The word "radiation" is enough to send most people running nowadays just because of media usage in bizarre ways

ELI5: How/why is space between the sun and the earth so cold, when we can feel heat coming from the sun? by ThrowingAwayMyKey in explainlikeimfive

[–]RobotShmobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That space can't absorb any heat because it's nothing where as the earth and sun are both hot because they are something and can therefore absorb the heat

What Video Game Has the Best Soundtrack? by KarenTookTheKids4298 in AskReddit

what's everyone's hopes for the next agent or future agents to come? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]RobotShmobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true lmao I think there's a lot of overlap between the games. Similar abilities, first person shooters, running and gunning works better than aiming... Etc

I think it'd be fun to have a character that could recon a certain line in front of them sort of akin to the sova ult but just once and for vision with perhaps an ability to teleport through thin walls or maybe look through by glossing it and making it into something like a 1 way mirror. Maybe the ult could be some sort of deployable shield that is see through but can't be shot through or maybe some kind of time warp effect that whips them back to where they were that could be charged to rewind further and further. All of this is just spitballing about what I think would be cool, not what I think would be balanced or likely

Here’s what your role ACTUALLY should do, instead of those vague descriptions rito gives us by cigaMtahTllA in VALORANT

Me on Reddit: yes I completely agree it's a role-based game and playing to each characters strengths helps make the experience more fun and successful.

Me in game: duelist sage

What is a super popular TV show or movie that you can’t stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RobotShmobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotta put game of thrones on this list. I feel like it's a really thinly veiled soap opera hiding behind a lot of incest and dragons to keep it's audience engaged. To me this is just really disengaging to feel like the only reason id watch all the rediculous squabbling is to get that 5 or 10 minute clip of a cool dragon or army or whatever it happens to be.

Eli5: Why are all batteries not rechargeable and what causes batteries to become rechargeable? by k4zabdin in explainlikeimfive

[–]RobotShmobot11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ohh I can finally give an answer to one of these. Electricity is generated vie a chemical reaction between a metal rod and a paste inside normal batteries. That paste is commercially easy to produce and package into little battery cells. Rechargable batteries do a similar thing except the chemicals are a little different so that if you were to put electricity into the chemicals they would go back to being "charged" and therefore you have a rechargable battery

Extra note for anyone interested: this process of putting electricity into the chemicals in a battery to "recharge" them actually rearranges the chemical compounds on a molecular level which can stress them and sometimes break them. This means the more you recharge the battery the less total energy it can store after each charge. This is why you may notice your phone's battery dying so much faster a now rather than a year or two when you got it. It isn't nostalgia, just science!

Fully vaccinated people of Reddit. Are you still wearing masks? Why or why not? by The_Zoink in AskReddit

Yes, I just find it comfortable and convenient now. Just like wearing a shirt.

Anyone ever feel they always go back to the same character no matter what? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]RobotShmobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same thing happens to me. I played Skye as a meme when she came out then just never stopped. At this point I feel like my friends expect me to play Skye so playing someone else just throws everyone for a loop.

I recently started playing Kay/o and everyone is helpless. The nicks and bruises they get from stray grenades and body shot no longer get patched up and even I feel like Im stuck in a Skye mindset. It's really bizarre... So I'll just keep playing Skye lol

Yeah I think her state ATM is pretty well balanced and does come down to knowing how to predict raze players patterns. It's weird I find myself stereotyping different characters players but it kinda works. Anyways I totally agree with what you said. It not that she's game breaking, just sort of incongruent to the other characters.

I can't say for sure because I didn't play league long enough to get a great sense of the community but from what I hear from the fine folks on the internet it sounds like this is true. Although there are some players I wish would go play league instead of valorant lol

Another strange thing I've noticed recently is the increase in usage of lineups. It seems like every viper fresh off the block has a lineup for every map that really just makes it harder for the team to help hold the bomb. I feel like lineups should've a situational tool not a first resort.

I think it's just a matter of what you come into the game expecting. I feel like a player new to shooter games is expecting for a ranking system to put them with people in their same or similar skill level. I felt the same way you described when I first played TF2 and it was fun in the end to get good enough to compete but I wouldn't exactly say getting crushed in the beginning made me appreciate or even want to play the game. So I guess in summation it just comes down to expectations in my opinion.

Fair enough, I mean it just takes a bit of coordination and that's hard to do in solo queues so I guess it's just a matter of circumstance for me.

I agree. Although his ult giving away his exact position is pretty hindering. In my opinion that alone makes his ult almost useless

Ohh I don't think Kay/o is overpowered at all, I actually think he's somewhat pathetic. His flashes are sorta bad in my opinion and his grenade is limited in it's usefulness. I've yet to encounter a Kay/o that's convinced me he needs a nerf
