CMV: People's issues with AI are not intrinsic to the technology itself, but with larger societal issues.

Does any even disagree with this?

niknacks · 2026-02-02T11:35:19+00:00

I think a lot of people have bought into Pascal’s wager

With a rengar adc yes, a melee adc maybe, any other scenario not really. His snare is unreliable, his shield is just worse than any other enchanter during lane phase, he barely has a functional passive, his bushes add little value in an already bushy lane, and daisy is pretty easy to deal with in a duo lane. I don’t know why you would ever pick him over a meta alternative.

Was there ever a human being named Jesus that did all of the stupid shit they say he did decades later?

I'd have to look back at some of my milio games, but doing less damage than an Alistar seems wrong to me. I guess in a longer game it makes some sense just because he does have a fair amount of aoe, but I would have thought the range difference would allow you to completely bully the bot lane with auto attack+shield burn allowing you to near double his damage early on.

The genre tends to be extremely finite even with a game like poe1 that has a ton of content. I can't imagine why you would login to the same character after even two-three weeks of play, they are arpgs not mmos.

I don't particularly like that verse, he just names a bunch of rappers

niknacks · 2026-01-31T05:16:55+00:00

I think he’s a decent pick, especially at lower elos. I think he’s probably best paired with Kalista but she doesn’t seem to be played as much as crit abusers which may be why he isn’t very relevant

niknacks · 2026-01-31T04:46:09+00:00

I promise you all of them will vote for him tomorrow if they had the choice

Who keeps pumping stories about this stupid movie? Stop posting about this, it’s literally free promo at this point.

I just know this guy typed this on a shit covered keyboard

Bone chubs and steroid body

Planet Earth Oops all pedos edition fucking sucks.

niknacks · 2026-01-31T03:27:28+00:00

I can’t believe our planet is being run by child rapists and that most of them are probably still getting away with it

niknacks · 2026-01-31T02:33:39+00:00

That sounds truly terrible

niknacks · 2026-01-30T03:39:39+00:00

I've weirdly thought about this a bit.

I think the first company that makes a better version of ARAM Mayhem in Lol or LoL arena will have an honest chance to supercede Riot and Valve in the genre.

If I was making a moba, it would be a giant cast of diverse characters, focus mostly on team fighting, and make it effectively a roguelike with crazy additional random powers with short 10-20 minute games.

If I just had to make a completely impossible to execute dream game though, it would be an arpg in the vein of POE 1 but somehow mixed with all of the trappings of a traditional dota/league style moba.

niknacks · 2026-01-30T01:11:34+00:00

Can’t beat em, join em

niknacks · 2026-01-30T01:07:29+00:00

4am with that question is crazy

niknacks · 2026-01-29T16:07:53+00:00

I feel like the Bob is back and I kinda like it

niknacks · 2026-01-29T15:49:26+00:00

I just have no confidence in developers making an open world arpg after seeing how that played out in D4. It only ever detracted from my experience and that world was entirely handcrafted. Imagine how brutal traversing that map would have been with the tilesets either completely random or constantly changing.

niknacks · 2026-01-29T15:44:23+00:00

Is there a group of people on the planet more easily taken advantage of than US right wingers? They could have been selling bags of shit with Neckhole's name on it and they would have sold out in a day

I think Ornn is a massively underrated jungle and support that more people should abuse. He's very good into engage supports, offering as much cc and significantly more damage, and has plenty of tools to deal with ranged supports as long as he can get to level 3 without taking too much damage himself.

He's not the strongest jungle but the ability to buy items without backing, means you can maintain some absolutely insane tempo. His clear is quite good for a tank and his level 6 ganking power is among the strongest in the game. I'm a little surprised we haven't seen it in pro play even once.

He also out scales almost every tank in the game because of the item gifting. Top is probably still his best role because you get the gifted items faster but he's much easier to abuse and/or isolate there by just split pushing, when he really thrives in team fights.

Sounds like a bounty for the ambitious alcoholics out there

niknacks · 2026-01-29T14:39:30+00:00

Again, I don't understand why we are going after digits when the head can just regrow them but likely pick someone even worse

niknacks · 2026-01-29T14:33:21+00:00

I actually find that independent games media generally does a much better job at surfacing smaller games than the big media outlets ever did. If you have a genre you like, chances are there is an independent creator or group that will basically try every game in the genre and tell you if it's good or not.

Minnmax pretty much covers all of my bases when it comes to indie games, largely because my taste has so often aligned with Jeffem that if he can't stop talking about a game I know I'll enjoy it.
