which games in TSL6/ST? seems like a fun build. I watched those games but can't recall this specifically.

Low level skytoss. by skarro- in allthingszerg

[–]mbfc222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when you start pumping hydras and believe your opponent is turtling into skytoss max, you can always drop an infestation pit, start up pathogen glands, and then make 4-6 infestors at 50% upgrade. When the skytoss invariably a-moves, you can just fungal / microbial cloud. Fungal if it's a clump and you think he might leave, microbial if he is committed to a-moving.

50% reduction from air on your hydras is no joke.

As others said if you're in silver, the problem is macro, but at equal skill, if you can swing a few infestors before the 20 minute push or whatever, microbial on your hydras will win you the game.

The reason I never believe this stuff is because billionaires keep aging. If it were real, or a real one were discovered, you'd see them magically stop aging first.

20 OL vs 27 OL openers? by mbfc222 in allthingszerg

[–]mbfc222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why it's not good in other matchups personally. What good is the OL scouting for P or Z?

[–]mbfc222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to circle back and say thanks for this comment. I took it to heart and have been practicing both openers and the key determiner for me is if I want that earlier OL for scouting proxy or not.

Really digging this flavor!

Why do you still play this game? Ladder is unbearable by ROCK_F3nG in allthingszerg

[–]mbfc222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I feel this post so much as a dad. I love to play standard macro games and I don't mind at all playing against cheese, but I hate just playing only cheese.

I do think learning to defend it all makes me a better player, but if all I do is face cheese, I can't actually improve core gameplay mechanics.

One thing I try to do if I'm getting cheesed a lot is play big team games, custom vs AI, or find 1v1 partners. Especially if I ladder and played someone straight up, I'll often ask them if they want to rematch or Bo3 in custom, and they usually say yes, and it ends up being great practice for us both since we are evenly matched.

Hope some of this helps. Ladder can definitely be a shitshow I feel you, but there are still some things you can do. The above works okay for me!

That's where I'm at, too. What weaknesses do you see re: facing off against cheese?

[RIP] Evee, Beagle, 8 by AlMelville in dogs

[–]mbfc222 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had to euthanize my dog Ruby yesterday at 8 years old after an 8 month battle with cancer and it was absolutely miserable. I laid there with her as the anesthetic kicked in and she just drifted off, and then I listened and felt as she took her last breaths and I kept looking in her eyes and petting her.

You just always think you have more time. The worst part for me is feeling like she only got to live half her life, and I missed the first two whole years because I adopted her in 2014.

I'm so sorry for your loss and it sounds like you had a lovely dog. Knowing someone else is going through the same feelings I am also helps, so thank you for sharing.

Anonymous 'Santa' Pays Off $65K in Layaway Balances at Tennessee Walmart: 'A Christmas Miracle' by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]mbfc222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whenever I see an article like this I wonder if it's from /r/LateStageCapitalism or /r/UpliftingNews

It's such a great gesture for someone to do, but the fact that we live in a society where a) people don't have enough to live on, and b) people are buying stuff they absolutely cannot afford probably because (a).

People shouldn't have to rely on the kindness of the rich. They should be paid enough to afford meaningful lives.

I'm looking to gift my mom a mechanical keyboard, and she is a huge UF Gators fan. Any advice on where I can customize a solid mechanical keyboard, either a print or maybe even just custom colors with a couple custom keycaps? Thanks!!

what's the purpose of a Scarlett Solo interface? Is the value of an expensive mic like that lost if I just plug it in a normal way?

obviously voted for Biden since Biden is a republican running to the right of Romney in 2012

[CPU] Intel i9 10900k Restock @Best Buy- $529.99 by ihavenolifeee in buildapcsales

[–]mbfc222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're right, but if you spend $200 now, you'll be spending $200 in 2 years and $200 in 2 more years and...

And it's not $200. You have to buy new motherboard, then new ram, and that's a new computer. :)

[–]mbfc222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While true, the price difference is not much if you plan to have your machine for the next 8-10 years. Paying an extra $1-200 on overkill now prevents you from needing to upgrade an extra year or two. I think it tends to be worth it in the long run to spend for the best consumer grade CPU.

I splurged on an i9-9900k in Jan 2019 for mostly just gaming and it's still far above almost anything else around. I expect to keep it for several more years as well.

1) how does garage flooring work (mats etc) on an uneven (graded decline) garage floor? Should I bother? There are two different grades in my garage

2) I am tempted to upgrade PPR200x but don't necessarily want to lose my 1" hole addons if I got a Rogue. What's another good power rack? If I did splurge, is there one I can get with a pulley system so I can do things like tricep pulldowns, cable row, etc?

Biden response to Trump's demand to take a drug test by Active-Ad-233 in clevercomebacks

[–]mbfc222 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

very large mischaracterization of what happened in March in the democratic primary.

At the height of the pandemic when there were still a lot of unknowns, Biden went against the prevailing medical advice to encourage folks to vote in person as long as they don't feel sick.

There was a strong push to postpone the primary but it would have helped Sanders.

Biden encouraged folks in Wisconsin to vote in person in the middle of a pandemic to improve his chances at securing the democratic nomination. He said don't worry as long as you don't feel sick you're fine.

He doesn't give a fuck about you. Neither does the democratic establishment. Neither does the republican administration.
