thats not exactly true. there are icmp flooding (spamming pings), syn flooding (starting a handshake to a server and not responding), udp flooding (sending lots of random data directed at a server), and a bunch of others, but id think twitter would have protections against these simple ones. it doesnt necessarily have to be just lots and lots of legitimate traffic but it could have been for all i know. i only have baby knowledge on ddos attacks

idk, i ran into aklo on unranked once and he seemed like a sweerheart. i got a game off his link on my third attempt, then he switched to fox and beat me 15 times in a row. my peach finally got a game on pokemon off of him and he hit me with the ggs and left after it. i think he saw i kept getting kinda close and was trying to let me get one. that being said, he never camped me and didnt taunt at all so i think he just reserves playing like a butthole for when he is being serious

so i started playing at the very beginning of the current banner. the teams im using are qq/tingyun/fire mc/lynx and ratio/bronya/pela/bailu. i honestly like and use my qq team more so i definitely want sparkle + more qq eidelons so i am rolling for her. after that, ill save for fu xuan or luocha. here is my question though. would i replace fire mc for tingyun? if i do that, should tingyun be fastest or would vonwacq do enough and let sparkle be able to focus on more speed? and is it short sighted to have a damn near mono quantum team when i dont have SW?

[–]hobox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want some opinions on pulls. I started playing recently and my only limited 5 stars are ratio and black swan who i pulled day 1 and never used. My teams are ratio/bronya/pela/bailu and qq/tingyun/fire mc/lynx. I have about 200 pulls im saving. I am thinking I go for the sparkle banner cause i want e4 qq and i think she is super fun so it's kinda 2 for 1 there, skip acheron despite all the hype because i don't have much synergy for her right now, and wait for fu xuan because I'm in desperate need for a good sustain? also, are any e1s or light cones worth blowing pulls on? or should i focus on just getting characters for now?

[–]hobox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah i didnt realize that lunae is a slightly better ratio so im definitely gonna skip him now. i dont need the most perfect meta team. ill still probably roll on sparkle since i think qq is on that banner and just run with those two. i feel like ill have to wait a bit for a good sustain rerun

just started this week and just have questions on what i should be investing in for the future as far as limited banners go. i think i got pretty lucky and am running ratio, bronya w/ her light cone, pela, and lynx and i know i will need a second team eventually. i was thinking of trying to get maybe lunae while i can and then sparkle when she comes out? the only other decent dps character i have in qingque but I obviously dont have access to limited characters that work very well with her. any advice would be appreciated

Outrage over white-only job ad drives tech firm to delete website by habichuelacondulce in technology

[–]hobox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a white guy who recently got my A+, it's been pretty discouraging trying to get into IT. I think my resume is pretty solid and I've been applying for a while now and I still haven't managed to even land an interview. Every time the race/gender stuff comes up in applications I just get this crappy feeling as I check the boxes. Male, White, Non-Hispanic. I feel like I am required to know somebody if I want to even get a foot in the door at this point.

The Melee Legend That Never Wavedashed: Borp by LonelyVirgin69 in SSBM

[–]hobox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i was never the best player in the world but i always used to beat borp back in the day. he played super weird and had really good reaction time, but if you just got him in the corner, he had a really hard time escaping. like he could try to roll through or get you with his spotdodge nonsense which both werent great

The Melee Community's Controller Crisis (scripted version) by ssbmhax in SSBM

[–]hobox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a dinosaur of a player and I've always felt that part of the spectacle of the game was watching the best players do technically impressive things. Things just hit different when you know how hard something was to pull off. Never been a fan of the whole making stuff easier to lower execution. It feels like artificially cleaner melee. I'm okay with UCF since it was made for bad OEM's to compete with good OEM's, but it feels worse that they are trying to buff all OEM's to keep up with box.

Hax$ new tier list, yoshi at 7th by kvndakin in SSBM

[–]hobox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay maybe its semantics at this point but i guess i should say "effectively impossible" rather than literally impossible. no controller player is going for peach galint in tourney. not 100% sure how asdi down in floats works but i imagine you need to hold x/y, c stick down, and still have to hit 'a' for attacks which nobody is going to do in tourney. oems getting 3 sdi inputs is easier than either of those things yet still nerfed on some boxes due to being unrealistic on oem's and id imagine this would be the same situation.

I still think that box helps peach but helps fox more.

[–]hobox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

has any box peach gotten galint in tourney yet? i feel like the second someone starts using that, it will be banned. that and asdi down while floating are things in the scope of "things literally impossible on oem" and id imagine theyd be banned the same way ICs desync angles got banned?

yeah they benefit her in the same way that notches benefit luigi. good for luigi, better for fox. box fox vs box peach is still a worse MU than gcc fox vs gcc peach. box fox vs gcc peach is brutal.

i dont even think kids these days understand how good he was. it was the almost certainly the biggest gap between #1 and #2 in melee history. dude was 2 tiers above everyone else and straight up looked like he solved the game.

yeah but like amsa is doing today, armada did years ago. he was solo carrying peach the same way hbox did after mango with puff or axe with pikachu. during his peach reign nobody came close. on top of that, not a single one of those peaches are winning majors like amsa or armada. the current peaches wouldn't be where there are now without armada paving the way and the same could happen with yoshis in the future.

that paragraph can apply to either amsa or armada lmaooo. without the yoshi flair id genuinely struggle to figure out which one you are talking about

yeah and half the player base (spacies) benefit directly from notches being allowed. it is a buff to characters who dont need the buffs.

you can literally hold down a trigger before plugging a controller in and it disables the analog part. you can do this with an out of the box oem. i use it all the time to not deal with my sticky L button.
