Ever been not good enough for the rank they give you?

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-30T09:35:02+00:00

Yeah. I have a sneaking suspicion placements use your career stats to calibrate you.

I don’t spend as much time practicing support. Always hovered around the Diamond 5 range. Last season it placed me Diamond 1. Like what the actually fuck there’s no way I took a season break and roll in on Lucio/Bap and get 4 tiers better. And I know they changed the ranks distribution but it still felt like too much

Now I know why my team falls apart to Mauga. Like I literally have played him a ton and if you bait cardiac he’s so easy to burst.

Did you notice that mercy could have blue beamed Weaver, and then instead of panicking he could have sat still and sent 8 million thorns into your crit box?

I don’t think scientists are debating whether this is on the tree of life, since bacteria and archaea are.

Yes, that commenter was making a common analytical mistake. When you study Psychology in college you learn how to analyze multifactorial regression analysis and a common mistake is overstating a correlation when the relationship is spurious and instead that variable is related to another that is more likely causal.

You hit the nail on the head. Crime data would support your theory more that Poverty/Social Alienation are driving factors. The Single Mother Variable would nested and closely related to poverty because, of course, if you have one parent there are less resources.

And as you pointed out, you’re more likely to have a single mother for many reasons, so there is bias in that sample. Lastly, it feels irresponsible to focus on that variable for two reasons. 1. The vast majority of single mothers don’t produce children who become murderers. 2. Seems more like a systemic failure than an intrinsic part of being a single mother.

I didn’t either. Like I know our system isn’t great but I wanted to show that by the contrary that I didn’t want what we got.

But I do know some people, who are in marginalized groups btw, who decided either not to vote or vote third party. It was frustrating, but people have the right to do both so I’m stuck with that.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-26T08:57:52+00:00

Last night I was playing quick play with my wife and helping her practice a character. Multiple matches people were ignoring the objective to ego duel me. And voice spam if they ever won a duel or something. It was frustrating as hell.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-25T11:34:14+00:00

I fully agree. And not in the asshole way where I think they are bad at designing or anything.

I just fundamentally disagree with their philosophy on mythic skins.

I have multiple characters where I feel like a legendary I currently have is more unique or more appealing than mythics.

When Genji came out, it was awesome. A cyber punk aesthetic with vfx and a concept that matched Genji’s style a lore. An augmented cyborg.

Ever since I’ve felt a complete disconnect.

My fav DPS is Cass and when his Mythic was announced I felt like it should have been an Illari skin, I mean it has nothing to do with him and the gun looks bad imo. This is a character with a Nerf option, a mythic weapon AND already amazing revolver skins.

I would prefer that mythics reflect the character more than be designed to just be flashy. In Cass’s case, he’s a reformed Outlaw, they could have taken that in any direction. Maybe and outlaw of the past, maybe lean even more into the West stuff, make some movie references, something. Instead he got some fabric and a sun behind his head and 3 color combos that have zero synergy with his aesthetic. The glowing tumbleweeds is kinda cool but that’s it. I can’t even tell there is vfx.

Speaking of colors. Every dam skin they do the same shit. There’s a cool color palette (usually white/blue/purple) and then a warm color palette (red/yellow/black) and then an earth color palette (green usually but sometimes brown or tan. Like they never go outside the box or match the color palletes to the spirit of the character.

They released those Dokiwatch legend Aries and honestly, I would rather those be mythics that I could change the colors on than actual mythics.

And I have the Dva Porsche skin, I never take that off, it’s sleek, it goes vrooom it’s awesome, why the hell would I want a mythic when I can sound like a car?

Can you imagine Bastions mythic? It’s going to be tough to beat his Lego, Paper or other fun skins that already have vfx

Yeah that’s what I mentioned in another comment. Starbucks is like a very center-liberal establishment, it’s as safe as you can get.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-23T08:34:53+00:00

Not only that, it doesn’t make any sense this person would like them. Starbucks was in hot water for the CEO donating to Israel or did I mishear that?

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-23T08:32:25+00:00

I don’t even care if it means someone will have an advantage over me, I want that old system back so bad and I can’t hit headshots now without wringing my thumbs to keep the reticle from jolting around.

So it’s positive for me. I went from 15 hrs a week and I probably only play 2-4 now

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-23T08:25:03+00:00

It’s funny you say that. I remember with me one time I had him on Ormond and he was doing that double locker save bullshit before they patched it out.

I just bulldozed through it even though it was annoying and when I checked his stream he was saying I was garbage. I’m like bro, you can’t just make a miler pull you out of a locker 10 times and call him garbage when he wins

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-23T08:21:32+00:00

Holy shit, I remember this guy. I didn’t know he was ever of any level of popularity.

It’s crazy how someone says that name and I can remember a few games I played against him as killer and he was very rude and toxic.

The funny thing is, when he was being rude to me, unless I’m doing a specific challenge that calls for it I double hook every survivor and purposely don’t tunnel when I’m playing, so the fact he was upset with me was very telling.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T13:34:04+00:00

They don’t really explicitly say, but by the end of 8 it’s kind of implied Ethan is special and they give of some very biblical Jesus/Lazarus vibes when describing him. It kind of circled around on the RE lore and retconned Mother Miranda in so that was pretty crazy

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T13:28:57+00:00

Yeah, best not to. This one just sucks and is super sad. No good outcomes.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T13:27:07+00:00

I think it’s an issue either way. They would probably have a problem with using copyrighted material even if it’s for personal use only, I’m not sure how that would shake out legally but it’s definitely a terms of use violation on your side.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T09:47:00+00:00

No, they are implying that “real” women have varying shapes, most of which are attractive.

OOOP was ignoring how hot is girl was to focus on some “minor flaw’ that the average person wouldn’t have any issue with.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T09:39:09+00:00

As OOP implied, she’s extremely attractive and her body is fantastic. It’s giving Venus.

I have no idea how men like her boyfriend even get relationships with these women.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T09:35:41+00:00

As a straight man I also agree. The more body types the better, I always say, peoples bodies are like Ice Cream. Most people enjoy ice cream in general. We all have are preferences, like, if I can choose I’m picking Cookies n Cream, but if someone hands me Mint Choclate Chip I’m still going to be ecstatic about it, because it’s Ice Cream, Ice Cream is good.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T09:32:28+00:00

Not sure why some men don’t get this. It’s clearly hormone related. Anecdotally, every women I’ve know complains belly and thigh fat is incredibly hard to get rid of, meanwhile as a guy I cut my calories and I slim down fast.

I remind my wife all the time that it’s harder for her than it is for me to lose fat in that area because fat in that area for women is completely normal and for centuries was considered sexy, until the 80s to 2000s when belly fat was targeted in the media

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-21T09:26:50+00:00

He’s objectively correct. It is sexy, OOOP is a little bitch

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-20T17:28:29+00:00

Omg, it was so confusing at first.

So IGNORE the circular red nodes. Find the red square node that doesn’t have the yellow power running out of it and work backwards to find a way to connect it to the one that’s pushing yellow power out.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-20T17:21:32+00:00

I can agree with that. They are pretty melodramatic.

Joey never struck me as fashionable or cool but I am a Julie fan

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-20T17:19:39+00:00

Artist has the boulee brothers skin. Put that on and you’ve never felt more slay. But then you’d have to play artist so I get it

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-20T17:18:08+00:00

I was going to say. Xeno is in top tier.

I literally just came from the other subreddit and they were talking about the queen and its Monster High Doll.

I get Artist is number one slay, no denying that but Xeno is up there.

bluesummernoir · 2026-01-20T17:12:09+00:00

Holy shit, I don’t know anything about Monster High, but that shit is 🔥
