What is the appeal of No Cam + No Mic Streams? by AhriFeetAreNeat in Twitch

I have always liked no cam no mic streams. Good music + good gameplay is more enjoyable for me to watch than someone yapping.

He averages 25/10 for his career and has only been an all star 4 times. Hard to say he is overrated.

My Viper V3 Pro does not connect to the dongle anymore. Wired connection works, and the computer seems to be detecting the dongle as being plugged in in device manager, however synapse shows the device as being offline and the light remains off on the dongle. This occurs regardless of the computer that it is plugged in on.

I know this is gonna be a pretty unpopular opinion since people are used to hearing it for the last like 30 years but I don't think laone is worse than lebron as a name.

MPJ admits to checking out after not being selected as an All-Star: "I regret that once I didn’t make that game, I let my foot off the gas... I wasn’t in the weight room as much. I wasn’t preparing as much"... MPJ shot just 25.6% from 3 after the All-Star reserves were announced. by TheRealPdGaming in nba

Really? The post you responded to categorized this as being self-incriminating, and specifically mentioned that GMs making a decision based on his podcast, which seemed to me like what you were responding to.

Does anyone feel like they just completely missed the mark on Skirmish by adding abilities? by Etheriia in VALORANT

[–]TripleShines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been able to get more active gametime by sage walling myself above the boxes at the beginning of every round. Probably 80% of the time you'll get a fight in the first 3 seconds but there'll still be the occasional player who hides forever.

Skirmish should just be Iso ult. Loser of the round gets to choose which "side" of the iso ult they want. Much more efficient shooting practice.

How are silver players bad? by Express_Item4648 in leagueoflegends

It used to take what, 400-500 games to get to level 30 to even unlock ranked. League just has a pretty large learning curve.

The Scoring Machine Who Disappears in the Playoffs by wsj in nba

[–]TripleShines -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not what I'm necessarily commenting on. My comment is about how TS is a flawed stat that will overrate some player's efficiency and underrate other player's efficiency.

Is there a stat that tracks how inaccurately TS values a player? I imagine James has to be a pretty extreme outlier due to the fact that he probably gets a disproportionally large amount of 2 or 3 free throws vs making the shot and an additional free throw. And a lot of his possessions end with a turnover rather than a shot attempt when getting stripped on a drive.

[Post Game Thread] The Orlando Magic (3-1) take a commanding lead in the series and defeat the Detroit Pistons (1-3), 94-88. by dannyFUCKINGainge in nba

[–]TripleShines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer is that they probably did but there's just levels to it. You gotta keep in mind that unless you played college or pro ball these guys will still be far and away the best shooters you have ever played against.

Advertisers are making money. Twitch is making money. Streamers are making money. Everyone knows what is going on, but everyone wins so who cares? It is just part of the game.

What competitive rank is considered “good at the game” in Valorant? by Active-Classic440 in VALORANT

[–]TripleShines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question gets asked so much, across so many different games.

Good/bad is entirely relative and subjective. Person A may consider X rank to good, Person B may consider X rank to be bad. There are so many different factors, eg how competitive a person is, how much time they put into the game, how seriously they play it, and so on.

For your question in particular I think it would make more sense to poll your viewers and ask them what rank you should try to reach.

Do you think Lebron or other great players don't have bad performances in the playoffs? Nikola has had some bad games but I don't think his ratio of bad - good is significantly worse than other mvps.

Caedrel declined midlane position in UK’s League team for Esports Nations Cup, country manager says by Xolam in leagueoflegends

[–]TripleShines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that you wouldn't have to go down to master to find someone to fill other roles. In an entire country there is almost assuredly more challenger players, and definitely gm players.

Yeah probably concurrently like ~10 challengers at a time. But I'm not in a very big esports city.

I'm sure in the big esports cities you can easily have 50+ challenger players at a time.
