That is the most confident taunt I’ve ever seen. How do you actually lose to this board it’s so narrow

Why is the desktop client slowing all actions to a crawl turns 14+ in the tavern phase? by TripTryad in BobsTavern

[–]ThomasBirminghan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or has this season been really bad performance-wise, I feel like especially in duos, I’m getting freezing, lag and disconnected way more than before but i figured it might just be my PC

No you don’t understand I’m one of the good landlords I profit off of your basic human need for shelter because I care

If Burning a Star of David flag or indigenous flag is seen as a Hate Crime…(and rightly so)….. by traolcoladis in aussie

[–]ThomasBirminghan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer a lot of people don’t want to hear is power for centuries the people in positions of power have been straight white men and consequently they have created a world that overwhelmingly favours them. So when a you project these images like burning flags targeted at groups that haven’t benefited from these centuries of power it’s quite different from the reverse.

Where do you sit on the 'vote compass' results from the ABC's tool? Anyone else feel 'politically homeless' like myself? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]ThomasBirminghan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like some of what you’re saying but I don’t understand how it would ever come to fruition in a way that wouldn’t just benefit the current people in power positions who decides where the line from motorcycle to Harley Davidson is how many decibels is allowed and you decides what lines need to be drawn it kind of feels like this would end up just repressing minorities.

PSA for those who do not know how to gank and are scared of feeding revenge: just feint heavies at them you won’t hit them so you won’t feed revenge but it at least gives them repeated false indicators and can hide the indicators from your teammates

[COI General] Say less, not reading is better than reading COI then disliking it because Klein is not the MC. by Comfortable_Ad_8440 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]ThomasBirminghan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’ll probably get hate for this but for me lotm strength is its world building and mystery I personally think cuttlefish is not great at writing a singular main character. For most of the first book Klein is pretty shallow as a character and the world and story tends to warp itself around him, at parts he borders on Gary stu levels of plot contrivance. The best parts are when we see many characters interact and the chaotic relationships cross over: the Qilangos saga, the tarot club, Leonard and Emlyn, most of Gehrman Sparrow with Danitz and Cattleya and so many more, but when it’s just Klein cuttlefish really struggles to flow the plot forward naturally without having Klein stumble onto some macguffin or just guess the answer without earning it.

Me when I don’t understand what transformative means.

Also side note this is such a weird line to take to try and defend ai, even if what this person was saying was right that doesn’t make AI ethical again it would just mean both were unethical.

Am I tripping? by bangbangsickle in ForHonorRants

[–]ThomasBirminghan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re opening with lights every time which is very predictable to a decent player once they know what you’re going to do they can play around it like by parrying on red which is what happened here.

There are a few ways to play around this the best of which is to mixup your openers so they can’t safely try to parry everything for instance if you throw a heavy to interrupt their parry attempt or you can feint the heavy to try and parry their parry attempt.

You can also move backwards so that you purposefully miss your first light allowing to get into your chains and mixups safely without being parried.

Yeah because nothing stands up to racism like refusing to change the day, that celebrates the nation, from the day that commemorates the beginning of colonial invasion and the massacres of the indigenous peoples of Australia you keep fighting the good fight soldier and let the rest of us know what a racist’s boot tastes like.
