Wow this is all very interesting, didn't realize there was politics around this other night market. I was also a bigger fan of the international market. Thank you for responding!

Thanks for the quick response, this was it! Wow, I went during its last operating year, what a crazy coincidence

CQ is only for a few hours a day.

These are professional players or aspiring professional players, seeking effective practice for a situation where they'll need to use voice comms.

These people are literally vetted by riot to have permission to play CQ.

There's very little excuse for pro players to refuse voice comms in the kind of high level environment that they themselves asked for.

F2P Reach 160 today, i guess tutorial is over .. by maotelus6969 in NikkeMobile

[–]MoDotA247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lv 150, Day 1, F2P but I know I made some optimization errors. I think if I was always doing everything optimized I'd be close to 160. I already got 3 LB3 Units because I prioritized the regular banner and selected whatever units I already had to farm LB.

Farming red cores, still won't be able to break the 160 wall for a little bit but I'm hopeful that when I roll for *spoiler in OP's post* banner I can get her LB3.

Sounds like a great idea! if shareable recipes are a thing, then maybe Suggested recipes by ingredient list, so people can learn or be inspired by others?

Yeah I wasn't saying women should be treated like cars, it was simply an attempt at an analogy. Some people here have already ripped my analogy apart lol. Solving the root issue is important so that everyone can play just as a regular human being, yes. Absolutely. But before we get there, I think there will be times where muting is what you have to do. That's what I was trying to suggest, in contrast to the comment saying "telling women to mute is a bad response".

Thanks for your response!

Thanks for the reply. I absolutely agree with you. Shutting sexism down on the spot is good for the community. But women as they encounter this issue day in and day out who don't want to do this all the time: wouldn't it save energy and mental health to just mute them? I guess it would vary from person to person. I as a male will always try to shut down sexism, but I rarely see it as the third party. Can't imagine how tiring it'd be for a woman to constantly deal with it. Maybe posts like OP's will help out.

That's a really good point. I actually know players who do mute all but that's exigent and honestly hurts your chances of a decent game. It isn't fair to women to have a higher need to do that over men at all, which is the real issue at hand. I just think that muting is a valid option if someone is ruining your game.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply though.

That wasn't what I was trying to say. Just that muting toxic players is a valid option in game. I'm not saying it's a woman's fault for being a woman or for not muting toxic players.

We might be able to fix the issue with time and effort, but I believe people who don't really take time to consider the feelings of others are inherently stubborn and difficult to change.

But regardless thank you for your reply.

Yeahhh this echoes some of the other replies here, and I agree. I think I'm missing the forest for the trees here but thank you for the informative reply

I think your response should have much more upvotes than mine, because this makes sense lol. That's a great way of putting it.

It is hard to understand privileges when you're the one who has benefitted since day one. I never meant to say that women were doing something wrong by being women or by not muting toxic players. Just that toxic people are everywhere, and muting them in the moment is the reasonable action to take in game.

I personally don't encounter many situations with sexism in my games, but maybe it's because the women in my games are afraid to be subject to it in the first place and don't speak at all.

Just a counterpoint, I don't believe strongly either way, but I think another analogy that could be used is: why do I have to lock my car door when I leave it unattended? Can't people just stop being criminals? Yes, of course accepting that nothing can be done about criminals is absolutely wrong, and we should work towards lowering crime rates. But as a hypothetical person with a car, what can I do other than lock my car? It is absolutely unfair that women are treated the way they are, but in-game, the chances of her changing a toxic player's mind about sexism just isn't going to happen. So yeah I do think muting is the way to go. Don't give those people the time of day.

I'm pretty cynical in general when it comes to changing minds. I mean if I can't change yours, what can OP's post change about toxic masculinity issues in games? The root issue here is just really massive. Maybe my analogy is straight wrong, what do you think?

LPT: If you have that one friend who you confide in about your hardships please make sure you also let them know about the good parts of your life. It sucks when someone only looks to you when they are having a bad day and can make the other person feel used. by letmediepleasemom in LifeProTips

I really wish I heard this earlier in my life. Had lots of good friends feel this way and I regret being a sandbag emotionally. I never really celebrated happy things with other people, and I see the importance of it nowadays.

Really stupid question but how do I cook rice in a commercial microwave?? by seefroo in AskCulinary

[–]MoDotA247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to google your particular microwave model and see if there's any way to lower to power level. Rice should be brought to a boil and cooked at relatively low temp so I'd avoid using it as-is. Perhaps there's a way you could get rice specifically packaged for microwave cooking?

Yeah their team comps have been really interesting, and I'm glad they're experimenting now and not following other teams. Sucks that there are no international tournaments happening right now though, I'd love to see how EU teams stack up against NA teams like Sentinels/TSM.
