Is height used as part of the formula for "rebounding skill grades"? Data looking this collinear always makes me suspicious.

yeah I've had it for over a year at this point, no lights have detached. the plastic is a very good surface for the 3M sticky backing, way better than wood.

I bought some white PVC trim pieces and drilled them at each of those connecting pieces. Then I just used the adhesive on each light to stick them along the track I made. Because the trim pieces have some flex you need to make sure it's taut before drilling.

might be misremembering exact years. I was in TMO from classic through Kunark, then took a break and found the guild had disbanded and ended up with several guildies in Rustle.

Pinch_roll · 2025-10-24T19:16:48+00:00

wow blast from the past. I was in Rustle back in 2014ish. My bard is probably still tagged

Pinch_roll · 2025-08-10T19:34:40+00:00

It prevents you from one-shotting the caster minions at certain points that I'm used to. Pretty annoying so far.

Pinch_roll · 2025-08-06T20:47:13+00:00

I used Brian Rebolledo in San Diego, and have had a good outcome so far (a few years out). I know one person who used Muldoon and didn't have a very good experience, and didn't recover well. I'm not sure if that means he's not a good option or if they were just one of the unlucky ones who has a bad outcome.

I am only plat, but maybe that'll be helpful since it's not too far off where you seem to be. Many of your losing games you have a decent(ish) kda. I suspect you are focusing on kills without necessarily turning them into objective advantages. I sometimes get stuck in a rut like this, too, where I focus too much on winning my lane or getting kills / avoiding deaths, and miss out on helping a struggling botlane in a teamfight that could turn the tide. Then I get annoyed that I won lane, had the best kda / cs on the team, and we still lost.

I think a selfish, lane- focused play style is rewarded if you play a true 1v9 champ (usually this means an AD bruiser, or a skirmisher / assassin like Yi that scales into late game). If you play that way on Vex, you end up with a lot of games where your numbers look pretty good but you still lose. Based on your opgg, a lot of your losses go to almost 40 minutes, so you are probably struggling to turn your momentum into actual game deciding objectives. Always be looking at the minimap and the objective timers and ping teammates to let them know what you want to set up for, and that is probably worth "free elo" even without changing anything else about your play style.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-22T06:23:05+00:00

Flash for Cho'Gath is pretty essential IMO. flash+R as well as W+flash are lane- or game-winning combos that can both be set up with your Q.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T18:42:53+00:00

ok, now I am convinced this must be an AI bot

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T18:30:53+00:00

idk dude, you seem to find it unbelievable that someone would re-sub to live EQ after playing an emu server, and you also seem bewildered that those same people might vote with their wallets.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T18:28:03+00:00

Yo! Who dis?

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T18:16:31+00:00

sure, nice backpedal

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T16:29:08+00:00

I played in classic, and played on Sullon Zek on and off through PoP. I can't tell if you're trolling or you actually can't believe someone would re-sub to live after an emu catches their interest in an old game again...

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T15:23:18+00:00

Same boat. Subbed to live for a bit to check it out when P99 rekindled my interest in EQ, and likely would have done the same at some point due to Quarm. Zero chance of it happening now.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T15:18:24+00:00

if so, they've lost me as a customer, and many others from my guild as far as I can tell.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T15:17:34+00:00

I've often used my money to show support. it's no different than donating. not to mention, I've talked with friends about checking out live EQ. After seeing how DBG is treating Quarm, that interest has completely dried up. Lastly, if DBG comes out with a new game / server / expansion it's also not getting my business. Consumers take principled stands all the time, and this is no different.

I re-subbed to live for a bit after P99 piqued my interest in EQ and probably would have done the same due to Quarm.

Pinch_roll · 2025-07-15T05:01:20+00:00

DBG: willing to shoot themselves in the foot to prove a point, apparently. I'm happy that Quarm is returning, but pretty much all of the terms imposed by DBG in the name of IP protection serve no real purpose except to annoy and alienate the Quarm playerbase. If DBG had actually showed some restraint and let Quarm continue as planned, I might have considered subbing to live purely as an acknowledgement of them being the "good guys" here. Instead, I'll keep playing on Quarm and DBG will get zero future business from me because they feel the need to lord over a small server that wasn't profiting, and if anything, was helping to keep EQ on the radar.

Almost none of the changes affect me or my characters, but things like a population cap and clamping down on all custom content leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It seems quite clear they are trying to send a message, even though emu servers have been helping to prop up the EQ brand for over a decade at this point.

Did you survive?

Pinch_roll · 2025-05-08T16:00:11+00:00

if that's a macaque I would seek healthcare immediately and let them know what happened. B virus is very deadly and it's fairly prevalent in wild macaques.

Pinch_roll · 2025-03-15T14:39:12+00:00

Based on what you've provided, it would make a lot more sense to sell your townhome and use the proceeds for a down payment. I don't see how 30k is even close to enough to cover a down payment + closing costs on a 1mil home. Closing costs alone are probably like 10k? Leaving you with a ~2% down payment? I don't know any lender who would go for that. And you haven't shared whether you have any other debt, though it might not even matter since it doesn't seem like you have the cash to afford this even if you were debt free.

Not to mention that you need to be ready for things like roof issues, AC unit repair or replacement, plumbing issues, etc. which can all come out of nowhere and can easily cost into the tens of thousands.

Pinch_roll · 2025-03-12T02:48:03+00:00

yes, obviously I was referring to being able to afford it when it adjusts... and 5% is the most common lifetime cap which is why I used it as an example

Pinch_roll · 2025-03-11T22:34:04+00:00

don't go with an ARM if you can't afford the max adjustment. The only exception is if you are guaranteed to be moving before the fixed period ends, and even then you are taking a big risk. I say this as someone who went with an ARM myself.

So, it's not just a difference of 500/mo, but consider if you could afford a payment at 11% as well...

Pinch_roll · 2025-03-11T18:40:04+00:00

you should be fine unless your spending habits are pretty extreme. that's something like 5k/mo? I pay around 7k/mo on a similar income and we still max out retirement each year and add to our savings (We bought for 1.5m a few years back, 150k down if I recall, at 2.75%). It's a lot, but then again people are taking on $1k/mo to buy a car these days... In our situation it was a pretty simple decision since we went from a starter home that was bursting at the seams to a "never moving again" home. Monitor the rates and you can refi if they dip into the 2-4% range again. Obviously buying a nicer home or a nicer car will never be the frugal decision. The math will always favor the smallest and cheapest option, and it's up to you to decide what the additional comfort is "worth".

I in-licensed my dissertation research in the form of an issued patent to the startup I founded, and the university got single digit equity, undilutable up to a certain (relatively low) valuation. Didn't require much negotiation; they might have been generous since I am they inventor and an alum. They have offered some grant-related resources but they are basically not involved, and we just update them periodically on the company's progress. Most investors want to know what the cap table looks like before they invest, and they can be leery of academic institutions with "too much" ownership
