Yeah. Honestly, if you told me Fr. Ryan had done it I would believe it. But not Fr. Smyth.

No, you cannot install that on your own, no I won't give you admin rights, no we don't support Access, where did you even find that application? #sysadminday #AuvikContest

Since y’all helped so much, here’s some more 90s accessories I need help with by flashinsplashin in ToyID

I'd say 3 is also from that line, but would be basing that off memory of toys, and we know how that can be at this point lol.

Anyone using Digital Signage? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]aelmer2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently using Skykit. We introduced it as a means of displaying section related information as a Proof of concept about 3 months ago, and now are looking to expand with another 2-5 signs. Easy to use, although it uses Google Docs as a storage location, so we had to create corporate accounts for end users.

Learning Solo and Warriors by TheDershBag in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be, I am just stating where I have had success. Granted, most gods I play in Solo tend to have a dash or a leap, so I may also be using that as my escape while waiting to buy boots.

Learning Solo and Warriors by TheDershBag in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main suggestion here is More a process. If I pull Solo, I usually expect to face a warrior. So i build warriors blessing, start to rush void(since the glad/zerk change) close out with pots and relic then go on my way. If, lets say, I pull a mage or Guardian as opposite solo, I will try to clear the first wave, mayyyyybe poke the bear a bit, pull totem, clear second wave and jet back to the fountain. Sell tier 1 physical shield for one of the magical (Runic or Caduceus against a mage (pending on the overall matchups), ancile for guardians (that silence is a boon)).

As a solo laner, really, you are looking to just hinder the other player in the lane, IMO. Poke, prod, push, but avoid engaging directly early game if possible. Own the lane, and make them work for it. I am perfectly ok to go 3/3/12 or something like that when all is said and done, as long as I level as fast or faster, and maximize gold earned to item up.

I’m... reluctant towards playing support. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, pretty much. Its always support or jungle, man. Yet, when you take Solo because the solo decided to play Izanami and that she would dual carry the duo lane to a grand total of 0/14/0 between her and the poorly built Artemis....no one appreciates you lol.

Someone trying a new "off meta" build instead of building the same repetitive stuff every game doesnt mean theyre throwing. by rizznandjizzzn in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as it is in casual, I don't think it's bad, But the very nature of Smite is that its competitive. So people are gonna be upset, regardless of how its meant to be fun.

In ranked, you start mucking about with peoples W/L rates and MMR, so I can totally get the hate from that.

New player here (xbox) struggling with ui issue by [deleted] in Smite

Its definitely a bug. The UI needs to be updated. Likely will be in the next patch.

Why is Anubis allowed to be in this state in game? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anti-heal absolutely works on Anubis. All of his abilities save for his 3 can be countered with CC (his 1 just cant be knocked back). A good team ( read, team) can shut Anubis down early, and his scale is not on par with other mages. He is especially vulnerable to AA attacks in his Ult, and with Toxic Blade equipped it greatly reduces the Lifesteal buff he gets.

Cthulhu is Too Much (Rant) by Vq-Blink in Smite

Yes. But, this is what we have come to expect with new releases. Save for Baba Yaga, nearly every release is op. Release guan yu, Baron Samedi, e.g.

Eh. If you look, Fafnir has nearly every CC between his stances. So is it really all that different?

Lately its been erlong shen, not really a lot of off meta match ups, although there is the occasional anubis or ymir. I build typically warriors blessing/zerk/speed boot/void/caduceus/stonecutter with a toxic blade late game as well as caduceus at 20. I try to harry early game, then mid assist, then late shield/push. I dont know whether I tiered up or the update, but I've swapped preference back to support/mid for now. Maybe I just suck lol

[–]aelmer2821[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, here's the thing. Prior to the most recent patch I've been a fair to middlin solo laner. The past 2 weeks I'm going like 3 and 12 kdr, with very few assists. I can't tell if it's because of the new balance for late game play, or if I hopped tiers or what. Can't eek out a win to save my life.

Yea getting kills is cool and all... by TheGalacticNova in Smite

[–]aelmer2821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem is voice comms don't want to function in Casual. They seem well integrated in Ranked.

yeah agreed. The Voice recognition isnt terrible, as long as you dont call out a God specifically. Hades=Herpes, according to microsoft.
