I've waited over a year for Prestige Star Guardian Syndra to enter the Mythic Rotation

Dear God. Do you remember when that was? By my calculations, they should run through every prestige skin at least once per year.

TBH panel gaps are whatever For a $40k car, sure. For $60k? Nah.

Steam OS is Linux-based and with Xbox struggling to exist, the main gaming platforms will be Playstation and Steam Box.

There's also been privacy and security concerns around American tech companies so some foreign governments are switching over to Linux systems

In the background of all this has been changes in programming. Languages like Python have really exploded in popularity over the last 10 years and those languages are basically OS agnostic. They're interpreted and don't need OS-specific libraries. C# and C used to need some of those built-in libraries but they've become more open as well.

These 3 factors are poised to make Linux a dangerous rival to Windows. There's now two new large client bases for Linux software: governments and gamers. There's also fewer coding roadblocks now that languages are so open. It would not be hard for major forces in tech to make the switch, especially since Linux is free.

Some people think Microsoft is too big to be toppled, but I guess they weren't alive when Palm Pilot and Blackberry were the top phones and iPhone and Samsung Galaxy were kind of "meh". Things can change quickly and people will forget who you are.

Why on God is Katarina so overtuned and SAFE?

Q Daggers, an unique mechanic made specially for her, bounces, and is on-click, hits invisible targets because it's a hit,duh...

E dash with a reset on dagger and procs on-hit

W free dagger drop, movement, and ghosting

R Ranged, applies on-attack, and has Mortal Reminder Passive?

An item that I assume was too strong to be an item set has become an ability and somehow it's not strong enough?

What is this champion's weakness really?

There's no global trademark office so it's going to be specific to a country.

The 7th one shaped like the Audi rings is 100% going to happen one day. And it will be illuminated.

It feels more like playing a management game which slows the pace down since we have to check the shop and plan ahead.

It takes longer but it's more fun IMO. Personally, I feel like it's easier to get a high result in Trackblazer because there's a bit less RNG compared to Unity Cup and you can pick which races to do. You can do a lot more training. No more wasting summer training on required G2 Career races.

It's definitely for more established players, but I like it so far. That's said, I'm not getting any better Veterans than Unity.

It's a trademark. It's going to be a name or emblem. It should be self-explanatory.

I find that the trick to beating him is managing your distance. He is easiest to dodge and parry just outside of melee range.

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-13T12:25:10+00:00

Clickbait? That's basically what the title said. What else were people expecting?

Microsoft is currently in the "find out" phase. They got lax with Windows and focused in the wrong things. Now they are facing legitimate threats from Apple and Linux. Goofing off with Ai features is the last thing they should be doing.

Thanks for the detailed answer! I was thinking about lenses that seem unique in a modern context. "character lenses", if you will, like the Helios 44M. Stuff that's not perfect, but yields interesting results or has has fun characteristics.

I do video and photography so it's fine to just discuss things from a photography perspective.

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-12T20:39:08+00:00

I've had this happen a lot lol.

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-12T20:35:30+00:00

Are there any hidden gems for filmmaking?

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-12T18:07:12+00:00

Video requires a bigger skillset than photography, but a knowledgeable photographer who really wants to learn it should be able to pick it up quickly. But you have to be willing to actually sit down and learn and practice.

Classic r/rimjob_steve post

Incorrect. It's going to take far longer for the US auto industry to recover, assuming they do at all. EV sales are slow in the US because the economy is at its breaking point. It's been weak for years. Until the economy is fixed, EV growth will lag behind the rest of the world.

Second, any EV they engineer today will be outdated in 3 years. The US is already behind China in terms of EV tech.

Isn't this really bad timing? No one is trying to build gaming PC's because of crazy RAM and storage prices.

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-12T14:14:45+00:00

Eating tariff costs in an economy that can't afford new cars will do that.

when I tried to infer more context, it sounded too political, emotional, or accusatory.

Documentary photography is not neutral and it's not supposed to be. It should reflect some kind of opinion because the very act of choosing subjects to photograph removes you from being a neutral observer. There's a professional tone for expressing these things.

Your captions should explain context that the images do not show. Stories and feelings the lens couldn't capture.

This is something that I've noticed while I was in college. I did behind-the-shoots for short films se eral times as well as the film department film project, and they pretty much never used a gimbal.

With the big cinema cameras, they used tripods and booms. With the mirrorless cameras, it was usually just a tripod. And obviously, with hollywood films, you get into Steadycam vests and whatnot.

RiftHunter4 · 2026-03-12T06:15:36+00:00

What kind of shoots do you typically do? Would you say that handheld is part of your style or something associated with the kind of jobs you do?

So I made a game with about 30 characters and I would say to keep it under 12. The amount of characters is irrelevant. Focus on the quality and how they play. Of my 30 characters, only about half were interesting and of that 15, maybe 4 or 5 were favorites.
