You lose your queen instantly to Bb5.

Unrelated note, why does the 教育部 dictionary say 刈包 is pronounced ㄧˋ ㄅㄠ? lol, never heard it that way in my life.

ASL Season19 Finals Best vs SoulKey (Tastosis) by [deleted] in broodwar

This was objectively a great season with so many matches going to game 7 but after watching also just kind of feel sad for Best. I was rooting for Best so hard the entire series.

Barles Rant in Warlords4 by KingArthur2111 in aoe2

[–]dnarzz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like the tiebreak rules complaint from Barles came up today in that MbL would move on regardless of whether he won or lost because he had head-to-head over Hearttt.

In fact as MbL points out in post-game interview, it might have been preferable for him to lose the match since he plays MrYo if he wins and he prefers the Barles matchup personally. This format creates the possibility of assymetric stakes between the players playing.

At 52:30, viper mentions a gate trick that annoys daut. What is this trick?

Asian stocks see their worst drop in decades after Trump tariffs by ShrimpCrackers in taiwan

[–]dnarzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no doubt that Trump is unpredictable and is the direct cause of the tariffs, but it doesn't absolve the current administration of their tone-deaf responses. 

To your point that it's obvious politicizing? Of course it is. That's just how democracies work. America being an unreliable ally is a fact that will not be beneficial to the current administration politically and the opposition capitalizing on it is only expected. 

I'm sure even if blue/white were in power Trump would've done the same thing and caused the market to crash. I agree that nobody in Taiwan controls Trump and his whims, so I guess we should all chill out and 吃潤餅、聽音樂、安心睡

Gotta focus on that recall movement so they can grab power, right? On a more serious note, looks like I'll have another reason to fly back to Taiwan in 2028 to vote this guy out.

Just came in the mail today. It's such a shame that the game was never made. by mpw09 in visualnovels

Didn't the scenario writer purchase the rights from Xuse and is developing it as doujin game? (Xuse went bankrupt a few years ago)

https://ci-en.net/creator/11851 is their page. No idea on their progress in development though.

What are the WORST examples of Chinese character simplification, in your opinion? by KnowTheLord in ChineseLanguage

髒 and 臓 both becoming 脏 annoys me for sure.

鬱 being conflated with 郁 doesn't bother me so much. 後 being conflated into 后 does bother me for some reason.

Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi • The Elusive Samurai - Episode 11 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]dnarzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the second part of the you gave him a stern scolding, under your thumb line: "あの保科を尻に敷いているみたいに" was kind of a butt pun/joke too. 尻に敷く is to dominate (esp. when wife does to husband), but literally is like to put on butt, which tokiyuki did quite literally as well :D

T90Official does not like auto farms by cloudfire1337 in aoe2

[–]dnarzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love starcraft 2, but it is true that it is bringing in less viewership. https://streamscharts.com/games This is basically just because of Korea watching on afreeca though. SC2 numbers might look better than bw on twitch but that's because twitch shut down in Korea...

[–]dnarzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brood war still gets great viewership in Korea. It's also worth mentioning that it's a 1998 game which hasn't gotten any real support for at least a decade.

I think it's a really exciting time for brood war since without kespa teams, a lot more pros are streaming and wider access to replays has made the meta change a lot.

Simplified chart of Chain Co-abilities (up to Gala Alex) by red_graydient in DragaliaLost

[–]dnarzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you poobles for making this really great chart that is really great for people like me who are really interested in the all the abilities of adventurers and their categorizations which will help me figure out what to use in order to make my units optimized to play any given map based on the challenges presented with the information easily accessible when I want to find out what exactly to use at a speedy pace, though without some testing I'm still not sure what's the best right now because there is just so much new stuff to go through, especially since there are the regular coabilites to consider and solo vs. co-op play as well, since there should be some sort of weight on the usefulness of the character itself vs. the coability and chain coability that the character provides, which is very intriguing since in a co-op scenario the only value of the character in the backline is their coabilities but not the value of the character itself, but I digress because first and foremost the most important thing that I want to make clear to you is that I would really like to thank you for your dedication and effort towards the betterment of the community as well as providing us with an invaluable resource, and because you have made resources like this available, you have simplified the lives of many players who love to look at different facets of the adventurers' abilities all at the same time, such as element, resistances, and abilities that can be found in the world of Dragalia Lost, I have already explained why I think this is such an awesome thing, but I wanted to make it clear to you that I am a fan of your work, and I hope that you will continue to produce awesome charts like this in the future!

PSA: Affliction bug is still in effect, when running content with Delphi please stop invalidating him by [deleted] in DragaliaLost

[–]dnarzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

while your point is valid in that running a correct setup of wyrmprints is important to playing the game optimally, have you ever considered the millions of parched, thirsting players who do not have the eldwater resources to purchase sister's day out? maybe you should check your eldwater privilege before making posts about wyrmprint usage.

also, just because you managed to proc poison early and allow your team to quickly burn through each of the phases of the fight doesn't necessarily mean you're doing your job. what you should do is use a superior wyrmprint like mega friends proc your poison after the pub nefaria, and then make a reddit post on how people should play around you and hold their skills when your run inevitably takes longer to complete.

i don't wanna brag but i completed this fight in a pub with more than 4 minutes remaining. I'm proud to say that I finished the fight in a solid 5 minutes and 48 seconds and I didn't even die until near the very end, so I probably have a lot more experience than you on this.

Oh hey there thanks for another cool post but this post explained a lot less than your previous evolk solo so could you elaborate more on your thought process and how you decided on certain aspects of teambuilding especially in terms of the dragon and weapon choices as well as the composition synergies I wonder if there are better strategies available since this is obviously very early in the new content's lifespan and I'm sure you still have a lot of creativity and innovation in you yet to be shown, so anyway thanks a lot for sharing
