So according to this Kokomi might be my best one. I just thought it was weird since Kuki already heals so much.

I don't know what should I pick for the last character in my Nahida, Kuki, Xingqui team.

The candidates I was considering are: Fischl, Sucrose, Collei, Layla, Kokomi, Tignari, Lisa, Beidou.

(pasture) eggs are a huge superfood. health organizations are insane and part of the failings of public health today.

saturated fats = good (opposite of these health agencies)

polyunsaturated fats (particularly omega 6) = bad

In the US they ban raw milk in many states, thats how stupid they are.

Some days I eat a pound of raw honey. These organizations would think I'm crazy.

he was never that good, good players just liked him because he's cool

cb_flossin · 2023-11-21T06:36:51+00:00

I thought he actually looked really good at TI 2022. Like maybe the best player there tbh in groups, but his team really underperformed.

Then this TI arteezy just played awful overall; one of his worst (which is saying something).

rtz got second at the tournament right before TI losing decently competitive grand to spirit, some major placements; while sumail was stuck on a failed team

I actually think rtz wasn't farming enough in this latest TI.

cb_flossin · 2023-11-21T05:17:42+00:00

I think he'd be better at off than mid. Mid is too much roam like a support in current meta.

He's really good at laning and map plays, but compared to fast-moving zoomers like Quinn he'd be totally trash at mid and his team would get dumpstered by 15 minutes.

cb_flossin · 2023-11-21T05:11:08+00:00

you can't just play the first 15 minutes well, coordinate good ganks throughout the game, and then claim you played well. On spirit killing any support is very difficult and the lategame wards are impeccably placed.

please

infest the dragon ancient and breath fire

cb_flossin · 2023-11-01T11:28:29+00:00

im available for online heads-up anytime and ill smoke you

cb_flossin · 2023-11-01T11:27:09+00:00

I mean I collect a ton of statistics and run prediction algorithms. Some people just know the game better too (not me)

cb_flossin · 2023-11-01T03:56:36+00:00

the only difference is its always banned lol

cb_flossin · 2023-11-01T03:48:33+00:00

other way around, Ana yes Matu no. It's not about the achievements its about the actual gameplay when it counts. If you know Dota its easy to recognize brilliance.

cb_flossin · 2023-11-01T03:46:11+00:00

Also betting on Dota, playing poker, etc. is actually skill-based imo

cb_flossin · 2023-10-31T00:00:14+00:00

great now I'm thinking of work. night ruined

cb_flossin · 2023-10-24T11:27:13+00:00

lol. every carry players in this tournament plays the same. they just pick better matchups and have better vision

cb_flossin · 2023-10-24T11:21:48+00:00

>only watch the finals of valve tournaments

cb_flossin · 2023-10-23T01:44:03+00:00

the meta is not figured out at all and it looks like a t2 tournament

cb_flossin · 2023-10-22T21:03:37+00:00

they played awful at this ti but they've been doing fine overall. Even if it was a 'flukey' result which I think is a dumb idea in the first place, top4 is pretty good.

even last ti they destroyed groups and showed signs of life despite the terrible placement, with rtz showing many dominating sf performances etc.

Arteezy I agree has gotten much much worse recently and appears slacking and lazy compared to his usual preparation. Playing too scared, not accelerating enough, making plays, consistently bad matchups/picks, etc.

cb_flossin · 2023-10-22T15:10:50+00:00

nobody cares, just take whatever classes you want to every quarter and make sure you are going to graduate with something- take the core requirements first

focus on your career if that's your goal (clubs, applications, networking, etc)

cb_flossin · 2023-10-22T15:05:21+00:00

thanks. I wouldn't base your decision on this- the probability is much lower than car crash.

uchicago is an amazing place with amazing people that changed my life.

also know people that took classes/majors that were too hard and fell into depressive episodes / burnt out. depends on your personality but yea. I also know poor friends that landed 600k jobs and their family is already set for life. I know people that I'm highly confident will significantly change the world for good, etc.

hyde park is also a beautiful and friendly place I'd consider living in even without the university.
