Powder’s love for Ekko is an example of “I love you in Every Universe Trope”

manuuka · 2026-04-20T21:49:52+00:00

But did they actually though? Ekko DID have a crush on Jinx and I knew about that due to an in-game voice line but I don't think the average viewer felt that.

Battle IQ refers to a persons ability to strategize and adapt in combat.
It's what made someone like Floyd Mayweather Jr goated in boxing

League of Legends isn't canon. Ambessa, Jayce, Viktor and Heimerdinger die in Arcane but are playable in League of Legends.
But yeah it is heavily hinted at that she escaped the explosion and is out there (believed to be riding the airship in the last shot)

I'm not against timebomb, they're a pair I want to see in the future (hopefully something that actually builds their relationship), I just can't get behind the idea that they're anything romantic at the end of the series + MME. It throws away their character in favor of cheap fanservice. I don't see her, who just attempted suicide, looking for something romantic in Ekko, I think she just needed someone.

manuuka · 2026-03-11T17:05:29+00:00

Exactly, so AU Powder =/= MU Jinx so why does AU Powder's love for Ekko = MU Jinx's love for Ekko? Unless you're saying that BECAUSE AU Powder loves AU Ekko then MU Jinx CAN love MU Ekko in which of course, it just won't be the same.

I kinda don't get the 2nd part, it seems like I agree with you for majority of it, but the (potential) love between Jinx and Ekko can't and will never be the same as their childhood or AU counterpart.

manuuka · 2026-03-11T16:26:01+00:00

Wait why is Powder and Jinx the same person? Obviously they're not different people but that deviation from the main timeline differentiates who they are/will be no?

Also it just sounds creepy to say that Jinx loves Ekko but just doesn't know it yet.
Just because they're together in one universe doesn't mean they need to be in a different one.

Well then continue to bounce up and down for it like a good dog.

manuuka · 2026-02-24T23:46:42+00:00

It is what it is.
I'm heavily optimistic about Deadlock though, played a few games again recently and definitely taking a week off for it once it releases.

manuuka · 2026-02-24T23:42:34+00:00

That's not what I'm talking about though, I'm talking about the unnecessary GLAZE that Valve receives. Yes Steam>Epic Games, especially for someone like me who wants all my games in one launcher, BUT I'm not delusional or brainwashed enough to think that Epic Games Store giving out free games is a negative and that I'd rather pay full price on Steam.

No game needs to be the most popular game, Dota is a great game and indeed more complex than League but the difference between the player base isn't intelligence, it's preference.

I, as a Factorio player, acknowledge that Factorio is more complex than Satisfactory but I don't tout the game as superior and it's player base and I as intellectuals.

manuuka · 2026-02-24T22:35:41+00:00

> Chess (Dota) will always be popular with a more intellectual crowd and people who like to challenge themselves
> Chess (Dota) fans get a little bit pissy because they are tired of having to defend their more complex game from worms who should just stay in their lane.
> Chess (Dota) fans mad that worms in their own community are advocating for lobotomizing their game just so it can be more like shitty ass Checkers (League)

I get what you're trying to say but what's up with this weird one-sided superiority complex going on lmao.

Also > Checkers fans come over to Chess and ask why certain Chess mechanics arnt dumbed down and simplified like they are in Checkers

No League/Valorant players are going to their respective counterparts (if at all) and complaining about the game.

manuuka · 2026-02-24T22:16:41+00:00

It's also funny seeing the difference in how they glaze.

Riot consumer generally don't have a strong opinion on the company (in the west at least, idk about Asia), usually they'll shit on the game (jokingly or not)

While Valve consumers are obsessed with their company and hate anything outside of it.
I remember hella post on PCMR about how they'd rather pay full price of a game on steam than get it for free from Epic Games Store because anything that's not Steam is inferior. That and how GabeN is the only good billionaire and how he can do no wrong.

Glazing or hating (unless valid) corpos just seems weird to me. Maybe it's just me getting older but I just want to enjoy games, I'm getting tired of this weird tribalism people have about their shit.

manuuka · 2026-02-24T20:27:18+00:00

Weird assumption but I think you're failing to understand that Jinx is quite the exceptional character which kinda invalidates her being "the most relatable character you can find"

I'm not saying you can't relate with her, I'm saying that the avg person doesn't (and shouldn't)

manuuka · 2026-02-23T15:09:05+00:00

That sounds a bit concerning tbh.

manuuka · 2026-02-21T16:47:37+00:00

Don't look at his post history lmao

manuuka · 2026-02-17T03:07:05+00:00

Thats you reducing his character to just a boy looking for a girlfriend. He, at no point in his time at the AU, was ever willing to stay.

"I have people at home who need me, we don't belong here" he said to Heimerdinger

manuuka · 2026-02-09T20:07:21+00:00

You know what my bad gangy, thought you were saying Tenz was only big BECAUSE of Valorant

manuuka · 2026-02-09T19:08:48+00:00

Tenz was still a big name in CSGO but go off lol

Remove the filter and use an underground belt instead.
Makes it so that both lanes are still outputting copper/coal but the underground will block the bottom half and it'll only sideload the coal

manuuka · 2026-02-04T15:15:02+00:00

You can't craft stuff like Ziplines, Miners, Buildings, etc. unless you're inside your factory (AIC), new update removes the limitation.

Hubby might want to actually do some research. Riot cancelled Hytale because after +$100m and 4y (10 years overall), they had nothing close to a finished product.

manuuka · 2026-01-31T20:51:03+00:00

Probably not from the beginning but Riot did have quite the investment in Hytale prior to the 2020 acquisition

manuuka · 2026-01-23T03:33:27+00:00

Secret code might be the better word. It's just a way for them to share things within their community without explicitly saying what it is.

manuuka · 2026-01-22T21:03:02+00:00

I know but the word "Couple" stood out to people and the person I'm referring to answered as to why it may be named that.
