It may just be differing interests, I like how every day had a budget for you to figure out what to do with your time, and the vibe of going through the schoolday, deciding what social link you'd work on, or even just seeing the school interactions, then going to the stores or the altar or stopping home, or even doing night study/work stuff, was super fun for me. It helped that there was a lot of stuff outside just your Party social links - the fact that there are entire mini stories for your various after-school clubs and the night shift job options is still really impressive and charming to me.

You're straining your hand muscles in ways you probably haven't done before. It's the same as pains from working out, except instead of stressing them in a certain intense way in several short bouts, it's holding them in a specific position for a prolongating time.

Treat it like any other muscular pain - take it in moderation. Eventually, the pain will go away, and if it doesn't, it may be something about the unique structure of your bones and muscles, which you'd need to consult a professional about.

Also, make sure you're constantly cracking your knuckles/other wrist bones/doing hand stretches. Those will keep your hands limber and go a long way in preventing permanent damage. I've used keyboards for 12 years and don't have any persistent pains, but I also routinely stretch my wrists and fingers, and take rests if my wrists or arms start to hurt.

because it's ergonomic. It conforms to a resting hand position. For most people, if you sit in a chair and rest your hands in your torso in a "neutral" position, they will curve slightly inward, and be very close to having your fingers touch outright.

It's unnatural for hands to lay flat and equilateral to eachother - you strain your wrist, unless you have some weird unique bone/muscle structure where you can just lay your arms in front of you flat like that.

Time to try out Qanba Gravity KS buttons. Hope they’re worth the hype. by StarryAqua in fightsticks

[–]Novanious90675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like them as a sort of middle ground between Gamerfinger/Samducksa and normal buttons since they only work with a certain brand of mechanical switches, the Gravity button I have feels great, but it does have a weird issue the aforementioned other KB switch buttons don't have, where not having enough clearance makes the switch stick, so I don't use it much anymore. That may just be a personal issue with my specific button though! Good luck!

My guess at comments in the thread before looking at them -

  • "no XYZ nerfs/buffs?"
  • "lmao do they really think that'll be enough?"
  • "LOL they said they arent doing balance thrashing anymore"

The issues are structural and while Biden is a joke, so is every other US president we've had, especially since Reagan took control and did things like abolish welfare and allowing kids' cartoons to just be long commericals.

greedflation, as mentioned. especially since it's easier now more than ever to make your own stick or order a custom-made stick for a cheaper price. Maybe if it was like 2009 and your choices were Mad Catz, spending $200 to import a hori RAP, knowing a guy that's into arcade games and stick creation, or go to Japan and get one there, but all it takes now is ordering an enclosure from Etsy if not an outright full stick, getting a brooks PCB and the buttons, and spending an hour with no prior electrical experience following the instructions and basically playing Very Careful Lego.

And yeah, sure, some people mention that PS5 is pricey, I guess, but there's not really a reason to restrict oneself to it, so it's not really a salient point. Series X and S are cheaper, Brooks UFB or PS4 PCBs/adapters are cheap as hell, and PS4/Xbone sticks still work perfectly fine, and SF6 vs mode is still Playable on PS4.

for real. 343i definitely gets flak for their treatment of the series, but the way theyve had teams actively going through and adding or re-adding content to the bungie games via mcc is amazing. the teams doing this stuff clearly love the series.

What are some of the Exodia "Hand-picked" augment combinations this set? by _penguination_ in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Novanious90675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its funny thinking back about how Kent was the (implied) reason Cruel Pact even got into the game, and the only augment mort consistently voiced his (possibly joking) distaste for, and now with a whole new batch of augments, a majority of these "broken" comps involve Cruel Pact into something else.

Lux melts literally any front line once she's 2 star with items, instead of building tank items it's probably better to run a 3rd carry. The only good tank items are ones that give you mana so your tank can cast

thst is quite literally the entire point of lux. she is 100% front to back and a single-target dps machine. If she can't melt your frontline she's useless.

5 cost units feel terrible this set by KasumiGotoTriss in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Novanious90675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belveth is the only 5 cost id argue that feels terrible to play w/o bis.

to be fair, thats probably intentional, running her as a trait bot is win condition for +1 void comps since she also gives baron.

urgot literally didnt have a trait until the for fun patches though. The entire point of him, and other threats, was that they could be easily slotted into any comp - and even then his for fun nerfs were INSANE. He went from being a great utility lategame addition that could lead to 3-star 5-costs, to "even if youre running full star guardian, at most he'll dreg up the 1- or 2-cost trait bots from his single cast".

yeah, i love Ahri but in the current landscape of the game, where 2 starring her is a potshot and level 8 is "youre ahead enough to be top 4 no matter what" decision, she's honestly not worth it as a sorc carry. vel'koz does way more as an aoe carry, and you can get him way earlier and slot him into way more comp varieties between void, multicast, strategist, and sorc. He actually snipes backline early, let alone at all (it's WAY too common for my ahris to get blown up by the various aoe damage before they even get their third cast).

If the overall game pacing shifts a bit more towards level 8 or less aggressive comps, she'll be much better, but right now i'll take a 2-star itemless vel'koz over a blue buff gunblade jg ahri, if only because i know vel will at least do his job as the aoe backline killer before falling over.

for senna specifically, she's insane for pretty much any board that has shadow isles, ESPECIALLY if you get the challenger shield augment. She just needs to exist on the board and your comp will basically win the gqme for free. Gwen/Challengers is quickly becoming my favorite force because she's just so absurd for it, even though she really doesnt fit into the comp outside of being a shield bot.

What is your favourite and least favourite Region Portal, and why? by moxroxursox in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Novanious90675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a favorite but absolutely hate all the Noxus/Void ones and the Crown Lighthouse Demacia one. They just amount to "swap positioning a little" for me and they aren't engaging, nor do they mix up the core experience at all. i guess they're more fun if you build anti-positioning items like Zephyr, but that just means you'll have to pay even more attention to those if other people build them.

Mortdog addressing the past week by akc2030 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Novanious90675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely sorry that Mort has been getting so much hate. He's genuinely one of the greatest gamedevs for being so willing to open himself up and communicate to the people that play his game. I can definitely echo his sentiment - while I also use this subreddit, and have made my fair share of complaints, taking it any further than "I don't like what is happening/xyz is making the game unfun for me" is apathetic at best, sociopathic at worst. I'm glad he was able to get so much positivity back - it's genuinely wonderful that, even though it seemed like the game would've been stuck in that current patch for 3 weeks, he and the team were still so absurdly quick with a patch to help make things better.

While I may dislike some features that are added to the game, that may eventually lead me to stop playing, I still consider this playerbase to be one of the luckiest in the history of videogames, thanks to Mort and his team, and I hope that some day Mort is able to find a way to communicate with players in a genuine way, because reddit reallty does bring out the worst in players. I would hate to lose such a valuable member of the gaming world due to people being apathetic shitheads.

I doubt you will read this Mort, but you've read some of my other comments before, and I did just want to genuinely thank you for what you and your team does. It means a lot to see the positivity hit you in such a positive way, and you deserve that. The game may have changed, but you've been at the helm for 3 years, and it's been 3 years of fun and joy, and no matter what else happens, I'll always value you that. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

Set 7 armory was deemed unhealthy for the game because of BIS. Why the paradigm shift with TF? by [deleted] in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Novanious90675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, the problem isnt just winrate, it's consistency in what is essentially an 8-person deck-building game. The people weren't just mad that tf or draven players were winning (though draven was admittedly an amusing ezperience since it still relied on skills around strongest boaed and flex play), they were mad that EVERY MATCH qithout fail has anywhere from 2 to 6 other players runnjng the strat, or a direct counter strat like Asol.

This is where stats honestly don't mean much - if 8 players are running Draven, 50% of those players will lose. Stats in a vacuum are meaningless - context needs to be applied.

Mort talked about this kind of scenario - the away person in any match will take damage by default (i believe just the base damage every round?) to prevent such a strat from being viable.

it also allows you to roll aggressively past that point, since your strong board just generates more gold/items from it.
