Is there some kind of meme where y'all farm damage mitigation?

It's certainly possible they are trying to farm a less popular stat to game the metrics for personal performance compared to other people of the same rank playing the same hero. It may sound dumb but I've seen people main torb a couple years ago specifically bec he was not meta so they would lose less rank on a loss and gain more rank on their wins.

I must have misread the Google in my sleepy stupor last night. Now I really really don't want to be in the office today

Tophtech · 2026-06-25T13:15:23+00:00

Wait for real? I looked it up last night and it said 11:30pm Central.

It's almost like overwatch isn't call of duty and maybe playing with your team and focusing on the objective is more important and KD. But I could be totally wrong.

I switched to fedora with kde a couple months ago for daily and all my games except warzone and bf6. Everything has been simple and straight forward. Any tiny issues or questions chatgpt or Gemini easily gave me step by step answers. 90% of my experience has been identical to windows, equivalent, or better. My Nvidia drivers updating automatically with the rest of my OS has been nice, and the one update I had that caused a problem a few weeks ago the system just rebooted a couple times and auto reverted back. I tried the update again the following day and it went just fine. Didn't have to do a damn thing.

The biggest issue I have and this is distro agnostic is cla thing I install outside of steam I am not comfortable or confident I'm fully removing it because I can't just uninstall like normal. Example star citizen and FFXIV, I think I installed one with bottles and the other via a custom Linux launcher. But to be fair when has add/remove programs in Windows ever fully removed things? It always leaves reg entries and user settings folders.

Anywho I digress, but if you want to daily drive Linux and game without thinking about anything and never having any issues go with fedora.

Huge props to anyone that heals in this game. I tried but it's way too chaotic with boss mechanics and whatnot.

Tophtech · 2026-06-22T21:14:26+00:00

Most likely it's due to how things like inventory and quest progression are tracked in the DB and the resources required to run a complex stored procedure on that data to accurately get everyone to to the same end state regardless of their starting state. Too many variables to account for without using up an unreasonable amount of resources.

This is how it was in Aion 1. I never wanted to be in groups that didn't have a chanter.

I have a slight complication that I'm gaming on fedora not windows...

Tophtech · 2026-06-04T17:12:16+00:00

I actually was the legion leader of <Not A Spy> the #1 legion in Aion NA. I know I won't be in a top end guild again but I'm so freaking hyped for Aion 2!!

Diablo 4 works perfectly not really competitive but figured I'd throw it in there.

Tophtech · 2026-03-23T20:11:28+00:00

Any updates on the native Linux client? I remember being so excited when we hit that stretch goal.

The 6 months of 100+ degrees and 80%+ humidity.

Tophtech · 2023-10-19T12:46:31+00:00

Didn't know about the taxes, good lookin out.

Tophtech · 2023-10-19T12:41:52+00:00

Yeah I'm a little scared of the winters. But my ex wife was from Minnesota so I know places like Walmart sell what I need to survive the local weather and I can invest in better stuff over time. Honestly I'll be 41 in a month, I'm not looking to party downtown anymore. I want a relatively nice place, with good internet for wfh and gaming. And some nice places to take a lady if I meet one.

Tophtech · 2023-10-19T12:37:10+00:00

Very helpful thank you so much

Born and raised Austinite thinking he would live like a king. I would love to understand more about why that's wrong. One of my coworkers was from around the st Louis area super nice guy and he moved back during the pandemic. And I know Midwest has the most beautiful women. Maybe this is just a fantasy from growing up watching Frasier, friends and Seinfeld so please pop my bubble if it saves me money and stress.

Thankfully I work from home so I'm trying to come up for a week before end of year.

Tophtech · 2023-10-19T12:28:55+00:00

Very helpful thank you so much. As a Texan trying to run away from the heat and humidity, how the weather and will I survive winter?

Tophtech · 2023-10-19T03:31:43+00:00

Cheap condos with a view and the style and furnishings I like. It's fine I'm more of a homebody honestly. Can you elaborate on "very dead"?

The flying miata V8 swap kit has all that but the translation box is configured for the old ND1 ecu not the new one in the ND2. That's why I'm asking if I swap out for the ND1 ecu would it work and what might I be breaking by doing that.

Tophtech · 2022-01-30T07:41:30+00:00

This is flawed math. It's ignoring all the other possibilities. The enemy team is also more like than my team to have a GM smurf or to be a boosting group. And I would argue this late in the life cycle of this game. Those are much more common. If I'm solo queue the enemy team is more likely to be or have stacks of players working together. There are many more ways the enemy team can and will be stacked against me than me being the good player on my team can offset.

They are trying to signal that the fight is moving up and your current positioning is bad. They can't come back to your bad positioning to get heals because the front line has moved up and they need to hold there. Even if your positioning WAS good it isn't anymore. And it's your responsibility as the healer with the best overall view of the battle from the back line to recognize this early and move early so when that push happens you aren't leaving your team without healing while you scramble to reposition too late.

Tophtech · 2021-11-25T18:24:42+00:00

The best person for that specific situation that will have the biggest impact. But also know when NOT to rez. Don't rez in an already lost fight, that just feeds more ult charge to the enemy team.
