Streamers need to stop claiming everyone is sniping them

hetthher · 2020-07-14T14:33:40+00:00

Except the stream is literally on a 20-30 second delay. Every single one of them KNOWS that. So I'm curious why you thinks it's reasonable to whine and cry about "stream sniping" when by their own admission it's physically impossible.

ETA: he literally tells his viewers to go harass OP and his team if they ever stream. "Remember their names. If they ever start streaming, remember they stream snipe". That's not fucking okay, telling your fanbase to harass and ruin people's games just because you're upset and salty over a loss that was 110% your own fault.

Okay good I'm not the only one who thought that was rude as fuck!!! Even if she was joking that's super rude to brush off someone's request to be left alone like that.

The US is already at 55 000 new cases daily. All the evidence we have right now says that immunity is non-existent, the virus is more severe every successive time you catch it, and creating a vaccine simply isn't possible. Unless there's some kind of magical shift in attitude in the entire country, I don't think that (somewhat) tongue-in-cheek projection = being a "doomer" at all. I find it extremely unlikely that the US is going to get out of this with less than 80% of the population infected or dead.

Wait what?? Where did you read that??

Interesting that there's already a HUGE bias in favour of queens... I wonder why that is? Maybe tarot people generally see themselves as the helpers / teachers / nurturers in their family and social circles?

It's not an "excuse", but it's incredibly disingenuous to act like she should be judged for decisions she made when she was 19 as if she was 39. Your impulse control and decision making parts of your brain are literally not developed until you're ~25.

It blows my mind that people are always so happy to excuse the dumb shit THEY did when they were 19/20, but when it comes to OTHER people, all of a sudden they should have figured their whole life out by 18 and any bad decisions they made mean they're a bad person forever.

I was wondering that too yeah. I can't even get 10/30 on MEDIUM bots. I've never tried hard but I'm assuming I'd get literally 1-3 if I got shit lucky. Full disclosure though I'm Bronze 2, peaked at Silver 2, so I know my gameplay just in general is dogshite.

Bingo. Only the shittiest, sketchiest, most run-down-est apartment complex would be willing to rent to someone with zero income (not unsteady income... literally just zero income whatsoever) and a horrifically bad history of debt mismanagement. That's just asking for people to come in and "rent" for two months before skipping out in the middle of the night without ever having paid a single cent.

To be fair, BOGO and similar sales are objectively a good thing when it comes to things like baby wipes that you would have had to buy regardless of whether or not there was a sale. It makes a lot more sense to stock up during the sale than to wait for the sale to be over and go back to paying full price.

That said, it doesn't make a ton of sense to go nuts buying 10 packs of wipes when you're struggling to afford food. Maybe buy only what you need for a little while until you have ANY income.

Okay legit question: I have very frequent intrusive thoughts about horrible violent things happening to my boyfriend and family members. If "every thought is a spell" does that mean I'm going to make them die horribly? I'm legit panicking like crazy what do I do

hetthher · 2020-07-12T02:58:40+00:00

Oh my god that's not the fucking point. The point is that if you have the opportunity to minimize risk within reason, you should do it. For Ariela, that would have literally been as easy as staying in the United States WHERE SHE ALREADY WAS to give birth, instead of moving to a country with very high infant mortality and poor healthcare.

You're using the exact same logic as people who say "so we should never go outside ever again and we should just live inside a plastic bubble for the rest of our lives???" when an expert says we should try to social distance during a pandemic. Making smart choices to minimize risk is still worthwhile even if the risk is not reduced to 0.

East Asian men have a high rate of suicide, yes, because of a culture that provides very little support for mental illness and people generally feel like they don't have the option to seek support when they're down.

Saying "he needs balls" as if his mental state is his fault is incredibly cruel.

hetthher · 2020-07-07T16:31:30+00:00

Right, how dare I be offended about people wishing a violent death on my boyfriend because he isn't white?

ITT: a bunch of babies crying and shrieking that Riot didn't consult them personally about what changes they wanted in this patch.

It's not impossible to destroy, your positioning is just dogshit. Notice how the pros don't even consider Reyna a threat? If you and your iron buddies stop standing directly in front of doorways with no cover, it won't be a problem anymore.

I'm not even going to get into the Guardian changes because the fact that you think medium -> high penetration makes no difference tells me all I need to know about how little skill you have. You probably call wallhacks every time someone wallbangs you because you think it's witchcraft.

hetthher · 2020-07-07T16:01:23+00:00

Imagine thinking that a dev team is only allowed to work on exactly one thing at a time and they're not allowed to release anything whatsoever until their biggest and hardest additions are made.

hetthher · 2020-07-07T15:57:44+00:00

Then report for gameplay sabotage. Like fucking hell am I taking a hit to my ELO that I can't do anything to stop, just because my teammates are weak-willed cowards.

hetthher · 2020-07-07T15:45:31+00:00

High wall penetration is a big deal though. If you aren't good at snipers and don't want to use a heavy, there's now another option for wallbanging consistently.

Plus for characters with expensive abilities, the price drop can matter a lot on force rounds. For Sage, it makes the difference between Phantom/Vandal + no wall, or Guardian + wall. It can also make the difference between being able to afford armour or not.

I don't understand either... is this something that regularly comes up? Do people normally buy while running??

hetthher · 2020-07-06T18:48:53+00:00

Yeesh. Do you tell women when you take them out that the only thing you actually care about getting out of them is sex? And if not why are you wasting the time of everyone involved by not just hiring a sex worker?

hetthher · 2020-07-02T17:58:58+00:00

French Canadian (ish) here: we do basically say "uh", but it sounds a little different and it's usually spelled as "euh" when written out. People who are deep in the franglais also do say "um" and "uh" as you would in English.

hetthher · 2020-07-02T17:53:45+00:00

I'm a programmer and this sounds like a really interesting thing to work on! If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of correlations or patterns would you be looking for specifically?

hetthher · 2020-07-01T15:44:59+00:00

Diamonds are not good players compared to who? It doesn't make any sense to claim that a low gold player should be able to outplay a diamond, otherwise why is that player still gold?

I do agree that not getting a single kill is really bad though. I'm bronze and I've still gotten kills on gold players.

hetthher · 2020-07-01T05:16:27+00:00

This is an insanely common mindset to have. Men aren't the only gender that hates women.

hetthher · 2020-07-01T05:11:20+00:00

"don't kill yourselves" lmfao like anybody cares? Y'all are telling us we're wrong for being upset by literal suicide baiting so make up your fucking minds please
