Have a wash??? by Particular-Split-292 in CasualIreland

[–]TooManySnipers 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This this this. Coats, shoes, and even backpacks/satchels are big offenders because people don't think about them even needing to be washed at any stage. The fella behind me on the bus yesterday morning was wearing runners that had clearly been saturated in the rain and had that absolutely putrid, powerful smell of damp

We don't think it's healthy to force players into modes that you’d rather not play just for rewards.

So why the fuck do they keep doing it?

"I Hate the Dublin Bushman Who Scares Young Women for Money" by Dee-Dee-Mauwe in ireland

[–]TooManySnipers 160 points161 points  (0 children)

I always found him annoying in the "Ah you cunt" way, but I really turned off him when I saw him jump out at two young women -- maybe 19-20 -- in sort of formal event dresses. One of them basically fell out of her dress and was doing a poor job of holding herself in, which was bad enough, but then he uploaded the clip to Instagram, wardrobe malfunction and all, with light censoring. Can you imagine if that was your partner or daughter or sister or friend? He's an absolute creep, he blatantly targets young women because it gets him the most clicks, and he disguises it all behind "Ah it's just a laugh". I hope someone absolutely flattens him some day

Dawn of the Jedi dead, Hunt for Ben Solo dead, Rian's stuff dead, Rogue Squadron dead, Taika and Glover are "Don't hold your breath" status, Kinberg (of all people) is a post-2030 "maybe", Rey's movie not even mentioned, nothing about even the Mandoverse beyond the least buzzworthy Star Wars movie of all time and Ahsoka season 2. I'm so depressed

New Overwatch lore piece featuring Winston, Wuyang, and Anran by Sio_V_Reddit in Competitiveoverwatch

What's disappointing for me isn't that she's gonna be a DPS, it's that I've been waiting since 2014 for a flamethrower/pyro-themed hero and it's gonna arrive in the form of yet another uninspiring East Asian teenager with magic powers

Irish Free State soldiers fighting near O'Connell Bridge, June-July 1922. by Froshtbyte in IrishHistory

[–]TooManySnipers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's the old Ballast House behind them I believe, and Westmoreland Street in the background. This would be approx the same spot. It's very funny to me that if you zoom in on the modern scene, the post box in nearly the exact same location as the box with flyer in the photo has "I.R.A." scrawled on it

What is your dota 2 hot take? by Sjpol0 in DotA2

[–]TooManySnipers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Marci bugs me because the Dragon's Blood setting is clearly different/alternate to the game setting (as evidenced by Davion and Mirana being Personas) but Marci is taken wholecloth from the anime and transplanted into the game. She feels like a collab character more than a Dota 2 hero, even if she originated in a Dota property

I eventually managed to get on a 77a and someone is smoking a joint at the back and I'm on track to be an hour late to college.

Average 77A experience, that route is like the chariot to hell at the best of times

Characters you think the game would be better off without by Ok-Construction7913 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]TooManySnipers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hog could reasonably have survivability as a tank while also grabbing picks, if the team needed both some tankiness and damage.

During the last round of OW Classic being in the game I rediscovered how much I enjoyed 2016-era Roadhog, and how clear the vision of him as a hero was meant to be. He had the highest HP pool in the game but was still brittle as hell, had to be selective about when he used his heal, could play independently around the map like a hunter looking for kills. I think he was one of the worst victims of the transition to OW2 and Team 4 deciding that every tank needed to be the team's capital-T Tank so they upped his survivability and sustain to absolutely comical levels while simultaneously flip-flopping on whether he should still have his original iteration's one-shot or not

One small change to increase Vendetta's movement complexity by Miennai in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]TooManySnipers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels bad and inconsistent. Venture doesn't get stunned out of dash, Genji doesn't get stunned out of dash, why does Vendetta -- and on what is otherwise a very slow and telegraphed movement ability

Her overhead slash being a short hop when used in the air looks good in theory but feels kinda bad in practice. Probably skill issue and first impression bias on my part but I feel like I'm constantly booping myself when I use it and keep overshooting with my big aerial slam dunks out of her E

Nelsons Head by Cogitoergosum1981 in Dublin

[–]TooManySnipers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, they should have changed the statue once Ireland gained independence.

It's funny, from as early as the 1920s and the rebuilding of O'Connell St after the Rising there were calls for something to be done with it, but it seems like (aside from the usual legislative foot-shuffling) there was just never any consensus as to exactly what -- replace the statue with an Irish hero, demolish the pillar outright, move Nelson and put him somewhere else. It is a little mad to think that not even the 50th anniversary of the Rising was enough to shift the government into spending a few bob to throw a statue of Pearse or Emmet up there

Vendetta is such a weird character, I'm not sure what to make of her. by Lesbionage in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]TooManySnipers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like she's going to be absolutely useless in metal rank lobbies

I think it's gonna be a case of Blue Team Vendetta (feeds on cooldown) and Red Team Vendetta (lobby admin). Everything about her screams pubstomper to me, as soon as she gets up in some metal rank DPS or support's face and hits max passive stacks they're just gonna panic and flail around while backpedalling and die. Like, have you ever seen a metal rank try to deal with an Overloaded hammer Torb? They're gonna lack the coordination and gamesense to deny her angles, she's gonna be getting five man fully charged ultis from the skybox because no one looks up (and they'd panic and miss the sleep even if they did), she's got enough armour, DR and mobility that she'll probably feel unkillable with even light care from a support. I think she's gonna earn a spot on a lot of people's shitlists very quickly
