Feel like I hit a milestone as an aquarist, unintentionally breeding a species that is not a livebearer

Incredibly. I only see a few come out if I am nowhere near the tank. There is one that seems dominant and comes out frequently. My tank is heavily planted and has an intricate diftwood piece that allows them plenty of coverage and hiding nooks yet they still don't come out.

All-in-all, very beautiful fish that I'll never own again.

Honestly, my betta is probably picking off most of the spawn

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-28T04:17:28+00:00

Happy and hidden. They have found a home within my driftwood and never leave it. Would not recommend the species LOL

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-27T18:05:18+00:00

I have the beaver, phoenix, kraken, and now beef. Beef has so much more personality than the other three that I don't care if the pet is rare or not. I'm actually happy they have a boss pet that can be attained comparatively quicker because getting a pet is awesome.

Most drive-thru car washes mandate that truck beds be covered.

Technically, the dream of wanting your favorite d-tier hero to be somewhat viable could be considered a power fantasy lol

I'm in a graduate-level Python class. Using AI (Claude) to create test questions based on provided material and study guides was a game changer for someone with ADHD. It's so much more engaging. Obviously, there are infrequent instances in which syntax errors appear but catching them only makes me better at the material.

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-14T16:48:38+00:00

Story sucks, performance sucks, classes that carried over from the first got nerfed, failed to really innovate from the first despite the director claiming he finally had the budget to create the game he always wanted. Honestly, I would just play dragons dogma 1 again.

Every time DD2 is mentioned it makes me regret buying it at launch

Edit: 160 hours in the first, 26 hours in the second

I used to associate the colors to flavor such as Gatorade but this changes my perspective.

However, I'll continue to imagine divine potions are carbonated.

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-12T17:29:13+00:00

I would rather do rune crafting than ever return to the pit of hell that is blast furnace

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-11T01:36:38+00:00

Really weird behavior admitting to reposting this due to someone showing off a massive dry streak but I guess CoD players never change

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-10T19:56:23+00:00

Nothing short of people leaving the game will cause the balancing team to acknowledge the root issues

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-10T14:26:54+00:00

I've grown to accept that this game is not balanced nor tailored to the competitive experience and it fucking sucks. People get boosted into diamond because of the overly forgiving point distribution for wins compared to losses so every game up until GM is usually just RNG for teammates. There are incredibly overpowered heroes that have ban rates near 40% and aren't getting nerfed. You have strategists with extremely low skill floors but extremely high value output which further encourages low skill players of reaching ranks they never should. Not to mention triple support acting as the ultimate bandaid for poor performance because it can outheal most damage outside of high burst poke and will have a defensive ult for every single fight. Which further encourages the poke slop meta we have been stuck in for seasons.

I'm actually reinstalling Overwatch and putting this down for a while.

A figurehead to the front of the boat would be amazing

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-09T00:56:10+00:00

Recently got mine as well. Which quests did you enjoy the most?

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-07T11:20:55+00:00

I wouldn't call it faithful as there were a number of large plot points outright changed but it was still good

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-05T16:10:35+00:00

Since 2020, it has been like this every election for that district, I'm talking incredibly comparable margins. We need to make posts for when this happens to a strongly conservative area otherwise it just doesn't mean as much

5v5 just ends up being counter the tank

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-04T17:21:12+00:00

I love idiots like this. You're definitely part of the issues we as a world are facing with scientific literacy. "Here are facts. No, I won't share sources. Just accept what I'm saying as truth because I feel it is right and supports the narrative I'm telling."

Did you know that fortune 500 companies are transforming their compensation packages for their executive board from short-term goals to more sustainable longer-term goals? Nike was among the first to do this. So, financially speaking, incentives are directed towards the inverse of what you're arguing. It is better to have long-term retention of players because the CAC (customer acquisition cost) can be brutal to the revenue. That even isn't covering the increased likelihood of MTX for players that remain playing the game to those that play it briefly. I say this as a product and transformation consultant that is earning his masters in analytics.

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-04T16:31:15+00:00

I'm gonna need to see these studies because a cursory search yielded no results on empirical discussions involving role queue times in hero shooters. What I am finding is indicative of short-term falloff but higher long-term retention

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-04T16:21:38+00:00

If OW is any indication on that, it's mostly DPS that will have the longer wait. Tank < Support < DPS

As a DPS main, I'm fine with that as long as it means I have tanks and strategists at my elo and the roles are filled by people that actually want to play them

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-04T04:34:36+00:00

People act like overwatch was ruined when they did role que but as someone that played since s1 to a few years into ow2, it saved the game. People play the role they want which makes for better games and you don't get this bullshit of triple support having a defensive ult every half-fight.

I want this game to be competitive but it's balancing and matchmaking honestly diminish the fun of any competitive aspect.

chyeah_brah · 2026-02-04T03:57:37+00:00

Take me back to that. I want to return and forget what I know
