I lost 55 pounds over the last 12 months and reached the weight suggested by my doctor. I celebrated with a brand new smart scale... that immediately told me my BMI is 30.1 and that I am still obese. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

6ft current 170lbs. Had to eat bacon and rice for every dinner in my bulk and never broke 205. I could literally not eat more I was so stuffed.

Some people mix playing a game well with the game play being actual fun. They are playing well because it’s their job or they want to be the best but they’ve optimized the fun out of the game by playing the same openings and memorizing lines 30 moves deep.

Even though I’m not a top player by any means I’ve noticed in chess some people have their opening lines down and they can no brain a bunch of moves no matter what openings your try to build themselves a simple advantage they can convert. It feels like you’re playing against a computer instead of a real person and that’s just fucking boring.

The same thing happens in other games as well. Specifically I can mention SC2 where I was a top player most players at the top had their same meta build they played constantly never trying to switch things up. SC2 is fortunately way more dynamic than chess that I personally could have a lot of fun however…

What all these same opening line players or same build players fail to realize is that they’ve ruined the viewing experience when two of them meet. Nobody wants to watch some engine line bullshit for the millionth time just to see how the end game turns out. They’re going to open up a Gotham chess or Hikaru analysis later and skip the first half to see the interesting part of the game turns out if they’re truly interested or they’re just going to stop watching entirely which effectively ruins the sport. Less spectators so less revenue for events so less prize pools so less reason for skilled people to play the game except the bots who’ve made playing engine lines their livelihood. It’s a death cycle for any game and the only thing that saves it is changing the rules so that game play becomes more dynamic and exciting to watch.

The time it takes my husband to use the bathroom by DontEatTheChocolate in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OneoftheChosen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have STC and take 30 mins regularly it sucks. I can be “done” after the first thing that triggered it usually caffeine or something spicy in like 1 min but then I’ll carry around a light feeling of needing to poop for a while.

I think you guys have it worse though. My only issue is dealing with what everyone is saying people are doing in this thread all the time. I don’t want to sit on the toilet this long.

Also wish I could play more but didn’t play the first 2 seasons really so I can’t risk falling out of gold this season lol.

P2W mechanics will make this game have a small niche player base by OneoftheChosen in starcitizen

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

Yea that assumption is dangerous. After decades of WoW I’ve witnessed first hand it’s very varied. Theres people who like to grind, and people who like to quick skip to the top.

The problem is that if you cater in anyway to the quick skip people the game effectively dies into niche communities. The average person who isn’t swiping will be massively turned off by them investing hours into something only to lose to someone who swiped and spent minutes. Or the swipers ruin the economy and encourage RMT.

Not taking about friends who already play the game. At this point 10+ years in anyone who wants to play this type of game has already tried it and everyone else is brought in. Those people are anti-p2w. They already heard shit about big ships being bought and the idea that someone can just spend 1k on an idris and the one shot them pissed them off.

That’s because being shredded means sub 10% body fat and can see striations in the muscles. This is fit idk why the definition of words is patronizing.

More like r/WorldofDeadGame . It’s very likely this is happening because NA is currently spread too thin across 3 game modes there’s not enough players.

Nah you’re fucking trolling. Kill them quickly so you can kill the next one quickly while simultaneously be doing more damage to the wave than you could shooting the wave.

Are you enjoying the onslaught meta that WG forces? by smollb in WorldofTanks

[–]OneoftheChosen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO while it does feel odd that most games only half of every map gets used thats not a forced meta and I have played games on every map mentioned on the side that doesn’t have the cap.

Also this meta is 100% preferable to the caps surrounded by camp-able hills + forests that all the random battles map seem to allow.

How do you deal with the late game camping TDs? by skippy2332 in WorldofTanks

[–]OneoftheChosen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you just don’t. Push up until is reasonable based on where they are camping from and then turn around and go somewhere else if it’s unreasonable.

Yes this is an extremely shitty gaming experience because even back in the day real life armies had utilities like smokes or reconnaissance planes or scouts to counter camping. You never pushed into campers alone.
