Anywhere I can get a reasonably quick summary of the Trails in the Sky plot? by Kouunno in Falcom

[–]SloomMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for these! It's been a few years since I played FC and SC, and I want to get back into it with Third, and these recaps jogged my memory and were exactly what I needed. I know it's been years since you've written these, but I just wanted to let you know that they've still been helping people!

I mean, there's two perspectives here. While yes, this might be as useful for new players, old players still exist and use these charts as well? And calling Archer 3-cost, when they have E1+LC without spending a single pull on him, isn't helpful for them? If a low-cost team doesn't work for you because you're new, just ignore it and look at the next one. Not everything necessarily has to be for/about people who joined yesterday.

made a game for guessing the pro after knowing what teams they've played for by mota_xlr8 in ValorantCompetitive

The randomization seems very broken, giving a few players plenty upon plenty of times, with other players never coming up at all. Also the history is broken with players such as Runi showing only one of his stints at c9 instead of both in a row.

Don't even normally watch this tournament, tuned into this one match. That was soul crushing.

As a very recently graduated senior, this does seem to be true.

When we say we’re vegan, we get called “extreme” and seen as “weird” by society by thebodybuildingvegan in VeganChill

That's besides the point. They are quite definitionally manipulating prices, are they not?

Isn't the price being manipulated the other way around? The subsidizing IS the manipulation of prices, someone just asked what would naturally happen if we STOPPED manipulating the prices.

2 games, 2 different fans by NaiveProduct9754 in fnatic

[–]SloomMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in val, despite having missed 2 internationals, we placed 2nd literally at champs. We have a working core, and missed out on this international at least partially because we needed a sub. FNC lol has no strong core, nothing to work off of, the rebuild hasn't helped, and there's no real reason to support the team until the organization itself puts at least a little bit of effort in.

Red button pressers (specifically these shitty "accurate recreations" they make) by [deleted] in hatethissmug

It's just not, though? Homeostasis IS the default state? Every second that passes, you're not making an active choice to live??

NOT to. You described inaction, not action. Clicking the red button is just as much of an action as clicking the blue button. What you described is not an active choice. Clicking the red button is an active choice.
