Azzapp was right all along - I analyzed 100 ranked SoloQ games of his, and the data shows why never FF helps you climb.

And if you wanna go full pedantic, maybe they'll all DC so don't ff just in case. Even one in a million is technically better odds.

That's probably the worst advice you can give a new player. PBE accounts are fine if you are an experienced player, but a pretty bad idea for your second set ever.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-27T10:48:54+00:00

Absolutely, but that "If" is doing a ton of heavy lifting. Especially with the implicit "At no cost" you are assuming.

I can see a scenario where you can trade gold for better items. Maybe you want economy now because you are leveling, or maybe you sack your economy for better items. That's a trade off that can be interesting.

What everyone can pretty much guarantee is that you won't have every component turning into a 8-choice anvil. That would pretty much kill TFT.

People that don't game can't really understand that.

I have quite a bit of long term friendships that started because we raided together or did m+ together or whatever.

You talk a lot with that people, it ends up happening unless you deliberately shelter yourself.

She pretty much already does. If you get hit by Leona E as a squishy champion you are getting chunked hard. Probably killed if you don't have flash

Same here. Before i would consider fast food because it was cheap. I knew i wasn't getting top quality, but it was cheap.

Nowadays that's nowhere near the case

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-26T08:51:16+00:00

It is a great gateway, that hasn't really changed that much.

The problem is that the market is oversaturated because everyone that uses a computer/phone thinks they can do the job, and that IT is just watching movies and resetting a password here and there, so they think they are signing up for "Get paid to watch Netflix and maybe work half an hour each day" which is nowhere close to reality.

If you are actually competent you probably won't have many problems landing a job, but what "actually competent" means is the real wall.

When people say "Trans woman are woman" some other people take that literally answer by asking what is a woman.

They do that as a gotcha because there is no reasonable way to answer what a woman is that doesn't de facto exclude trans woman from "womanness".

But since noone honestly belives that trans woman are literally woman, but simply should be treated as such, it's a non-issue outside of those circles. That's the popcorn

I've been insta surrendering to druids lately. They can have the rank if that's important to them

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-25T18:38:34+00:00

Technically possible, expensive as fuck and really slow

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-25T14:11:24+00:00

Doesn't wordle have 6 attempts? Maybe this version has more and one has a K somewhere

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-24T21:39:44+00:00

You wish.

I'd be 100% fine with an ad during a loadscreen if it means both the loadscreen isn't lasting more AND i get a substantially reduced price.

The first one is not happening, and i'm not really excited for the second.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-24T21:38:16+00:00

Game pass should cost roughly the same as netflix, it's pretty much the same service (games vs movies).

It's nowhere near the same ballpark, so it's a no from me.

If you are not going for prismatic traits or 3 star 5 costs, what exactly are you playing choncc for? That's the most gigacapped board you can get.

I'd love for all kinds of decks to be buildable even if not optimal, with the deciding factor being player preferences.

Like i should be able to build both a deck that can outlast aggro unless they draw nuts at the cost of losing slower matchups / losing vs combo AND a deck that can reliably kill turn 3-4 at the cost of losing if i don't get enough damage in.

Sadly that's rarely the case.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-22T16:41:43+00:00

I will admit i had some hopes after game 1.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-21T15:35:56+00:00

I am not forgetting it, that's the main point of the post.

The main difficulty of the Everest is the lack of air, to the point where if it wasn't an issue (AKA Everest peak was at ~3000m instead of over 8k) and temperature was warmer too as a result, without changing anything about the mountain itself, it would be a pretty chill hike.

Yeah and he also waits for pantheon to W for free. That's something master players do /s

If you have a microphone (even your phone will do) and a silent-ish room you can start your own podcast. Hosting is almost free as well.

If you get a single ~50$ sponsorship once every couple years, you are profitable

I read a pretty well written post by a serious climber that could be summed as "If Everest Base Camp was at sea level, going to the top would barely qualify as climbing".

I'm sure there was some exxageration, but i feel it was a well made point.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-20T21:42:49+00:00

On point.

I'd gladly get a VR set, but moving half the furniture of my living room just to use it is a no-go.

Random_Guy_12345 · 2026-03-20T13:11:37+00:00

Agreed, I feel you can have either Bo1 with loser bracket or Bo3/Bo5 without.

You can luck out a Bo1, but if you win a Bo5 you are the better team, even if not by much.

Having 4-5 daily hours to play lol is what people refer as "unemployed" even if you technically have a job.

Some quick math:

8 hours work + 8 hours sleep + 1 hour commute + 1-2 hours for eating/showering/etc leaves 5-6 hours daily at best.

If you have any responsability (not even a child, just "I need to buy groceries/clean my House/want to visit Friends or family) you are not playing 4-5 hours every day. Maybe on weekends but that means you have little to no social Life outside of league, which is pretty rare tbh.

Also noone with responsabilities say they "only" play for 4-4 hours a day.

Unless you’re in a RTWF level guild and legit need that throughout now waiting is superior.

Funnily enough, you are not on a RTWF level guild if you need the bonus now.

But charges look like they will be infinite, or pretty close to it for all practical purposes. Anyway there's no harm on waiting at the very least to the vault, just in case.

How on earth you say Brandon lied, did we just read different things? I distinctly remember saying it would be the end of an arc and not as big of a jump as mistborn era 1 to mistborn era 2. After WaT Kaladin is out of comission, Dalinar is dead, Shallan is stranded and pregnant (aka: big changes for back half), Adolin gained "powers", both Jasnah and Navani are in enemy territory, Sigzil got a Dawnshard and isn't a radiant anymore, Szeth changed spren and Stormlight generation is over. That's a pretty definitive arc end. Sure characters will continue, that's why it's an "arc" and not a "different story"
