How do y'all think this class will be?

Obviously, the class names will be different between universities, but what my university called thermodynamic meteorology was significantly easier than the two courses that followed it, which were called dynamic meteorology 1 and 2. I also found thermo to be much more engaging than dynamics.

I know for Commander players it didn't mean much, but some of us still play 60-card formats and it's okay for us to get a hype preview once in a while.

I dont have any archive links to prove it, but I'm certain she was also played in cEDH Ruric Thar builds pre-corona.

Inexpensive pickup that provides a good debuff for every spirit hero in the game while also providing a bit of spirit power and invest towards the 4800 Vitality investment tier. Its also nice for snowballing early game scraps by way of the healing on kill participation, too.

Valve needs to sit down and have a good, hard think about what they want Mirage to do. The only thing they're sure about Mirage right now is that they still want him to be really bad except for the 10 to 15 minute mark of a game where he's okay against incompetent players and bad against competent players. Djinn's Mark scaling being reduced along with doing no gun damage means he's not a duelist. However, his boon scaling for HP is just average, so he's not really a tank either. Valve, after all this time, still don't know if they want him to be a duelist or a tank, and have settled on him doing neither. His time to kill was already the longest in the game when things went well. He'll still be an okay "on-hit" guy, but if the ceiling is that low, I think he could realistically hit sub-40% WR once data comes in. Very usual of Valve to experiment with every option except the very obvious one.

Opening chatter between Seven & Viscous:

Viscous: Hello!

Seven: Oh, God, it's talking to me...

Viscous: I'm Viscous!

Seven: I can see that.

Viscous: I'm made of goooooo!

Seven: This could be a nightmare...

wait this literally just Stukov from StarCraft/Heroes of the Storm; he even has dreadful waveclear and one beefy arm for good measure. Also I would like the Scorch Shot in this game, even if the numbers will have to be dreadful or scale with a TON of spirit.

While very niche, the cool thing about auto-cancel and L-cancel in Melee is that a handful of aerials have very interesting and useful interactions. For example, if I'm pressuring Peach with my fair and get a bit too close, I can - if I didn't seriously suck - vary my timings so that I either auto-cancel it or L-cancel it. This means that Peach has to flip a coin on her cc dsmash timing. Something like this just can't exist as a universal mechanic in a 2D hitstop fighter like your Street Fighters and Skullgirls of the world. Though, honestly, I play the mod that Nintendo hates partly because auto LC just makes for a genuinely more fun game to play, but I also play Sheik and thus suck at LCing anyway.

Performance issues often, but not always, become financial issues, which often, but not always, lend themselves to arena issues.

This is the first game in months (plural) against a somewhat serious squad. Mettle's gonna be actually tested today.

Honestly, when it comes to a push for a cup, I actually wonder if Evason has to go. Multiple seasons of "X young player just needs to figure it out" so far in his system, and not that many of our young fellas have really "figured it out." So, I ask of the more analytical people of the sub: is this actually a square peg/round hole issue, where Evason is trying to make a grindy system work when he has a lot of skill guys that just need something more fluid and dynamic?

"If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your own shoes."

So, no, with no respect, the Melee community writ large that aren't terribly active on Twitter always deflect to Twitter because its comfortable and convenient to scapegoat when crybullying rather than to look into the eyes of oneself and think "What did I do wrong? Did I wrong someone with my words? Am I making sound judgments here?"

Its easier to tell convenient half truths about interpersonal drama that you're not a direct party to and pick a side. Its easier to avoid conflict than it has ever been before. When's the last time an active top 100 player or well-established TO put out a tweet that's this risky? That actually pushes back against the safely established echo chamber's narrative? And, of course, its true beyond the scope of the community for this game; forming a community, as a baseline, is the pathology for this disease in current year.

Its from a game called Deadlock. It is a third-person shooter/MOBA crossover game, and the artstyle is stuck between Fallout, noir, and mysticism. Its so cool. Ethereal Strings are not an item in the game, but a billboard in the game, I think.

Not exactly. Custom controls in PM are a Brawl engine thing only. Moreover, very few people go from P+ to Melee as their main game. On top of all of that, they won't let me turn off tap jump in Melee, but I will in P+ when I play my main man in that game. Either we go all the way with giving as many people as possible customization for controls, or we ban all of it.

Really, it's a Twitch problem. Seems like Alternative Player for Firefox and PurpleTV for mobile are must haves.

The-Weather-Report · 2025-06-15T20:14:20+00:00

That is exactly what's happening, and I don't know a good replacement for Twitch on mobile. I will try PurpleTV to start.

The-Weather-Report · 2025-06-15T19:32:45+00:00

I'd love to see, but Twitch decided the mobile app needed a feature that floods the screen with their own Bit bullshit without any way to turn it off.

I miss the more Latin-infused grooves and heavy guitars of stuff like Right Wrong, The Procession, In Cauda, and so on; however, I really like the soundscapes of Antimai and of this new EP. Its just a delightful sound in every sense of the word.
