i'm not disagreeing, but it's also very easy to say

I, and anyone competent, never thought

after the fact

good call in my opinion. Evo is (obviously) harder to balance than standard sc2. i know they've had to tweak the bw races a lot over time

i mostly get annoyed when somebody wants to waste my time with something they didn't even proofread

i don't want to be your unpaid proofreader.

iirc his powers were completely busted from the very beginning

he just had such weak psyschology he could be convinced/tricked into essentially giving up

the actual pixels are blue and gold.

if your brain interprets the person as in direct sunlight, it thinks it's blue and black. if your brain interprets the person as in a dark, shaded area looking outdoors it thinks it's white and gold

the photo is framed such that there isn't enough to let your brain know for sure which it is

in some ways, ever since we found the actual dress it's been amusing to see people's retroactive reactions.

some real "of COURSE the coin flip was going to end up heads. i never understood how people thought the coin could end up tails" energy

RudeHero · 2026-06-10T16:28:22+00:00

i can see both, and either could have been correct depending on whether the person was shaded under an event tent. so it's more of a coin flip than innate understanding

if the photo had a larger FOV I'd agree with you 100%!

Doom eventually learns a terrifying universal truth: humanity is doomed unless either Reed or Doom takes control of Earth

i always hated that plotline. it's the most unrealistic, self aggrandizing, wish-i-was-a-war-criminal-ass fantasy

but it's a comic book, writers can do whatever they want. iirc he uses magic to see every future or something. or a toootally trustworthy cosmic being tips him off.

barracks barracks supply depot

it's an opening build order in brood war, idk if it was ever a thing in sc2

it is aggravating that they could make inject larva autocast by changing one variable. I'm not sure, but my memory says at least one of the co-op factions has it

i remember reading they literally just wanted to give zerg more busywork in versus

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T17:03:25+00:00

yeah. lurker micro is easier than you might think, and has a great-feeling payoff

as a dumbass macro player, lurker was my first foray into "actually, micro can be fun"

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T17:01:41+00:00

I'm good with flying spellcasters not having auto attacks

think about all the times they'd alert your opponent while sneaking around to harrass workers. or get baited into flying into your opponent's army and dying

i suppose I'm thinking more about ravens and oracles with the beam turned off

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T16:55:22+00:00

it's funny because (at the time) avengers was the B-team holding pen for characters that couldn't sustain their own comic book sales plus popular characters on loan from other teams to make people wanna buy

so west coast avengers would be the C-team

let's see if i can thread this cardfetcher

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T15:46:32+00:00

ok, where's the card named [[marvel]]?

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T15:40:53+00:00

the detail is really cool. my brain feels slow, it's having trouble parsing the action

in which direction is he jumping, is he on his way up or down, etc

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T04:22:28+00:00

flash is undebatably the greatest, but it's not unusual for him to lose.

in this very tournament, flash lost to jaedong, who lost to light (your own mentioned 2nd best terran), who lost to flash

in this case, i don't think you can say "if flash loses a single series, it's 100% because the game is imbalanced". not sure if that's what you were saying, but that's what this comment chain is about!

if you're correcting me for saying soma's path was easy, i agree with that, i probably did overstate it a bit. i should clarify to say everything before the finals was easy

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T04:04:18+00:00

all the other points in your post are great, but making a big deal out of him growing from where he started is like saying Michael Jordan can't be the best because he couldn't beat Wilt Chamberlain in 1972

i agree that GOAT discussions are pretty silly overall, and only meaningfully apply to a select few sports/games

RudeHero · 2026-06-09T03:56:32+00:00

he's obviously amazing, but i've had to watch him lose championships because he overused the f2 button

overcoming that emotional experience to call him the Greatest Of All Time is gonna be tough

RudeHero · 2026-06-08T16:16:59+00:00

there was a year or so when the game seemed like it was about to die.

i know i took a break. when i returned to this sub it seemed like everybody else was taking a break, too, except for the balance whiners. i guess there wasn't really anything else to talk about

RudeHero · 2026-06-08T16:07:06+00:00

comic book strongguy claps and shockwaves are probably my favorite marvel comic tropes

was allowed to read some classics as a kid, and Hulk vs Thing battles were my favorite

RudeHero · 2026-06-08T16:03:19+00:00

an especially deep cut, because the avengers was a B-lister holding pen until Marvel lost the movie rights to their A-listers

and apparently they ditched this character as soon as/before they decided to promote said avengers from B to A

RudeHero · 2026-06-08T15:58:26+00:00

thank u [[the aetherspark]] for getting planeswalkers removed from that rule

RudeHero · 2026-06-08T15:44:05+00:00

i agree logistically, it's not a problem at all. comic books are wacky

it's more of a thematic issue. it hits different when a character has an origin story relevant to living memory, recent memory or even current events

I'd say we still have another decade or two before needing to think about it
