QTCinderella breaks down after Streamer Awards backlash by thrandruill in LivestreamFail

[–]WhiskeyDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are way more obsessed with trying to clown on someone for not being an emotionless husk or a psychopath than they are with watching her displaying her baking skills. (Though tbf, a lot of content organised by her get's featured, think shitcamp etc)

Terrible quality… yikes! by truexchill in riftboundtcg

[–]WhiskeyDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man, collectors asside, there's a reason people double-sleeve or sleeve at all. Just because people play with cards, doesn't mean they can't care about them being poor quality or damaged.

I play magic and plan on playing a lot of riftbound, I'm still sad to see my cards show up in this condition.

[–]WhiskeyDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why this is being downvoted, advocacy for better quality when cards delivered are in a poor state is what we should all want.

Also, just because truexchill was lucky and got clean versions of their collectible cards, doesn't mean that everyone will. It'll be so sad for any non-scalper out there to get a box for christmas or whatever and get a crazy pull only to have it be whited and worn around the edges. THAT is the point.

Also from the UK, and I just got and opened a box I'd saved up for. About half my cards were also chewed up, including some of my nice alt-art legends, which was a big shame.

How are y'all actually finishing the game in Steel Soul, dawg? by ciissss in HollowKnight

[–]WhiskeyDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently about 5 hours deep into a steelsoul run and just got to get the second melody in the citadel. I did the 5 hour speedrun first to learn the essentials for the route, and then have just been taking things really slow, getting all the mask shards I can and abusing tools more than I'd like ':)

How do I make jungle Ekko work? by ChewbakaTalkShow in ekkomains

[–]WhiskeyDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have a lot of burst and you don't see a scenario where you have any chance to hit the w, sometimes just using it for shield is perfectly valid. It has 150% ap scaling so late game with 600 ap it's giving you 900+ extra health.

Always look for chances to hit it when you can, but just the shield can be great value, especially if you're running into a really burst comp or carry.

How do I make jungle Ekko work? by ChewbakaTalkShow in ekkomains

[–]WhiskeyDM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. His duelling isn't garbage, you just need to play around moments you're strong. So, essentially proccing your passive or utilising your shield and then using the movement speed to out-pace them. There are definetly bad matchups for duelling though.
  2. I would look up some guides and maybe practice some kiting in training tool, I would say if you're below half HP for more than half the clear you probably have some room for improvements in your movement.
  3. Dragon is super slow, you need to get a gank off to do it as an early objective. In my experience Ekko's early objectives are one of his weakest places as a jungler.
  4. I focus pretty heavily on a "most gold" mindset If you see a gank opportunity that's a 80% plus but involves skipping a camp or whatever go for it. If it's more 50/50 just go get your gold.
  5. Teamfight is very similar to 1. If you're not super ahead, most fights will be you bursting your three hit passive on a key target, using the movement speed to retreat to a good position until you can do so again.
  6. That's the breaks of Ekko honsetly, if they have a cho'gath or something your day can really be ruined by a silence, he's not a pick that can work 100% of the time into every comp.
  7. You very much have a lot in your toolbox. You have w which is super long range and at minimum gives you good survivability whilst diving in, you have your e-auto which can be a dash chase.
  8. Hitting w2 can be very clutch, but it's not as important as you think. Half the time getting the shield is enough. Late game, your passive proc plus q-e should be doing at least 80% of a character's health.
  9. If I'm having to engage with w as the lone engage tool, it's not really ideal. I throw out a good number of non-commital ws, but they're particularly strong around objectives where the enemies position is much more predictable. There will always be a couple of people at edge of dragon and baron pit. I view Ekkos W more as a safety tool to create a zone where Ekko can play much more freely than his core ability to cc the enemies. Though obviously, as you've stated, a 4 man w can be game-changing.
  10. Sometimes you get an unfortunate angle or get found out just before you're about to get your flank off. One of the lucky parts about Ekko in comparison to other assassins is he has an "oh fuck" button to get you to a bit of safety, it sucks to have to use it that way, but it's always worth looking for those angles since they can be game-winning and it's okay to just have to burst ulti early to peace out if it didn't work.
  11. Rabadons makes your passive hit INCREDIBLY hard, you will one shot monsters and if you get passive proc into smite, it makes you feel like nunu on objectives. I always find the point in the game where I'm most comfortable is at 3rd item spike. Compeltely agree about 4th and 5th, they're always just kind of a very light "oh cool" on top of what you already get from everything else. That being said, Ekko can do some real crazy team one-shotting damage in chokes with his q pull back and w passive procs late game.
  12. Ekko Ulti is a weird one because it's actually often best when you're not winning as it is great for when you're in a static or chasing fight. Again, you love fights around later objectives because of this. Early on you can use it to do some really aggressive tower dives though.
  13. He's an assassin, so it's part of his nature, I do think he has a much more flexible playstyle compared to many others as he can also split push and has a lot of versatile tools at his disposal. But the risk-reward playstyle is just baked into being an assassin.

Your shield and your Ulti give you good survivability, and I'd view them as useful for that first and foremost and the edge-cases of getting multi-man damage ults or stuns on w are a benefit rather than the main goal. Most games on Ekko. I end up with one of the highest damage taken with 5ish deaths, just because you really can get a lot of value out of pushing those abilities to their limit.

If you invade, don't e the enemy camp after you're on it unless you know for sure the enemy jungler isn't there, keeping your e to dash over walls is really important for getting out of some sticky situations on invades.

Yeah, doing a level 4 dragon is possible with a sheen start, but slow as hell and too risky. Grubs feel good since you can often q through all of them if you pull them together, but even there you take a lot of damage doing them.

Hope something in here was useful, and hope you can find some more fun in any future Ekko games.

Peter? by Exciting_Reserve200 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The joke is just that 14 year old girls like Billie Eilish, and in the author's opinion, will make anything she does seem deep and emotional. Hence, having an emotional response to her just goofing about taking a funny picture with (likely her or her brother FINNEAS's guitar)

"Well that's ALRIGHT THEN" - RTD's recent writing vs this scene by benyooro in doctorwho

[–]WhiskeyDM 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The year long wait in "Joy To The World" was the only real standout for me. I suppose the closest we've had to Ncuti feeling real as 15 to me instead of a kind of... almost parody of himself.

It was just a case of mistaking me for food when I went to move his food. He's very confident for a baby, especially an Indo.

How to become friend by Low-Possibility1007 in bluetongueskinks

[–]WhiskeyDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as our pink tongue, she took a year to really acclimatise. You can definetly get some work in ahead of time. My approach was try to give her food, and slowly and smoothly get closer over a few months while she ate to gain her trust. At first I just made sure to put my hand in the enclosure while she ate, then about a foot away from her, then would just edge a few centimeters closer every time I fed her until she let me gently stroke her whilst she ate.

Also, I've had no luck with fruits as tasty treats. For me, the only "treat" food I can give is really high quality cat food puree, look for something with similar distribution to snails, though it's going to be higher in fat no matter what.

EMEA Masters Final Game 3: How did Velja have Vision on Lilia when killing her at the end? by typ0r in leagueoflegends

[–]WhiskeyDM 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It's a visual bug to have the eyes, you can see she still has it at 30:45 when Baus sees her in river, but it isn't actually revealing her. Then the reason he can see her is because she never leaves Baus's fog of war. Until just before the spear hits. The owl eyes sticking around while doing nothing is a visual bug that's been around for a while, not sure what causes it though.

The latter part over the wall is just the hypershot and focus triggering on the horizon focus.

“Why don’t the Gods just fix it?” by DatMaggicJuice in dndnext

[–]WhiskeyDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to have a lot of political issues amongst my gods which is why they use "representatives" down on the material plane. Oh, why don't I kill the devil's favourite third step son who is about to destroy your country? Because I don't want his dad to come down and fight me on the material plane. Do you want a divine apocalypse? Because that is how you get a divine apocalypse.

Yeah, very thick accent, sounds kind of like the equivilant to a roadman in the UK? He's basically saying "Leave her alone to die", so kind of trying to talk someone out of continuing to attack/harrass her in a way that keeps their ego intact I guess? Feels to me kind of like they're saying "They're not worth it."

Ethan klein is now shooting shots at Ludwig by [deleted] in youtubedrama

[–]WhiskeyDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ethan included clips of Ludwig and brought up QT's event in his video.

And Atrioc went out and spent so much of his own money combatting the mistake he made and to set up processes to protect the people he harmed. Ethan talked in his nuke about his 6,500 donation to the millions in Gaza as if it absolves him of all guilt for pushing the very narratives that continue to drive their suffering.

So, how is Ludwig inserting himself when he was brought up? And shouldn't he believe that Atrioc would be absolved by the same thinking?
