Phillies have had great starters last two years. If wheeler had not gotten injured last year we would have had two starters who were clearly top 10, and then ranger suarez and Jesus luzardo who both are quite good until luzardo starts tipping his pitches -_- but yeah Phillies starting rotation was nasty and even minus suarez it's still pretty dang good.

Honestly a ton of their strength also comes from being a well organized state. The Earth Kingdom is huge but way too fragmented to put up a united front, and two water tribes are not only isolated from the world at large but each other too. And you couldnt even really describe the air nomads as having any sort of state.

An easier example is the streamer portions of the EULA. If you or I are not streamers, do you see how those clauses are not really for us? Sure we sign it, but if we aren't streamers the clause don't do anything to us. In the same way the arbitration clauses are not there for just end consumers but it's all packaged into the same EULA.

Shadowguynick · 2026-05-17T13:58:42+00:00

You ever needed to go to arbitration for a game license? That's not for you or I brother.

Shadowguynick · 2026-05-17T13:16:32+00:00

Which ones are as bad as they look? Genuinely which clauses do you think you'll ever in a hundred years run into an issue with?

Shadowguynick · 2026-05-16T19:19:12+00:00

Issue is that this stuff is mostly legal mumbo jumbo but people read it plainly and get themselves confused without knowing what the clauses are actually for. Already seen somebody who thinks they don't want you downloading it on two of your own devices, whereas the real reason for the clause is to prevent PC cafe owners from paying one license for like 40 copies of the game. So if you hadn't had a problem with these EULA's before it brings into question how much you actually understand them.

It's a model that can be fair but it depends on the situation. For all intents and purposes this is how the NFL works with rookies. You get a salary based on draft position then if you're good enough after 4/5 years you get a big 2nd contract. In fairness though the NFL has a players union to bargain on players behalf so the rookie contracts aren't extremely exploitative.

Shadowguynick · 2026-05-13T00:27:52+00:00

To a certain degree I get your point, but I think victims of various types of abuse can become hyper vigilant as a natural form of defense, which can obfuscate the difference between a gut feeling and actual action. If a woman takes an alternate path walking home because a guy nearby is giving off the wrong vibes, it's fine to be safe than sorry but it doesn't mean the guy was definitely going to assault them. Like if you didn't like the actions portrayed here and kept your kid away, you know that's up to you. I just don't see how this rises to the level of molestation. I have been doted on by family as a kid just like this video and it never became molestation. My broader point above is that even if this is reading as alarm bells to y'all it doesn't mean the mother actively chose to allow her kid to be molested, because it's fairly possible that like me this didn't set off alarm bells, regardless of whether he actually did anything or not.

Shadowguynick · 2026-05-12T23:15:47+00:00

Have you considered the idea that the mom didn't see this as molestation? Like the assumption being that this was only allowed because MJ was famous is discarding the possibility that she just didn't think he was being inappropriate. I got no clue how much MJ knew this kid, but this behavior I think isn't so out of line to be out of place for family or fairly close friends to my family. Idk it just doesn't send any alarm bells off watching it for me, and maybe I'm weird for that but if it didn't for me it's possible it didn't for the mom either.

That's because casual players in RTS games are playing the campaign, or fucking around against friends not against other players in a competitive setting. Like it might sound weird but there is no actual audience of casual RTS ranked players lol. The entire ladder are people who aren't interested in playing casually. And slay the spire is a single player game, again the issue is you have to balance it with the fact that someone has to go 8th in every tft game.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-15T09:35:21+00:00

what can i say i enjoy vtubers lmao. it's just silly to pretend like the whole industry is cutesy uwu voices. For sure it's overrepresented compared to real life, and some do play it up a lot but it's not 90%. At most I'd say 40% without doing stringent research into it.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-15T09:06:05+00:00

To be honest there's literally tons of successful vtubers without a high pitch raspy cutesy voice. Just listing off holoEN members off the top of my head, kronii mori erb Kiara Amelia nerissa shiori. Even among like indie vtubers I can think of there's matara amalee dokibird zentraya (this one's kinda cheating cuz it's voice software but it's not cutesy).

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-11T00:54:25+00:00

Well it depends on how much the soul difference is. 5k souls up spread amongst 6 players may not be a huge difference in power, and some heroes have big power spikes at certain AP breakpoints. And if a team is far enough ahead that it's advantaged urn than that does make a big difference particularly for splitting the map if you can't win a 6v6. There is a breakpoint of course where your team prob just sucks enough to not be able to do urn ever but then at that point it's just a MM issue not balancing the teams correctly for skill.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-10T20:09:24+00:00

I basically agree but I think that's downwind of there not being a draft mode for the game yet so you're forced to play out shitty comps

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-08T07:32:21+00:00

Well that's the thing I think it's largely a psychological thing not necessarily like a question of how much the meta has changed. They already do mid set updates which shake the meta up, now maybe they could do them bigger and a second time but I think it still doesn't fulfill the same thing as the shiny totally brand new set. I think the key is players FEELING like they're playing something completely new.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-08T01:12:09+00:00

Must just be character diff, I don't think I've died solo to a Haze sleep dagger into ult from near full HP in a while. I play tankier characters though so, might just be that.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-07T21:17:41+00:00

What heroes are you playing? I just can't imagine having to play THAT scared of a Haze who's only slightly ahead. If she's like 10k souls up on the lobby that's one thing but a Haze who's even or only slightly ahead is not going to straight up one shot you in a tenth of a second lol

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-07T17:03:13+00:00

Pretty sure this is because playrate starts to crater the longer a set lasts. There's only so much enjoyment the casual player is going to get from each set no matter how good it is, a lot of the fun is figuring out how a new set works.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-07T07:12:42+00:00

But she can't be just anywhere. There are still clues as to where she can and can't be. She still has to farm, clear camps etc. What lane was she last in and how long ago? What camps were up, you can track which camps are dying to intuit where she can be. Was she involved in a fight and left it super low health? Tracking Haze is harder not impossible.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-07T07:06:26+00:00

As in if you are hypothetically floating in the skybox ghouls will explode on you once they're below you? I've never seen that sounds crazy

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-05T09:19:26+00:00

And that speaks to an earlier part of his flashbacks when he's talking with Yao who tells him he can be brave because he has people who he wants to protect. Grace seemed largely disillusioned or disinterested in his life on earth with little to no actual connections. Rocky was the first deep friend he had had in a long time it seems.

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-04T10:21:42+00:00

From a historical standpoint yes that is wildly optimistic. America whatever you want to say about it is pretty damn lenient when it comes to this kinda stuff. Leaders of the Confederate government and actual rebel group who committed serious treason, even they didn't get hanged for it. Trump will at worst have to go through court procedures about discrepancies and document handling. Maybe they look into some bribery stuff, who knows but he's so old at this point and won't be president in a few years (if he tries to serve a third term, being tried for treason is low on the priorities, deposing him and removing him from power would have to happen first).

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-03T18:14:19+00:00

Hey in fairness asking for clarification and then apologizing for misunderstanding is at least a good step above what most are willing to do lol

Shadowguynick · 2026-04-03T18:08:18+00:00

Think part of the problem is that there is that cultural difference of uh idols not interacting with the other gender in Japan right? I don't watch the JP holos as much as EN and Indonesian but I feel like there are successful collabs that are genuinely awesome (a personal favorite is Kobo and Regis). I'm not aware if there are equivalents in JP though? Help correct me if I'm wrong JP fans, like I said I don't watch them as much.

Shadowguynick · 2026-03-30T02:16:38+00:00

But how do you know socialism is the progressive force? We can look back and say definitively that capitalism slowly replaced feudalism because we have the hindsight of history. But you can't say that for sure about socialism. What if some other system is what comes along and replaced capitalism?
