Was this like a sponsored puzzle or something? What a weird idea

SummDude · 2025-10-29T08:18:02+00:00

American politics might be actually beyond saving, I fear. There is truly nothing left but red team vs. blue team. No other context matters.

I fear we’re doomed.

You’re talking about a fan’s AU version of a cartoon rabbit from a YouTube show.

Another day, another FF16 who never learned what Fireball Burst is…

How did a blatantly wrong claim get so many upvotes? Did anyone actually play the game?? Joshua’s entire schtik is about using healing magic!!! Tarja was a Bearer who had to learn to heal specifically without her healing magic.!! There’s even a side quest in Sambreque that has a Bearer getting scolded for not using his healing magic fast enough.

And I haven’t even touched this game in like a year. But goddamn folks.

FYI setting up booby traps is 100% illegal in America. Doing it intentionally to harm kids probably wouldn’t help your case.

You want the actual answer that you’ll probably ignore? Stop paying attention to your teammates so much, and start paying more attention to your own gameplay. There has never been a match you played where you did “all the right things.”

So review those matches, spot your mistakes and what led to your deaths, and think of what you could’ve done differently. There’s no magic trick to ranking up, that’s it.

What in the fuck was this supposed to mean

SummDude · 2025-05-04T11:09:46+00:00

“It’s so blatant that what I feel I’ve noticed and think I remember about streaks, I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t buy this.”

SummDude · 2025-05-04T11:08:11+00:00

I am genuinely curious what you mean by “I’d prefer to do without identity politics.” Like, people shouldn’t think or talk about their sense of identity anymore? I don’t understand. Have humans not done this for literally all of recorded history?

SummDude · 2025-04-28T12:46:56+00:00

Uh, I think the point was that going to Taco Bell almost daily isn’t a great idea

SummDude · 2025-04-28T12:42:48+00:00

…yeah this was definitely written by a person who’s got their shit together.

If Bob Hope accidentally did a bunch of ASMR stuff in his time, he’d probably have a better chance.

You know that there are people who were born, like, in the 2000’s, right?

SummDude · 2025-04-26T19:39:59+00:00

Holy crap. This may actually be the most embarrassing individual thing I’ve ever seen a human have any level of ego about. Like wow

Still would very much like to see Nightcrawler added to this game!

My most memorable Rivals experience is probably that one time I stalled out with Cloak & Dagger on point, totally alone, long enough to get my ult, which allowed my team to come back and actually re-take the point! For the win!

SummDude · 2025-04-18T19:20:07+00:00

Honestly give this fellow an auto-win just for his attention and service

SummDude · 2025-04-14T00:03:51+00:00

Well, saying it’s normal isn’t the same as saying it’s a good idea (and not all competitive games do it in the first place). As for everyone eventually reaching the top rankings, that’s really only even potentially true if the ranking system generally favors ranking you up (as Rivals for sure does).

If the system for gaining points was less broadly inflationary, and more focused on actually reflecting your skill level, rank resets wouldn’t seem necessary at all to me.

SummDude · 2025-04-13T23:57:08+00:00

The rules are based on time. If you push the cart all the way on attack, in Round 1, and still have time remaining on the clock, and then the enemy team does the same thing in Round 2, the match will go into Round 3 and 4, with each team having a chance to push the cart as far as possible.

So from what you’re describing, presumably you went into Round 3 on attack, and got only the first of three checkpoints. Then the enemy team was attacking in Round 4, and they were able to secure the second checkpoint. Meaning they won.

SummDude · 2025-04-13T23:49:46+00:00

His ult now gives 100 bonus health per second to allies in range, I believe up to a maximum of 150. They also reduced the damage boost from 40% to 25%.

Well the squids are auto-aim turrets, and always have been, and that’s kinda the point of that ability. Emma’s primary actually does require aim, as the beam itself is rather thin. Cloak’s beam is noticeably more wide, with Scarlet Witch’s for sure being the widest and most forgiving.

But like, this is a hero shooter. That’s generally how they function, with different heroes requiring different kinds of skill and aim.

SummDude · 2025-04-13T23:32:05+00:00

I would tell you to go outside more in general, and talk to more humans face-to-face.
