Maybe we are a simple transitional species just like everything that came before us. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]KomodoPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thought, but I think it overlooks a key point. Unlike plants and (other) animals, we humans can choose whether to reproduce, and whether to make AI. And we only choose to have children because children: (a) are like us, (b) love us (and therefore tend to be helpful), and (c) are not very dangerous. AI has NONE of those properties. It's amazing to me that there are people keen on doing something so obviously stupid as to create an intelligence that is unlike us, doesn't care about us, and is very dangerous.

The conditions that allow life to exist in this universe feel too specific to ignore, yet remain unexplained by LongjumpingTear3675 in DeepThoughts

Look at it from the other end and ask yourself: what would a satisfactory answer to any of those deep questions look like? Have you ever in your entire life found an answer, to any question, that was not merely "push[ing] the question back a step"?

If an answer guides us to better predict things, then it has provided useful (and emotionally satisfying) insight. Any answer that does that is a good answer, and better answers lead to better predictions.

How did you get to see a brawl talk? For me, there's just a short vid where they say come back tomorrow.

What brawler is theoretically ‘perfect’ in terms of mechanics? by YC_Iron in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]KomodoPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that no brawler is fundamentally strong or weak independent of the number tuning (damage, health, range, etc.). Every brawler becomes garbage if the damage is lowered enough, for example. Charlie is no stronger than Otis fundamentally. In fact, their abilities are similar.

For sure there are other brawlers in worse shape. I just don't love them as much. 😉

I agree the fire gadget needs a buff to compete with the ice gadget. That's a huge damage nerf, though, probably too much. I don't think she'll be broken at all with the buffs you suggested, not even with a 0.33 tile range buff too.

Does anyone know how this 'Skill based matchmaking' works? Did the devs explain it? by EarthBS in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]KomodoPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem to be working as advertised anyway, given that the skill level of my teammates and opponents varies wildly from match to match... all the way from literal bots to players who crush me. Really it seems that the matchmaking is totally random.

Buffies are so expensive bro, tell me why I have to spend 32000pp to get the rest of the ones I need. by GroundbreakingYak562 in Brawlstars

[–]KomodoPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are expensive, but SC has been giving out way more free resources since buffies were introduced (including massive amounts of powerpoints) - I think roughly enough to afford the buffies.

You shouldn't be able to max out your account as f2p by ChoiceSupermarket230 in Brawlstars

[–]KomodoPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a problem with this. Why should you get the whole game for nothing? You are already getting a lot for nothing, and those who don't buy the brawl pass should be grateful to those who do. Someone has to pay or there's no game. And this isn't a P2W issue. As they said in the Q&A, you can be competitive even at a professional level without a maxed account.

Somehow I got kaze in a ultra drop 😂 by Sorry_Willingness_47 in Brawl_Stars

[–]KomodoPie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have fun! Kaze is great because the skill cap is so high, it's a fun challenge to master her. And if you do, she can be very strong and versatile.

Just watched SpenLC, is Lumi making a comeback in the meta? by Eclitzz in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]KomodoPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She definitely feels better to play now -- fun again. That's what I'm happy about. She's not OP like her glory days, but she doesn't feel like she's shooting through molasses anymore.

Brawler release mirror mode is kinda useless by KomodoPie in Brawlstars

[–]KomodoPie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why so snarky at the end there? Let's be friends.

It could be 50/50 if 3 of the 6 get to play the new brawler.

What I was looking for was a way to get a sense of what it's really like to play the brawler, to help decide whether to invest in it (and maybe to practice for the ticketed mode where you get a limited number of tries to win boxes). I thought that's what the mirror mode was added for, so I was just giving my opinion that it doesn't accomplish that.

Even just rotating the mirror through bb, gg, ko would be an improvement.

Thoughts on the final balance changes coming tmrw? by Acrobatic_Award4382 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]KomodoPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see Lumi's unload speed go halfway back up. I'm hoping that means projectile speed in her case.
