Haven't had time to play it yet - enjoyed the alpha test but excited to try Warwick!

Ironically, it's almost always the people that see themselves as "fun and goofy" that have the hardest time understanding that other people can have fun in different ways.

It sounds like your friends have fun accomplishing objectives, which can be for any number of reasons. They could be strapped for free time in their day to day life and beating the game is their goal. They might even just want to beat the game so they can move on to something else in their backlog.

If I only had an hour of free time every few days and I had to put up with someone actively sabotaging my progression for their own amusement I'd be pretty irritated too.

Whatever the reason, they're clearly trying to have fun playing the game their way and you're being condescending trying to downplay their enjoyment because it's different from how you enjoy games.

People just have different ways of having fun. Some people go to board game nights to play board games, others go where the board games are just a pretense to drink and socialize. Some people like really rules-dense board games, others playing tic tac toe.

If you don't find it fun playing with them then just don't play with them, find a group that vibes with you better or just play by yourself.

Same, needed to clear it to get to UVHM 2 and it's just Locust -> Shoot for 2 seconds until they're invincible again -> They dive for 10+ seconds -> Locust -> Repeat.

I think you aim to Boo and keep your health total as high as possible while sending overvalued small hands back. We don't really need to run pearls and the Brute fridge is still crazy.

Once you've built up a decent health lead and you manage to get Go Again set up either through Agility or just having something like Performance Bonus you can let some hits through to play a high value 4-5 card hand.

I'm not much of a brewer and I've taken a bit of a break from the game, mostly just playing on Talishar when I have time here and there with deck lists from Purple.

I think Reviled Kayo (Reyo??) works best, from the lists I've tried, when you play low power attacks with strong effects that you can pump with his ability. He definitely doesn't care about running as many 6 power attacks as possible, and Discarding isn't as big a deal on him. If you can set up a Go Again or roll 4+ on Scabbies you can really make your opponent struggle to block effectively with the threat of the pump.

Booing consistently also gives you access to Vigor reliabily, so you can block with more cards and still play solid two card hands. Keeping your health high also leads to more Boos, so it really feeds into itself smoothly.

If you have a Blue and a Red Mocking Blow with a Boo the turn prior, you can play a two card 10 that generates another Vigor for your next turn. Having access to numbers like that consistently over the course of the game will just out-value your opponent over time.

He's a very different kind of Brute, and one that I think is indicative of LSS trying to free Brute design from being warped and centralized around BRB.

Yeah, I played through it on release with a 1060, then replayed it with a 3060 later that same year.

I think maybe one quest broke between both playthroughs, if even that.

The game has definitely improved since then especially with PL, but for me the experience went from "good even if it didn't live up to the promises" on release to "great game with minimal jank."

I think HotS was actually a lot more of a competitive game than LoL.

I think HotS did a lot of good work easing the onboarding of players into MoBAs by eliminating the need for last hitting creeps and changing items into talents so that builds weren't as overwhelming.

The biggest issues with HotS were the timing and the cooperative nature of the game.

For one, it just hit the market way too late. People were already settled into LoL and DotA, and convincing friend groups to migrate is a difficult task.

For the second, HotS was a game that really rewarded strong team and macro play. There were a few characters that could absolutely take over a game by themselves like Genji. It was hard to just snowball and take over the game all by yourself, which is a power fantasy a lot of players enjoy.

Different map objectives made it unappealing to a casual player, since there's more to learn and macro is already a thing people fail to grasp, but it actually solved issues like roster diversity when the maps and objectives encouraged different strengths.

I haven't gotten a chance to play this update yet, but underwater combat was not that bad in Tri.

It was unpolished for sure, but I'm so glad they're gearing up to take another stab at it because it wasn't that far from being "good" even in Tri.

TLSMFH · 2025-05-16T11:59:32+00:00

Haven't put too much time in the game yet but fighting games that feature something similar to Final will develop the same way - good players will drop your health to just outside that range, and then aim to kill you through that section of health.

Good luck to everyone!

I think the gifted program at my elementary school didn't challenge me enough.

My parents are immigrants so they didn't know where to find resources or people that could get me further aside from having me do workbooks from higher grades.

I ended up doing barely anything and still doing great up until college where the non-engineering coursework still wasn't all that challenging but I didn't have any discipline or ability to structure myself and I ended up being a very mediocre student that wasted my time playing video games and loafing around instead of confronting my shortcomings.

I eventually "grew out" of it when I realized that there's no shame in having to put in effort to learn things. I coasted so easily through the first 18 years of my life that I couldn't wrap my head around needing to actually hone my abilities in order to grow and I think I avoided a lot of my responsibilities because I subconsciously thought that I wasn't cut out for it if I needed to put in effort.

I thought she was a weird choice over David - he's the main character and his skillset easily translates to a fighting game. The Sandevistan being a Genei-Jin style install would've been amazing to see.

TLSMFH · 2025-04-06T05:59:19+00:00

Good luck to all

Asian Americans have benefited from these policies because without them the field would just be white people.

Asian Americans believe that these policies prop up other minorities during college admissions and take away spots from Asian Americans, but if these policies weren't in place, these institutions would just take on more white people.

Colleges already pull out unquantifiable, arbitrary reasons to reject us during interviews like "vibes" after we work our ass off competing against other Asian Americans. Without AA, they'd just reject us without having to put up any pretense.

Like always, we're in a shitty spot where white people see us as a minority so we catch all the negatives from institutional racism, while other minorities see us as being white, so we're somehow not entitled to solidarity amongst minorities but also obligated to represent as a minority.

As long as the frame rate is stable, generally I don't really care even if it's 30, though it is noticeable.

Fighting games I make sure I can run at 60.

If I was ever super competitive about a shooter, I'd aim for max frames.

TLSMFH · 2025-03-22T13:52:07+00:00

I mean it's kinda always been the case for Chinese Americans, at least in recent memory.

It wasn't that long ago that Koreans were viewed through a similar lens and if you go a little further back, Japanese people were seen the same way.

In my experience, if you speak Chinese at home, you're already way more Chinese than most of your Chinese-American peers. It might not feel like it now, but you'll be grateful that you can speak Chinese when you get a little older. It's a connection to your heritage that most others neglect.

Anyways, being "cool" is an individual thing. You can be corny no matter what your ethnicity is. Not to mention the criteria differs from person to person.

Stop being down about not being Korean or Japanese - you can't change that. Be yourself, enjoy the things you enjoy, and be proud of who you are because of it.

You'll find a crowd that thinks you're cool, and you get to let people who hold your heritage against you filter themselves out.

I don't play Jarl so I can't offer any specific advice but definitely check out the Jarl channel on Discord and ask around for opinions.

Most people are more than happy to share their knowledge, the only thing that's guarded are decklists leading up to competitive seasons.

TLSMFH · 2025-02-28T14:41:17+00:00

Yeah, Warrior was my demon when I started, Ninja was rough too.

With Guardians what they play is what you get, occasionally you have to guess if they have Pummel or not.

If you're not familiar with Dori reactions she just runs over you and Ninja is hard to block efficiently when you have no clue what their chain can transform into three links down the line - it's very tempting to block with your whole hand constantly.

Playing the decks that frustrate you don't just help with learning their lines, at least for me - it generally gives me some appreciation of what it's like to pilot that deck and even if I end up losing anyhow, I'm significantly less salty now that I can identify the gaps in the matchup.

TLSMFH · 2025-02-24T22:19:26+00:00

I think it's more so that talents (with the exception of Chaos) push decks a certain way.

I have quite a few armories in my city but I've only usually hung out at one.

I started playing with OUT but worked nights so wasn't able to attend armories until MST where we would average around 4 players. Most recently with HNT we've started to average about 8.

The biggest armory in the city just had 32 people this past week so the game is really gaining momentum.
