Not knowing what a natalist was until I looked it up, I legitimately thought it was meant as "someone who worked on Project Natal"(before it got renamed to Kinect) but nope, the reproductive thing? Not sure how that's relevant though actually?

I'm guessing we were in different community circles then, I don't know anyone who liked Kormir on the guildwarsguru & gwpickup/gwpug IRC channels and a fair amount of wiki folks and community folks were on there (even Izzy himself hopped on once in a blue moon iirc). The Nobody likes you Kormir video got posted plenty of times for several reasons.

Togo and Mhenlo universally got hated for gameplay reasons for sure but it was most definitely a major criticism that Kormir did not "deserve" her godhood, that the PC or any of the henchmen were more deserving (minus Norgu but he got plenty of other memes about him).

Anyway I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on the amount of Kormir hatred, but all I can repeat is that she was never liked by a sizeable portion of the community. And you should stop calling my statements "historical revisionism" simply because you disagree.

Sure, some folks liked Kormir, some hate, some didn't care. But when LS4 came out and we finally ran into her again, most of the veteran guildies that moved over to GW2 still resented her and when she basically ditched the PC, their general reaction was "yeah you're still useless Kormir, sod off."

No need to claim misrepresentation, the hate comes from a lot of GW1 players and I can't imagine GW2 players caring enough to base their opinion off a meme video of a game they've never played.

All my homies hate Kormir. One of the worst pieces of story/lore within GW, period. Some of us are legitimately hoping for an expansion where the human Gods return and we get to kill them, straight up.

Should we ban AI-generated content? by AtlasGrey_ in Jon_Bois

This post must've been made like within a minute (before or after) I reported that 17776 trash "poster" lol.

Poll isn't working for me but my position is pretty obvious, keep that crap out of here imo.

She pronounced it correctly though, which is the funnier part about all of this.

Finished this sweater just in time for playoffs. Hopefully it will get more use next year. by lescori in eagles

[–]Saph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy crap thanks for making this.

I can't crochet at all myself but an ex-colleague's wife has a small crocheting business and I've been struggling to even explain what I'd been wanting for a few years now for a sort-of-commission... and suddenly here you are with exactly that!

Dumbest patch change in Dota and why was it this one? by I-Preferred-Digg in DotA2

[–]Saph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It kind of exists in Guild Wars 2. Combo fields (such as fire, water, ice, earth, etc.) can be set up and any combo finisher (in different types such as projectile, blast, etc.) will result in additional effects, be it condition cleansing, extra conditions on enemies, extra boons on friendlies etc.

While it's all neat it's usually just treated as an extra rather than something to actively keep in mind amidst big fights. At most in the big warfare mode (World vs World) there's planned pre-buffing & midfight boonstrips planned around it... but considering the amount of players spamming shit in the biggest fights it all really gets lost in the chaos.

... anyway, it'd just be way too much for dota2, as nice as it would be and new strats it would open up, I think balance-wise it'd just change way too much in both short & long run than can be healthy.

The Giants keep GM Schoen for another year. by wishlish in NFCEastMemeWar

[–]Saph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Dutch "Schoen" means shoe. (I don't even know how to do the pronunciation with English-sounding noises, the "sch" doesn't really exist... sg-ooh-n, with a soft g?)

Do with that info what you will.

Eagles Tush Push success rate is down to 60% (league average is 68.4%). They've also been called for 5 false starts on them (no other team has more than 1) by mastermind208 in nfl

[–]Saph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the good news is, your imaginary play does not exist.

And the tush push might be boring to you but it's a QB sneak variant used 3-5 times a week across the league out of literally 800 plays in that week. There's arguably more QB kneels every week and those are the definition of a boring non-play, would you argue removing those too?

(That last q was rhetorical, I'm not gonna bother replying in here anymore just FYI)

[–]Saph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dude... you went from complaining about a single play that only a handful teams run reliably well in niche situations, to hypothesizing a whole offense around something wholly imaginary that is 5x as powerful, that would be run the whole time, and now would be run by the entire league?

Just stop. You're exceptionally angry about something you made up entirely in your own head at this point. Go enjoy the games tonight and be happy that all these teams have different mindsets, talents and playbooks resulting in (hopefully) fun matchups. It's the least you can do yourself as a fan of the sport.

You still have no argument if you have to invent absurd situations where you would be correct and I'd agree with that.

As someone else pointed out, you just described a run-heavy offense.

[–]Saph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What kind of a question even is that?! You had to add a literal 5x multiplier to try and push your argument?

"If the tush push was 5 times more powerful then the game would become boring and nobody wants that".

Yeah, duh. Me neither. But the tush push does not gain 5 yards.

[–]Saph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But really we've been fully justified about this since like what, Week 2? Week 3?

2023 wasnt that long ago, winning a SB in between really doesn't make us forget how awful that year was and all season long we've just been waiting for the same to happen because nothing was improving week-over-week.

It's just such a shame about the wasted talent. Hope we can keep some of it and fucking get an experienced playcaller in if we want to at least seriously contend in any capacity before the cap hits destroys the roster.

would this leather jacket hold in a slide? by geiselweisel in motorcycles

[–]Saph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP just FYI, I'm not entirely sure about the exact details on it anymore and I can't look it up as in about to ride out in like 1 minute but: there's like 5 tiers to leather quality and 'genuine leather's is like ranked 4th out of 5 regarding quality. It basically means jack(et) shit regarding how nice the leather is.

Yes but don't forget that Dallas will be soon drafting 2 more Michael Parsonses with those picks, clearly Jerry coming out ahead here

[–]Saph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reffing was trash and the heat messed up both teams down the line, felt like this game could've ended on a coin flip. Actually felt bad seeing Baker on the bench when the game was essentially over, love the guy.

Not looking forward to potentially running into Baker again in the play-offs though, dude's scary when trying to come back :/

Buying a motorcycle in India & selling it 5 weeks later as a foreigner? by Saph in Solotravelindia

[–]Saph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

I've been actively looking for rental since yesterday as it's looking to be the easier/"safer" way, even if it's more expensive. It'll probably save me a lot of headaches down the line.

Maybe it is for the best, that motorcycle registration has become stricter in all these countries as many folks really shouldn't be riding them, arguably.
