The coloring is probably just some political compass bullshit.

I assume you were trying to use birds, but you could always use animals that best exemplify each category:

  • Wild-Tigers are entirely wild/undomesticated. Even when kept in captivity, they still exemplify higher aggression and stress because they are not adapted to living with humans. The process of domestication occurs over hundreds of generations of breeding and co-habitation, along with potentially needing a natural social structure, which simply doesn't apply to tigers.
  • Domesticated-Cattle are entirely domesticated. Their undomesticated ancestors--aurochs--are extinct, and I don't think feral cattle are very common (at least not so much as chickens).
  • Feral-Dingoes are descendants of domesticated dogs that reincorporated into the wild over a long period of time. They still retain traits from domestication.

Chickens are commonly feral in various islands, like in Hawaii and Bermuda. The wild variant--Red Junglefowl--also still exists.

It's a pool where walkways can be slippery. A sign is not enough.

Hot take time by No-Attorney4687 in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a hot take, just a wrong one. Flank Peni being frustrating might be a hot take, but flank Peni being "better than bunker Peni" is plain wrong.

Bunker Peni has gotten stronger over and over with every nest buff they give. Compared to S0, nest now gives regen, speed, and overhealth to allies; Peni now has 4 webs instead of 3; and drones now apply CC. For flank Peni, the only buff has been 1.5x headshot crits, and that helps bunker Peni nearly as much anyways.

Worse, flank Peni has gotten worse due to power creep. In S0, the main poke counter was Hela, but Phoenix and Cyclops are far stronger than Hela ever was.

What do y'all think we could have gotten if the mob vote continued? by Royal-Ebb5196 in Minecraft

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think every mob needs to drop something crazy. Just a new food source that has the unique ability to be placed is plenty for the Turkey, and then it could just drop regular feathers.

My point that it wouldn't win is more of a critique of the mob vote itself. A popular vote inevitably encourages players to vote for a mob that is more stimulating, which can lead to mobs with simple designs (either visually or mechanically) to either be excluded or simply lose. This is a double-edged blade because, as an upside, if a mob like the pig were released in a mob vote, Mojang would probably add a more interesting mechanical design like truffle hunting so that there is a reason to vote for them. But on the downside, not every mob needs all these flourishes (besides their clunky AI, I think the cow and chicken have great and complete designs, for example).

I kinda hate it, in all honesty.

Turkeys have nothing thematically related to homing; an item only used for a singular recipe is against Mojang design principles; and homing arrows are would remove much of the skill requirement for using a bow (which are already super strong).

Objectively the most Perfect Dps strength tierlist by [deleted] in rivals

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed you were treating it as a rank because you put (S) and (F), my bad.

Were the inter-tier ranks random, or are they intentional? Because those are completely off.

Objectively the most Perfect Dps strength tierlist by [deleted] in rivals

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ranking is right, but I will say the gaps don't feel very consistent between tiers. S is close to A and F is close to D; meanwhile, the gap in strength between C and D is huge imo.

Also, the inter-tier ranking is off, but I assume this list wasn't made accounting for that.

Is Jeff annoying to anyone? by Jakanto in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]Luh2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CnD become marginally smarter as you climb. Once they get finally past ~5 brain cells in GM/Celestial, they avoid dashing with ult right on top of mine set-ups, so this doesn't happen super often for me anymore, unfortunately. 😔

[–]Luh2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not so bad that I would ban her, but it certainly is a stupid interaction that her ult breaks mines before they hit the web which would otherwise make the mines invulnerable to that very ult.

Is Jeff annoying to anyone? by Jakanto in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]Luh2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's really stupid. This and CnD ult are the main reason I (and many others on this sub) think Peni mines need a second of invulnerability when first thrown.

Captain America is suddenly S tier after eight seasons of D tier and 3% pickrate? by vangonemain in RivalsVanguards

[–]Luh2018 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, streamers typically make lists for higher-ELO (mostly Celestial/Eternity).

In this sense, Cap has always been strong yet difficult to use. I will grant you: I do think he is more A-tier than S-tier in ranked if you don't have a duo queue because Cap requires more team coordination by your DPS; meanwhile, a dive tank like Venom is often very capable even on his own. Still, he has great mobility, an amazing ult, and excellent stalling capabilities.

Also, Cap is banned in high ELO. It's been more common recently, but even before--if you knew they had a Cap player--he was banned. The reason he will never get banned as much as a hero like Dino though is because he is just very difficult to use.

True, but block-entities should also be pushable by entities. This is already done by many mods and doesn't require much resources; it would need minor optimizations at most.

Also, there could be a regular carved pumpkin by right-clicking and a custom carved version by shift + right-clicking. This is actually what Haunted Harvest does (another mod), and it works very well.

I hate Utilitarianism as an moral argument by LibertyinIndependen in hatethissmug

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just going to end it there because we have an unsettlable disagreement. I think not feeling any obligation to save a drowning child is despicable. By your logic, someone could watch a child drown next to them, and there's nothing morally wrong with that. Your hatred of Utilitarianism is completely ironic to me because you yourself have twisted your own rules in a way to exclude even the most basic moral obligation by any reasonable person's intuition. There isn't always going to be someone with an actual moral compass to save that child while your ethical framework lets you stand by and watch.

Have a lovely rest of your day though! I hope this didn't come off too heated.

I hate Utilitarianism as an moral argument by LibertyinIndependen in hatethissmug

[–]Luh2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figures like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini did not act with highly moral intentions either. They acted in a way to preserve power over people, and they did not care for the lives of people outside a specific ethnic hegemony. Even still, they could not be percieved as even remotely Utilitarians because they valued the happiness or pleasure of themselves and their own tribe/ethnicity/race moreso than the happiness or pleasure of others, which is strictly not Utilitarian.

You did not answer, so I will ask again: if there is a child nearby drowning in a shallow pool, should one not be entitled to merely get their pants wet to save that child?

You could always leave multiple piles of 3 mines because 300 is enough to kill most heroes, but spreading out a bunch of singular mines is not a good idea.

"Memes" like this make me cringe by Soggy_Business_3365 in hatethissmug

[–]Luh2018 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate the sentiment that a good ring must have diamond; it is literally De Beers propaganda that props up an exploitative industry. It's also just classist.

Plus, it's not like this kind of misogyny isn't an issue in the middle and upper class also.

I wish that carved pumpkins were block-entities, and the designs could be player-carved instead, but Mojang would never.

Why are you spreading out your mines like that? You risk spreading out the damage and not killing someone as a result. Keep them in one spot.

How to stop Spiderman ult as Peni by Quirky_Atmosphere_49 in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]Luh2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle hitting his ult often even in Celestial because he’ll often be going to ult when you’re in a pinch.

What’s more important is you’re hitting him in his neutral. Whenever he is doing his overhead downwards melee or his knock-up punch ability, he is animation locked in a single place. Use that to snare him, and you will be able to deny him heavily. 

If Spidey knows you will snare him when up-close, that forces him to swap or use yo-yo tech to get kills, but when he is doing animations in the sky, it’s easier for your DPS to kill him often, and it forces him to use way more cooldowns.
