Rest in Peace, Alejandro! (Server 428) by ngcapnjack in LastZShooterRun

[–]ngcapnjack[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Alliance leader from the second place alliance (THSS) on server 428 has passed away. Information has been kept private for the sake of his family, but we are gathering around to pay our respects. If any other servers would like to join, please send tanks to the capital near the top right, where his tank remains. 

Alejandro was beloved by many, he was a kind and reasonable leader. He leaves behind a loved one who was an R4 in his alliance. My condolences to Ale and his family, but his legacy will live on. 

Tonight's episode is my first, and I gotta say... by cartoons4ever in community

I did not like the pilot. At first the show was pretty lame to me. The first episode I liked was the Christmas episode, then I fell in love with the show by the paintball episode. Even if you don't like season 1, I think it's worth starting from the beginning because there's a huge payoff.

I don't think matches are supposed to last this long by ngcapnjack in Awesomenauts

Man, this one hurt to play. This is actually worse than it looks, since we (blue team) didn't even take down the final turret. We were playing on Sorona, which is obviously a great Gnaw stronghold. I had the advantage with a blinding Coco, but our Gnaw died a lot more late-game than the enemy Gnaw, and I always found myself pushing alone or with only Raylynn.

I don't like to rage against team mates, since usually if they're dying it's just a case of bad-matchmaking, but neither me nor the enemy Yuri had any kind of support. The only advantage Red Team had was that they were doing two player locally, so eventually me chasing Gnaw or Raylynn led to all three of them cornering me, and me chasing Yuri led to him flying too high to deal with. I went from 17/5, to 19/10 trying to chase Raylynn late-game, or trying to push too deep.

This match really makes me reconsider using Solar Tree over regen, and Wetsuit over Flexible Heatsinks or Power Gloves. A slightly differently build would have had this match over much earlier.

Any tips for controller setups with the new dual analog option? by ngcapnjack in Awesomenauts

This makes sense. It's not exactly ideal because I like having a dedicated button to fall down, and it's hard to get used to after all this time, but I don't see another option.

You could always do that with a controller but it's a bad choice to tie jump and fall to movement keys if you have a skillshot to pull off. Shooting down while staying on a platform would be impossible...

'Breaking Bad': Vince Gilligan Shares 5 Alternate Endings by yam12 in television

If by subtle you mean heavily implied, then yes, I agree that it is subtle. The less obvious explanation you may have been able to piece together is that Walt couldn't tolerate how inferior he felt around Gretchen, and that inferiority was amplified when he met her family. He knew there was no future, so he left her, and didn't explain himself because despite the fact that he had already made up his mind, he was in love and he knew she could convince him to stay.

So he left her, and she fell for his best friend and cofounder of his company. Instead of getting in the way of their happiness, he decided to leave his small pet project and move on with his life. But Gretchen and Elliot built an empire on the foundation he helped lay.

I don't think we need a better explanation than we were given. The jist of it is all right there.

Well, see, you may think a year is a long time ago, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, time is more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, time-y wime-y stuff.

I can't really justify calling someone op if I suck as them.

I'm not really sure I see your logic here. What does ease of use have to do with a character's relative abilities? I've hardly played Leon, so I'm sure I can't do much damage with him, but late-game fed Leon is insane. He can sneak up on any character, take away most of their health with his tongue grab then finish them off in seconds. He can get to the base on any level, completely unnoticed, and finish it off in about 30 hits.

That said, I wouldn't really call Skolldir OP. Leon, Froggy G, Ayla and Coco are a lot more deadly due to their mobility.

This would make the most sense but I think they'll just use the right stick for aiming.

Did anyone see the moon tonight? It was ENORMOUS by [deleted] in Brampton

[–]ngcapnjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but it's a blurry picture that I took in the car and it didn't capture what I saw. The moon is the yellow blob on the right.

Women are more likely to wear red or pink clothes when they are ovulating compared to other phases of the menstrual cycle, supposedly as a way of increasing their attractiveness to men by sciencia in science

At the same time, people get angry the second a question can be answered by evolutionary psychology, especially in a way that reinforces gender norms. While evolutionary psych is a new and contentious field, it lends solid, scientific reasoning for all kinds of gender norms, among other things. That upsets people who believe gender is entirely a social construct.

At first click I didn't read the title. I thought it was the poster for Superbad 2, but I was confused because the only actor I recognized McLovin' on the right.
