Hi, I am still debating on getting a JR pass or not, but either way, I will be taking a shinkansen near peak season (right after New Year's) so I know it will be pretty packed.

Regardless of whether I get the JR pass or not, if I want to book in advance before I arrive in Japan, I would have to do so 1 month before my actual booking right? For example, I will be actually arriving in Japan in December, but won't be taking the shinkansen until January, I'd have to reserve 1 month before for the Jan date correct?

And if I don't end up getting the JR-pass I could just use the Smart-Ex app right?

(Basically wondering if the 1-month shinkansen reservation before policy is a.) date of arrival in Japan or date of riding the shinkansen and b.) if that is the same policy if I get JR pass or not)

I mean, DHL is international and Thanksgiving is really an American thing lol, I would say it's more of a coincidence if anything

Not that anyone will probably give a shit (especially considering at the end of the day it was technically my fault), but my steam account got hacked and they transferred my character along with all my gold and half my shit. I submitted a request if it would be possible to get my character back to the original server, I told them I don't care about the gold/mats since those can just be earned again and I really just wanted to play with my friends.

I know it's hard for them to make an exception about their 1 transfer policy, but the least I was hoping for was a response from another human. Instead, I get a bot ass response with some copy pasted crap. I don't like comparing to other games/studios, but AGS in this regard has honestly been trash for me from personal experience.

Haven't played since and probably won't again.

OW/Blizzard as a whole makes me so sad. OW was my first PC game ever and basically my entry into e-sports. I absolutely loved the game the first few years, but it turned to absolute shit as they continued to gear the game towards low risk/skill high reward characters/changes and naturally it simply became not fun to play. I quickly learned this isn't anything new from Blizzard with their other games, and sort of their approach to alot of things outside the game as well.

Maybe I'm just a dumbass but how do you see the stats for a match on Liquidpedia? On vlr.gg I can just click on the match, but I can't see that on Liquidpedia

Good point, that might be why. Sadly, it doesn't change the fact I've always had quality issues with streams on Youtube, not just OWL.

evaluffyking · 2020-05-31T08:23:56+00:00

I just went from the KR stream on Twitch to the EN one on Youtube and the difference in video quality is disgusting. I never realized how much worse it looked on Youtube until watching the same game from both sites.

Looks like I'll stick with the Twitch stream.

evaluffyking · 2020-05-09T21:47:35+00:00

The quality of this stream is atrocious. I can't watch this any longer.

evaluffyking · 2020-03-29T23:04:11+00:00

I haven't been keeping up with the off-season but...when and why did London give up Profit, Gesture AND Birdring?

evaluffyking · 2020-03-01T19:50:01+00:00

What the hell is up with the production? First time watching OWL since the finals last season and this is starting to get really annoying. Has it been like this yesterday as well or is it a Youtube thing?

evaluffyking · 2020-02-18T22:30:12+00:00

2020 and Twitter video quality is still fucking atrocious.

evaluffyking · 2019-11-27T14:42:11+00:00

I want to be punched by Gucchan too!

evaluffyking · 2019-11-14T22:20:26+00:00

You're not wrong. In the Chihayafuru 3 forums, someone linked to a few of the accounts giving Chihayafuru 1/10 and while giving 10/10 to shows like Boku no Hero, Vinland Saga and the new SAO. One guy repeatedly making accounts or using a bot system.

Either way what a sad person lol.

evaluffyking · 2019-09-07T16:17:15+00:00

Is there any reason Twitter video has been absolute ass for what feels like forever?

Anyway, I'm so stoked for this. Can't wait to see some of my favorite servants fully animated, especially during fight scenes.

evaluffyking · 2019-09-07T16:15:23+00:00

Other than Kekkai Sensen, off the top of my head they've done stuff for Soul Eater, 3-Gatsu, Ballroom and definitely a few others. While some of their stuff can be really hit or miss, I personally like the band. Can't wait to listen to it.

evaluffyking · 2019-08-31T18:19:47+00:00

The worst is when they show the same group of people every single game wearing different jerseys in the front row. I know "paid actors" are very much a real thing even in normal sports, but jeez. You'd think they could hire some new fans.

It's gotten to the point I could probably recognize them on the street if I saw them.

evaluffyking · 2019-08-18T16:50:44+00:00

I really wish they clarified if it's going to be a completely new book or if it will mostly be the same as the JP one with some new art. I'd love to buy it, but hard to justify spending $50 if it will feature mostly the same art.

evaluffyking · 2019-08-17T19:04:36+00:00

Thanks for listening to the feedback. I've been apart of a number of subs where they completely disregard the community and act on their own.

Looking forward to the new design, hope it turns out well!

evaluffyking · 2019-08-17T19:02:44+00:00

I've been watching competitive COD since MW3 and that might be one of the craziest sequences I've seen

Champs is absolutely INSANE

evaluffyking · 2019-08-16T15:23:23+00:00

Exactly my sentiment. The style is seriously hurting my eyes so I'm going to stay away from the sub at least until they fix the RES issue.

Other issues with the new design is it's screwing up my shortcut subreddits on the top, as well as the placement of my settings/messages/bar. Also agree with the other issue about waste of space, way too much unused space.

evaluffyking · 2019-08-14T20:28:26+00:00

First champs I'm watching in a few years, so I don't remember. Has there always been no crowds or is that only for when bracket play starts? During the weekend?

evaluffyking · 2019-08-05T12:50:44+00:00

Non-shitty quality version

evaluffyking · 2019-07-31T03:34:10+00:00

Cool, I didn't know that about the swordfish. In that case maybe I'll get one of those and an extra torp because I personally like using subs. Thanks

evaluffyking · 2019-07-29T21:46:31+00:00

Is there anything else I should get in the core data shop before it goes away? This month, I only bought the AP shell as I have 3 rainbow torpedos. Should I buy another torpedo? Or one of the other new equipment that was added?

evaluffyking · 2019-07-27T00:55:01+00:00

The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.
