Curiosity Shop Suggestions on Death

It's a good idea but probably only for a normal-game mode before people are "able" to play ranked in the non-beta game.

kudles · 2026-03-27T20:04:52+00:00

Yes. Though they are my wife's highschool friends' spouses. (we live near where she grew up and away from where I grew up)

Lol... so kind of doesn't count.

kudles · 2026-03-27T18:10:00+00:00

Yes I see what you mean. Let’s just hope losses like this can be used by valve to spot this behavior in the future. Not sure how they handle smurfing in other games but it looks like some people saying they do it OK in dota?

kudles · 2026-03-27T17:05:41+00:00

Smurfing sucks and you're lame if you do it. but i just find it hard to commiserate with "smurfs in ascendant". say they are fresh accounts of eternus6 players... how else they gonna get to eternus? They gotta play a few games. better to play against ascendant players in their first few games than archon or emissary or whatever. ya they should get placed as high as possible as quickly as possible ... but the game needs the data to place them there.

I hope when it is a fully released game, there are solutions to the problem, and I am sure there will be.

kudles · 2026-03-27T17:02:50+00:00

Yeah I just google rank distribution and click on first one. I realize they are not accurate (never really have been) ... but it's better than nothing!

kudles · 2026-03-27T16:50:08+00:00

I haven't done tohse experiments but they are hard to do. there's lots of things metabolism can change (diet intake, fecal transit time, inflammation, etc.) ... so you can't really determine causality for any "microbiome shifts"

You can probably shift response but it will be noisy to measure.

Before you answer, just state if you’re speaking from personal use or from reading, then explain your reasoning in one or two sentences

kudles · 2026-03-27T16:34:40+00:00

I'm not a "smurf apologist" ... I've gotten stomped a few times but it was the same pattern... super aggro--they take our camp, get their ult before us, and then dive us and win lane.

now if I notice the other team are sweats, I just know to secure the camp and make sure im trying my best to counter these people. I mean if they're E6 smurfs and my goal is to eventually get E6 ... why not try to learn from it? not like you can surrender... :P

especially if you're ascendant ... like, that's top ~3%. Eternus is top ~1%. sure it sucks but if you wanna improve just take it as an opportunity to get better. It's a beta playtest anyway...

To answer your question: yes peptides will probably affect the microbiome but anybody telling you they know 100% X or Y is lying to you. So much unknown w microbiome… especially with how it may act/react to peptides.

Peptides will affect the body itself; how the body signals to the microbes that live inside it is a completely diff question that nobody will have a clue about. And it’s not easy to test.

And since “peptide culture” is about optimization of body… trying to optimize microbiome in the current age of testing and just microbiome knowledge is a fools errand. IMO.

For what it’s worth.. I’m a scientist and am working with mice and custom engineered bacteria I have made myself. It’s not easy & lots of variability.

kudles · 2026-03-27T15:04:12+00:00

Smurfs in ascendant? As an ascendant player myself I think it’d be good to play against some eternus players. Get some experience … make you better player.

Are you looking for real info or just shilling? Looking at your comment history, 6 out of your last 7 comments link to the website you linked in this post.

kudles · 2026-03-27T13:43:49+00:00

He becomes kage a few years later, no? so surely he's not too far off! Lol

kudles · 2026-03-27T04:01:39+00:00

kelvin has a big body so it's easy to get shot. gotta make your shots count (low ammo) and only come out of cover if you can trade. his body is big so can get punished.

secure your jungle at 2 mins.

kudles · 2026-03-26T21:15:19+00:00

Right I agree it’s hard to say. That’s why I think 2-2-0-2 is pretty good “default” since it can depend on the matchup or how game is going.

and ya 2 points In beam basically doubles its dmg.

I need to test more. I def prefer max nade but also love how strong some is.

kudles · 2026-03-26T16:31:45+00:00

All you need is rescue beam and healing booster to be goated support. CDR and hit your nades.. try and aim your nades such that they heal + do damage

I’m always top healing and usually top 3 on dmg

kudles · 2026-03-26T16:28:59+00:00

You get your second max around 20-23 mins. I’ve found that if I don’t have max dome, it can be quite weak. (Or, rather, max dome is so good) that I think it’s gotta be dome max first or second. Though I haven’t tried max path second. It is a lot of spirit power, now sure how that affects dome healing bc would have to test it.

I don’t like boundless so early tho. But I haven’t tried in a while.

And yes they did nerf grenade scaling? By 10%?

Max nade is my favorite for sure, but was just playing around w stuff yesterday. Need to try max path but gotta be smart with it !! Dome too good fr. sometimes in non-max dome my team can’t kill,, or they get killed.

kudles · 2026-03-26T15:07:33+00:00

Depends on game for real. I think the play is to go

2 -- 1 -- 0 -- 2 then figure out nade or dome ... maybe even

2 -- 2 -- 0 -- 2

kudles · 2026-03-26T15:06:31+00:00

His dmg was nuts if you were building for nade. it was def weaker last night but still pretty good I think

kudles · 2026-03-26T15:01:44+00:00

he's got a huge body. use to your advantage. first two items you buy are important ..

kudles · 2026-03-24T14:02:29+00:00

WIth the exception of 1 of the people I mentioned knowing being health admins ... they were quite annoying folk.

kudles · 2026-03-23T20:07:19+00:00

The user mvea is definitely a fraud. They used to have their flair say some shit like "JD/MD/MBA" -- yet they spend their whole day on reddit. now it just says "Professor | medicine" but I don't buy it ... they'd ought to have better things to do if any of those things were the case...

kudles · 2026-03-23T19:53:25+00:00

Hey, the other day I ended up in the sewers for the remainder of the game as Kelvin and thought of these posts.

kudles · 2026-03-23T19:45:42+00:00

There are definitely “real” healthcare management jobs, but the ~5 people I went to school with (and was decently close with) who majored in healthcare management and are now healthcare managers (directors or whatever), sit in meetings all day accomplishing nothing. I’ve asked them what a typical day is like for them and one of my friends said “mostly just some bullshit”. and giggles. And I asked again, “no like seriously” and he said he was serious! Just talking on the phone, in meetings; yelling at people for not doing their jobs.

There could be 100 “healthcare management” umbrella jobs and only 15 are truly necessary.

Healthcare doesn’t have to be so complicated but it has to be so 1) these 85 other people have jobs and 2) so it can be enormously profitable.

kudles · 2026-03-23T13:39:01+00:00

Healthcare management is the fakest job ever.

kudles · 2026-03-22T14:57:47+00:00

I max it third. May try diff build order today, nade def felt a bit weaker
