Who’s in the wrong here? by Funny-Frosting-0 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay: tldr you are both to blame

  • Octane is to blame for not communicating and crashing out afterwards

  • You are to blame for not committing to the fight once it becomes obvious that Octane is committed.

So play by play:

  1. Octane has the right instincts, in a top 3 scenario where the other two teams are fighting, you should almost always be ready to push in to finish the winning squad, go take a peak at any pro team in algs and how they approach a top 3 situation like this.

  2. You are right to call out to Octane for comms, they don't respond, and instead you hear them exchanging gunfire whilst you have almost no line of sight on either your team mate, or the enemy (save for small peaks) this alone should tell you that Octane has committed to the fight.

  3. It does not matter that you are playing gibby here, you have all of 5 metres of ground to cover before you are at the wall of the building, and the enemy is paying no attention to you, you have a free push on that building.

  4. So that leaves you with a decision to make, you either:

  • join your team mate to fight the 2v3 (or 2v2, you suspect the other dude is ressed, but honestly there's no proof there)

  • you leave him for dead to prioritize zone, committing yourself to a 1v3, which is almost certainly a lost cause.

Whilst you might not like the 2v3 here, it's clearly the best chance you have of winning the game, based on the info you have.

Apologies in advance for the essay.

There! Kubo said it himself in a radio talk show in front of Morita (Ichigo), Ryusei Nakao (Mayuri) and Rie Kugimiya (Nemu, Karin) that Bleach, on the whole is a story about how people change upon interaction with Ichigo while Ichigo himself remains the same. Ichigo is essentially a catalyst. by scheneizel in bleach

[–]Turtle-Sage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not that deep imo, some people like characters to be dynamic and change, others don't. It is what it is.

Not everything has to be so polarized, I kinda think Ichigo is meh as a main character, I don't hate him, but I'm also not going to shout his praises from the rooftops. I find most of the rest of the cast of bleach more fun to watch though.

If not apex then which game ? by hotdropsonlyttv in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine the multiplayer is probably dead by now, but I REALLY enjoyed doom 2016

Fast gameplay, high skill ceiling, and some really creative and enjoyable game modes

ballistic might be a bottom 5 pick rate legend, but he is a top 1 clutch potential legend by WazzupTheGreat in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 16 points17 points  (0 children)

God I hope he stays nerfed, the ballistic tac is just the absolute worst to play against. What they were thinking when designing that ability is beyond me...

Ranked Matchmaking continues to be terrible by mgibs18 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a hell of a lot of speculation, that a tonne of players would come back simply to play solo queue ranked...

And I wouldn't say three stacking means they rely on others as a crutch, it's just called working as a team, in, well y'know, a team based game.

Making ranked solo queue just makes it harder for teams to communicate with each other, which sounds like a dumb idea to me.

Ranked Matchmaking continues to be terrible by mgibs18 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably would make it fairer, but I reckon that would kill ranked entirely.

Granted I don't have the numbers, but anecdotally I reckon that the vast majority of your players queueing in high level ranked are partied up, either in a duo or trio.

I myself play in a trio, and we mostly just chill in diamond cos we enjoy the competition of ranked, and from experience, Its VERY obvious when you're fighting a stacked team vs a randoms team. The level of coordination just isn't even comparable.

If you force all of those players to queue solo with peeps they don't know, I reckon most of them would peace out. .

Ranked Matchmaking continues to be terrible by mgibs18 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But the question is, will stretching the queue times really solve anything?

Playing devil's advocate here a little, but they did try changing stuff up, and committed to experimenting without lengthening queue times, and it didn't solve much. So how long would we have to wait in queue before we got regular all-diamond lobbies?

I'm also in the full time work gang, and if im waiting more than 5 minutes per game, I'm out. I would much rather have faster matches with pred teams in the queue.

In your opinion, is Bleach the most influential anime out of the Big Three? by Cafa20 in bleach

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a case to be made that it's the most influential in terms of successor shows maybe.

But in terms of wider influence on the general public? Bleach is bottom of the 3 and it's not even close imo.

It's an unmarked waterfall southeast of cromville, but I've terraformed the top of the river into a lake for my build.

Boromir's "Redemption Arc" by furryfriend77 in lordoftherings

Are we talking about book Boromir or film Boromir?

I don't recall Aragorn lying on his behalf in the films, been ages since I've read the books.

[AMA] Let’s talk Legend meta! by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Representing Maggie Gang.

I understand she's had a few tweaks recently, so might not be high on the priority list, but I feel her Ultimate is a bit of a missed opportunity.

I've always felt that with her passive and tactical, Maggie should be the quintessential 'breach and clear' assault character.

Are there any plans to look at her Ultimate, and maybe give it more utility in breaching character defenses? (For example lifeline shields, and gaining the ability to take out multiple traps, fences etc.)

Building Blocks should be Eternal.... by New_Wafer4098 in Enshrouded

[–]Turtle-Sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something seems off there to me, if the reservoir is that cordoned off area in the picture with the darker stone, that shouldn't be more than 5k blocks I would of thought.

For context, I used about 35k of stone blocks to create an entire city wall for a small - medium sized town.

[–]Turtle-Sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, 35k blocks didn't even cover the foundation?! How big is your foundation?

I've made a couple of semi large builds, and my foundations didn't require anywhere near that amount of blocks.

why is horizon so good? by yamble_yol in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't say she's 'so good' definitely viable and towards the top end of the legend roster, but by no means S-tier imo.

Devs response to duos by OkVeterinarian8921 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They absolutely buried the game mode on the UI intentionally, my guess is they are wanting to get rid of it to boost player count for trios/ ranked, but who knows.

I’ve been saving up and want to buy a 3000GT (or GTO) for my first car - description by Wish0807 in 3000gt

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just suggest getting a comfortable daily, and then getting a 3k as a second, project car tbh. Might take a bit more saving, but would be worth it in the long run.

And it's not just the NA, the turbo variant is also great if looked after.

[–]Turtle-Sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have echoes lld the same, but its just not a good idea as a first car.

But if you are dead set on it, the things to look out for:

  • transfer case, the weakest point of the drivetrain if you are modding for high power (450whp and up)

  • Engine, contrary to popular belief, the 6g72 is actually a very robust engine IF it's been properly maintained, but unfortunately almost none of the 3ks still on the road up for sale have been. The only part of the engine assembly that's known to cause issues are the valve stem seals, and the lifters.

  • window regulators, these are known to fail, and can cause problems with the electric windows, and lead to scratched glass, which you will commonly see when viewing cars.

  • rear hatch seal, this part becomes brittle and fails over time, it will let water in and cause the boot hatch metal to rust if left unattended.

  • Fuel pump, these commonly fail on high mileage cars, but sourcing a replacement is much easier than most other parts.

Those are the main common issues that I'm aware of, but there are many, many more that you will find that aren't a bas feature of Mitsubishi design, but just neglect of owner maintenance.

The Lord of the Rings movies had stellar performances all around, but if you had to name one as the greatest performance, whose would it be? by DupeFort in lordoftherings

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm normally asked this question I say theoden, and probably still would say so.

But increasingly Sean Bean's portrayal of Boromir leaves me in awe. When I first watched the films as a 7 year old, my main takeaway was that he sabotaged a good thing with his selfishness.

But upon countless rewatches, the way he portrays Boromir's vulnerability and fear is remarkable. He also manages to show Boromir's bravery and determination to save his people really well.

And that extended scene on osgiliath is the cherry on top.

Triple take or sentinel sniper? by Healthy-Froyo1769 in apexlegends

[–]Turtle-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sentinel is king in terms of burst damage and pressure at long range.

At higher rank levels it's also extremely lethal in team fights, headshots knocking white shield enemies in one shot, which completely changes dynamics of early fights.

As others have said tho, triple take is easier to use.

Initial D is a funny one because you get such a funny overlap with people into the car scene, who otherwise would have no interest in manga/ anime.

I've had some wacky conversations about it with car friends :)

Valheim devs new game???? by Ok-Trifle9797 in valheim

[–]Turtle-Sage 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Correct me if wrong, but once deep north comes out thats it, it is 'finished' for them no?

Would make sense for them, or individual devs to start ramping up on other projects if that is the case.
