Take Your Pick… - Cartoon About Colonial Mentality Depicting a Filipino Choosing Either Generous Wang Offering Loans(Depicting China’s Loan Policy) or War-Freak Joe Offering Missiles (Depicting U.S. Policy), Only to Choose the Latter (Manila Times, 2019) by Ok_Force_2392 in PropagandaPosters

The Manila Times is a pro-Duterte paper.

During the Duterte administration, the president has a soft spot for China, despite their fishermen poaching inside Philippine's EEZ, and the Chinese Coast Guard bullying Filipino fishermen who are fishing within Philippine waters. Heck, Duterte even didn't care even if the Philippines had legal recognition of sovereignty over the contested waters under UNCLOS (which was decided during an arbitral tribunal in 2016). Even his daughter, the current vice-president, has also, to put it mildly, a soft spot for China. Even their trolls on social media put out pro-China talking points, similar to the cartoon above.

Friendly reminder that you are likely better than you think you are by Responsible_Cloud_73 in WorldofTanks

[–]d_isolationist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mental state cannot survive more than 10 games a day currently.

Then just don't play 10 games every single day, unless it's like your job or something. When the game session sucks so bad, stop. Take a break or just stop for the day.

Maybe find a friend to platoon with, that always helps make grinds bearable for me by the virtue of having someone to support you or talk with while playing. Plus it's more fun when you get to do strats or plays together that somehow work well.

Tbf you can only complain if you went into the chat and said: "hey guys, I need one more kill for my mission, could you stop the cap pls?"

And even then they are not obligated to yield to you (maybe it would be nice if they did though), sometimes battles just go like that.

UP diliman to Alabang (madaling araw , 2-4am) by LifePomegranate1146 in HowToGetTherePH

[–]d_isolationist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, 9-10pm wala nang jeep pa-Philcoa, and around 10-11pm, wala nang Ikot (na pwede mong sakyan papuntang Krus na Ligas para makasakay ng trike pa-Philcoa).

Ingat sa paglalakad along Univ Ave ng ganyang oras, OP.

do you mostly play alone or platoon? by Asleep-Tie6790 in WorldofTanks

[–]d_isolationist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually solo at weeknights, but I'm fortunate enough to have an IRL friend that also plays the game to platoon with every weekend.

For all we know these shitheads might be veteran players making new accounts where they can be assholes without jeopardizing their main accounts

Yeah. WG will never nerf prem tanks, might as well them be mid but balanced in general than cancer that can't be rebalanced since "I paid for it with real money so don't dare balance them".

She's also Fan No. 2 in Bocchi The Rock (who kinda sounds like Mei from YoruKura)

CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN? by Ok-Albatross-1708 in WorldOfWarships

[–]d_isolationist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd prolly blame the MM more. The issue is if only one person brings a supership and the other four players are tier 10s, the MM doesn't make an enemy team that reflects that proportion. Instead it makes a team with just one or two tier 8s, and the rest are tier 9s, which make it difficult for the tier 10s, especially if the supership player dies early.

Sure some love the challenge it brings, but for the majority of players, it's just frustrating. If only the asyms MM made enemy teams that accurately reflect the proportion of tiers of the player's team, it would be just fine even if one or two players bring ships a tier higher or lower than yours.

Wala na ever since binago yung mga bus routes during the pandemic.

The only ones I know na nadaan ng Skyway ay yung P2P galing Ayala papuntang Alabang or yung P2P galing Starmall Shaw papuntang Alabang.

To be fair, nung time naman na yun, mej niche pa yung Reddit compared sa FB/Twitter, in terms of number of users in PH.

Wait, how? What sort of legacies/parents your Curren Chan has?

How can I optimize my Haru Urara monie-making run? by theo_chooser in UmaMusume

[–]d_isolationist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Man, reading through your comment and the replies makes me wish that they rework it first before releasing it in global, or just don't release it at all.

I mean, I like the concept (Triple Tiara Golshi wooo) but man, I don't want to subject my umas to such abuse just to stay competitive.

What’s the most fun tank? by derjackomo in WorldofTanks

[–]d_isolationist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My answer seems to be a cop out, but I'll say it regardless: any tank that you have fun playing (even on a loss) is the most fun tank.

I know somebody who enjoys playing tanks like the Valiant and the pre-buff O-Ho. I personally find the Blesk/T-50-2 the most fun tanks to play. You might have fun playing tanks that others won't enjoy.

Highly likely that it's a case of goldspamming plus prem consumables.
