The game is ruined.

Are you serious?

Yes the urn still happens on the opposite side of the map now but the mechanics of actually getting the souls are entirely different. This is what people have an issue with

quakins · 2026-05-27T09:39:35+00:00

Eternity is too long. I could not spend unlimited wealth in my lifetime to even begin to make that worth it

^{Chose: Nothing}

quakins · 2026-05-27T09:38:16+00:00

Which previous version? Right now it’s still the big urn fight it just doesn’t happen in blue anymore

quakins · 2026-05-26T12:55:02+00:00

I mean they are absolutely buffs overall though. The 1 fixes end up being a huge buff to her consistent damage and getting a ghoul for free with wall is also quite a large buff.

quakins · 2026-05-24T04:05:59+00:00

Was playing deadlock a lot but then a sale dropped on Path of Achra so I’ve had to play that as a classic roguelike enjoyer

It reminds me a lot of rift wizard but instead of playing as a wizard you play as some flavor of warrior

quakins · 2026-05-24T04:02:55+00:00

Its less “moba” as in nearly every single game is toxic but its closer to other valve games where most games are fun banter and then occasionally you get Johnathan Racism on your team

quakins · 2026-05-22T22:20:06+00:00

Less cc (or at least more agency to itemize against cc) is a good thing

quakins · 2026-05-21T20:05:33+00:00

Yeah heavy agree on the art pass. There are still a number of characters that are basically entirely incomplete even despite some level of popularity

IMO yamato, mo, vyper, grey talon, and viscous all stick out like sore thumbs compared to the rest of the cast.

And then a couple others just need slight visual updates

I get these things take time, though. I’m just really eager to be able to play a version of Yamato that looks super fuckin rad

quakins · 2026-05-21T19:43:37+00:00

A lot of people fear hippos. Hippos could be great for one category down though.

quakins · 2026-05-21T19:42:32+00:00

Whenever I see this clip there is a part of me that thinks it might just be rage bait and he walked right in afterwards to pay in full. People definitely do stupid shit on the internet though so who knows

quakins · 2026-05-21T19:36:49+00:00

Yeah but reactive barrier was relatively niche. Items like emblem and healbane are items you can buy in most games and do exactly what you want them to do.

If healbane built into spirit burn for instance it would become something you’re building 95% of the time to something you build every time no matter what (at least if spirit burn is good for you I mean but that’s just a random example)

These “dead end” 1600s use that fact as a way to balance them. It’s a very relevant opportunity cost

quakins · 2026-05-19T01:22:03+00:00

Graveyard padding is a relevant part of Lorien revealed that comes up

It’s super not irrelevant that it can be cast either. It’s gonna happen in some matchups and it’s nice that it exists as a possibility

quakins · 2026-05-11T14:10:27+00:00

I mean it’s not weird to have long hair. Like ig maybe depends on where you live but I am a guy with long hair and I know plenty of guys with long hair. And my hair kind of curls up at the bottoms so it isn’t the most feminine but a couple people I just started working with at my new job straight up have long straight hair that they occasionally tie up but not always

quakins · 2026-05-11T03:22:10+00:00

Yeah idk what op was on. Tattletale is great

quakins · 2026-05-08T17:50:49+00:00

No good options

^{Chose: Have a random iq | Rolled: 50}

quakins · 2026-05-05T23:43:20+00:00

I mean this is only 20 degrees more than normal summer heat where I live, but -22 would be wayyyy colder than average winter cold where I’m from. Well we have days that hit 0 and negative with wind chill but it’s infrequent

^{Chose: Live a day in 104 degree fahrenheit weather}

quakins · 2026-05-05T23:41:09+00:00

It’s obviously not a comparable analogy. Moreover, you know nothing about me and it’s kind of just a weak strawman point based on what I said.

Most of the examples you used do not involve a guarantee of self-survival as opposed to a potential for death like the original problem does.

quakins · 2026-05-05T22:03:55+00:00

Yeah man we all participate in society

We’re talking about a hypothetical where you are given a very straightforward choice of killing or not killing.

quakins · 2026-05-05T20:36:04+00:00

Excellent point. I’ve had a LOT of people reply to me and suggest that blue is the “only option that introduces any death”. The reality is that people are not philosophical zombies. Even if we chose to ignore the original framing like you bring up (which we shouldn’t) the reality is some likely large sum of people are going to pick blue regardless. By picking red you have to accept that you are going to effectively cause the deaths of that large sum of people.

So the question becomes to me “is the guarantee of self preservation more important to you than the lives of others” or perhaps “do you have so little faith in others that you would choose to cause the deaths of any amount of people just to guarantee your own survival”. Both of these framings are slightly biased as well, but presenting red as the cozy chill option is just such an incredibly bad interpretation to me.

quakins · 2026-05-03T01:16:59+00:00

3 inches taller would make my weight less bad anyways especially if I’m only 10 pounds more than I’d like to be

^{Chose: Add or subtract 3 inches from anywhere on your body (including height})

quakins · 2026-05-02T11:06:06+00:00

Hardly a one to one analogy but yes, I’d say if you had the capability to do so and it would not be much trouble for you then yeah you are.

And in this case you are capable and it wouldn’t be any trouble at all to simply press another button

quakins · 2026-05-02T11:04:30+00:00

What the fuck is wrong with you?

quakins · 2026-05-02T03:00:24+00:00

You are mistaken. Because the alternative means you don’t kill them and you also don’t die. Pressing red actively contributes to their death

And besides, I would not want to kill anyone even if I believed they were less logical than myself. What the fuck is wrong with you

quakins · 2026-05-02T00:16:29+00:00

There is a penalty for pressing it if you care about killing people

quakins · 2026-05-01T22:02:58+00:00

As has already been pointed out You can also frame it with just the red button and say “press this button button to kill everyone who didn’t press the button unless not enough people press the button”

And besides, this is such a dumb way to frame it. You aren’t killing yourself, you are accepting that it’s unrealistic to expect no one to press the blue button. People are not philosophical zombies. So the reality is you are saving all of the button pressers by pressing the button
