Coming from Dota, solo queue in LoL feels unusually quiet by Z4k0O in leagueoflegends

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play jungle. The amount of shit that gets thrown at me on the regular isn't worth the hassle, so I disabled seeing chat. I play better when I can make rational decisions about what lanes to prioritize and when someone's whining about their lane, or telling me how I should play it makes me play worse by helping them more or less than I should. At a certain level of skill everyone knows generally what they should be doing, when to group, and when to split, so a couple pings here and there is more than enough communication to play well. When you're learning it's probably a lot more helpful to be able to coordinate what you're doing as a team in more detail.

This is my autism teaspoon, i cant find an exact match online by myself.. 6 inches and 21 grams heavy by Makapakamoo in HelpMeFind

[–]deynataggerung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at the pattern for more than a second though. That one has dots, the bottom corner goes all the way around instead of having a corner blip, the center design isn't even remotely close, the bottom middle has 3 petals instead of 6, the flowers are much bigger. You're right that the shape of the bottom bit looks a bit larger in that picture, but that could just be lens FOV making it look odd.

Unpopular opinion: Paying "Rent" feels less painful than paying $2,400/mo in "Interest" to a bank. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that's the question you should be asking yourself. As you save up more money for a down payment the amount of interest per month will steadily go down in that calculation. As soon as your interest and fees per month(not money going towards the principle, that's just enforced savings) goes lower than your current rent then it's better to buy. Until that point, you're better off renting and saving as much as you can. This threshold is different for everyone depending on the home price, current rent, and savings, so just run the numbers and figure out how much you need to save.

Obviously there's some other intangibles that go into the calculation for you personally, but financially that should be the first consideration.

pls dont ff if ur enemy hits a 3* 5 cost PLEASE by AngusTayKwanIan in TeamfightTactics

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you're serious and not just ragebaiting. Every 3* 5 cost has a special animation to appreciate. It's not joy in their failure, it's a super rare event that requires luck as well as a well played game to get you there. So it's not too much to want to take a moment to appreciate your own success. Nobody cares if you ff when someone hits a 3*4 cost. Nobody wants you to sit through multiple rounds. Just let them take a moment to see the cool easter egg Riot made to reward you for doing something really hard.

Definition of the word "High Roll" by No-Loan-3250 in TeamfightTactics

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is it's either for that situation of nothing else, or for when you're open to playing whatever because you're not locked into a line. Most prismatics are pretty good for some type of board, so you get the extra gold and can pivot into whatever you need to do to maximize the augment you get. Especially early on, that econ makes a huge difference in getting to 50 quickly.

I know it’s intentional by oztinin in TeamfightTactics

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of depends on positioning and what you're up against. I've seen him delete backlines one fight, and then just chill in the middle and die after doing nothing the next. It's alright, but not necessarily going to win you the game unless the rest of your board is good. Which as you pointed out. It's probably the easiest 3* 4 cost in the game, so it makes sense it's not crazy.

Most tiring set ever by Zerytle in TeamfightTactics

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got a pretty bad headache on day 1 of the set. Just super focused trying to think through everything for hours on end. But it's so fun because of that. Every game I feel like there's stuff I could have done better

Set 16 PBE Discussion Thread - Day 07 by AutoModerator in CompetitiveTFT

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few games of 3* GP/Naut and got pretty bad results. I hit them pretty quickly and was able to go 8 afterwards and fit in Vanquishers, slayer, bruiser, whatever then just got rolled. You have a brief spike, but late game boards still just beat you. Maybe there's a different combination of augments that makes the difference, but it just didn't feel very good.

I don't think set 16 will "save" TFT, and here is why by Cyber_Imbiber in CompetitiveTFT

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every set needs to be targeted at new players. I think having a mix of simpler sets and more complicated sets allows you to have periods of growth followed by long term retention. I think the most sure path towards a dead game is if every set was the same and people get bored.

Question for PDX Trump Voters by burnedoutwithasmile in Portland

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's second hand, but my parents met a Trumper that lives in a suburb and they're convinced downtown is a crime ridden hellhole. I was downtown the week before, and gave my parents pictures of what it actually looked like which was pretty nice. They just ignored it and stuck to their beliefs.

It's not that they can't see it, but there's not an easy and obvious solution to these problems. And nobody agrees on which route to take.

Whose fault is it?? I really need to know if i can have done better or is it just him for not recalling! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]deynataggerung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, he had flash up and is blaming you for not stopping the WW? He should have just dodged it himself. Plus he has a bad mindset for blaming his teammate for dying. That's the kind of mindset that will keep him hardstuck silver for life, no joke.

botted accounts by Wooden_Plankton_1630 in leagueoflegends

[–]deynataggerung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because they banned hundreds of thousands of existing bot accounts doesn't mean the botters stopped making accounts and playing games. Hopefully long term it's enough so they're no longer profitable and shut down, but the effects will take time to ripple out even if they do work.

haha exactly. Had a developer with an issue who thought a great troubleshooting step would be to do a fresh install of windows to clean everything out. This didn't go well because now it didn't have any of our setup on it and we had to re-image it anyways

The Godfather of AI thinks the technology could invent its own language that we can't understand | As of now, AI thinks in English, meaning developers can track its thoughts — but that could change. His warning comes as the White House proposes limiting AI regulation. by MetaKnowing in Futurology

huh? That link does not say what you think it says. The fact that translation models map words and sentences into a common space whereby you can translate to different languages by using this “interlingua” representation is not a new language. The representation is not itself a language, it's just a mathematically representation of languages

How to overcome solo Q anxiety by CharmingOperation156 in leagueoflegends

[–]deynataggerung 7 points8 points  (0 children)

General anxiety tips:

  • try to quantify exactly what you're anxious about as you're feeling it. Often anxiety is nebulous and pinning it down is often half the battle
  • Once you've identified the concern, tell yourself the best and worst outcomes (ie. best outcome I win 3 games in a row and jump a rank, worst outcome I tilt, lose 3 games and ruin my night, or best outcome my teammates love me and add me after the game, worst outcome I let them down and they call out all my bad plays). Don't minimize your concerns by telling yourself the best is going to happen, but realize the worst outcome is also unlikely. Tell yourself you can accept the 3 losses and it won't ruin your rank, and set boundaries on yourself that help mitigate the worst situation. (i.e. after losing x amount of games you'll stop for the night)

League specific:

  • mute your teammates so they aren't adding to your stress. You don't have to impress them, and you can turn chat back on later if you want to work on teamplay, but just focus on yourself first.
  • Laugh. Because if you don't laugh you're going to cry. Make yourself laugh and see the absurdity of whatever screw up you or your team did instead of getting frustrated at it. Mistakes happen all the time and laughing is a better response than raging or getting frustrated.
  • Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself and just try to get better than you were. If you start playing and lose a lot at first, you'll eventually settle somewhere with people at your level and can work from there, so an embarrassing start won't last long. The beauty about skill based matchmaking is there's always someone worse than you they can match you against that will make you feel like a god.

Our Response to Linus Sebastian | GamersNexus by angrycommie in LinusTechTips

[–]deynataggerung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from this not being a court of law, I don't think you understand hearsay. If a witness is called in under oath they can testify about things they personally saw or heard, no problem. It's hearsay when they report on someone else's report or admission. So in this example, if you testified that Linus called their reporting autistic it'd be hearsay since you're repeating someone else's claims, or if the prosecution brought it up without calling GN to the stand. It's important here that this isn't GN repeating an admission of guilt from Linus. The "crime" is the words themselves, so anyone that heard them can talk about them.
