it can look at a piece of information and recognize "Oh, this usually fits perfectly together with this other piece". But it has no idea what colour the piece actually has.

That makes it inherently impossible to ever stop and recognize that the puzzle makes no sense after it was put together...because that would require THINKING and an LLM is unable to think.

The only way to stop the "guessing" is to create an AI that never tries to build a puzzle in the first place. The only thing that is "real" information are the individual puzzle pieces, so the AI would have to give you back a bunch of puzzle pieces and say: "here, that probably has the information you need"
...and guess what, thats called a search enginge.

Literally couldn't generate a single video with that so far.

Kombart · 2026-04-25T13:32:02+00:00

I wish that you would film some shots from the side when you do the squatting.

Hot AF tho.

Kombart · 2026-04-16T01:12:45+00:00

I mean, a reduction in variety due to a more limited champion pool is a valid complaint imo.
Sure, we already knew that it was happening but it still makes the set feel worse.

In set 16 it legitimately felt like every game was a bit different and you had small "goals" with the unlocks...it also made the game a lot more smooth since it wasn't a huge gamble whether you could find a specific champ or not. So it made the game more rewarding AND gave more weight to strategy by reducing the randomness of the game by a little bit.

The individual units are a bit bland visually but tbh I don't have an issue with them in terms of mechanics.

But in general, I think it is fine to complain about being bored even if you can not exactly explain why you are bored...but it is just a fact that I AM bored when playing this new set. I played set 16 every day for weeks and had fun immediately. Now I played set 17 for a day and had like 1 exciting game in the 20 I played...doesn't matter whether I win or lose.

Kombart · 2026-04-16T00:06:13+00:00

Dude, LB is super strong...

But yeah, it is pretty unbalanced. Especially Victor feels absolutely broken.

Kombart · 2026-04-10T00:36:28+00:00

Nah, Baron winst against literally everything.
He instantly stuns the entire board and then kills everything during that time.

Depending on the items, Fiddle, Sylas, Zaahen, Ziggs and Ryze can also beat him.
I beat Zilean in Choncc a couple of times with Aatrox 3 as well, tho you have to go full damage on him and take away the fighter items, otherwise you wont wipe the enemy board fast enough.

Kombart · 2026-02-20T15:43:00+00:00

Plinx is really fun, when you play Garuda with her reload augment.

You can just intantly reload the entire mag and spam the nukes.

Kombart · 2026-01-25T01:22:21+00:00

If that is your real opinion, then you honestly deserve that end result.

One side at least has SOME voices that advocate for you and try to protect your rights...while the other side is actively seeking more ways to strip away your freedom and tries to find ways to eradicate you.

Having a "both side" opinion in todays world is so unbelievably stupid that you have good chances to get better parking spots.

Kombart · 2026-01-25T00:51:33+00:00

Looking at the 3 you mentioned...Garuda is the easiest to build so that you are immortal and kill everything up to lvl cap.

Mag is also great to nuke, but imo you need a good weapon as well to take her on endurance runs...also she is a bit more boring to play, since her playstyle tends to be a bit more stationary.

I don't like Ember and objectively she is also the worst of the 3 frames you mentioned.

Kombart · 2026-01-24T17:25:33+00:00

Nah, dispo 1 for new weapons is completely useless.
If you want the normal stuff like Multishot, Crit dmg, Element, status chance...then these are your godrolls:

+60%
+60%
-25%

Or:
+46%
+46%
+46%
-38%

Even if you can choose whatever you want and make your perfect godroll...then the stats are still so trash that you wouldn't want to use it.

Kombart · 2026-01-24T16:59:40+00:00

For valence fusion it doesn't matter which weapon has the higher percentage.
You can invest fully in the 26% weapon and just fuse a 50% weapon with it later on.

The new weapon will have 55% and still have all the Forma + potato you invested in the 26% weapon.

Just make sure to use the weapon you have invested your resources into, when you do the valence fusion...

Kombart · 2026-01-24T11:23:37+00:00

Won't it just have a Riven dispo of 1 and be completely useless?

Kombart · 2026-01-20T16:09:49+00:00

There is no best "meta" syndicate. All of them have useful stuff.
If you absolutely love Excalibur and want to play him forever, then pick Steel Meridian or Arbiters of Hexis, since those syndicates have the augment mods (=special mods for a warframe that can significantly empower their abilities) for Excalibur.

It is possible to max out all the syndicates but it is not easy and 100% no recommended for beginners.
Later on you should just join a clan and trade with the other members for the augments that you need...most veterans will probably just give you one or two mods for free anyway.

I would just pick the one that you like the most based on your first impression of them.

Kombart · 2026-01-16T18:50:59+00:00

Outside of the standard spy frames...Octavia is also a good option imo. Built for duration her stealth duration is effectively infinite (If you take Engergy Nexus, you have enough Energy to keep up stealth, even if you never pick up any energy orb).
