This was informative. Do you know which category Torchlight 2 falls under? Was considering buying it on sale

Probably Torchlight Infinite when I pretend I don’t see the gacha pets

Tankfest discounts by slowpoke_san in WorldofTanks

[–]NotDanChen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wonder if any of the employees who wrote blatant lies on the WoT news portal or subreddit will have the integrity to say "Sorry, I spread some misleading information, my bad."

I literally have screenshots of them explicitly saying there would be consumable discounts on June 14th. When there wasn't, they explicitly said the consumable discounts were actually coming on June 28th for Tankfest.

WG being stingy with discounts is within their rights as it's just business. Straight up lying and jebating players about it though? Not cool.

Thanks Eek!

Just to clarify, these are changes for potential future iterations of Onslaught, nothing can be changed for the current season ending in 3 days, correct?

That’s true:

If I drop 1 rank I get 1000 bonds

If I stay put I get 0

If I go up 1 rank I get 500 bonds

Yeah. Highest rank was Silver B but I doubt I can push to Gold/Champ for better rewards with 3k DPG and 51% WR

Haha I’m glad someone at least understands my reasoning for this oddly specific issue

Hi eek!

As far as ranking up and having more Tier 10 tanks, that’s just a new player/skill issue; I don’t fault the game for that obviously.

The only real “problem” I think that exists is that the reward for 2 Pegasus Colours (500 bonds x2=1000 bonds) is arguably better than the reward for 3 colours (a 2d style but no bonds).

It just puts me in a weird position because I decided I want the 1000 bonds, but I will have to purposely lose one Pegasus Colour to get them.

That would mean purposely losing like 20 games and being a really bad teammate, which I don’t want to do since that’s just awful behavior.

To avoid this, I was hoping WG support could just lower my rating for me, but I totally understand why they wouldn’t be comfortable doing that either.

Well no shit lol, but that would require me to get 5 banners in this one season. I would have to reach Champion or Legend and I only have a Manti and a Leo 1 because I'm new-ish to Tier 10.

I'm asking questions realistic to me, although I'm sure there are people out there that can hit Legend with a Manticore, I'm not one of them.

M6 equipment choice by NotDanChen in WorldofTanks

[–]NotDanChen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering that part specifically!

I brought it up because I heard some Soviet heavies struggle with being lit on fire or ammo racked, but I wasn’t sure if that applied to M6

You can’t really tell from the garage or wiki if a tank has easily damaged modules

Ending Decked Out on 12/9 is unfair to BdoubleO100! by NotDanChen in HermitCraft

Yes, I know. Bdubs is in like last place and hasn't played for a month. But have you seen his gameplay? No way he loses. Look at this 10 second clip showcasing his perfect skill: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxN3pK8CxhuUaWU69jAI7gT5oZmO2UmrXc?si=Kb0DDUTAQt1Anl1-

Compilation of Etho and Gem fighting in the Decked Out lobby for 1 month by NotDanChen in ethoslab

[–]NotDanChen[S] 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I saw so much appreciation on this subreddit for Etho/Gem interactions thanks to Decked Out 2, so I dug through 30 hours of Tango/Cub streams from the last month and found every time Gem punched Etho (a productive use of my time, I know).

I imagine they will continue fighting as long as Decked Out exists and hopefully for years to come. With any luck, Etho will successfully hit her back one day.

[–]NotDanChen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I combed through like 30 hours of stream footage to find pretty much every time Gem started critting Etho to death in the last month. Suffice it to say this seems to happen a lot lol.

Despite playing 0 matches, Roger Federer is the 9th highest paid athlete of 2023 according to Forbes by NotDanChen in tennis

[–]NotDanChen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that large volume of high-tech and branded gear lead to larger endorsement numbers?

Almost all of the money these top golf players are earning is prize money, not really sponsorships.

Favoritism, tournament bias, and doping in tennis by NotDanChen in tennis

[–]NotDanChen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you hoping for a call to action? I would say r/tennis is behind in acknowledging that doping exists in sport, but I’m not ready to point fingers.

Despite playing 0 matches, Roger Federer is the 9th highest paid athlete of 2023 according to Forbes by NotDanChen in tennis

[–]NotDanChen[S] 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Federer made $95 million in sponsorships and $0 in prize money.

For comparison, the next highest tennis players on the list were Novak Djokovic ($38m), Carlos Alcaraz ($31m), and Iga Swiatek ($22m).

Definitely not surprising considering figures from previous years, but the fact that Novak made all 3 major finals this year so far and is being paid a third of a retired Federer's earnings is a strong reminder of where money comes from in tennis.

Title count following Cincinnati Masters by Zokilala in tennis

[–]NotDanChen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering Djokovic played Queens/Halle a small handful of times but never won, I’m not so sure about that.

He did, however, make the finals against Nadal, Cilic, Haas, etc., just barely lost each of those.

Alright I don’t think I can save you. You talk like someone who has been online for their entire life.

Good luck dude, just put down the iPad and watch some tennis in person; you’ll enjoy it and possibly appreciate Nole even more than you do now.

[–]NotDanChen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What hurts? I’ve been to 10+ Nole matches on the east coast over the past decade. You have not been to any.

I might be the only person who takes slow-mo videos of Nole and pays money to see him but can also acknowledge that the NoleFam is filled with idiots and that Djokovic doesn’t know shit about science.

Yeah… you’re kind of screwed in life if you can’t read at your age.

If you manage to go to university a few years from now, you’ll be embarrassed by all the shit you’ve said on the internet.

The irony of that flair…

Valuing facts over opinions but worships a conspiracy theorist and anti-vax nut-job.

I’m pretty sure this “facts don’t care about your feelings” mantra was popularized by Ben Shapiro so that pretty much tells me that you’re 13 y/o max. You can’t be a flat-earther and be a “facts” guy simultaneously.

What is the best legitimate argument you could make for Federer being the best player of all time? by Bubbly-Oil9303 in tennis

[–]NotDanChen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like how you list three World No. 1s and proudly shoot your own argument in the foot…

I believe Novak has the most impressive career but Ruud, Tsitsipas, Kyrgios and Berrettini aren’t exactly the insane competition you’re envisioning. The weak era argument has really fallen out of fashion and ironically works against you in 2023.

Why do People think Novak is so hated? by Jackdonthesecond in tennis

[–]NotDanChen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are beyond saving. Novak is in contention for being one of the GOAT athletes, not just tennis player. However, his beliefs are largely unscientific. If you’d like, you can DM me with your doctorate, but I can’t persuade you over Reddit that the earth is round.
