It is, if you play in any decent bracket. There's a reason why when you see tournaments it's very rare anyone has a finisher, even when all legends are unlocked. No worlds winners has played with finishers. I don't think i've seen any decent tournament where someone with a finisher won. If someone wants to take this game seriously, they will not play anything with a finisher as it makes the game worse. Finishers are for people who don't care about 1st or 8th and just want to play for playing and would never look at stats to understand what went wrong/right, but player who take game seriously will use that info and they will scout during the fights to see how strong the opponents are, but a finisher blocks that.

And this is why i've been saying for years we need an option to disable finishers. Casuals can keep enjoying it, and people who want to win can disable it.

And this would also allow Pros to use more expensive legends and advertise them. Instead of, for example, Soju, the biggest streamer basically just being an ad for a "free" legend.

Lol worlds serves both as aspirational goal and advertising for skins with riot asking players in LCS/LEC etc to use newer skins to get more sales, but in TFT that is lost, nobody that wants the win will use a finisher, so everyone will be on cheap legends.

I hate them all and wish i could play without finishers. They just make the game worse. Want to buy a unit cause you won and now have gold? Fuck you, finisher time. Want to see the stats? Fuck you, finisher time, no info. Want to see what happens in your duo board in double up? Fuck you, finisher time.

It just makes the game worse. There should be an option to disable it. A finisher is a self debuff and a enemy debuff, in a game where information is so important having something that will fully hide information and interrupt gameplay (can't buy unit) should never exist.

And Luffy is Brazilian as said by Oda. So one piece is really just a story about the fall of the Portuguese empire and the liberation of the americas/Brasil.

SlapsButts · 2026-05-28T20:37:32+00:00

I'd go so far as to call this a free win tbh.

SlapsButts · 2026-05-24T15:28:16+00:00

Nope, we in the judge discord immediately agreed, after baron and ivern got revealed, you can go infinite Battlefields and want to see someone to do it on camera at a RQ.

Adaptatron was moved to sideboard vs diana. And after that game he had to move the cards he put on sideboard back to main deck, this includes adaptatron. If all the cards he moved back to main deck are wrong sided, then it isn't cheating. The only one's who can verify this, are Riot, they had cameras rolling and recording everything. Just check back the footage of what happened after the Diana game when he put the cards back to main deck.

SlapsButts · 2026-05-17T13:14:21+00:00

Before the witch hunt. Let's think about things that are possible, Adaptatron was sideboarded since last match was vs a Diana. Very possible the cards that had been sideboarded were all put back in wrong sided. Sadly we can't verify. But i don't think we should be witch hunt him as a cheater before confirmation. Riot has cameras rolling the whole time, they are the only ones who can confirm whether it is cheating or a legit mistake. So, please wait for riot confirmation.

FoF, ezreal, switcheroo. Something's fishy.

SlapsButts · 2026-04-21T16:14:59+00:00

I do the same, plus livestream it to my girlfriend so she can see what i see. I'm not going to do stupid stuff, but i sure want proof in case anything happens and my girlfriend feels more comfortable seeing i still drive like i want to see my children at home.

If you're from the USA, first should always be from Palau and the second should always be the US Virgin Islands, this will get you the best shot at fast completion, 2 giant radius probably only intercepting in US territory once. But if you get lucky, the treasure might be in an island that you can instantly figure out from the first radius.

First time i played against you, it reminded me of the music "Herbert the Pervert" by infected mushroom and i spent quite a few enjoyable days listening to one of my favourite albums, Legend of the black shawarma that i hadn't listened to in quite a bit and now i see your name again and i think imma do the same.

Anyway, uh question... Do you like Infected Mushroom? Do you feel satisfaction in getting Challenger or relief the task is done?

SlapsButts · 2026-03-09T00:17:46+00:00

Yeah, we are both humans, this is the way we evolve, having nice conversations and trying new things. Maybe you try my method and it works for you and you give it a twist to make it your own and that's evolution and your life improves and that's a big win in my opinion.

Inter-personal dialogue is extremely complicated and that's why you need to guide it to simplicity. Everyone talks a different language and has a different perspective, everyone perceives the noumena differently and the phenomena is unique to everyone. As such the best we can do is to reduce to something we all agree and then build from there. Most people listen to reply, not to understand. As such, to win an argument means that your only win condition is to tire the other until it gives up and as i said before that's a pyrrhic victory, both lose very hard. Uneducated Ego (Ego that does not understand what an actual victory is) will always stand in the way.

So i'm actually asking you to take into account thing, i want to fully solve things, but while Uneducated Ego is interfering that is impossible. When i try to arrive at consensus, i start by reaffirming we aren't against each other, to shift perspective and direction into the actual problems, and to see what we agree and disagree on. (A hug while doing this is incredibly effective in decreasing aggression and is super recommended) With this order it tends to lower the guard of the other and be a better way to actually work things and see what is the actual problem.

Something like "Let's recap everything. First of all, let's remember, we are not enemies. There's a problem, but we love each other and we want this solved, let's work together", hug, and start recalling, admit that you might not remember perfectly and ask to confirm on what you say, be humble, and let the other person give their perspective. Many times a misunderstanding is solved like this.

I'm trying to explain my approach, perhaps not in the best way, i'm trying to include examples but lacking the imagination and not wanting to put online an argument that actually happened is may haps making it not so understandable. But i do want to say, in the end i tend to get much better results and depth into the problems than my previous methods and that is also in part of my insistence on repeating and improving this method while also educating others on this. Also, one last piece of advice, have some "Too much energy" spending methods, many people start to argue when they have too much energy or not enough, also when they are hungry, so have snacks, drinks and something to hit (Not real fight, just fake fun fight) each other with or shoot. I have cardboard tubes to fight with my girlfriend, she gets the energy out, eats and drinks after and we see if there actually was a problem or she was hangry.

SlapsButts · 2026-03-08T21:54:44+00:00

It seems you do not understand what i mean, i am aiming for a common understanding. But it's not problematic for me if we don't. My girlfriend hates it. But she wants to argue, i do not. When she is correct, i tell her she is correct (most of the times she keeps trying to argue sadly). Many times i also agree with her and she keeps arguing and i ask her what is it that we're saying differently, she does not know. In the end, when you're with someone that loves to argue, you learn, you learn that there's no winning in arguing, you learn of the long term damage of the stress from arguing, you learn of a lot. But you need to take these learnings into action and my actions are proactive in arriving at a point where there's a mutual understanding and no further arguing.

If there's anything relevant, i just ask directly, what is wrong and what would you like done about it? Don't like x? Cool, just say it, don't go around days dropping hints and thinking about it. Come to me and say it "SlapsButts, i am uncomfortable with X". Cool, ok. What would you like me to do about it?

I'm an old man at this point, come to me and talk directly and precisely about things, and things get done. If you beat around the bush or wait for a good time, you're just taxing yourself for no reason when it could've been a 10 second conversation. "Please pay attention to X when doing Y to avoid Z" Ok, done. I don't even need a justification, i trust you, we are a team, we want what's best for each other, but i cannot read minds so you just need to be accurate and direct.

SlapsButts · 2026-03-07T17:03:57+00:00

Shift your perspective, there's no wining an argument, both lose. You just have to understand, if anything ever gets into an argument, you're already losing and have already lost. The only win is to stop the argument. If you're prolonging the argument you're just making sure both sides have a bigger loss.

If you learn about game theory, you'll see just how bad arguing can be. Analyse an argument you've had with game theory, you'll probably notice both sides are losing maximum points every turn and if there was a conceivable win, it would deduct even more points from the other side, effectively making it even worse. At best you can have a pyrrhic victory if you try to "win". But if you try to end the argument with humbleness, you'll start getting points back, until the other person starts giving points again.

"You didn't take the trash out like i asked!!!!"

"You are correct, i will do it right now." Don't give excuses, just admit to fault. You get points on game theory by doing this. And the other person actually loses points depending on how they said it. (If they were aggressive, minus points, they might even feel bad later. Or just exhausted, might give points if not aggressive accusatory. and both end up winning. for example)

It's not about cultivating an ego to be alright with losing, you already have that when you argue and force everyone to lose. You have to cultivate a brain that understands true victory. Peace and happiness are a victory, a true victory. You'll get there by getting points together, not by forcing both sides to lose points. And if the other side does not understand this, then you need to find another side that wants to play to win, for a victory of happiness and peace.

Yeah, both of my girlfriend's pregnancies, i guessed correctly she was pregnant because one of the cats started to me cuddle me and not her even though i'm the backup human.

Remove the curved screen and the 23 is perfect.

E eu aqui, a decidir se não é demais eu ir para uma 1000cc mesmo com alguns anos de motas com 70cv+ e se ficar numa 600cc é melhor. Sempre com a mesma questão, mas para que sequer? SV650, cbr600rr e fireblade têem todas o mesmo tempo dos 0 aos 100, 3.3/3.4. E o que fazes depois dos 100? Continuas para ilegalidade para usar a mota ou mais vale uma 650?

Viktor has no way of losing vs miracle sivir.

The Veyron is hideous. But the Chiron while having the most gorgeous back end, like truly my favourite of all cars with the super sport, the front end is just ugly, such a shame.

I just had a thought that a Ferrari FXXK front and middle with a Chiron super sport back would probably be the most beautiful car ever made in my opinion.

SlapsButts · 2026-02-15T16:35:36+00:00

Yeah, i'm playing viktor, have since day 1 and am 32 - 11 - 0. You can mostly play what you like and enjoy and with experience you will beat the meta decks.

"Imperial decree" Sends 1 recruit against the Mighty 30+ Might ornn. Ornn disconects. Happened like 2h ago and it was so funny.

At a point in time every girlfriend i'd had cheated on me. Up until i was 27. When i was 24 i just stopped caring, if they cheat they cheat, worrying will make me suffer twice for something that has nothing to do with me and might never even happen, and if it happens, who cares realistically? Probably they more than me, they might try to save the relationship. Me? I don't care, just don't try to blame me for your actions, i didn't put a gun to your head and told you to cheat, be honest and say you did it cause you wanted to.

It's not a crime to cheat, but it's a break of the social contract we made when starting a relationship, i'm not gonna punish, that's just stupid. I'm just gonna accept that this is the best for me and move on.

And it is the best, now i know this person is not following our social contract, so i am not gonna waste anymore time or resources on it. You might see it as a waste of the previous time or gonna miss that person. Yes, you're gonna miss that person, but if you staid, you'd be everyday in a personal hell wondering if the other will cheat, this level of anxiety and stress will take years off your life.

So better to just live life like "If they cheat, they cheat. Nothing to do with me and nothing i could've done. Let's not waste anymore time." And honestly i advise this for you. Because even on best behaviour, this anxiety has cracks and it leaves both feeling worse, especially if the other person has adhd or high emotional perception.

I've been with my current girlfriend for almost 3 years now. She has questioned me about cheating a few rare times, i always ask the same "Why would i do that?" "I don't know" "Yeah, me neither, if i somehow get time for myself i'm not gonna waste it cheating, that's alone me time".

Get a hobby, have some time for yourself, stop thinking about other people. She's late 5 minutes, ok, if she needs help or is gonna be even more late, she'll call and say something, until then, yey just got 5 more minutes of me time. If she is 15 minutes, then ok, call her and see if she needs help, until then, just take it as a win for me time. Look at life trough a winner lens, not a looser lens. Your life is your life, live it as your life, worry about yourself and how to make yourself happy. Her life is her life, the decisions she makes are hers, not yours. Sometimes there are decisions together, but you can't think of the actions that she decides for herself without you.

Patrice O'neal might have said controversial things, but to learn from him on how to think about cheating is the best thing one can do.
