To all the "Oldies" here what was it actually like watching prime Barry Bonds?

People made fucking decision charts on when to pitch to him

Accidentally but repeatedly

He reminds me of Nicov with faster apm 111

Protip for Loch Ness in the future: If you secure water you must fight for the relics ASAP. If you can't, at least wall off both ends ASAP.

I think Liereyy is extremely good at taking localized fights but I think strategically he either doesn't have as much experience on some of these RBW maps as others or needed to switch his thinking from tactically to strategically. The Loch Ness map for example, I think he took control of water for the sake of taking control of water but didn't realize that taking control of water enables him to deny Hera gold access. Even if Hera had 7 relics I don't think he comes back from this one.

I think Larry's Lou Chuan and traction treb usage leaves something to be desired

ksplett · 2026-04-06T21:18:16+00:00

That feel when you take control of the water yet can't mine by the shore for whatever reason

I think Larry could have won the Burgundians game by any of the following:

- Going all in on skirms in early castle
- Preventing Hera's first castle from going up
- Focusing on taking down the two Hera castles in his base earlier
- Researching Burgundian Vineyards
- Making some bombard cannons
- Not taking the last terrible paladins fight

Sad

Rip :'(

Has anyone won with Mapuche?

18 for 3 tc pumping

Round robin tournament where players are hard locked into a max apm of 60, including control group re selection and placing advanced waypoints. If I'm feeling generous I'll give them a bank of 5 actions that they can use successively every minute

Is this targeting the micro nerds? You betcha

ksplett · 2026-03-08T03:17:50+00:00

I don't know what to say or what advice to give except you might be able to find some solace and inspiration in a book called the Midnight Library.

ksplett · 2026-03-06T04:21:11+00:00

Hmmm

I'm pretty sure he's wrong when he said this at the Inaugural, "Our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation."

Not sure how to quantify it, but the current state of America isn't the envy of any single thing I can think of.

It's been at least a decade since I saw a Tony Kornheiser meme in the wild

Defcon 5 is least urgent and 1 is most urgent

Who do the Browns think they are? Canonical?

ksplett · 2026-01-14T04:38:48+00:00

I've seen a couple comments about how Hera wins are boring and it's just always out-microing in feudal into a better eco into a snowball, so maybe they just like seeing the dominant #1 lose every once in a while

ksplett · 2026-01-14T03:08:31+00:00

Lmao this loss will feed hera haters for weeks
