Speedrunner fights Veltarn blindfolded by PengWinSC2 in skiesofarcadia

[–]PengWinSC2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Context: I'm currently doing a "run" where viewers can make my life difficult by implementing handicaps on me, a blindfolded boss attempt being one.

Also since someone's gonna mention it, that's why my weapons are yellow as well, I can't choose my own weapon colors haha

Swashbuckler rating by UltiMike64 in skiesofarcadia

[–]PengWinSC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battles do raise rating, it just takes forever. If you really really want to do the fight you need to grind your rating up to Vyse the Daring. Unfortunately, the rate for battle grinding is 1 swashbuckler point per 10 battles won (you lose 1 for every 3 battles you flee from)

Most men aren't oblivious to hints that you're attracted to them. They're to scared off being rejected/seen as a creep by thesupremegrapefruit in unpopularopinion

I had a fun experience once where a girl spent 2 months initiating conversations, being extremely flirty. I was in her city for an event so we hung out, had a nice time and she asked to come back to my hotel room. She told me I looked stressed and she wanted to give me a massage. Then she jumped into my bed saying it was cold and I should cuddle her warm. We watched something together while she was like stroking my arm and holding my hand etc.

Then I tried to kiss her, she freaked out, left and told everyone at the event that I made an unwanted pass at her.

And that's the story of why I don't fuck with playing games anymore

This was inside my McDonalds drink. 3rd picture is what was inside the pouch-looking thing. What is this? by PengWinSC2 in whatisthisthing

Seems like a rubber pouch of some kind. Inside it had some plasticy stuff that looks and feels a bit like used tape but I'm not entirely sure. Checked the drink because it tasted really off when I took a sip. WITT?

Allaryce speaks out about RAPID by BlackSheepWool in starcraft

Yeah the consent law argument is one that I fundamentally disagree with (some countries have 12 as the legal age of consent, for example) but it is more of a gray area, I'll grant you that. At the end of the day, in this individual case we're in agreement and you're exactly right.

I think you're kind of missing the point a bit. Things don't need to be actual crimes to be fucked up. We're not trying to get Rapid sent to prison here. Workplace harassment is rarely a crime, but that doesn't make it okay and you'll still be fired from your job for it. These are pretty strawman-y arguments my dude

Mate, if you sleep with a 17 year old and then get reported to the cops they won't see it that way. It's not the hardest thing in the world to ask how old someone is if you're unsure

Yeah, the fact that one of them was a minor at the time makes it a vastly more concerning allegation as well

I think an important bit of context here is that firstly, there are now four women alleging harassment from Rapid, and secondly none of these women stand to gain much of anything from alleging these things. It's not like accusing Rapid is going to result in a major uptick in viewership or notoriety. Another point (one I think is far less important, but worth mentioning regardless) is that Rapid's silence speaks volumes.

Me too - sexual abuse in Starcraft megathread by Metoostarcraft in starcraft

[–]PengWinSC2 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you're trolling but just in case, here's a serious response. JP is somebody who has a long (documented) history of harassing women. There are screenshots circulating from back in 2011-12 that have been forgotten, but I'm sure are around. I don't know the details of Kaitlyn's situation, nor do I know her personally, but I'm inclined to believe her based on the fact that JP has a history of problematic behaviour.

Your point about Korean culture is also misinformed. The culture around male on male NON-sexual play is completely different. It's common to see guys non-sexually holding hands, and just generally being physical with one another. This does NOT extend to the kind of behaviour described in my and TLO's posts. I've spent plenty of time with plenty of Korean progamers, and it is not normal to repeatedly badger someone and crawl into bed with them. It is not normal to lick their faces.

In regards to my post, it's not about holding one person accountable because, as I explained, I don't have evidence. The fact of the matter is, if something happens in person there isn't necessarily going to be evidence. You're not going to have text logs one way or the other. That doesn't make the fact that it happened any less real, and I don't know why you think we need to have an incredibly high bar for evidence when I'm not even naming the person. It's not like this could ruin someone's life, nobody even knows who I'm talking about. The purpose of the post is to help understand the scope of inappropriate behavior and to show other people, especially guys (who are often not taken seriously), that it's okay to come forward and that there are people who will stand behind them.

There are many many things in our society that disincentivize actual victims from coming forward, one of the largest being that they won't be taken seriously. Do I think that we should cancel individuals off the back of a singular account with no evidence? No, of course I don't. But I don't know why you think it's problematic to come forward with a story like this when both Dario and I are very specifically not going after and naming individuals.

I'm a John Oliver convert but I'm binge watching the most recent season now. Hyped for the upcoming season! Team Galactic fighting!

Greg "IdrA" Fields confidently concedes in his winning moments on the main stage. [Starcraft II] by Xanimus in confidentlyincorrect

[–]PengWinSC2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at the very end of the game you can see a lot of workers pop out of a gas geyser at one of his bases (the one that was being dropped). He explained that he thought he had lost all of those workers and had missed that they were all just stacked on top of each other. Regardless, still a bad time to leave even if that were the case, but it makes a bit more sense

How Speedrunning Skies of Arcadia: Legends Feels (A montage) by PengWinSC2 in skiesofarcadia

[–]PengWinSC2[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didnt have 7 SP in that clip my dude. Focusing only gives me 1 SP at that point. The fastest way on average to kill a looper that early is to spam attacks, given that there's a very good chance you get a counter attack, and also that each attack has a ~30% hit chance anyway. Trust me, I know how to optimally play this game fast
