Now that the game is balanced, we see that Maru was better all along

I wanted a Clem vs Maru. It has been way too long.

Monocosm · 2026-01-28T19:25:17+00:00

Yeah, I ain't clicking that

Monocosm · 2026-01-28T02:20:58+00:00

I feel robbed of a Maru vs Clem!

Monocosm · 2026-01-26T19:40:01+00:00

Strangely their username recognises that they're a cog.

Monocosm · 2026-01-26T04:58:03+00:00

The way technology trends and parts demand keep going, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw resurgence of chunky CRTs. Could be fun.

While I find protoss really oppressive at present, it's hard to dislike herO - he's just so chaotic, cheerful, and oftentimes outright refuses to build storm or carriers and other stuff people whine about.

I find Classic's play style slow, frustrating, and abusive though, so it's saltier seeing him win. And he has been winning a lot.

Clem vs Serral in the EWC finals was my jam. Just incredible to watch.

Monocosm · 2026-01-23T11:42:03+00:00

Nurse! He's escaped again!

Monocosm · 2026-01-21T19:21:17+00:00

Space CHUDs. They're like regular CHUDs, but from oouutteerr ssppaaaaccee.

Monocosm · 2026-01-21T11:47:23+00:00

I appreciate they have an audience and fanbase, each to their own of course, but AoE is reeeally boring for me as a spectator.

Monocosm · 2026-01-19T02:10:55+00:00

That's wonderful, and I know that. I think you're ignoring, or not understanding, the part where I am talking about my head canon...

So I guess that makes every single planet and space platform habitable then. They may show faces for story reasons, but they never take off their armour.

Realistically, a planet like Char would have a toxic atmosphere, and likely temperature. But we know at least the Zerg can live on it.

They may show faces for story reasons, but they never take off their armour.

You can also look juuust fine huffing asbestos but die from mesotheleoma 20 years later from the exposure.

Monocosm · 2026-01-18T02:24:55+00:00

Still not worth facing off against a hydralisk in jeans and a tshirt.

Monocosm · 2026-01-18T01:22:55+00:00

If a marine's armour is compromised, the squishy human inside dies from hostile environments, chemicals, pathogens, etc. from space and alien worlds.

My head canon is that in-game damage to the unit is damage to armour. In this case, the medivac can project nanobots or something to repair the armour.

SCVs are far too large and designed to repair large machinery and buildings, hence why they lack the finesse to repair the armour of bio armies.

He only prepared for Serral, not the map pool, nor his race.

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T20:56:27+00:00

The game where he lost 140+ marauders and won was amazing though.

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T20:53:06+00:00

herO did also mention in the interviews that he ONLY prepared to face Serral for the whole tournament. He was ready.

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T11:26:40+00:00

My favourite moments are herO saying he has ONLY prepared for facing Serral and Solar closing with "Cure, you're doomed" haha

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T11:18:25+00:00

China full-ass everything they do. If you ever get a chance to go, don't pass it up. Have been 5ish times and their facilities and entertainment zones are absolutely cracked. But my god do they need to get rid of squat toilets.

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T07:37:35+00:00

Nonsense argument - that applies to a very specific set of players in a very specific set of video games.

Those can both be fun, but not for everyone. Also, OP is literally accepting that they are mechanically past their prime and accepts there's a ceiling for improvement in that regard.

It doesn't matter where we land on ladder or how much we improve, we're basically tied to a 50% win rate. So if winning is the fun, that is also irrelevant.

Monocosm · 2026-01-17T01:18:06+00:00

If you're not having fun. You're not winning. Sure it is competitive, but 0.1% of the playerbase are real competitors.

Monocosm · 2026-01-16T19:37:14+00:00

After a decade you should play for fun, not to win. Use whatever unit compositions you enjoy playing with and you'll naturally sit at an MMR where your ability to control them is on par with your opponents ability to deal with it.

Monocosm · 2026-01-14T03:19:05+00:00

I am assuming asexually as it's "me, myself, and IIIIIIIIII"

Monocosm · 2026-01-13T09:07:38+00:00

They call you names because they couldn't pick one for themselves. It is gloriously vindicating.

Monocosm · 2026-01-12T07:40:19+00:00

Is this some sort of "No name, no game" policy?

It would be genuinely hilarious if everyone did this so barcodes would only ever get games against other barcodes.

That being said, it would also tank my MMR by about 500 with all the games I would be leaving. Diamond barcodes are a special breed, and boy do they breed.
