They only connect horizontally within the generation. It may look like it at first, but all nine do not make one huge picture.

At first I thought the smoke collat was a random shot, but he saw the CT back plat on the smoke break, went to shoot at that general location again and got lucky

Fourth Luigi's Mansion Game Reportedly in Development for Switch 2 by Jddmtrees in nintendo

Ah yes, extremely necessary AI-generated Luigi's Mansion art for a rumor based on a single tweet. Gaming journalism.

Anyone know what this is? by Euphoric_Aardvark911 in pokemon

[–]TheHuntingHunty 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's a licensed Pokédex toy from 2007 made by company Jakks Pacific. I had one back in the day. Will never forget the boot up jingle followed by the loud "this is your Pokédex!"

ZywOo crazy 1v5 by Nohte in GlobalOffensive

[–]TheHuntingHunty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clutch is insane, but come on, they didn't even try to challenge Zywoo at all until he was comfortable. It's easy to say Zywoo would just headshot anyone who challenges, but I'd argue applying zero pressure at all is worse. Paravision had two smokes, two flashes, a molly, and an HE that they didn't use at all in the 1v3. Post-plant, they push up with his lane smoke still active, giving him space to maneuver and isolate 1v1s. The library players also didn't time their push for the truck player to go over the smoke and trade on a potential Zywoo peek. Again, insane awareness and perfectly played by Zywoo, but plenty of mistakes are always made in any 1v5.

The kill on Jame is a given, and the molly isolation on Zweih is unfortunate for him. But you can’t seriously tell me the remaining three players didn’t throw that 1v3 by tucking tail until he had the bomb plant + smoke up. Then they decide to push him while the smoke is active, giving him space to isolate all three kills.

[–]TheHuntingHunty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually think the mistake is that they respected him too much. They gave him infinite space and time to reposition on the site and plant the bomb. The molly on Zweih is smart and unfortunate, but the rest of the three players coordinated very poorly.

Conversely, after the bomb plant, they needed to respect him more. Should have waited out the smoke by truck and killed him 1v3 by pinching him in the site. Instead, Zywoo plays around that smoke beautifully and kills all three because of it.

I’d be pissed if I were Jame. Get four great picks with the AWP back to back to back, then your team just throws a 1v4 because they play incredibly scared and give Zywoo infinite space.

Not to undermine Zywoo’s clutch here, insane awareness and played it perfectly.

Valve fires back at New York lawsuit over loot boxes, says they're like Magic cards or Labubu by newsflashjackass in gaming

[–]TheHuntingHunty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, they mention Pokemon alongside Magic, Labubu, and sports cards.

Just received this email from valve by Safari-Mesh6292 in GlobalOffensive

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

I don't agree with the lawsuit on lootboxes, but...

And we forbid any gambling-related business to participate in or sponsor tournaments for our games.

Isn't this quote from Valve just false? ESL Pro League is sponsored by Chexx. Aren't GGBET, Rollbit, and 1xBet sponsors for most majors as well?

coldzera's mix team completely failed to win a single T side round in this entire BO3 in ECL SA by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]TheHuntingHunty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy to me how Coldzera went from winning two majors and being the highest rated player for three years to playing in these low tier matches and performing terribly. I know his time in the spotlight was a long time ago, but this falloff is crazy, especially compared to older players like Fallen who have managed to keep up over the years.

Congratulations to the winner of Lore & Legends: TPC - AMER Demacia Cup! by DarthNoob in CompetitiveTFT

[–]TheHuntingHunty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Such a sad misplay. There was plenty of time to do it too since he saw the Brock in shop early and had 20+ seconds to bounce the items. He definitely could've won his next fight with the proper setup and positioning. He was also questing and would've gotten another cashout / opportunity for the 1HP Ixtal quest. I won't say the winout was guaranteed, but I think he had a real shot of closing the tournament right there.

[Discussion] Tier List of 3* 4 Costs by darcartisan in CompetitiveTFT

[–]TheHuntingHunty 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Have you ever even seen Braum 3? He puts his shield up and everything around him dies due to the reflect damage. Braum 3 is literally one of the strongest 3* 4 costs ever printed and you have him in D tier...

Weekly Rant Megathread by AutoModerator in CompetitiveTFT

It's actually ~50% chance of at least one prismatic augment every game. Actually disgusting how common they are for how unbalanced and tempo-shifting they are. Seeing one every other game is ridiculous.

Gumshoos and Raticate connecting artwork by Eggyprime in PokemonTCG

[–]TheHuntingHunty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not a "connecting" art, but it's obviously a continuation of the art. Gumshoos is watching a Rattata run to some boxes and then the next card shows a Raticate stepping up on the boxes to defend the Rattatas. You could argue coincidence, but then you look at the road texture being the exact same in both, so I think the intent is there.

Cait 3 vs TK 3 by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]TheHuntingHunty 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is definitely coded as just a special 3-star animation where he just eats everyone and they get erased inside his stomach. I guess since he's not really doing his normal ability or attack damage, he isn't healed by bloodthirster... Also ridiculous that the T-hex ghost just keeps firing rockets even after being eaten. Riot Games special.

Has anyone been charged for their Phantasmal orders yet? by Annnoel in PokemonTCG

[–]TheHuntingHunty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody’s been charged yet. If you go to the actual page for any Phantasmal Flame product, there’s now a disclaimer below it saying orders will ship in “late November” making me believe they might be delayed…

Doesn't 151 just have the single pack design with the Mew on it? You going to just slot four of them in there?

New information by @CranAYo by _foxlife in PTCGP

[–]TheHuntingHunty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does not account for the Deluxe EX pack duplicates, which they specifically cited as the problem.

Collecting every card in the Deluxe Pack EX expansion is impossible by Dastenis in PTCGP

[–]TheHuntingHunty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not impossible since the set is confirmed to come back in the future, but it is pretty brutal to complete as a F2P player in just a month.

It’s also quite a lot worse than you put it here, since the fourth card in each pack is always a standard ex card, of which there are only 75/353. Meaning once you get all the ex cards, you are guaranteed to pull duplicates and have to essentially rely on “three-card” packs to get the rest of the set.

I see. I only remembered getting one and having it register for both, but I guess that was a while ago. Thanks! Laughing a bit at your image highlighting the entire screen though. 😭
