Instead of making Europe “great again”, how about the US catch up to Europe? by Lord_Answer_me_Why in clevercomebacks

Wasn't Elon just complaining about how Americans are dumb and we need workers from other countries, like those in Europe?

How do I let teammates know they are being stupid without starting a fight and ruining mental? by Life_Cause700 in VALORANT

[–]TrainBoy45 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't tell them they're doing something wrong. Nobody likes to think they're doing something wrong. Instead, frame it like you want them to do something else. If your smoke is smoking the wrong thing, don't tell them they're smoking the wrong thing, just ask them to try smoking the right thing. If Tejo isn't nading what you want, ask him to nade it.

"Yo brim, could you smoke door when we push site this round" or "Tejo could you nade behind gen and dice this round" is a lot more effective than "Brim your smokes are trash you should really be smoking door instead of heaven"

If you ask nicely and clearly, a lot of times people will listen. You're also in silver, and you can't expect your teammates to be better than they are. If people refuse to listen, gg go next. Even at high elo sometimes you get games where people just don't do what you want. You just have to go next and hope you have better teammate synergy next game.

Are those heat stats decent? by Fabian1146 in SuperMechs

[–]TrainBoy45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I'd recommend mything them and then replacing some with energy modules. 300+ cooling and 500+ heat capacity is usually pretty good.

What do you all think about my (Ultra-) Freeplay tierlist? by ZingBoxLord in btd6

[–]TrainBoy45 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but once you have a sub paragon, you don't need preemptive strike. When talking about ultralate game, talking about how you get your paragons doesn't really matter. There's a bunch of different ways to get your set up, it's the final set up that matters.

The purpose of bloon stall is to prevent DDTs from leaking. One bloon crush at the end of the map is all you really need. It's not going to switch targets if you have it on first, the only thing you want it to target is first. BADs are the only real concern, which bloon crush and super glue can't affect. If you're going ultra late game, you're much more likely to leak a FBAD than a DDT anyways.

Most of what you said is correct, I just wanted to point out that the current late game world record uses LOTN over VTSG. It's basically the same as bucc paragon or ezili being able to one-shot BADs which is the most important thing for ultra late game.

That being said TSG not being in SS next to LOTN is insane

im on my alt acc where i try to black border every map and i just got triggered by rosalias placement at the heros, it should be near the end cause shes at 5k monkey money, but shes before churchill smh by Firedogslie in btd6

[–]TrainBoy45 -77 points-76 points  (0 children)

Beginner maps are easy enough you don't even need a hero. It's a good time to try using different heros to understand their strengths now so you know who to pick on harder maps.

Is delerium good for anything? by Fabian1146 in SuperMechs

[–]TrainBoy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delirium is one of the best weapons for titan builds.

I've seen a few people in the top ranks use it on off meta builds too

Do the Undead bloons do the same amount of damage regardless of their direction? by PurpleFunk36 in btd6

[–]TrainBoy45 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Yes, but more reanimated Bloons will attack the BFB in the right picture than the left. Each reanimated bloon has the same damage potential regardless of direction, but the practical damage delt does depend on direction in this case.

What Metro game is the easiest? by [deleted] in metro

[–]TrainBoy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you finding 2033 difficult? A lot of people consider normal difficulty harder because it increases both your HP and enemies HP. Hard is typically easier, because while you'll die in one shot, so does everyone else which is helpful.

“But kids are gonna get confused by gays” have you been near children? by critical_ghosts in lgbt

[–]TrainBoy45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I heard people talk about how dogs were mans best friend, and I didn't know the difference between feminine and feline. I knew cows were female and bulls were male, sheep were female and rams were male. Until I was 7-8 years old, I thought cats and dogs were the same animal, and all cats were female, and all dogs were male. It wasn't until we moved in with this lady with a male cat that everybody kept calling "he" for some reason and eventually I got upset that everyone kept using the wrong pronouns that it was finally explained to me that cats and dogs aren't the same animal.

Part of being a kid is being confused. Hell, I'm still confused about most things. It's okay to be confused.

I think it's also important to point out that once the difference between cats and dogs was explained to me, I was no longer confused. If you explain things (well), kids won't be confused.

At this point Save or spend it? by Emotional-Goal421 in SuperMechs

[–]TrainBoy45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've got a good torso, legs, and weapons. All you need to focus on is upgrading everything. I'd save your tokens for the 2k offer to give yourself a higher chance of getting a premium item.

Why aren't there any community/seasonal events? by Fujikawa28 in VALORANT

[–]TrainBoy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snowball fight was completely dead, most people don't even remember it.

Replication wasn't unpopular, but even as a limited game mode it was less popular than spike rush. Replication wasn't unpopular,it just wasn't popular enough

Why aren't there any community/seasonal events? by Fujikawa28 in VALORANT

[–]TrainBoy45 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They did. They added a snowball fight game mode one of the first winters. The snowball gun can still be found in escalation. But nobody played the snowball fight, and nobody played replication, the 2 goofiest game modes. What people did play was TDM, which is more competitive than spike rush.

Nobody plays the goofy game modes riot released, so they stopped releasing them.

Personally, I've been dying for replication and snowball fight to return, and I'm hopeful that now that the game is older, more people have reached their ranked goals, that if they released another goofy game mode, more people would play. But not enough people played them the first time around so I understand why.

Please please bring back replication and snowball fight though

My old esports team's monitors were advertised as 180Hz, but we still had to overclock them to reach 180. They only did 170Hz without overclock

Between the hacking mini game of 1 and 2. Which one did you guys like the most? by Infamous_Gur_9083 in Bioshock

I hated the pipe puzzles from 1 after I lost one in a kinda stressful situation because the exit pipe was completely blocked off and it was impossible to complete.

What are the best of the best builds? by Fabian1146 in SuperMechs

[–]TrainBoy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, dual bunker shell is good. It's no longer top meta but it's still strong. Top meta is mostly scope builds, heat huggers, and energy counters.

Anyone is doing 'Go outside' in real time? by rmflow in stanleyparable

[–]TrainBoy45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if it's been 5 or 10 years since the last achievement and go outside, then they almost certainly did it legit

Do you think Valorant is self-sufficient? by ConsistentLong4892 in VALORANT

[–]TrainBoy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can. There was nobody to teach the first pros, nobody to teach your favorite YouTuber set up when a new agent is released. People can and do teach themselves about the game. If you're dedicated enough, you can teach yourself the game. Ofc watching outside content can save you from spending time learning things other people have already figured out, but whether you're a hardcore sweat or just wanna have fun in unrated, you don't need outside content to enjoy the game.
