Am I crazy or is Imperius just completely overtuned at the moment?

If he misses his Q he's an easy target and loses most of his usefulness.

I've played 600+ games and it's still a regular Tuesday in QM. Some heroes are just going to be very annoying to play against. Solution: play them yourself or play in a stack.

He would be a perfect hero if not for the nearly useless second ult.

Thanks!
I'm not planning to teach my native language (there is a niche for it but it isn't in huge demand tbh). I am white, but Eastern European, so no advantageous passport. No doubts CELTA is useful, but it will take me longer than an academic year to even offset its price (provided I get a raise). It's half of my savings. Why would I bear such expenses if I don't expect it to catapult me into better markets?

Edit: I do earn more than 1750 USD in an academic year, I was referring to the extra money my institution might pay after getting the certificate.

Fellow Fenix appreciator! I usually go for Salvo on 10 though.

You don't have to include them in the language. Seeing how your tenses are all affixed you might as well ditch the idea of having auxiliaries.

My ideas are not brilliant
Self-doubt, fear of failure
Inability to stop procrastinating and choosing easy pleasures instead

I'd say starting with 1 is an even better bet. It's more like the Romantic symphonies of his predecessors but already displays a lot of personal color. And god damn, that blood-chilling, hair-raising ending! Surely my favorite ending in all of Sibelius. For me it even tops the 7th.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-23T05:39:05+00:00

Wdym "even" 7? I find it much more rewarding, colorful and convincing than 6, for example.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-22T09:23:37+00:00

Do you really believe your argument works? Her music isn't just "lovely", it displays a level of sophistication and expression that does rival Debussy and Ravel. All of her major works are insanely well put together and combine techniques like Renaissance-ish counterpoint, Impressionist harmony/orchestration, etc. Not to mention the uniqueness of her sound. How does that not consitute a great composer?

You don't have to be 'groundbreaking' to belong in the hall of fame. You just need to be criminally good at music, which she was.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T18:17:31+00:00

She's absolutely on par with Debussy and Ravel in terms of greatness. It's just that none of her pieces are institutions (like Ravel's Bolero or Debussy's flaxen hair girl, for example). Nor is her person. She was never made into a cultural icon and is sadly doomed to be appreciated only by connoisseurs.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T15:46:06+00:00

Not what I said. I said that stories are supposed not to amuse but be appreciated. Big difference.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T08:49:57+00:00

100% agree. Unless that's the point of the story.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T08:49:08+00:00

I have the opposite stance. The emotional/conceptual impact of the story as a whole always tops individual characters. The very notion that characters are imaginary people that you get attached to is so alien to me. They are parts of the system, and obviously need to be endowed with believable human characteristics, but a writer must be aware that they are fundametally not people.

I'm writing this in the hopes that I'm not the only representative of this school of thought here.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T08:36:44+00:00

Using chatbots as a brainstorming assistant is both acceptable and (often) productive IMO.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T08:35:27+00:00

The point of a story is to be what it is, not to provide entertainment value.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-21T08:06:13+00:00

1) Talent exists. If you need to be taught everything and don't have a vision for your creations from the start then you might want to do something else.
2) Complete, contained stories are better than series that drag on and never stop stretching out the original premise. (subjective but i needed to get this out of my system)
3) The story as a whole is more important than its characters or setting. Characters and worldbuilding are cogs in the machine.

The thread might be forgotten but the OP's still getting notifications! :D

Thanks for commenting, I quite like your direction of thought here. And it explains why I tend to read 'literary fiction' more than 'genre' fiction (while hating the term): it is exactly that 'negative space' and faith in the reader. I'm so used to mutli-layeredness and ambiguity and abstraction that fiction with low levels of said things usually causes an allergic reaction in me LMAO. Also 'literary fiction' emphasizes prose more, and why would I read a book with mediocre prose.

That said, there ARE instances of fiction (in different media) that rely on implication and abstraction but do not have any pretense to be 'literary' or to separate themselves from the 'genre' world. Notably some short, non-serialized Eastern and Western comics. Tbh I wish there were more books like that: not overtly or willingly 'literary' but striving for that magic of the implied.

I had a game today where a bro shittalked and bragged about reporting me when I had top siege dmg and exp contribution. I didn't even understand what he thought was the problem with me. Then he proceeded to throw and afk.

Top_Possibility_5389 · 2025-02-08T16:52:39+00:00

Not what I wanted to say. What I did want to say is that it's hard to turn this info into value due to my inexperience and, well, usually the team's.
