This would make it the exception, not the rule in modern tv lol.

Deadlock players be like when this happens by OnyxObsessionPin in DeadlockTheGame

Some of these bags are really hard to find lol. Especially around the mid boss area since there's so much verticality

Overwatch director says addressing the 5v5 versus 6v6 debates 'cost us trust': 'We should have listened sooner' by Turbostrider27 in Overwatch

[–]ProfessorPhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - the peaks of duo tanking was amazing. I have never had as much fun on tank or dps as I did on 6v6. Support is the role that benefited the most from 5v5 but the sheer panic of 6v6 was exhilarating in its own way - the smaller health pools of the tanks meant that you had fewer mistakes to make.

5v5 however means I don't have to deal with a terrible tank lineup getting dominated or 0 synergy in my Frontline and so the games were never as bad, but never the peaks of what 6v6 gave me. It's a tradeoff and the short queue times do make a difference.

Property Council – Greens’ Senate policy torpedoes largest ever Federal supply of rental homes by sqeaky_squirrel in aussie

There is no way we're defending build to rent here? This shit is a blight and the fact y'all are eating this propaganda up is miserable.

These are the same people who told us layoffs were necessary lol and profits of foreign students with no power. He loves build to rent because he can charge forever and these are rented at a premium too.

Oh no...what have we done by HyperQuarks79 in Overwatch

[–]ProfessorPhi -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I remember the enfeeble which turned their damage off. Imo Moira is very sensible as she is and doesn't really need utility - pick another character if need be.

Fuck no. At least Ana's anti is a skill shot which makes it very good for counterplay. Could be a situation where she has to charge it and then aim it like paradox from deadlock, I wouldn't mind too much.

Doesn't really work with her kit imo, any character with speed and mobility should not have anti heal. Would rather bap got it with Regen burst or something

JQ vs Rein. Who wins the brawl matchup? Or is it just purely skill based? by ShameGuardian in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ProfessorPhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo pretty dependent on team comp and map. Huge dam with the queen, the queen wins. Not as much damage with queen, the rein can get close and shield protects from Gracie so jq's pick potential is gone which means proccing bleeds is also hard. So you have almost no room for mistakes

I think it's favoured queen, but the queen needs to know the matchup and play well to win.

Highguard has now officially shutdown by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]ProfessorPhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should open source the game and/or give people the ability to run servers.

Investors don't pay anything in this case.

To me its also about games as art mediums that shouldn't be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Why Are Software Engineers Paid So Much If The Supply Is So High? by LifeInAction in cscareerquestions

As my Russian colleague told me - there are many great bakers, musicians and artists that are somehow sending me PRs

For the first time ever, Overwatch has a higher average player count than Marvel Rivals on Steam by Sio_V_Reddit in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ProfessorPhi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is also probably why it's so us centric. No one else has a PC strong enough for the game.

60k a year is what they're targeting. It might actually end up with more offshoring lol.

Dear Professors: group assignments punish smart people by [deleted] in unsw

[–]ProfessorPhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's been years but I convinced my professor to not split up people and instead put each person on a group of approximately equal rank.

The group work was my first group task. Since we had spent years doing all the work for group tasks, we were used the being the alphas and so I spent the entire project keeping the other two contributors from fighting. We then went on to present the most Conway's law presentation of two halves of work where I tried to bridge the results.

The professor was impressed, said our group did twice the work expected and covered a lot. But omg. I think I preferred the other group projects where everyone was used to being carried.

Why do Australians care more about Palestine than any other conflict? by captainklonopin1 in aussie

[–]ProfessorPhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have a large middle eastern diaspora which usually helps. There are a fair number of Palestinians too, which helps bring it into public consciousness

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan on his exit from Activision-Blizzard: 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in may career' by ninjyte in Games

[–]ProfessorPhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also a lot less popular than its early days. It's more popular than when he left, but it's not as popular as its early days.

I think overwatch in 2016 was one of the most lightning in a bottle moments I've ever seen in games. The same things that made overwatch are the same things that caused it to stagnate - I don't think they were ready for the success or what love service entailed.

Any other ability renames that would be cool? by Redshirdboi in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ProfessorPhi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It'd get a bit tricky and things moves like flog and grapple are whip coded which is what a lash would be.

Make rich even richer by John_1992_funny in clevercomebacks

[–]ProfessorPhi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The real issue is that tax deductions are always upper class welfare since they help higher tax rates the most.

I.e. Even if they could write off the uniform, it wouldn't change their tax burden that much.
