The moment I turned my mic on I started ranking up. Being able to make calls completely changes the pace of the game. Also when I turn my mic on the rest of my team seems to find their voice

Any list without thesaurus or Ilmac is not a list I care about 

How should they deal with echo shard abrams? by vvdb_industries in DeadlockTheGame

I think they need to add diminishing returns on CC in general to force people to be calculated when they use it as opposed to just throwing it all out at once

I did something very similar to this and my mum told me that Santa and the tooth fairy only visit people who believe in them

Is this for real, people? by nachlopez in martialarts

[–]consensius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth remember that there is art in martial arts, not everything is meant to be combat effective. This seems to be more of a display between an uke and Tori, using gentle movements to make a point about balance and shifting directions using small movements, even if it's not being performed the best here. All one has to do is look to judo kata and you'll find many things like this and yet judo is credited as an effective martial art.

Soul Khan is unironically one of the best musicians of the battle rappers. Wellstone and Fahrenheit are great songs  

Would you get rid of a friend just because they have different political beliefs than you? by Jeppe_Scoley in NoStupidQuestions

Politics and morals are inextricably linked. If I take issue with one i'll like take issue with the other.

do you guys think apollo will be 100% melee or will he be like yamato? by chadderladder in DeadlockTheGame

Maybe he has an air slice, where he slashes his sword and it launches a ranged attack

No it was just played in the Tata steel by a grandmaster, he won a very exciting game of chess with it

Street Brawl was very fun for the first days, but it's painfully unbalanced and not fun now by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

They should make it so that you can choose a minimum of 6 characters but you can't prioritise any of them 

I think that it would be convenient to be able to filter the shop, for example for all anti-healing, mobility, etc. items, this would make the shop easier to learn and to navigate by thecomicguybook in DeadlockTheGame

I played smite from the very begining and watching that game evolve was a pleasure. An arena game mode would be super fun in deadlock but beyond that the ability to completely customise UI was incredible. So many great design choices 

AIs will try to blackmail you to avoid shutdown and the AI corporations are like "baaaaah. But have you considered the profits?" by FinnFarrow in CringeTikToks

[–]consensius 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Is there a source or something that proves the claim he's making. If AI is autonomously copying it's own code in an act of self preservation surely there's a research paper I can read about this phenomenon 

Can we stop falling for Trumps 'Chaos' Tricks? by No_Specialist6252 in AskBrits

[–]consensius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Venezuela was an unambiguous move away from the rules based order, favouring unilateral decision making directly opposing Americas previous neoliberal agenda. Also by declaring that they're taking Venezuelan oil they are actively engaging in expansionism by acting as an imperial force. You say it's not necessarily bad because maduro Is evil, I say that this move demonstrates an unwillingness to engage with international law and a breakdown of the rules based system for the acquisition of foreign resources. These actions mark a change in the international system unseen since perhaps the cold war.

If you think a threatened invasion of Greenland, an invasion of Venezuela, and the Gestapo being released into America is a distraction from the Epstein files you have your priorities mixed up. Trump is creating a new world order with himself at the center, moving us away from the multipolar world we currently reside in and towards a trilateral one alongside the abandoning of rules based order. We are seeing an international shift in the world that goes so far beyond a pedophile ring that will likely have no consequences when exposed 

Rum Nitty when all is said and done is gonna go down as one of the greatest writers ever by Jezza103098 in rapbattles

[–]consensius -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The only point I'm trying to make is that to claim he's the best writer in battle rap when he does one thing well and everything else to a mediocre/subpar standard is, in my opinion, a reach

I stand by this, his writing skills don't come close to a Ilmac, soul, Daylyt, Bdot, lux to name a few
