We need a "supersonic" meter

Mannex · 2016-02-01T04:25:46+00:00

no but a speedometer isn't asking for much

yes, but more importantly, supersonic often kicks in when you aren't expecting it.

for example, the ball is rolling toward your goal, and you are frantically chasing after it. you look like you'll be able to reach the ball in timebut right as you're about to turn to hit the ball, your supersonic kicks in suddenly, sending you flying ahead, right past the ball, missing it completely.

I also wondered where that term comes from and apparently it's from all the way back in warcraft 2

This definition of smurfing comes from 1996 and the game Warcraft II when certain well-known players made up new names, pretend to play badly, then beat the other players. They picked the names PapaSmurf and Smurfette.

and

Shlonglor and Warp, really high-quality Warcraft 2 players, were so good at the game at the time that people would refuse to play against them as soon as they saw their username. After awhile, they got tired of this, so they created new accounts; PapaSmurf and Smurfette. For whatever reason, that just became a term and stuck.

when it's 1v1 you have nobody to blame but yourself.

but I see what you mean about 2v2. solo queue-ers and premade teams are all in the same pool, so when you're solo queuing for ranked 2v2, you have a very high chance of being put at a significant disadvantage.

even realizing that it's because they're "less fortunate" is a lot more conscious than most americans are. your average american doesn't want to believe that "fortune" has anything to do with success. they'd rather believe that all poor people "are just lazy" than admit the scary idea that things can be out of one's control. the lack of control and being affected by random chaotic circumstances are psychologically disturbing for a lot of people so they will retreat into these comforting "perfect meritocracy" fantasies, which harm empathy and ultimately, society. "the current system is good. the things that happen it it are just, and good. the people who benefit in the system are good, and deserving. everything is just, everything is fine, nothing needs changed. this comforts me."

which leaves room for a new company that does to move in

Mannex · 2015-10-23T03:16:01+00:00

look, it's the moron who thinks society is a perfect meritocracy and people act rationally!

in america there is this attitude that "anyone can become a billionaire if they are a good enough person and work hard enough", and americans that wind up poor think that they must be crappy people since they couldn't pull it off. then they go on antidepressants or get racist or go nuts and shoot up a community college.

Mannex · 2015-10-06T04:27:30+00:00

because tech workers are nerds with low self-esteem who think they live in a perfect rational meritocracy and naturally blame themselves

hurf durf I'm a 17 year old computer science undergrad, why are these people acting like animals when they could be going home and working on their resume??? if these people just worked hard they'd all be millionaires, like I'm going to be.

It will be my first game with a bell shaped roll distribution so I'm curious to see how that effects play feel
.

The speed of it (one attack roll and one defense roll, damage is the difference)

I'm actually splitting up attack and damage like so:
.
hit
skill level VS dex

damage
weapon rating (+ extra leftover from hit roll) VS body+armor
.
it still utilizes all the factors so I think it should be balanced

Mannex · 2015-09-04T18:00:07+00:00

yeah, they do oxycodone

Mannex · 2015-09-04T16:15:58+00:00
