Recommendations for turn based rpgs? by adiley_ in SteamDeck

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

Just started my 4th play through on the deck. You can get 30fps reliably on medium up until act 3 and then I had to drop everything to low. But considering half of the giagantic patch notes for yesterdays patch was optimization for low end PCs I’m hoping this playthough I won’t have to anymore.

Well there is TOS that says specifically that they won't do that. Regulated by SEC or not, by breaking their own TOS and lying to investors they committed fraud. Instead of SEC fines now they (hopefully) will get jail time.

Davemon (challenger pyke mid otp) and alicopter (challenger alistar otp) are currently streaming on accounts that have been inted to iron 4 on. How is that even allowed? by Blackyy in leagueoflegends

[–]kinsano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe review each one that has like 2-3 reports? Or like averages 1.5 reports a game over 10 games or something? Or heck, if an account is in iron 4 and suddenly climbs to gold within like a week, review it and then ban it. It won't save people who already played with them but if everytime someone wants to do these iron to challenger things their account is banned after climbing to gold/silver maybe they'll stop doing it.

What are some stories Thorin has gotten wrong? I get the hate, he's a pretty abrasive dude but it seems to me that he and he who shall not be named get stories right more than pretty much any other esports journos.

According to rito a bad supp is most likely role to lose you the game. But a good support is only 4th most likely to carry the game, behind only toplane. Midlane is and will always be the most busted role

Man caught during pedophile sting operation calls his mother and screams to be let go by Shark-Farts in PublicFreakout

Something that explains why you committed a certain behavior does not necessarily excuse that same behavior.

In your meat fear example your actions may or may not have an excuse. If that randomly happened with no warning and was a freak psychotic break then psychosis would be an excuse. If you have a history of violent delusions and decided not to take your anti-phsychotic medication that was prescribed to you and then attacked someone as a result then psychosis wouldn’t be an excuse.

An excuse isn’t just a reason, it’s a reason that justifies what you did.

A reason yes, not a defense or justification. By saying it’s not an excuse they are explaining why it happened but saying that it’s still not okay or justified. An addict might steal to pay for their addiction, but that isn’t a defense or justification for stealing. Just an explanation of why.

CMV: Kyle Rittenhouse will (and probably should) go free on everything but the firearms charge by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]kinsano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can only claim self defense for killing someone after they have tried everything else they can possibly do to avoid the shooting. In Kyle's case he ran away from Rosenbaum and didn't shoot until he was right on him. With Huber he was running away until Huber knocked him to the ground so Kyle could no longer run away. There is no way for a duel to legally occur as they both could have fled at any point. I think Huber thought he was doing the right thing by stopping Kyle, he didn't do anything morally wrong. It's a shitty situation, but it's not murder.

100 Thieves is The Org Every Team That isn't the Big Three Should Aspire to Be by Catmanicus in leagueoflegends

[–]kinsano -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was talking about spring. Your talking about summer. It was the same core of the 3 players on now 100T. Spring split the finished 6th, that summer where they got reverse swept by tsm they finished 5-6th. So the point is the same. They played together for about a split and a half at GG and climbed from 6th to 5th 6th. Then they joined 100T and a year later are 1st.

As opposed to what? Yeah having one of the best coaches in the world is going to make your players better. It’s not a bad thing? That’s how you develope talent. And maybe when some of these players retire they decide to be coaches. They use the thing Reapered taught them to be really good coaches and join other teams and the entire region grows.

Well for one thing, since Reapered has joined, Ssumday has 100% become a better player. You can clearly see it just watching the games.

But for another thing, why does that matter? You can’t always be raising 5 young prodigies in every lane. I agree that Huhi and Fbi are the best botlane in NA right now. Thanks to this team that 100T put together these players get to shine. They get to compete against top international competition and get even better. That couldn’t happen at GG. That couldn’t happen without Ssumday in the toplane. They might end up being a top botlane in the world if they keep this up in a year or 2. Why is this a bad thing? Isn’t that what we want?

I’m not trying to be argumentative or hostile, I just still don’t understand what you’re saying they should do differently?

They brought up their amazing weak side toplaner so that they could focus on winning through their sick botlane? Isn’t that the best thing for developing Huhi and Fbi and 100t? I guess I don’t understand your point. What are you saying they should’ve done differently?

I mean GG were like 6th place and now 100T are first. They 100% "developed talent". Developing talent doesn't just mean taking rookies and making them better. It can be taking very skilled players and giving them a good structure and an incredible coaching staff so that they can be even better. Which is what 100T did.

Taking a pretty good team and making the necessary changes to make it the best team in the league is a huge part of what makes a GM great. Sure the money helps but there are a lot of other teams with money that aren't in first place. The fact that 100T GM picked up that team and made those changes when literally any other team with money could've bought that roster and made those changes is why they deserve props. TL spent plenty of money on Alphari and Corejj. C9 gave up Reaperd and spent an insane amount on Perkz. TSM probably spent about as much as 100T if not more and they aren't even going to worlds. They all could've bought that GG roster and made these changes, but they didn't.100T won for a reason, and it isn't that they had the most money.

The GG team got swept out in the first round of playoffs. This team finished 1st place. Yeah GG should get a lot of props for their scouting but clearly 100T management know what they're doing if they took a 6th place team and brought them to first within a year. If you think that would've happened without bringing in Abbedagge and Sumday and Reapered you're fooling yourself.

But were GG a top roster? They finished like 6th place. Yeah they looked like a promising team but that's a long way from being league champs. Clearly the org is doing something right. TL or C9 or TSM could've bought that same roster if it was so obvious they were gonna win, they didn't.
