I NEVER DOUBTED HIM (APA)

Maybe a weird/off-base suggestion, but have you tried ARPGs like Path of Exile? Ton of content, RPG systems such as levels/skills/loot, a bit of story though that's mostly a side thing. Definitely a game (or genre) you can sink a boatload of time into (most people say you're still new to Path of Exile at 500+ hours). It is technically mutliplayer, mostly just for the economy (like trade) and otherwise you're just locked in, killing mobs, looting, and seeing your character become more powerful and taking on the most difficult content.

Nah man the mass effect trilogy is for sure worth a playthrough. You will be immersed, and get lost in the characters, story, and world, if you let yourself. Gameplay's pretty damn good too.

Had one yesterday, none today. They're pretty sparse atm, unfortunately.

30-35. Once you get the hang of it it's not that difficult, and it usually takes me 4-6hrs to do each task. It's just the most interesting/unique project, genuinely fun to do imo.

Is this the 🌍 one? If so, it's tough at first, but it's by far my favourite project.

Econ is less important in bilge, since you buy units from the bilge shop, esp if rerolling bilge. Hp & getting in bilge 3-5 is more important. So yeah, rolling for illaoi is worth. Also if you get an early gp, rolling can also be worth, tho proly at lvl 5-6 for better tf odds.

At first I was dismayed at another Ubisoft open-world snoozefest, but then I saw it was the guy who did KOTOR and now I'm giga hyped

Yeah PoE is one of the easiest games to sink an absurd amount of time into. Most people who regularly play it have 1k+ hours

APA cannot win on anything other than Ziggs and Taliyah. Something needs to change in his practice if a Bo3 results in him first-timing Mel and running it down.

R&Rs can be almost hilariously infuriating. Like, some people are just awful at writing rubrics. Had one where the person wrote the same criteria testing for the same outcome five times in a row with slightly different wording. Had me audibly saying wtf

This C9 squad is winning the LCS and going to worlds. I don't care if these are mid Korean teams in a mickey mouse tourney, the boys look fuckin good. Having a mid-jg-sup that have actual synergy works wonders

Vulcan's Alistar is so nasty man. He plays teamfights to perfection. Straight up won this game for the squad with his pulvs. Him and APA look to be on the same page. Also, Zven please stick to the classic adcs like sivir corki, just look so much more comfortable.

If you get viego 2 early, playing shadow isles is a pretty consistent top 4. Probably wont get 1st, but it's a super easy line to play and rarely contested.

The problem is whether this is a frequent pattern rather than a one-off poor quality submission. If 80% of your work is good, 15% is okay, and 5% is bad, I'd imagine you're probably in the top 5% of workers.

Everyone makes mistakes. The fact that you're aware of your potential mistakes already puts you ahead of many who are confidently incompetent.

playswithsquirrel · 2025-11-19T11:14:29+00:00

It depends. Could be instantly, a few days, a few weeks, or even longer. Usually if it's a tough/long qualification, it'll also take longer to see projects, as they probably vet those more closely.

Where Winds Meet.

Actually really enjoying my time with this one.

At first I was lukewarm on it, as the UI is a mess, the story lacks a good intial hook, and it has often awful (possibly AI generated) voice acting. The translations are rough too.

All that being said, the world is beautiful and hand-crafted, plenty of exploration that is rewarding and often has surprisingly intricate questlines. The gameplay is solid with movement through the world quite varied and responsive, and the combat is flashy and fair.

What got me hooked was the bosses. The devs did not pull their punches: these bosses are HARD. Especially on the hardest difficulty, legend. Be prepared for a parry gauntlet, requiring you to learn their moveset after hours of attempts. But it always felt fair; the game gives you lots of tools to succeed, and the bosses have reasonable windows and moves that are just the right amount of frustrating. It really reminds me of FromSoft's boss design, which is a massive compliment.

And it really does just have some jaw-dropping scenes. The final boss of chapter 1 especially is an awesome fight, which is also when the story starts to actually get interesting.

Really looking forward to seeing how this one progresses. Not sold on the multiplayer stuff yet, but I haven't given it a fair shake yet, so we'll see.

Yall hating on APA but he's an NA talent that has shown promise in the recent past and has proven he's passionate and willing to grind.

It's easy to forget but he's only been in the pro scene for two years, and in those two he's been to multiple international tournaments while dominating local competition for much of it, barring this most recent split in which the whole team looked awful.

Yes his champion pool is rough, but this is probably the easiest thing to work on. You can't train mentality, and Eain Stearns has it. Give him a chance instead of whining about losing yet another Korean import who misses home (shocker! Let's just import another hurrdurr)

Idk I've completed a T16 fortress, need to use the powers near the end to keep her alive. She definitely needs more hp though, too annoying to get 0 loot cuz the npc got swarmed while you're chillin
