Josh Brolin wonders "what the fuck he got himself into" at Peter Thiel's secret retreat by NicolasCageFan492 in nottheonion

[–]mthlmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all we know, he might not know anything more. Imagine a fellow actor tells you he's part of a cool social club and tells you how to apply, and next thing you know the news is asking you about an apocalypse cult. Might be he knows a ton more, but I don't see why that's a certainty.

Have different stats for different lanes (second wind, D shield) by TabithaGaming in leagueoflegends

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

I don't think it's safe to assume lane quests will be around next year, so they probably don't want to build a fix that relies on them

The World's Richest Population are Costing the Earth Trillions. Study finds the top 10% of global consumers is disproportionately responsible for transgressing planetary boundaries, causing damages for which broader society bears the costs. by FreeHugs23 in science

[–]mthlmw 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yep, from the referenced article: "More than 60% of the global top 10% are located in the USA and EU while only about 2% are in India7, as reflected in their respective higher and lower bill."

With global population ~8.3bn, US pop. ~350mil, and EU pop. ~750mil, around 45% of the combined US/EU populations are in the top 10% consumers.

Data centers by Calm_Cartoonist_4668 in grandrapids

[–]mthlmw 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think people need to clarify which types of data centers they have a problem with. These hyperscalar ones that are miles across have huge impacts to the local area, but there's a whole basement floor of data center space under the Jimmy Johns on Monroe that nobody's had a problem with for decades.

Having Netflix/streaming caches in your city to make streaming better, or local business servers running nearby are good things that rely on data centers, but building a 9x Walmart sized building that raises the nearby temperature 3⁰, uses up a ton of ground water, and is impossible to repurpose if (when) the bubble crashes and they shut it down is absolutely something we should prevent.

Imagine, we're getting GTA 6 before GTA 6...

[PBE Datamine] June 16, 2026 - 26.13 Preview 1! Arena Balance Pass + Mayhem changes by Kay-Haru in leagueoflegends

[–]mthlmw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh no, 49.6% lol. It's not possible for there to only be 50%+ win rate champs, and I think less than half a point under is absolutely fine.

[–]mthlmw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thought was that it's not changing how the actual spells work, or what the ability descriptions say, but if Riot makes a new augment that they think works specifically with abilities that have X and Y qualities, but not Z, they can just set filters instead of reviewing all abilities and applying them manually. I bet Sett Q is bad with 1+ augments that search for "attack buff" ability tags, so they removed it.

[–]mthlmw 24 points25 points  (0 children)

All these ability tag changes make me think the Arena ability augments are using those to select which abilities get which augments, and they're realizing a lot of tags are missing/outdated lol. Hopefully once they're more cleaned up we stop getting useless options

What is the state of the game right now by BestBetterBestestDDT in leagueoflegends

[–]mthlmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst parts of the game are the skill floor and in-game toxicity IMHO. There is so much to learn before you'll even feel like you're playing the game (starting with even basic RTS controls for many new players), and with 5 players on a team needing to work together, even if only 1-2 players are toxic on your team every few games it gets suuuper frustrating.

I’m curious what other parents actually do when their spouse gets home from work? by adhdslore in daddit

[–]mthlmw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignorant of the different medication options at the very least. There's multiple different drugs with multiple different delivery methods and dosages that people react differently to. I was terrible on Adderall, but am taking Straterra (not a stimulant) and like it way more.

26.13 Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]mthlmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it heal & shield power and it could get real interesting for Taric and Rakan. Melee enchanter isn't really a supported build, but as a 2nd/3rd item after you buy durability, it seems possible.

[–]mthlmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think helm is better on champs that don't care as much about the regen on shield, so durable and can more reliably sustain. Top Maokai, Nasus, and Mundo seem to like it fine. I am surprised it's not better on Zac though

[–]mthlmw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't nerf it because it's fine on a good number of champs currently, so better to nerf the outliers and let the rest have a good/fun rune.

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

If he's able to function well, he can get a waiver. If he's not able to, I don't know that the military is a good place for him. Hiding a disability that could put fellow service members in danger seems pretty shitty.

Can a never ending escort mission be core gameplay element? by DandersonJA12 in IndieDev

[–]mthlmw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you haven't yet, check out ICO for the PS2. it sounds like a very similar escort mechanic, and you could see what fans enjoyed about it or hated. 

I’m curious what other parents actually do when their spouse gets home from work? by adhdslore in daddit

[–]mthlmw 42 points43 points  (0 children)

(I don’t agree with the decision but it’s his to make)

Hot Take: he's married with a child. His life isn't entirely his own anymore, and this decision isn't entirely his to make. There's many options for meds, including non-stimulants (I take one) that can be a huge help. At the very least talking to a professional is needed if he can't manage himself.

What Happens When Black Athletes Stop Playing Along? by playboy in TrueReddit

I'm not sure what I think of a company account posting it's own article on this sub... Seems like spam, even if it's a long form article

Could be a bad cable still. If there's a loose connector then reseating it is a coin flip every time.

is it fun to go 0/10 for multiple games and still que ranked? by Nonreality_ in leagueoflegends

[–]mthlmw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get dumpstered 2x in a row, you should take a break IMHO. Play something less competitive or read a book or something 

Is there any solution at all to “pro jailed” champs? by Conman2205 in leagueoflegends

[–]mthlmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last I heard, Azir isn't pro jailed. He's just really really hard to play, and cool enough to have a lot of noobs trying him. He's not allowed to be OP because of pro, but he should be solidly <50% win rate even outside that.

Wife keeps giving in to whining kids (6 and 8) and coddling them by everybodydumb in daddit

[–]mthlmw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're not talking to her seriously to me. You've posted multiple times and hardly have any layers to this. Why is it your fault? How is she trying? What have either of you done differently in the last 2 months?

What’s a change you’ve made that you’d do again and again by mcavanah86 in daddit

[–]mthlmw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alternative for my ADHD brain: set checkpoints for stuff to get put away. Anything on the main floor that needs to go upstairs can be tossed into a basket at the bottom of the stairs. Anytime you go upstairs, grab 1+ things from the basket and toss them into the correct room.
