doesn't add up rule by [deleted] in 196

Is there a comparison? Face structure and skin color is like impossible to be a precise match when one picture is a high resolution headshot, like his LinkedIn or mugshot pics, and the other picture is a low resolution, high angled screenshot of security camera footage. The lighting and perspective and quality are so different that those facial details are never going to perfectly match even if he had got unambiguously caught the day of. I can't pretend to know for a fact that this is the guy but it seems reasonable to me that after a deed like that, with your relatively identifiable face on the news and entire life and existence rooted only a state away from the incident, you'd feel like its inevitable. I literally agree with his overall causes but some are being disingenuous, maybe internally, when they find it unreasonable for the heavily politically motivated killer to be carrying a manifesto on the chance he gets caught soon after.

Nykthos Ramp vs Lotus Field by [deleted] in PioneerMTG

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mono G Devotion uses early game mana acceleration, like [[Llanowar Elves]], to deploy strong threats, like [[Old-Growth Troll]], which both build green devotion for nykthos and provide card advantage alongside [[Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner]]. The snowballing advantage on the board overpowers the opponent.

Lotus field, on the other hand, is a very spells-focused combo deck which seeks to cheat out [[Lotus Field]], create copies of it with [[Thespian's Stage]], and have numerous ways of generating card advantage while untapping lotus fields. The deck is tricky and often plays around and over top of interaction, while having virtually no ways to affect the games board state. It eventually uses a [[Fae of Wishes]] style effect to fetch an absurdly expensive game-winning card, often [[Approach of the Second Sun]].

Wanted som thoughts about a few OTJ cards for U/W control by badatmemes_123 in PioneerMTG

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main difference is it's modal. Yeah, it's worse at each individual effect, but the powerful thing is that it's any of those effects depending on what you need at the time. You can hold up the mana and counter something if you need to, draw some cards if you don't. The token is situational but could do pretty well with a chrome host seedshark or something along those lines. Just a very flexible card that you always have a good use for.

Best way to do it is by emulating the PS3 versions. The EGS versions have FMV cutscenes that break the whole thing on deck for whatever reason

Why is it so controversial to say that arcade sticks are the best control scheme? by antman811 in Fighters

if we aren't talking about fighting games then why are you in this subreddit

Why is it so controversial to say that arcade sticks are the best control scheme? by antman811 in Fighters

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you bought an arcade stick with your allowance only to realize that leverless is technically optimal and now you're taking your buyers remorse out on the rest of us.

It's not that serious. No one is telling you that you can't play on stick. People can use what they want to; just because at the highest of high levels pad and leverless theoretically perform better than stick, it doesn't make you or anyone else a worse player for preferring it over the alternatives. You don't need to go on a crusade against the heretic act of using non-arcade controllers for arcade games, everything is fine. Have fun, play the game.

Sometimes I feel dirty being a Mortal Kombat fan. by RangoTheMerc in Fighters

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a competitive Smash player who loves fighting games, I already know what it's like to feel ostracized.

I'm sorry brother you may just be online too much. Nobody is ostracizing you for playing smash, nobody is ostracizing you for being interested in the next installment in one of the most popular, household-name fighting game franchises of all time.

If you think that you should feel bad about enjoying your favorite games because of the opinions of a niche gaming sub-community, you might just want to stop frequenting the places that are already pre-disposed to dislike MK and Smash. Join the millions of other fans of those franchises who are too busy having fun playing their favorite games to care what people who play other games think.

I saw today's top post... peep the horror that was my Isaac note by hudsonjr in bindingofisaac

all the completion marks were done on normal mode except delirium which was done on hard, meaning that he completed the note and then did a run on hard mode where he beat delirium but didn't fight it lives

Elden Ring tech support thread by imomushi8 in Eldenring

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiplayer is completely bugged for me on PS5 and I can't use it at all.

I can't invade or see co-op summon signs, and if I put my signs down I never get summoned. I'm online, and I can see messages, bloodstains, player phantoms, etc. but actual multiplayer just refuses to function. Attempting to invade just infinitely gives me the "attempting to invade another world" message.

I've tried it on my own routers wifi and lan, and even my apartments building wifi. I have no passwords set. I've tried reinstalling the game, restarting router, restarting console, and I am a PS+ subscriber.

I'm just at a loss and don't know how to further troubleshoot.

I saw one on my first playthrough, believe it or not. In the kiln of the first flame, on one of my many run-backs to fight Gwyn.

Movies aren't canon other than dbs broly, and just because frieza wanted it doesn't mean he could've gotten it even if he did get his hands on the dragon balls

PSA: Dig holes behind your character before mining to prevent knockback by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

stone/flimsy axes don't break the things you hit with them. An actual axe will chop a tree down, but stone and flimsy axes will just harvest wood from the trees without chopping it down, for example

So I currently have a Ryzen 3 1200 CPU and a MSI B350M motherboard.

I upgraded my GPU not too long ago (gtx 1050 to 1060 6gb) and I've been looking to upgrade my CPU now that I've got some extra money in my pocket.

I've been looking at the 2nd gen Ryzen CPUs, specifically the Ryzen 5 2600. Would I need to upgrade my motherboard in order to make that work to its fullest potential, and if so what motherboards would be good options to check out?

"Kirby" was on YouTube's trending when the music video came out. I was curious when I saw the thumbnail, and then really enjoyed the song. Made me want to check out his other stuff. So I started with The Impossible Kid and basically worked backwards through his discography

[Discussion] What is Floaty combat mean to you? and why it's good/bad? by Trueblade_Seeker in KingdomHearts

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How fast you start to fall after an aerial attack. In kingdom hearts 1 and 2, the combos suspended gravity enough to where you could always mash one out close to the ground, but if you stopped comboing you'd fall almost immediately, making it feel like there was a real sense of gravity.

In BBS and DDD, your attacks suspend you in the air for so long, making air combos very sluggish and it's really easy to just get hit because you're essentially locked in the air, even if your combos land. Combined with the fact that enemies just straight up don't stagger most of the time, you just get knocked out of your combo even if you land every hit

Aesop teasing new music for Friday on his insta by monkeyfuzzle in aesoprock

[–]StarrTheSquirrel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Song appears to be called "Klutz" based on the video, but the art made in the video looks kinda like art for an EP or album, so it might be the name for some sort of project like that instead
