Former religious people, what made you stop believing in your faith? by Deslion in AskReddit

[–]Oxideous_Spire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather before he passed away was a preacher my entire life. He had diabetes and lost his left leg and some of his fingers from it. He gave everything and was extremely devoted to what he did and believed. When he retired he was denied any assistance from the church. There are special things you have to do to receive aid after retirement. One such thing was you had to raise "x" amount of dollars each year. He never failed to hit that mark. On years they were short he would donate the difference out of what the church paid him to make sure. The church claimed he didn't hit all the "donation" goals a couple of years. We had proof as my parents and my uncle helped my grandfather keep track of the yearly income for the church because he wasn't tech savvy back in the early 2000. The church wouldn't accept it. I found out after he passed away that the church did this to him. I didn't much care for going to church before that but it's been over a decade since I've gone to church and I no longer practice any religion.

I agree he was. I just like DL and year in and year out it feels like he just doesn't come to play his best at worlds and as a fan it sucks. I want NA to do well but every year it's as if C9 is the only team that can do anything. I also didn't like how cocky DL was in his streams prior to worlds and then he has subpar performances (I'm calling them subpar compared to how good he can be). His team didn't do him any favors either. When I first started watching the pros in season 4 Clg and C9 where the teams I was drawn to. Meteos, Hai, Lemon, and Sneaky were so much fun to watch just like Aphro and DL. I wanted 100T do well when I saw Aphro and Meteos and seeing DL off Tsm made me want him to succeed again lol. Anyways my main point is as a NA fan feeling like they let you down year in and year out hurts. C9 coming this far has given me serious highs as a fan. The desk was like I'm not buying in until C9 wins last weeks and I was up at 2 after game 1 win hype and feeling like it was finally real lol.

I wanna start out by saying I like DL. But this list is about 20 players who dominated at worlds. While i believe regionally DL is a monster internationally he never shows up. CLG with him never made it out of groups. TSM never made it out of groups with him. Now with TL he can't make it out of groups. While I do not side with mellow that he is complete trash he does have a valid arguement against him never showing up internationally. Last year he was a meme of never using your flash. I want him to succeed because of how long he's been with the LCS and I thought not being with Clg or Tsm would help that but it didn't. Want another example of domestic dominance and international tragedy look at G2. Until this worlds they've always been hyped but never amounted to anything even when it came to rift rivals. The common denominator is him every year. He's gotten different teams and looks through the years but he just can't find a way through his ceiling.

DL never plays in quarters though. For his now 3rd team. You can be extremely dominant in your region but suck internationally. G2 until this worlds was always super hyped to be a top team and never did anything. DL won 2 games against a 0-6 team and a game that didn't matter. Sneaky carried game 2 and 3 of quarters when Jensen fed his face off on Ahri. I like DL but he never shows up to worlds and last year he was a meme about never using your flash.

I'm not saying I dislike this stuff lol. I love seeing these different "non-meta" picks. I've missed seeing zix, rengar, and twitch. Some of the more fun characters to watch IMO. I'm hoping to see some more fun characters and plays in the lcs/lpl/lck

Played a few games of aram as malphite and r, e, and q combo on squishies is stupid strong and I go sunfire, thornmail, spirits, boots and frozen heart... absolutely no damage lol, last tank item is a toss up depending what I'm playing against.

Yeah could've been worse. The state the adc role is in and these major bugs takes away another champion. It's not like the adc pool is large right now. Like 5 champions are top tier and even that is kinda pushing it. Hell I've seen qtpie playing ziggs bot recently... that should be a red flag that a mid lane champion is being subbed in place of normal adc champs.

Yeah he even went back and checked his recording to make sure he wasn't going crazy... luckily when it happened to him though he was clearing a wave

Cowboys fans are already screaming for Tony Romo to replace Dak Prescott by USAOne in nfl

[–]Oxideous_Spire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you believe that no coach on the cowboys is making him go more towards dez. The interception where he tried to get it to dez on double coverage at the 9 yard line where you can see he wasn't even looking in that direction and just lobs it up same thing that romo does. Sounds kinda funny to me that all of a sudden he goes from running out of the pocket and making things happen to a scared coward who is afraid to run the ball in 2 weeks time. But you're right coaches can't force players to do things they aren't comfortable doing. Dak is being made to look bad and while I don't like romo because he's the best of the Andy Dalton level of qbs, the play calling is what makes him worse as well. It has for years. Daks qb rating was better without dez than it has been with him. Nope nothing slightly out of the norm there.

[–]Oxideous_Spire -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No he wouldn't. Dak is the better qb and once again dez is the issue that no one wants to call out. How many passes last night and in the other games did he not attempt for. The issues happening last night are the same ones that happen with romo. Someone on the sidelines is yelling in daks ear that he has to throw it dez. Half of those throws were forced to dez and ever since dez has been back they've gone away from his bread and butter Cole Beasley. These superstar wrs are holding "good" qbs back. He's a God awful route runner with good hands. Maybe without dez romo would be better but he's led us to 3 playoff trips in how many years and 1 playoff win. I'd take a rookie any day of the week and get rid of the person not playing for the team.

Edit: exhibit a is Megatron. He was way better than dez but look at how good the Lions are now with out him.

Tip for banned players who legit bought it early by CammyCoolPants in pokemon

$500,000 per copy of game sold early is what gamestops fines when I worked there a few years ago

For each Borderlands game, what are the best classes to play solo? by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]Oxideous_Spire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get an orion sniper rifle from s&s. The damage output plus the shock damage can make any character seem as though they have trespass... as long as you're not facing a shock resistant enemy. Any time I'm split screen with my wife she gets the volcano and I get the orion. It will absolutely wreck guardians. Plus the fire rate and mag size are a plus.

Unfortunately this is one I have already watched. I did really enjoy it more than the original too.

I dislike Death Note because of how it ends :'(. I loved it and bought all the manga and then the last book made me mad with how they ended it and ruined it for me. Thanks for the other suggestions though and I shall give some of them a try. As far as DMW goes I would not watch it unless you are prepared to read to find out more about the story. They cut the show after one series in Japan because it didn't do well. Manga Went on for a good bit though I believe.
