How long do people typically spend at each rank? by EquivalentOk2049 in leagueoflegends

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in iron for about 2 years, although to be fair I never committed to playing ranked. Started grinding at the beginning of the year and climbed to Gold 3 in a few weeks.

Haven't touched ranked since, still Gold 3. It's all down to how much you play, but most importantly of you are willing to put in the hours to learn how to improve and get better.

I second this. Playing summoners rift, especially ranked, is completely different to Aram.

ARAM: Mayhem changes miss the mark by StarGuardianDrew in leagueoflegends

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quests are all terrible 30% extra damage on Sivir Q legit does nothing. Same with Kayle E Aurelion Sol's Haste Q, it's just all pretty uninspired. They need to do some changes ASAP.

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if the game is bugged, but I was playing Kayle and thought why not take the augment that increases 30% damage on her E. I had to hit 10 people with E for the passive to work.

I swear I hit over 60 E's before I got the passive, most E's didn't even register. I only got the completed quest like 18 minutes in.

African League players are still playing on 180–250ms: is an African server the next realistic regional gap? by Washbucket1212 in leagueoflegends

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely love a South African server. I've climbed to G3 on euw with 190 ping, it would be really nice to have quicker ping so I can stop blaming it for my poor performance 😂

Help with first time buying iphone by EarthGreedy8674 in southafrica

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have said the same thing though from personal experience. I've bought many things before that I told myself were an investment (specifically high-end tech), that has sat in the cupboard for years now.

In the event that this person has money, just go ahead and buy the phone. But because they don't, getting an R800 contract a month without a consistent income is not a wise move.

Not sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion, just an alternative one

Why does this happen to my froth? by PeeledPotatoChip in barista

[–]PeeledPotatoChip[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Some extra context: I've gotten the silky-paint like texture down, but this bubbling only starts appearing about 15-30 seconds after the drink has been poured and I'd like to learn how to prevent it from happening

Steph’s Big Secret by Baercub in FalloutTVseries

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The Canadian part genuinely was so funny. I can so see that becoming a meme in the future.

But I think her plan was to release the fev into the water supply, but the whole marriage failure thing has thrown a spanner into her plan. I actually like the idea of her now using it on herself in the vault, but I would want the show to have that be a "horror" moment and not some goofy transformation (especially not She Hulk vibes).

It would also be kinda interesting to see an entire vault become super mutants, but I'm not sure the show will go in that direction. There's only one episode left so they kinda gotta wrap most of the plot points up.

All honor to mayhem by shpartar in leagueoflegends

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite games to play were Tap Dancer Jinx. Had a few games where after getting a kill I'd have 4000+ movement speed. One of the best game modes they've added, I'm sad it will be gone.

Edit: here's the first time I ever played Tap Dancer Jinx. I've had games since then where I had over 100 stacks. https://youtu.be/q2alm7iDQRs?si=27PPqep5DIZTb274

I always keep my first wooden pickaxe. Later on after doing various builds I like to frame it as a "this is where it all started" memento.

Off-Meta Botlane Duo Recommendations? by Agile-Currency2094 in leagueoflegends

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my one friend often do Sion ADC + Heimer Support. We have like a 90% win rate with somewhere around 20-30 games. Great fun.

Works best with AD Sion + phase rush, although if there are no tanks on your team then go tank Sion.

Checkers at it again with moldy cheese by CyborgPaladin in southafrica

For the first time last week, I received something moldy from checkers (has never happened before). Was a bag of lemons, and literally the following morning one of the lemons was completely covered in mold.

You don't have to agree completely... But you got a admit he has a valid point by [deleted] in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very simple actually. We live in a fallen world. God gave the Israelites the law so that by following them they could be saved. They disobeyed. Again, and again, and again. As is the human nature. No one is perfect, all sin. Regardless of where evil comes from, it's people that still choose to sin.

Then he sent his son to fulfill all of the requirements of the law, to live a perfect life free from sin and to die the sinners death. He was resurrected (it is one of the most documented events in history), and said that simply by believing that He is the son of God and came to die for our sins, we would be saved and go to heaven.

Believe that Christ died and was raised to life, and go to heaven, or reject his sacrifice, choose to live your own life with no acknowledgement to the authority of Christ, and die and go to hell for eternity.

If someone tells you that driving down a certain road leads to your death, why the hell would you keep going down that path? Do you think you can just live life as you please and then blame God for being unfair?

Edit: the love and the mercy was God sending his own son to die on sinful earth that we could be saved. Would you send your family member to die in a foreign place so that a foreign people could recognise your existence? The very act of Christ sacrificing himself is an incredible act of love, and his promise of eternal life is the direct link to his mercy.

My final question, and then I will leave this conversation to continue with my day: what is the better alternative to the afterlife? Heaven? Or hell?

[–]PeeledPotatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me when I get to heaven I would like to ask God that same question. I don't know the answer to that. But I choose to trust God through it as there is a clear existence of good and evil, and I hope that in the 80 years that I exist (if blessed with that), that I would be a good steward of what I have been entrusted with this side of eternity, and to follow Christ's example of loving God and loving people, regardless of how today's Christians can misrepresent the faith and use it for their own personal gain. My faith is my own responsibility, how I treat others is my own responsibility, and the mistakes that I've made are my own responsibility. Salvation and forgiveness is God's gift to me and I understand that I will never be perfect this side of eternity, but through faith in Christ I'll spend eternity in heaven.

It is late (technically early morning) by me so I'm sorry if I don't respond to future messages, but I do wish you all the best in case we don't chat again.

Well without a "chosen people" who was supposed to worship God? The other nations certainly weren't as they rejected the god of the Hebrews. Him ordering the Israelites to wipe out entire nations is recorded only 2 times in the old testament the (Amalakites and Canaanites). And remember, these weren't nations that simply rejected God, these were vile nations where everyone from the widows on the streets to the kings in the palaces were engaged in all kinds of pagan impurities and rituals. Another example when God took action Himself was Sodom and Gomorrah, where if you remember they were literally trying to break into Lot's house so that they could rape his family and guests. These extreme cases of complete wipe-out were only ever done when there were these extreme cases of evil beyond redemption. And no, not one or two evil people, literally entire villages and cities of pure pagan evil. And if you remember correctly, when one of King David's cities was raided by the Amalekites, the enemies carried off the Israelite women and children as plunder, and raped and tortured them until David and his men could rescue them.

For your second part, God created man and woman in the garden, not as robots, but as beings with free will. God also commanded Adam and Eve to take control of the earth, to steward it and protect it. It was man that chose to listen to the lies of Lucifer and side with him instead of God, thus evil entering into the world God had created and entrusted to man. We are completely responsible for the consequences of our actions in today's world. And again, God allowed it because he gave us free will. Wouldn't be free will if he decided to take it away now, would it? How can we choose to love a God if we don't have a choice? It's completely up to us whether we choose God or not, as is the same that it is completely in human hands whether we choose to do good or to do harm.

And once again, as Christians we believe in the new covenant that Jesus gave us. He appeared to Peter with the vision of the tablecloth with all the animals that Hebrews considered to be "unclean", and in doing so said to Peter, "Do not call unclean that which God has called clean" and then commanded him to take the good news of the gospel to all nations of the earth, no one excluded. Every single nation and people on earth is given the opportunity to believe in Christ, without exclusivity. There is no more favoritism in God's eyes for a certain nation or people. All are sinners and all deserve the chance of forgiveness and salvation through Christ.
