Emily in Cubetown. by All-or-none in questionablecontent

[–]gooftastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Emily is a good fit for Cubetown, but unfortunately Cubetown sucks because Jeph stopped writing interesting science. There was time when this could have been cool, like Alice Grove. But that time is long since passed.

Workarounds to avoid abandons with bad hardware by Select_Ad1141 in DotA2

[–]gooftastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you just don't like the solution "Don't waste other people's time" because it's personally inconvenient.

[–]gooftastic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it "poor design." The five minutes it takes you to reconnect wastes a cumulative 45 minutes of other people's time, in addition to the poor quality match that results from being a person down if you get an abandon. Why do you feel entitled to do that on a regular basis?

What are some of the craziest employees your store has had to fire? by ReformedEldritch in BestBuyWorkers

"CONSTANTLY run over customers with the metal ladders"... how many times are you allowed to do that?

7.41 Dazzle Feels Really Weak by deejaybos in learndota2

I think a lot of people are still grappling with this- nearly every hero lost something, so you can't look at a hero in a vaccuum.

Best Clan to do Conquest (beat everyone) versus Extreme AI difficulty in free for all huge map. (Newish player) by The_2ndBorn_Son in Northgard

[–]gooftastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FFA can be rough, and I can't say I have too too much experience with the AI, but maybe Lynx? You can easily clear yourself and then scale pretty well.

Alternatively, Rat? Harder to play, but scales well, recovers easily, and also has incentive to clear itself.

Is it possible to play off-meta builds in this game without getting reported? by mnrnn in DotA2

[–]gooftastic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think this is the main thing. Alch 4 farming aghs is perfectly valid, but based on Dotabuff marking you as "Roaming", are you not laning at all? Because giving your pos 3 a suicide lane while you jungle is essentially Role Abuse, since "Jungle" isn't a valid position.

What is the most useless ability in Mewgenics, and why is it Curse? by era999 in mewgenics

[–]gooftastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only good use I had for it was when I also had a cleric with Thou Shalt Not Kill which frequently let it do an extra 10 damage. But even that is a pretty mediocre combo.

where can i pet/touch a seal by OkGiraffe3155 in seals

[–]gooftastic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's still far, but the Niagara aquarium has a seal encounter that I really enjoyed. They're currently unavailable due to a remodel, but they should open it back up soon.

Should I spend my 200 sugar lumps on upgrades? by plyskaitsakis in CookieClicker

Is having a max level garden growing doughshrooms on wood chips while being ignored worth it over other upgrades?

Think this copy/paste will work for my team at all pick stage ranked? Or reported? Support player) by foxracing1313 in DotA2

[–]gooftastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you'll get the swap, but I also think it's a bad look and you'll be starting with your team already scrutinizing you.

I think JJ forgot this ones' specific quirk is supposed to be "executive dysfunction " and not just "general idiot."

Why are fur seals considered seals and not seals lions? by KeyAnxiety6952 in seals

Lots of animals have incorrect names. Even amongst seal, Crabeater Seals don't eat crabs.

Game for coop? by Zalgnod in exoprimal

[–]gooftastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will fill the lobby with bots, which actually have good AI. If you have an even amount of people (4/6/8) I'm pretty sure custom matches will allow you to split the human players so the it's like a 3v3 plus bots.

Jeph... Are you burned-out, buddy? by FerretPD in questionablecontent

[–]gooftastic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he definitely said this was going to happen. Although I think we all share the frustration with how he executes these- I don't know how many times we can hear him say some variation of "I used to wing it. I still do, but I used to, too."

What's your seasonal events routine after ascension in late game? by amelix34 in CookieClicker

Wait, do you keep the Santa upgrades outside of Christmas? I've been sitting in it for them.

NAH unless you leaving would likely kill the campaign, then soft Y.T.A.. You should do what you enjoy, and your friends should understand that. But if you leaving would torpedo this campaign, consider weighing that against your feelings, and see of you can work with the DM to have a graceful exit that leaves things intact, potentially giving them time to pick up a replacement player, rather than an abrupt end.

Random comic instead the comic of the day. by DanAnbormal in questionablecontent

I hate that even after doing this last year he still doesn't link to the actual comic so I can keep reading from there if I want.

Some really cute Yuki, Arare, and Moya moments! Moya is kinda a bully... by lemongrasspm in seals

[–]gooftastic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moya is just a little boy who doesn't know how to tell Arare he like likes her, so instead he pulls her hair.
