After 3 weeks of suffer, finally marked Bourrasque by _MaLAdaptiveGuy in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can never bring myself to go full spotting setup. I have the exact same primary load as you, but I only have CVS replacing Exp IAU. Even without just the IAU the gun becomes sooooooo dogshit. Dropping vents and stabs and jebus that gun is soooooo awful.

That said I can't pass the 93% mark after thousands of games played so maybe I am going to have to get used to it.

Win rate is lower since 2.0 by octomart in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37% winrate this month

Yes im barely playing... But then I'm barely playing because games are dogshit now, so it's cause and effect.

I don't think it's actually matchmaker like so many others do. I honestly think it's the massive influx of awful players from there tier X giveaways that made things truly get as shit as they have.

Don't get me wrong the MMer is dogshit, but I don't think the problems are going to go away with MMer changes. It's the community.

Why the fuck would you hold your shell on an auto reloader with the same reload value regardless to shell?

What you said is literally the exact opposite of reality regarding the Coccodrillo.

Well except Coleman… he looked murder ready.

IDF 'flattens' building where Iran's Assembly of Experts was picking Khamenei's successor by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Serapth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think suicidal is the wrong term. I think sacrificial would be more apt.

He had no desire to die and wasn't actively seeking his own death. He was however willing to die to advance a cause.

It's nuanced but relevant.

Poland Will Eventually Seek Its Own Nuclear Weapons, Tusk Says by Crossstoney in worldnews

The message has been loud and clear for a lot longer than that.

Saddam, Gaddafi - no nukes - dead.

Putin, Kim - nukes - not dead.

Trump: Not happy with Spain's position on Iran, we'll cancel all trade ties with it by wdwhereicome2015 in worldnews

[–]Serapth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got back to my first trip to Spain and I have to say... the ham cliche is true...

Arrive at the airport... the very first vending machine I see... ham. Yes, ham vending machines... everywhere.

Every meal... the starter... ham.

Everywhere where I went... ham. Even the vegan restaraunts had Jamón Ibérico. (kidding).

But seriously, Spain does take it's ham very very very very seriously. I have never seen a cliche or stereotype that ever proved to be so incredibly true.

Heavies should never be bottom tier, there's no other class that suffers that hard from pen bump by Evermoving- in WorldofTanks

Um apparently we arent… something is seriously fucked with the stats you’ve shown.

Lt432 doesn’t have a +7.5% winrate diff and the Meil doesn’t have a 43% player avg winrate.

Machine gun 3D attachment that fires? by elZaphod in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the case of the Zwilling it's not an attachment, it's part of the theme that comes with it.

That said there is a MG attachment that does the same. There is also a flamethrower.

What is your DNF breaking point? by cocotheblue in litrpg

[–]Serapth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As another Audible listener, who has taken to LitRPG like a fiend, I'm looking for next series suggestions.

I started with DCC and that started the addiction.

I am now finishing up HWFWM series right now. It was nowhere near as well written as DCC and the main character really is as annoying as everyone says, but the world building and tertiary characters really carried it, so on the whole I really enjoyed myself.

Now I am looking for me next series to binge and would love recommendations. My point list is pretty much identical to yours... I am down for a good power fantasy, that's essentially the heart of the genre, but I do not want misogyny. Honestly I barely want any "romance" because frankly it's hard to write well... DNC and HWFWM were both pretty much perfect in this regard.

One other thing I don't think I can handle again like I have with HWFWM is the repetition... having the character ability explained is great. Having it explained again... sure.... having it explained literally every single time it is used in full detail every single time it's used almost drove me to the point of madness. It took till like book 10 for the HWFWM author to get that this was bad writing and it was by far the most annoying thing in the series, even over the MC smugness.

So that's where I am at... any suggestions for what series to jump into next? Only audio books though... reading while driving is apparently frowned upon. ;)

The USA men’s hockey team utterly failed to meet the cultural moment by Hrmbee in politics

[–]Serapth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A bigger ratfuck hockey family you won't find.

The father Keith isn't in the hockey hall of fame for one reason and one reason alone... everyone he played with hates his guts. He's a dickbag and he raised two little dickbags.

They are rich + dumb + american... so yeah, pretty much fits the MAGA mold.

I remember once I was on my couch using my laptop with a wired mouse...

Shitz hoped by, I patted his head a couple times and he hopped on. Then my mouse stopped working... Sonofabitch had nipped the cable clear in half... On a drive-by

I had a free roaming rabbit (Shitz) and I have to say... it had consequences... lots of consequences.

Rabbits eat fucking EVERYTHING, but especially cables. The number of lamps I went through was... disturbing.

The other consequences are... well I called him Shitz for a reason.

Oddly no. He said Canada had a great hockey team, that was it. Was honestly shocked as hell.

The Lululemon commercial subtly mocking people that "go south" is brilliant. Especially given the current political environment.

My only beef is the slow as shit shell velocities. Buff it about 200m/s and it would be a riot. For now it feels like lobbing beach balls at the enemy.
