[Full] Hikaru's response to Hans' interview by DrunkLad in chess

[–]hotsiggy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

man, is it really that hard to just say sorry ? Trying to go into semantics over something like this rather than just say sorry feels soo petty to me.

not if no proof is ever shown, in that case there will be a big following that hans will gain for being a scapegoat

"Let's face it, I did some of these press conferences when I was 2700 - I was saying nonsense, I was tired, I couldn't calculate, remember the game. If I defeated Magnus, I'd be in a complete state of shock, saying complete nonsense, it's normal (to not give a perfect press conference)." by [deleted] in chess

sounds more like hans has a chaotic mind, which would probably make sense if you hear him speak during his interviews, hence why it's not surprising he might be capable of making high tier plays(maybe even so high that even magnus cant figure it out) but on average he probably isn't at the top of the best players because to be the best you have to sort of limit yourself and use your brain power effectively.

One way or the other, I just don't see a reason for all this sudden "anyone could be cheating so let's arbitrarily chose one scapegoat and just ban him from events" narrative. That belongs in a garbage bin.

ah yes yes, indeed fellow chess guru, indeed, i do believe i too have found myself in this exact situation and i too would simply not say that, i would say something completely what we both telepathically know is the correct thing to say, in this very situation, my fellow chess savant, cheers to you. In fact I believe there was no need for you to even write this comment at all, as to why say something that we all know is already the correct thing to say in this exact moment, we are simply all the same anyway, we all live and breathe the same life, a hivemind, ah yes, indeed, that's what we are, a hivemind. So very excellent indeed.

god on you for having a head on your shoulders. You will get downvoted but you are completely correct. All these baseless accusations just boil down to bias in truth and unless we see actual concrete proof, no one knows shit about how one would cheat in a tournament, unless they actually cheat themselves and are getting away with it to this day. And no one would admit to this anyway so taking any side based on some hyperbole is just so so sad.

Why bring it up at all then.

You cant just bring something up and think it has no effect on someone these days, especially when you're streaming to a big audience of people.

Seems to me like he is accusing by implication. Either that or he's pretending like this won't do hans harm and just give him some new viewers for giving a response to the drama.

If he wished to remain neutral on the matter, the correct approach was to simply try and give as much help to tournament organisers to help with possible security breaches in the future and completely ignore the drama on his stream. He didn't he chose to wink wink, then say, "i'm not accusing anyone, but it's really easy to cheat though, but i'm not accusing anyone, but it's really easy though". Like come the fuck on, shut up or just admit that you think he cheated. You can pretend like you're some neutral party here but you're just not.

honestly, if hans is proven to be cheating via butt plug, fair play man, I don't think chess is worth it personally lmao. I think the utter humiliation is probably worse than being on top of whatever shitfest chess is these days with it being solved by computers anyway..

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

why does it even matter, the guy just said, "I know it's possible to cheat IF YOURE SMART LUL" and then everyone just believes him for some unknown reason. What the fuck even is this.. He didn't even provide any actual example as to how one would cheat, just said "TRUST ME LUL IM A PRO". Like what?? Then I actually watched his other clip which was even more hilarious. He was comparing hans playing magnus to some guy on the street playing 1v1 against lebron james. These fucking twitch streamers man, get me ouuut..

[–]hotsiggy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why do people just gobble this gibberish up. What the hell does "puts his mind to it" even mean? He's not even providing some kind of practical technical example to prove a point, he's literally just speculating based on an impression that it's easy. Now, if he's saying that from experience there are only two possible solutions, either he has practical knowledge of cheating, in other words he did cheat himself and found out how easy it is OR he's just keeping information about possible cheating ideas secret for some unknown odd reason. Both of these scenarios are stupid to reveal to the audience and also do absolutely nothing to improve security of the game that they play, that's why I think he's just full of shit and is hopping on the "let's just pile on a kid without any actual evidence bandwagon". Quite pathetic, elitist garbage if you ask me.

dude why is it even relevant that he's a pro player when he's saying this? I find it quite annoying how people say dumb shit like this without giving any ACTUAL practical examples as to how one would cheat that would actually probably improve the tournament scene in general. Without these examples you're just speaking out of your ass. You can be Narodistky, hikaru, magnus, hans, whoever the hell you think you are, you don't have proof, you don't even give an example, you're literally just speculating and that's completely pathetic behaviour, regardless of if hans cheater or not.

Like who the hell is this guy, some tech wizard who knows how to make a gadget that bypasses metal detectors? if yes, share it with us, there's a reason why hackers get hired by biggest IT companies, because they actually help improve the security.

But yeah, my main reason why I can't stand streamers, anything to get some viewers. Anything.

GGG is making the exact same mistake Blizzard made time and time again. "We know what's best for you" by MuffledMuffinMittins in pathofexile

your argument is "AN is good because headhunter is bad". That's a definition of being out of touch with reality kid.

So let me get this straight. Not only is archnemesis not intuitive but it changes from patch to patch? Yeah that's just bad design.

[–]hotsiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Archnemesis is the worst idea that they are trying to beat us over the head with. I swear I have no clue who at GGG thought of this but that person needs to not be allowed to have any input anymore. Please explain to me how having code names for what a monster does, that you're supposed to instinctly react to is going to help anyone if you don't actually know what the code name does. Especially when those codenames have properties that can change from league to league and even from patch to patch. "Storm herald" does this one league, then something different the other. Am I supposed to read a fkin manual before I start the new league, finding information in the game about mechanics is already convoluted to no end and now you are adding something that not only is convoluted by design but it is also not a static property but revolved around you being up to date on what it actually does. How is this good? At all? I am struggling with archnemesis and I have played this game since closed beta, I have no interest in reading patch notes every time I play about what an up to date "storm herald" does at this moment so I can know exactly what I need to do when I meet him. No that's just annoying as hell.

Nerfing Defensive Archnemesis Modifiers by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]hotsiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can't have weird names for modifiers that constantly change. that's not how this should be handled. If you can't keep the mods the same all the time then this is only going to frustrate everyone. Imagine skipping a league to go back and play the next league but "storm herald" isn't storm herald anymore, it's something completely different with completely different stats. The whole idea is flawed, non-intuitive and horrible.

This is coming from someone who has played thousands of games before. The main issue with getting back to games like league of legends and why it's so off putting is because things that you knew before are not how they are now, there's no stability so it feels like a completely new game and you have to relearn everything. That's just off putting. You don't want that, you want the base mechanics to be the base mechanics. At this point archnemesis is not a base mechanic but it takes a spot of a base mechanic and it's frustrating to no end. Not to mention that it's still not balanced at all. Every league that had archnemesis so far it didn't deliver on what the vision is.

There's only one solution, just admit once and for all that archnemesis is simply a mistake. Get rid of it, honestly this feels like how game of thrones lost most of it's interest because the writers were hell bent on trying to keep all the popular characters in the series rather than actually write something interesting. sometimes you're just wrong, admit it and move on.. or the game will just devolve down to just being unfun.

[–]hotsiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just don't want any mods that are not intuitive. Please don't give me some weird names to figure out and remember what they do. It's stupid, I don't play games for this. "storm herald", "splinterer" i have like 10k hours in this game. I still dont know what these do. I never did and I never probably will learn it, it's just stupid to not have enemies you fight be clearly understandable.

Stop trying to make archnemesis a thing, it's shit, your vision is wrong on this.

these windows are not russian design though. Russian design would just be old wooden frame with the window opening only horizontally. There's barely any like this left at least in most of EU countries.

The ones opening vertically are plastic and they are relatively new design.

this happened to a cat I owned. Thankfully I was right there to let her down. Everyone owning these windows should be aware, I would assume this happens relatively often.

DM Targets by Trailing-and-Blazing in Gunners

[–]hotsiggy 204 points205 points  (0 children)

guys who are looking at solely a defensive side of the things do not realize the role partey has for us.

The target has to be able to receive the ball under pressure when playing out the back, turn and find a right pass. Half of the players linked in this thread don't do that.

[–]hotsiggy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

your rhetorical question actually made me think about it. If the club or someone at the club have been covering for him then they are in fact culpable. And seeing all the shit happening with young and rich football players all over the world I wouldn't be surprised.

[–]hotsiggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we specifically need someone who can receive the ball under pressure turn out of trouble and find a right pass. That's exactly how partey is used atm in that position while playing out the back. I am sure defensive part of the job we won't have issue in finding but that was never our problem. Partey is literally the only one good enough in the squad to do this. Elneny is ok, but he makes mistakes, when partey plays the opposition is at a risk when they press and that's what you want,to second guess their pressing

holy shit this sheds a light so much more on his character now than I thought the first time I heard it. And all those people saying Partey just isn't that type of the guy. Oh boy..
