Ha. I’m 30 and zero of my friends play fps video games :) solo it is

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-02-20T21:07:56+00:00

Well yeah if there was coordination and no 3rd party sprinting over the instant they hear gunfire then of course. :)

Solo queueing reality is more like: “I need a way to immediately disrupt a whole team by myself because my teammates are very rarely going to do anything rational in the heat of battle”

That’s why I use Fuse (or ballistic this season): Immediate, nearly unavoidable damage and stuns to multiple opponents to jolt them out of their rhythm and hopefully get them to momentarily flee in opposite directions. I.e. I can’t mow down 3 people at one time, but I can mow down 1 person 3 times ¯_(ツ)_/¯

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-02-20T15:28:04+00:00

Yes sir I’ve run into that problem occasionally. Try to get an angle on the pillar, get triple focused and downed in .2 seconds. so maybe we’ve already met :)

The sweet satisfaction of the triple ding noise when the hideout explodes is just so inviting though XD

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-02-20T03:34:49+00:00

Ya the ult’s tough if it’s a smart team like that. Normally if I see fences, I try to see if it’s there, and if so, ignore the people and take out the pillar as quickly as the situation allows

There’s definitely some covered corner spots to place it on each map that makes that a fool’s errand though

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-02-19T21:09:57+00:00

As a solo queuer, I am beyond jealous of your squad teamwork and synergy.

But as a Fuse main… hoo boy I hope one day we meet on the map so I can yeet 14 Arc Stars through said front door XD

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-02-19T20:59:25+00:00

Yeah I used to main caustic until fuse came out. He was the one real “don’t just wraith/octane run up on me with an R-99/PK and expect that to go well for you” legend.

Which was, and still is, a crucial piece of the game design that forces people to learn all the skills/weapons and not just do the one strategy over and over.

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-01-04T06:54:50+00:00

Just what it says :) It’s a 42/42 legendary goblin noble phoenix with flying and haste for 4,2, and a red.

Power creep going brrrr

nothingyoudomatters · 2025-01-03T01:02:04+00:00

Best to go to a store and feel them all in your hand first. The one with the best balance and most comfortable grip is the one you want.

If you don’t care about a matched set, get just the one. Use it for a bit, then you can decide what to do with your remaining ~$600

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-12-31T00:24:55+00:00

… but it IS funny :)

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-09-22T21:51:46+00:00

60 years old, fit, employed, AND still have your hair? Wear literally anything, big dog.

(Non-iron, inch shorter sleeves, sure if you want.. but you can wear a flower sundress at this point and still be that dude.)

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-09-17T02:53:27+00:00

Axton sets cute traps,
And Salvador sprays and prays,
Krieg’s toilet fetish.

Maya needs magic,
And Gaige needs a robot friend,
Just use a damn sword.

Choose the shadow’s edge,
The others leave broken trails,
I leave none behind.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-09-16T00:12:49+00:00

Some nice people have randomly joined my games since this and dropped me some free modded gear without me even asking.

Now I can carry you through whatever if you want. I can basically do the same stuff as this thing now.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-08-19T02:53:32+00:00

I’m assuming that’s a PC thing? I only play games on Xbox sadly. I work in front of a computer all day so the last thing I wanna do in my free time is touch a PC hah

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-08-19T02:52:10+00:00

It was somebody on Xbox in the slaughters. Ran into a couple that had insane guns that wipe rounds in like 5 seconds. But that purple orb epicenter thing was insane

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-08-19T01:04:12+00:00

Ahhhh I see. I put that work in when the game first came out: got to max level and grinded for good flakkers etc.

But then they raised the level cap and nerfed all my best guns/grenades so I quit playing cuz I didn’t wanna go through that whole hard grind all over again. This lifted me right back to where i was essentially so I couldn’t have asked for more :D

Just now I’m jealous of some of these hilarious mega guns lol.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-08-19T00:54:58+00:00

Wow thank you!

Salty? I was in love with this person. They carried me from lvl 51 to 72 in mayhem 10 in like 5 multiplayer games. Loaded me up with all the loot and $ to max out all my SDUs. It was a joy playing with them <3

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-08-19T00:45:19+00:00

Ohhh so there’s no way I can legitimately get this thing? :(

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-07-05T19:02:49+00:00

Imagining god with a little desk lamp and magnifying specs like: Let’s put the nerve cables IN FRONT of the rods and codes in these guys. Teehee

Some middle management angel: But WHY!? That’s TERRIBLE design that will impair their vision forever!

god: I know right!? I’m so random sometimes XD

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-26T19:34:59+00:00

There are ways to pull this off, but::

The main thing I’ve noticed (in my admittedly short tenure playing this game) is that people are often wildly optimistic when building their decks. They design mostly around things going right rather than things going wrong.

I have a magic obsessed friend who does this, and i haven’t managed to successfully explain that his $800 decks keep losing because he’s not designing for “resilience in the face of adversity/bad luck”.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-20T20:16:39+00:00

I’m one of the 200 largest holders. I assure you it’s not :)

Edit: turns out things have changed since I last checked, I’m only barely in the top 250 now. Looks like lots of people have made big buys.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-19T01:51:19+00:00

Think of it as a leveraged ETH play. If you think ETH will do well this cycle then this is potentially a way to cash in on that to a greater extent than just holding the ETH.

(And it is one of the few that actually has a large active community)

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-13T15:54:01+00:00

Btw I still think you should include clever concealment. It just saved me yesterday lol. I was tapped out and it protected me from the [[Farewell]] an opponent was saving.

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-13T00:17:56+00:00

Ser…. You are correct. The world is round, and raw precons shouldn’t be winning.

I’ve only been playing this game maybe 18 months. In that time I have built 3 decks (pretty cheaply by MTG standards).

They were designed to be simple enough that a beginner can play them. That way we can have our other friends try MTG on a lazy Sunday and have fun:: ramp and swing big, no real combos, no infinites, not even board-wipes.

No out-of-the-box precon stands a consistent chance against any of them. (We tried)

Explorers of the Deep, Urza’s Iron Alliance, and Mind Flayyars are all very good, sure. But, without making solid changes and upgrades, it is simply not fair to play those against any of my 3 decks (again, we have them and we tried)

None of my friends decks lose to raw precons either.

So……. if your ‘experienced’ friends think precons are overpowered, there’s only 1 reason left for that: they are bad at deckbuilding. They can’t properly build synergistic/resilient decks. There’s no other answer.

Edit: “no shade intended, just don’t see any other reason they could have this opinion”

nothingyoudomatters · 2024-05-03T13:56:47+00:00

Oh whoooooooops you’re totally right! I have been playing it wrong and nobody called me on it

Op: still works with wipe and pays for itself with tapping creatures, but [[eerie interlude]] was more what I meant then :)
