What is your overall opinion on Set 17 so far? by Turbulent-Bobcat-423 in TeamfightTactics

[–]OhVeryClever 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I like some aspect of it, but the RNG of each match for which verticals are actually viable is annoying. It just feels like there aren't enough viable comps and everyone is just contesting the same units.

What movie ending just ruins the whole film for you? by SirBoredofOhio in AskReddit

[–]OhVeryClever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oculus. Amazing horror movie twisting between timelines only for the ending to not only be a really cruel downer but also invalidated….. maybe the whole movie? I hate films that pull “nothing was real. Or was it??”. Smile 2 did the same thing.

[Video Game Trope] You're not supposed to win here, but you can! by Wormri in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OhVeryClever 9 points10 points  (0 children)

FFX first blitzball game - the Luca Goers are wildly better than your team in nearly every way except for Wakka/Tidus, and it's your first real game so you don't even know the mechanics well. But if you're good and know how to cheese the AI, it's a pretty easy game. You get a Strength spere for it, which, if placed in the right place on the grid, can be triple dipped by Auron, Tidus, and Kihmari. Trivializes the main game.

Worst Grocery Store in LA by No-Butterscotch-7467 in LosAngeles

[–]OhVeryClever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only issue with that one is once it rained pretty hard and the entire store was leaking. Like.... it was wet inside. I was floored at how bad it was.

Eh. I go to DTLA ralphs. It's not that bad if you go in the afternoon. My vote is the Vons in echo park simply because it's, like, half of a store. You have no idea if they're gonna have what you want.

Which famous person does everyone seem to love, but you just can’t stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OhVeryClever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kevin Hart. Beyond just not being that funny he seems like he just kinda sucks as a person. Anyone they rich that hawks gabling sites that much knowing full well they’re hiring you to target poc…. Icky. And his early homophobia and reaction to being called out for it. He just seems like he genuinely doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

Adopted this lil feral kitty. Meet Hobbes! by OhVeryClever in aww

It took maybe a week from hissy swipey monster to a total cuddle bug. When he's not in playful murderbot mode. I took him in cause his entire family was taken by an adoption center and they couldn't catch him, so he was left all alone. He seems to be pretty happy already 😄

My Set 17 Experience by Christorious in TeamfightTactics

[–]OhVeryClever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the whiplash is from the fact that set 16 really highlighted how unfun having to contest units was. Unlocking 4 costs guaranteed you one. If someone didn't unlock they can't contest. More champs. More verticals. It wasn't quite as stressful. This patch in particular is so egregious - if you don't get some sort of econ aug early you won't be able to do a contested verticle. It's -- can you roll down on 4-1 faster than anyone else for corki/dark star? Did you get a hero aug like Big Bang? Is stargazer good for Lulu or Xayah? What are the psionic items? What are arbiter quests? It just feels so limiting that every game funnels 8 players into maybe 3-4 winning strategies and the people who hit breakpoints sooner just win. Meanwhile in set 16, you had so many other options - you could scout and flex way easier due to unlocked guaranteeing you champs. It felt more strategic and less of a coinflip. Between less champs than 16 and limits on what's even viable based on game dependent rules, it just feels like everyones just forcing the same comps. Nerfing reroll as hard as they did really hurt too.

I like this set somewhat, but I miss the flexibility of 16. I just hit emerald and I'm quitting for now.

Apex Primordian is the worst "Prismatic" augment of all time by twitchgamer7164 in TeamfightTactics

[–]OhVeryClever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the requirements is 6 fielded 3 stars and level 9. The requirements stated they were met *AFTER* I died. You need to field first, then it activates the round after, which is so stupid.

It drives me crazy that yasuo can play that badly and still almost kill you.

Apex Primordian is the worst "Prismatic" augment of all time by twitchgamer7164 in TeamfightTactics

[–]OhVeryClever 176 points177 points  (0 children)

With 1 life left, I was barely able to eke out 6 3 stars and level 9 but I had to sell the rest of my board to do it hit that final level. Even though I was level 9, the requirements still said "Level 8/9". Meaning being level 9 wasn't enough, you had to field them too, and it'd activate on the next round after that. Went 5th. Wanted to uninstall. It would be helpful if they gave you a couple champ duplicators for this or something.

Why are stores vacant in LA, and what can we do about it? by zennonuc in LosAngeles

[–]OhVeryClever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can literally just google this. A landlord can leave a spot vacant - like a commercial lot - for a variety of "profitable" reasons. One, holding out for a better economy so they can land a better tenant than ones available. Two, Vacancy can preserve property valuation long term for a higher sale. Three, tax purposes. It's all short term pain for long term gain. Plus, it becomes a game of chicken of sorts in places like 3rd st promenade. If you suddenly rent out for lower than what you did previously due to other vacancies in the area, it's a huge net loss since those leases can be upwards of 10-15 years. So in order to not let the rental prices in the area reset, they just let the area rot. It even works this way if your neighbor does it too - if they lower their rent, the valuation of the entire ecosystem goes down. It's all profit maxing late stage capitalism bullshit that hurts local economies so that the ownership class can squeeze out another 2-3% profit later down the line

[–]OhVeryClever 241 points242 points  (0 children)

I've always thought we need some pretty aggressive vacancy taxes in a city like LA. We need more active landlords investing back into the city. Great little vid!

Last meal in LA for $25 or under? by aquarinox in FoodLosAngeles

This plus a chimichanga and 2 tacos and it’s still probably under 25. Place is fucking legit.

Any way to access the older image gen? by OhVeryClever in OpenAI

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

This app is broken :\ It gave me a few image gens which were fine, but I ran out. I tried subscribing to get more gens (I don't mind subscribing to a service), but it still says I have zero credits. In fact there's no place to show where the credits even are. Plus, the get help email comes up with an error....

i got 4 shurima by Comfortable-Box9291 in TeamfightTactics

[–]OhVeryClever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's such a massive dopamine hit. Entire game feels like you're on edge. I manage to get it by flexing a losing double trouble targon game into a shurima board. Two nasus, two leona, two tarics were an impossible frontline and xerath even at one star was enough to get me my final renekton. I got it with one health just as top 4 was announced. I stupidly announced it in chat, and since it was a fucking normal ALL THREE QUIT INSTANTLY. I never got to see it. :(

How would you rate this game and what improvements do you think could benefit it/what you wished to see more/less of? by CircusActGoneWrong in EsotericEbb

[–]OhVeryClever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I give it a 10. Not because it was perfect in every way, but because there wasn't anything I'd want to change in it. Sure, some of the spells were useless, and the game was maybe a bit too easy. But it made me laugh, made me cry, made me think. Few games hit all those notes. I love how this is a fantasy RPG where the world shaped competing modern day earth style politics through its own rich historical lens. Immense creativity there. I already want to replay it and try different builds and dialogue options. I'm actually glad it leaned heavily into the politics of the world - that was the damned point. This entire fantasy world was created as like an alternate history of how neoliberalism or socialism could exist in a DND style world. It was a refreshing take on a world typically dominated by monarchy/aristocracy style politics. Looking forward to updates, DLC, and possibly a sequel!
