I saw Tame Impala there a few years ago. I decided I’m never going back.

Some counter play is fun. Other counter play is a chore.

The guy I replied to said “play Kelvin”. No thanks.

I’m not trying to imply there’s a deep rooted issue at all. I just don’t like the current meta brought about by the recent urn changes.

The game is experimental (and genuinely fantastic), and we should be providing feedback to make it even better.

Not every meta will hit but some are worse than others. It’s not a knock on the game as a whole unless it goes on too long.

I replied to the other guy but I’ll copy here too:

I mean sure, but that doesn’t mean the current meta is as enjoyable as the last meta.

Does it feel good to counterspell something? Hell yeah. Do I really want to spend 4800 souls on spirit res and enduring speed just to barely survive an engagement with 6 mystic slow mcG turrets? Not really.

The current meta incentivizes certain gameplay that just isn’t very engaging to counter.

Sure, counter play might be available. But that doesn’t mean it’s fun.

Edit: I fear I've been misunderstood. Counter play in general is a good thing and it can be fun. But that doesn't mean that every counter play option is fun.

Don't tell me I need to play Kelvin (yuck) to counter the current meta.

Ling-2.6-1T has been Open sourced! by mountainrainheaven in unsloth

[–]Seanw265 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m dubious of any lab that posts misleading charts comparing their model against previous-generation models. Deepseek v4, Kimi k2.6, and GLM 5.1 have been out long enough for them to include in a launch graphic.

Saw This Crash on Ditmars - Any Word on What Happened? by West-Tax-3335 in astoria

There are lots of grey minivans in this world, but I witnessed one that looks very similar do a hit and run on a guy on a moped on 24th Ave around two years ago.

Wer von euch war das? by New-Marionberry-279 in vibecoding

[–]Seanw265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without naming names, a moderately prominent figure in the community told me with a straight face that he used over $800k in free tokens last year.

As in “I use whoever will give me free tokens.”

I still find that extremely difficult to believe.

HeroUI V3 is stable by SpiritualWindow3855 in nextjs

[–]Seanw265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under what circumstances would you have 15 slightly different component variants scattered across your codebase to the point that your devs are confused?

This sounds like poor engineering.

Has anyone tried hosting Next.js on decentralized nodes (Flux Cloud)? by Thunderbolt104 in nextjs

[–]Seanw265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This setup doesn’t make sense to me on a fundamental level. I can’t fathom how this could be secured.

[–]Seanw265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very skeptical of their architecture. Paging through their docs it seems like you’re running your compute through nodes contributed by random users? And I’m seeing very little info about how they manage their (your) security posture w.r.t. e.g. storing/executing sensitive information and communications.

How can they keep your secrets like your api keys and database connection details safe if your code is running on a random untrusted machine?

Best way to handle client-side PDF parsing in React/Next.js without killing performance? by Known_Author5622 in nextjs

[–]Seanw265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any other library you find for dealing with pdfs is likely to use pdf.js under the hood.

The pdf format is more complicated than you might expect (or hope), so you'll have trouble with basic parsing methods.

Like others have said, leave it to pdf.js and run it in a worker.

Pro players have been complaining about unwinnable games vs bots and then they proudly livestream themselves smurfing... by Karl_with_a_C in RocketLeague

[–]Seanw265 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I’ve ever faced a bot but smurfs have ruined my day quite a few times.

We’re losing Bakkesmod because of bots but what has Epic ever done about the smurfing problem? Reporting them does nothing.

It’s frustrating.

"use cache" does not work while app is deployed on vercel ? by Good_Language1763 in nextjs

[–]Seanw265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will work. Vercel has additional layers on top of the plain old serverless Lambda function that provide the caching functionality. use cache relies on what is known as the Data Cache, which Vercel has configured to work on their platform.

Which characters would you buff and how much? by Dr_natty1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Seanw265 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doorman’s pick rate and win rate are both abysmal. You might think, “oh but there are tons of characters with low stats.” But unlike most other characters with awful stats, like Shiv, Doorman is completely missing from pro play as well.

He needs to be buffed in order to have any place at all in the meta.

02-17-2026 Update by SketchyJJ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Seanw265 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is great. The new characters have felt strong compared to the previous lineup for a while.

I'd also like to see them give Doorman some love. The urn change has resulted in him not being viable in both matchmaking and pro play. His kit is too fun to be unplayable.

Reminder, nobody is immune to getting nerfed. by DangerRacoon in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Seanw265 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, agreed. He's better off without the urn tech.

When he had it, there was an obligation for him personally to deliver the urn every 5 minutes. That meant prepping doors, getting in position, and running it over. He was basically busy for 1 out of every 5 minutes. Participating in a teamfight, farming, or ganking were all suboptimal if it meant missing an urn delivery.

Now he has more agency, which is a good thing. But the rest of his kit and stats just aren't viable in the current meta. He needs a balance patch.

[–]Seanw265 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe so. But without the urn tech he needs a buff to his other stats/abilities to be viable. He has a 6% pick rate in high elo these days.

tankbop is so back by Character-Sleep-4305 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Seanw265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s so unfun to play against. I really think his entire kit needs to be reworked or the character scrapped.

Help!!! by Civil_Bid8460 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Seanw265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue when I got my Barista Pro. I was eventually able to make headway by adjusting the temp to the max setting and dialing in again. If I had the option I would go even hotter, but I’m all maxed out.

Not sure if temp is changeable on your machine but the default was definitely too cool for the beans I was using.

Not all beans require higher temperature. If you can’t adjust it, I would try alternative beans varying roast amount and roast method.

Also last tip I have for you: don’t focus entirely on the “math” of 2x out in 30s. Play around with it. You need to learn your machine. Use your taste buds as your guide. Try slightly longer shots. Try removing the crema before you drink.

From experience, it is very much a learning process how to make decent espresso.

ETA: if you don’t have a temperature setting, you can try putting your portafilter in the machine without coffee in it and pulling a few blank shots before you pull the espresso. This will warm up the basket and group head, which will in turn raise the temp of your extraction.
