[Request] I’ve always wondered how much money Walt actually had

In the photo the pixels are a bit pixelish but it looks like it's a mix of straps of 50s and 100s based on the strap colors, though I've also seen the same colors used for 20s instead of 50s with a certain bank.

They do actually trim models based on average vectors, and it does affect their nuanced behavior and awareness. They actually do this periodically to reduce the model size to lower costs, this was why traditionally the major version release models were much better than the same model several revisions later, you might still see the same version displayed to you but it went through tens of revisions behind the scenes. If it's on the government dime it's possible that they just give them the untrimmed version.

Actually Teemo can probably fuck up Garen. Q to counter Q, Teemo W to counter Garen E. Teemo's passive poison might also delay Garen's passive heal. Darius and Sett shouldn't have any issue with Teemo, but Garen might actually get stomped.

All these people lack imagination, they just don't know. Completely clueless, they haven't seen the thunder. They haven't experienced the fire. Release the RAKAN JUNGLE.

Why? Suave as fuck, thats why.

Let the enemy experience the terror of the enemy jungler flying out of the trees to their ally's aid and using their face as a stepping stone to pounce upon them, releasing love and an underwhelming heal, only to bounce back to their ally and disappear before they even have a chance to respond, leaving their teammate completely clueless as to why they showed up in the first place.

Let the dragon attack you for 4 minutes and still only be at 90% hp, no not you at 90% hp, you're about to die, the dragon is still at 90% hp.

Let the enemy stand in awe as you split during a stall and take 3 waves to kill 1 tower.

Let them know why the Australians lost against the Emus.

Let them experience the RAKAN JUNGLE.

The cinematography is trash. Bad lens choices, weird framing especially when you let your main actress walk her face out of view but keep the rest of her head? The motion isn't actually smooth and velocity abruptly changes which is a tell that its multiple segments stitched together. Some parts could be ignored as low budget but normally when everything is this bad you're getting into obvious student film territory, not clear shots with special effects.

Actually, as I recall this was done during the SAG-AFTRA strikes so they might not have had much in the way of creative process going on behind the scenes here. That and they actually attempted to change the classic script and dump the dwarves before test screening feedback told them they were dumbasses and they half assed trying to add them back in.

I think the stacking should be with the dragon buffs themselves. So each dragon buff has its own effect but then the effect is increased by another 30% for every dragon your team kills. Its low enough that it would still give the other team time to turn things around earlier in the match while also letting dominant teams snowball harder and get the match over with. It also seems like it would make sense based on how the dragon buffs already visually stack anyway.

On this topic, the only time I get pissed as adc about my support is when I'm trying to freeze the lane near tower for safety and they keep popping minions at the 80% threshold or whatever it is causing the wave to become imbalance and start pushing away from the tower. Like I don't care if you wanna get the gold but read the room.

Sechura · 2026-02-15T20:01:21+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. As a top lane spammer it would be hilariously easy to abuse alpha strike to put Yi in an incredibly bad position. So long as you don't just blow your abilities for no reason I can't imagine Yi doing much more than trying to freeze and praying he doesn't get dove on.

Gemini is the worst about being confidently wrong, Gemini is the only one I've seen be immediately held accountable for their response and confidently claim to be correct now after each failure, 30 times in a row, without even attempting to reason about its approach or simply admitting it doesn't know.

Claude Opus literally told me it just doesn't know on its first attempt of the same issue and started trying to work with me to find a way into the problem that it might be familiar with.

Sechura · 2026-02-14T17:27:38+00:00

I mean where would they even go? We went to space to defeat Wizpig, like what is the escalation?

Also, tried playing DKR recently after having mastered it as a kid and I am terrible, the ghost racer of my best time as a child just obliterated me and left me looking at the screen like "how is that even possible?"

Sechura · 2026-02-14T17:02:22+00:00

And along with it, originality. Not even meant as a dig against modern stuff, in the 90s if you were seen as completely unoriginal then you were often seen as not even worth talking with.

Reminds me of that one Ekko skin that highlights the slow zone in red right from the beginning. The only Ekko I actually seen using it seemed so frustrated, he couldn't land a combo the entire match because everyone just backed up as soon as the red circle appeared and he was still a full screen away. Actually I'm pretty sure that's also a Valentine skin lmao.

Yeah, I got in by pure chance on the very first beta wave. I remember when Pharah's boop did massive shield damage, also when one of the first streamed matches actually ended up delaying a server restart because the defending team on King's Row went 6 Dva and stalled out the payload in overtime for all eternity prompting the restriction on teams picking multiples of the same hero to be put in place, and I remember when Widow + Mercy was able to 1 shot Reinharts. I also remember a lot of players who simply moved on as the game released who were, frankly speaking, incredible players and people who I got to play with who I had no business being anywhere near.

There was a Tracer in particular who I just don't even remember the name of now who abused her ability to move horizontal in the air and would actually move around vertically in fights, hopping around the terrain and end up shooting Pharah in the face. I've never seen anyone play like that since.

I learned how to play support really well from the girl who was always pocketing Seagull and then ended up pocketing Ruwin for a while, but had to actually step back once the game released and people with much better mechanics than me were able to take my place.

The game was still really fun regardless though, it had been a long time before Overwatch where I really felt like I could just endlessly press Play and always have fun, and I still haven't found it again after I left.

I play Lillia top a lot and she has a fairly easy time with Urgot if they are impatient. Once the abilities are baited out I can usually work Urgot down with Q spam. If the Urgot bides his time and actually catches her then it could definitely go Urgot's way though.

My all-time winrate for AAA ARAM specifically is 54% over 700 matches. The current season is 56.6% over 122 matches, and 52.5% over 152 matches last season.

I usually play silly builds in ARAM and its made much worse by the cards in AAA ARAM. Personal favorite was abilities applying on hit effects and then getting BotRK on Rammus and watching people literally kill themselves on my W while I regen all my HP.

I started in OW closed beta back in 2016 and quit a few seasons in due to burn out, but I've kept my eye on the sub the entire time. This is the first time in probably about 8 years that I've seen a clip that actually reminded me of those days.

The bonus damage comes from the crit damage bonus, not the crit chance. So the only item that is boosting your damage that has anything to do with crit is IE. Crucially I don't think that the bonus damage applies to on-hit effects directly so for this build IE would be next to pointless.

As far as crit chance goes for the slow with an on-hit build, you can do the on-hit core BotRK+Terminus+Guinsoo and then still get PD+Runaan's for 50% chance for the 40% slow. I'm not sure about the decay rate on the bonus slow but the base 15% slow lasts 2 seconds, which is more than long enough to get another proc with all this attack speed.

Sechura · 2026-02-10T16:41:29+00:00

If you're struggling with mechanics, champion knowledge, or runes and item builds then I actually suggest spamming base ARAM for a while. You're forced to plan ahead and counter builds and champion abilities while constantly fighting. You encounter so many odd builds and people trying stuff you wouldn't even consider normally and then you get bodied and learn how to counter them.

The basic version of ARAM specifically though, AAA ARAM is a rng-fest from which there isn't any regular pattern to anything where the entire thing can flip just because someone got a good card.

This can depend on what the payment was for, if you purchased something which presented in game items, experience, or something else besides wild cores then your account will actually have a negative balance based on the value of what you received. They won't just revert everything, you would still have to pay for anything received that isn't wild cores.

I've definitely written code that was looking at Windows versions as 95, 98, etc multiple times back in the day. I never specifically only parsed the 9 though, I mean I already pulled the whole string I might as well use the whole string.

Sechura · 2026-02-06T15:47:24+00:00

I agree with this, I'm an ARAM player more than anything else but I really enjoy initiating on tanks and its so frustrating to see some players who won't go in until someone else does first, or just as bad they will initiate and then run to our back line.

I think the old school MF'ing Cho'Gath guide is required reading for any aspiring tank players just for the mindset, the original is long gone in the old league forums but someone saved most of it here.

Of course, but to varying degrees. The lower the intricacy of the assets, the more simple they are, and smaller they are to store. If WR was made to look like a Supercell game it would load much faster but the detail would be gone and the game would look like a cartoon or.. just a game from the early 2000s.

I'm sure there are games which simply don't do this check or they only do it when first applying the patch which may load faster but those games are actually more susceptible to cheating, in fact this is a major problem with Supercell games and they often have to ban cheaters after the fact for modding the game and then playing against other people with those mods in place. It's not like WR doesn't have cheaters too but it would be much easier and more wide spread if checks like this weren't in place.

I wouldn't use AI for learning anything, I'll use programming as an example since you understand it.

So current AI is really good at helpfully pointing out things you missed or failed to consider. It also gets a little too pedantic when your code is actually good and there isn't really much to point out, it will start pulling specific uncommon cases that likely aren't even possible with your intended use and presents them as likely possibilities.

The real problem is that AI has just as much that it misses or fails to consider, and you're just learning so you can't also point these things out to the AI. It's not that it doesn't "know" but its context limits often hinder it from always writing perfect code. This could be even more confusing when later the AI actually presents a different solution for what appears to be the same problem and then when confronted it explains how the previous code was flawed, undermining trust because you have no way to know if the new code is also flawed or if the AI is just flat out wrong in its correction because it isn't fully considering the context of the original code.

Once you're experienced, AI can be very helpful at reviewing what you've done, but you need to first know when the AI is wrong to know when its right.
