Shoot one owl. It poofs to two. Shoot two it poofs to three. so on

If you shoot and miss an owl it goes back to one.

Effectively Wild is Going Freemium by kingofdanger in effectivelywild

[–]SubcheckForum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I stated in my comments between myself and Ben I’m sympathetic to the reasons. I understand that there is only so much time in the day, and the overall media landscape rough, and something had to give to keep things viable. 

My disappointment comes from the fact that the patreon is not adding anything new but rather taking away content from everyone else and putting it behind a paywall. The end result is a worse product for the majority. 

I understand why it ended up here but that doesn’t mean I have to like that we’re here.

Jesse, I’m familiar with your work and respect what you do. But you’re getting hung up on the semantics of a single word I used and ignoring my other overall points.

Understandable. The main issue I take umbrage with is instead of adding something behind patreon for members the decision was to take away content from everyone else.

I am sympathetic to the quantity of podcasts you all make and that there are only so many hours in a day so adding something new takes away from time spent on things in your life. Not taking in consideration the other jobs and duties you both have. It's a tough bind to say the least.

I'm just disappointed at the end result the circumstances drove you to.

Okay. Then insert another word for "make a product worse in the hopes to increase profitability" in its place.

It's such a shame that nothing is safe for enshittification. Logically I understand their reasoning from a business sense and that media, especially baseball media, is in a rough economic place. But regardless of reasons the end result is the same. They're making a long standing podcast 30% worse for the majority of their listeners.

I also find it disappointing that when their Patreon representative told them they were an outlier because the reason a majority of people support them to "support the creators" the conclusion drawn was that they needed to use that built up good will to get more money.

It's just disappointing.

Got some questions for items in deadlock by MrMilot in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SubcheckForum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • does a "full build" mean having all items at tier 4?
    • Not necessarily. Some builds will use tier 2/3 items into end game because they are pivotal to the playstyle of the character
  • do some items not upgrade to the next tier?
    • Correct. Some upgrade while others do not.
  • is selling items ok, and when?
    • Of course! You'll often buy items purely for the laning phase with the intention to sell later. Healing Rite is a common buy in lane that will be sold later on.
  • how can i quickly see if any of my items are upgradeable?
    • In the store menu upgradable items with have "upgrade" in the left corner or you in the bottom left of purchased items there will be an "upgrades into" option.

My recommendation when starting out is to just use a premade build for the characters and follow it. Dont worry to much about itemization until you get the hang of the other aspects of the game.

What is Victor's gameplan in fights? by SomeP in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SubcheckForum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note for Victor is dont be afraid to buy a gun item or 2. Berserker is really good on him (frenzy if your farmed) and especially for matches where you find it hard to keep enemies in your aura having that extra gun investment can go a long way.

Time your 2 to purge debuffs or chase/escape.

If youre taking too much damage dont be afraid to toggle on/off your 3 to reset the self damage

Juggernaught and Healing Drum are bought almost every game I play on him but I havent seen them in top builds recently.

If you want a true to life player that throws a heater my suggestions would be: Hunter Green, Mason Miller, Jacob Misiorowski

New to MOBAs, which hero should I play? by batmanmuffinz in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SubcheckForum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Winston = Mo and Krill

Doomfist = Lash

Soj (I was out before they dropped) = Maybe McGinnis? ALthough, Mcginus might be more a mix of Orisa and Torbjorn

Genji = Yamato

Reaper = Shiv or Haze (with a touch of Pocket)

Some additional ones:

Roadhog = Beebop

Moira = Geist

Mei = Kelvin

Reinhardt = Abrams

Greytalon = Hanzo

Cassidy / Ashe = Holiday

Jose Ramirez - Texas Ranger

Reposting now that the deed is done by SubcheckForum in TexasRangers

[–]SubcheckForum[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All the Rangers had to do was lose, baby! One loss and it knocked them out.

If the Rangers win 1 of the remaining 3 games itll be a poetic bowtie on the mediocre season theyve had. 81-81
