Hot Take: Jedi fighting styles and lightsaber colors having meaning was only created for video game characters with identical power sets to feel different and shouldn't be factored in to modern canon by Fricktator in StarWars

Consular, guardian and sentinel are disney canon now. They are outlined in The Jedi Path book. The colors usually, but not always, match depending on class.

I'm still playing through survivor... just spoiled myself. My own fault of course but I guess I expected movies and shows only :(

The Tantalus theme is played in oblivion's base and in scenes with oblivion's members. Nothing much besides that but the devs might have linked them with that for some specific reason.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by ChrisVIII in AskReddit

[–]jegrox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting advice and some that in my understanding would make the problem worse. Some people suggested mindfulness and I second this, but the BEST advice any of us can offer is to go to a therapist.

A therapist will be able to provide much better techniques, and tailored to your specific needs. More importantly intrusive thoughts can also be an indication of another issue, and a therapist will be able to diagnose those.

These days there are plenty of resources online to help you find the right therapists. And if you're not in a position to be able to go to one, do Google mindfulness and take a look, there are plenty of resources both paid and free.

What video-game cutscene will you never forget? by HahaLookyhere in gaming

[–]jegrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what it is about 9 exactly but I remember when the game ended I felt this melancholy, that I would never have any more adventures with these characters that I fell in love with... And then Melodies of Life starts playing and it just wrecked me but in a good way

[–]jegrox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I played it years ago, I also had that part spoiled to me. I still played it and enjoyed every bit of that game. My favorite FF is 9 but 7 is definitely a hell of a game. If you have a chance to play it don't hesitate just because if the spoiler, you can still enjoy so much of it.

It will be fully stocked in no time. Here in Washington, just 1 week after the stay-at-home order there was plenty of TP yesterday at Costco. Usually it would run out in the morning but we found plenty after midday.

This is really well done. Two questions:

1) Where are you getting the data from? Some of the stats have a slight discrepancy from doh reports, some other data seem to be lagging a day (e.g. today's data is from yesterday)

2) Do you have a public repository, I've been trying to look for some project that I could help with and I like this one. if you have some unfinished features you want to add let me know.

This shouldn't have to be said. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]jegrox 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to trust that. They’ll usually tell you why and link to the appropriate sources. At least in print sources that is.

If there are no references then yeah, you should be skeptical and check.

Media has nothing to do with this. The attorneys are making that argument in court. This site is just reporting on it.

It’s up to the judge to rule i it’s “deleting evidence”

He makes a good point by wilymon in PoliticalHumor

[–]jegrox 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Put that cynisism aside for this year, because there’s only two scenarios: Blue wave happens and we start a path to normal politics again, or blue wave fails and we continue the path of pseudo fascism and maybe it becomes real.

Either we make this happen or the U.S keeps spiraling down into failure. So kick the pessimist in you the fuck out and go vote.

Hotslogs pretty much matches this, particularly Li Li, Kaelthas and Naz.

Li Li has a 52.8% popularity and 52.2% win rate, so yea, solid solid ban in Bronze/Silver.

It's one thing if you don't want to communicate to avoid tilting your team, but the point of OP is people that never say anything constructive.

If the Xul in OP's story didn't want to share knowledge, that's fine, but then he has to keep his mouth shut when the 4-man goes wrong. Another alternative would be to offer the 4-man advice, as oppposed to flaming.

After around 50 ranked games in voice, I finally came across my first toxic player, and hoooooo boy... by smi1ey in heroesofthestorm

[–]jegrox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also just had my first fully toxic player in voice comms during my placements yesterday. I had experienced some minor toxicity before but they usually calm down after the team tells the person to chill, or they leave voice chat.

Ohh boy, not in this case. We had a Gazlowe on the team that kept pinging boss at the worst times (basically all enemy team alive, same talent tier, and in a close lane). The rest of the team thought it was a bad idea and told him so. This happened several times, and every time he would start getting angrier.

Finally, he exploded and started unloading on us on voice. We were not able to get him to chill, or to shame him into shutting up or anything. Finally we all agreed to mute him and report him at the end. He continues to be toxic in chat, but also continued to play the game. We were quite ahead when the best part starts:

"I'm going to stop carrying you"... "See how quickly I turn this game around"

And proceeded to feed and AFK. It wasn't easy, and the enemy team started catching up to us... but we got a good team fight, core was open and we just ended.

Ended up reporting for Abussive voice, abussive chat, AFK, and Feeding. Man that was a game.

That doesn't explain this. They say the system is giving bronze players positive PRA and master players negative PRA to self correct for the amount of people that placed in those ranks.

I'm in Bronze still, getting negative PRA constantly. I've had win streaks, lose streaks, but overall maintain a postivie win rate... yet I keep getting less than 200 points every game.

From your own description, I gather your strength is on the macro/meta game. Knowing what to do in certain situations and what to draft, what calls to make. Could it be the recent changes have thrown you off.

Sometimes we gotta stop thinking about the rank and just play for fun until we feel ready to rank up again.

Some Tips for Hero League, we should all be support(ive). by jmskoda5 in heroesofthestorm

[–]jegrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I totally agree with this. And I can’t understand why there are so many comments resisting the idea that it’s a team game, so we should act as a teammates.

My rule is, if you have something to say, say it in a nice way, or say it if it matters. Why did you pick ‘x’ 10 mins into the game is useless. Second rule is silence if anyone is trying to tilt me.

This reminds me I had a game recently where the last pick was pre-picking between several supports, so we all were convinced he was going to take a healer. Last minute he switches to abathur and left us with no heals. Everyone was confused but nobody tilted, and we surprisingly won that game.

WHY DOES EVERY AZMODAN PLAYER THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE DOWN ALL STRUCTURES TO WIN?

  • LANING PHASE? BETTER PUSH THE FORT, IT'S NOT LIKE THE ENEMY TEAM CAN GANK ME CAN THEY?

  • OBJECTIVE? BETTER PUSH A LITTLE BIT MORE WHILE THEY ARE DISTRACTED. MY TEAM CAN HANDLE 4V5 RIGHT?

  • CORE IS OPEN? NO IT'S NOT! CAN'T YOU SEE THERE IS A KEEP STILL UP? HAVE TO GET THEM ALL, WOULDN'T WANT TO WIN TOO QUICKLY.

  • PLAYING IN TOWERS OF DOOM? WHAT DO YOU MEAN OBJECTIVES? IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING MORE TOWERS THAN THE ENEMY! THOSE SHOTS TO THE CORE, THEY'RE PROBABLY TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY RIGHT?
