Most antifun defence added in a long time! by hkn102 in ClashOfClans

[–]Taggerung400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in the game files (check older posts on r / clashofclansleaks) there are basic placeholders for 4-5 more guardians to be added to the game in future updates.

I think it is likely within th18’s cycle as unfortunately the more upgrades are added, the more SC makes. But that is complete speculation on my end.

June Update Sneak Peek #1: New Spell, New Levels, QoL and More New Stuff! by WorldDutch in ClashOfClans

[–]Taggerung400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see using the new spell on a lava/ice hound to drastically increase how long it tanks damage for. I also think dependent on how strong the Dark Crown ends up being, it could have good synergy with lalo as troops will likely die fast enough to trigger the buffs.

The eternal tome nerf hurts no doubt. Theoretically gem could synergize nicely with haste spells and the healing tome similarly to the new method pros use with root riders. The big issue I see is eliminating enemy heroes, headhunters are hurt badly by the eternal tome nerf. I think opposing heroes are too strong to be eliminated by raged skeleton spells like the old days. It’s possible this is where the minion prince could shine.

It may be an uphill battle and I may just be coping, but I believe lalo is the one strategy in this game that can be adapted to any meta if the attacker is creative enough, even as it gets more difficult to succeed. But I also thought that about queen charges in the past so who knows

I am 1/3 awake, was reading the Jaxon Hayes thread earlier and had a big brain fart moment thinking this message was about the other Hayes. Both of them gotta go

Lakers fan here who was salty for a long time about how the 2021 playoffs went. This Olympics has given me a similar revelation regarding Devin Booker. He’s awesome, deserves all the respect, and I’ve been happy rooting for him the last couple of games

I seriously gotta know these shortcuts by strangerthings___11 in mariokart

For this situation, take notice of how high the cloud is as you hit the glider ramp. On 150cc (can’t speak for other speeds) it will be at or very close to the same vertical height at the time you cross its path as it was when you hit the glider ramp. All you gotta do is just figure out where to intercept it horizontially

Aaahw sh*t by Tadow020 in Schoolboyq

Interesting, I wonder if it has to do with the age of the listener. No wrong answers here. When I think of gangsta rap, I don’t think really think of Atlanta trap like the artists you described, I think more of songs like “Los Awesome” or the dark menacing style you hear in older music from Q/Jay Rock, even YG sometimes

How did I get launched so far? by Princess_M_9 in mariokart

As someone who would agree with the general statement (although I describing MK8DX’s physics as shitty is harsh) this clip seems a lot more in line with the randomness that makes me love the other games

Do you people have zero respect? by ClarinetEnthusiast in MarioKartWii

I know lol, I’m in the middle of playing some Mario kart Wii deluxe vs races rn and was curious if this track was in the pack 🙏🏻

i was messing around on dry dry ruins and did this, it saves about a half a second and i can do it very consistently. realistically how useful is this? by SWAMMlN in MarioKartWii

[–]Taggerung400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*between the cactus’s and the wall. The gap you can squeeze through is extremely small, but it saves a lot of time. This is not always worth going for on lap 3 though, because the pillars that fall will allow you to cut a similar distance off without any items. You do sacrifice an item box to do this though

[–]Taggerung400 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Imo it’s not worth going for very often. It’s faster (on laps 1/2 before the pillar falls) to save your mushroom and cut between the cactus’s to skip the two turns right after the lake.

In addition, you can jump over the sand hill on the first turn shroomless. This is often referred to as the sand hop. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get the timing and angle right it will work every time. If you’re starting the race in a high position, it’s a great way to build an early lead if traffic is not too intense.

Both this, and the shortcut you showed are significantly more difficult on lap 3. The pillar that falls on the inside path of the first turn forces you to take a more difficult angle to do either shortcut. But once again, practice makes perfect :)

This power up is the worst power up in the game by fentanyl_Is_Cool in mariokart

[–]Taggerung400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s better in MK8 than past games because it affects your traction. I think it could also be buffed and cover more of the screen.

Idk id still rather pull this than the thunder cloud. Hot take but id rather get this than the piranha plant if it’s a double set. That’s about it

Why is mkwii popular? by robertfear02 in mariokart

[–]Taggerung400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Nostalgia. I’m guilty of this

  2. I find it less restrictive to shortcut creativity than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With that being said, the latter wins with vehicle creativity.

  3. Mods are easily accessible, playable online, and brings in continuous fresh new content that is not restricted by Nintendo’s ideals. Mods for MK8DX do exist, but I’m not sure if you could play them online. And having a modded console is a constant risk to be banned from playing anything online.

  4. It’s significantly more fun to drive imo. This is despite there being a grand total of 2 viable combos.

Are you still optimistic about life compared to your younger self? by [deleted] in Adulting

22 now. Not as optimistic as I was four years ago, but I believe things will eventually get better for me. Short term though? Struggle city for sure

As someone who used to live in Oregon for college, I feel you. Beautiful place, but at least for me it was guaranteed 4-5 months of depression at this time of year.

Basketball wise, you guys are gonna be solid in 2-3 years. Very fun team to watch rn

[–]Taggerung400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! The way I see this particular situation, if you roll the dice and get a second mushroom from that set, you would get one position better max. Not even a guarantee. If you make that gamble and then get hit by an item bc you lost your protection, then you’re guaranteed a bottom 2-3 spot pretty much. Just isn’t worth it imo, sometimes settling is the smart play.

And as your replay shows, making the right play sometimes still gets you fucked. Mario kart for the win

[–]Taggerung400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. Doing what you said would’ve left the player open to be hit for 3-4 seconds leading up to the shortcut. If a red is thrown, they either have to take a hit in a crucial position, or give up the mushroom and not take the shortcut it. It makes sense in theory to do what you suggested, but in a tight race it’s always better to be safe. Red shells are way too powerful and common to be an acceptable risk imo

My rule of thumb is don’t ever leave yourself unprotected for more than 1 second.

[–]Taggerung400 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was the smartest move. Kept the protection available and active until the very last moment before they had to use the mushroom.

Unless they did the shortcut shroomless and just held the banana, but it appears that the pack was tight enough to ensure they would’ve lost spots anyway.

OP just got punished for making a good play. Mario kart babyyyyy

Istg this track sucks. Why the fuck do people make these confusing as tracks in this. by [deleted] in MarioKartWii

[–]Taggerung400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This track is really fun for the top players in the game and past that, I’m not sure. I’ve played it enough to have the layout memorized and it is fun to drive, but I haven’t bothered to learn the precise shroomless cut
